Data Management
In this media piece you are considering the science practices of ethics, reduction of bias, and peer review in the context of your own body data collection within this course.
For over a month, you have been collecting body data. Consider a scenario where that data was collected and analyzed as part of a larger study on body health in a remote learning environment. How could consideration of ethics, reduction of bias, and peer review impact the quality of data you are collecting?
You are turning in a summary of how ethical considerations, reduction of bias and peer review could relate to your own body data collection.
Some possible questions to include and address are:
- What ethical concerns or considerations could arise related to collecting your data?
- How could bias be reduced in your data collection?
- What would be a benefit of having a peer review your data collection process?
