The American Statistical Association (ASA) and the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) have longstanding ethical practice standards that are explicitly intended to be utilized by all who use statistical practices or computing, or both. These practice standards are essential to instruction in the uses of statistical practices or computing across disciplines, as statistics and computing are critical in any data-centered activity. Ethical Reasoning For A Data-Centered World is aimed at any undergraduate or graduate students utilizing data, whether the career goal is research, teaching, business, government, or a combination. This book presents a method for understanding and prioritizing ethical statistics, computing, and data science, featuring the ASA and ACM practice standards. To facilitate engagement, integration with prior learning, and authenticity, the material is organized around seven tasks: Planning/Designing; Data Collection; Analysis; Interpretation; Reporting; Documenting; and Engaging in Team Work. This book is a companion volume to Ethical Practice of Statistics and Data Science, also published by Ethics International Press (2022). These are the first and only books to be based on and to provide guidance to the American Statistical Association (ASA) and Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) ethical guideline documents.
