  1. Archival Ethics and the Professionalization of Archival Enterprise.Ronald D. Houston - 2013 - Journal of Information Ethics 22 (2):46-60.
    Archival codes of ethics currently substitute lists of rules for moral guidance, possibly worsening a lack of societal respect for archives and archivists. This paper recommends the adoption of principal precepts to guide archivists in unfamiliar situations and to enhance the professionalization of archival enterprise. These principal precepts are confidentiality, dissociation, veracity, and "avoidance of the irreversible." Adoption of these precepts will move archival enterprise toward meriting the "Public Trust" and acceptance as a "trust profession.".

  • Time, truth and accountability in information control and dissemination.Louise Breslin Cameron - unknown

We appeal to ‘transparency’, but transparency is never absolute, (...)

  • What is this absence called transparency.Paul Sturges - 2007 - International Review of Information Ethics 7 (7):1-8.
    Campaigners against corruption advocate transparency as a fundamental condition for its prevention. Trans-parency in itself is not the most important thing: it is the accountability that it makes possible. Transparency itself is, in fact, a metaphor based on the ability of light to pass through a solid, but transparent, medium and reveal what is on the other side. In practice it allows the revelation of what otherwise might have been concealed, and it is applied in a social context to the (...)
