论文摘要
我们报告了我们NSF资助的项目的结果，在该项目中，我们在其中测试了一项调查，其中包括两个学科的道德实践标准的各个方面，与数学有关，美国统计协会（ASA）和计算机机械协会（ACM）（ACM）。对项目进行了修改，以使诸如“计算专家应该……”之类的文本变成“道德数学从业者...”。我们还删除了重复的元素，或者被认为即使在修改后也被认为与数学实践有关。从100多个项目（以及10个人口统计问题）开始，最终调查包括52个项目（加上人口统计），142个人对我们的邀请（通过列表服务和其他广泛的电子邮件和公告）做出了回应，以参加这项30分钟的调查。该白皮书报告了有关社区对52个项目的观点的项目方法和发现，特别是符合此级别的道德义务水平，以及从这个道德数学实践元素列表中缺少的内容。结果表明，数学家社区认为，要遵守与目前所代表的相比，要遵守道德实践标准。
We report the results of our NSF-funded project in which we alpha- and beta- tested a survey comprising all aspects of the ethical practice standards from two disciplines with relevance to mathematics, the American Statistical Association (ASA) and Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). Items were modified so that text such as "A computing professional should..." became, "The ethical mathematics practitioner...". We also removed elements that were duplicates or were deemed unlikely to be considered relevant to mathematical practice even after modification. Starting with more than 100 items, plus 10 demographic questions, the final survey included 52 items (plus demographics), and 142 individuals responded to our invitations (through listservs and other widespread emails and announcements) to participate in this 30-minute survey. This white paper reports the project methods and findings regarding the community perspective on the 52 items, specifically, which rise to the level of ethical obligations, which do not meet this level, and what is missing from this list of elements of ethical mathematical practice. The results suggest that the community of mathematicians perceives a much wider range of behaviors to be subject to ethical practice standards than is currently represented.
