    The Importance of Data Ethics in Data Interpretation
    (Data Curation Network, 2024-08-15) Cunningham, Tonja
    Reflections from NCDS Intern. From the intro: "As a newly minted MLS graduate, I embarked on the Spring 2024 National Center for Data Services (NCDS) / Data Curation Network (DCN) internship with a quaint perspective on data. I believed that data, particularly research data, existed as an objective collection of facts and figures, shielded from human biases. However, my internship experience has dispelled this notion. Data and research do not exist in isolation; they are shaped by the biases, assumptions, and limitations of those who generate, collect, analyze, and, most importantly, interpret it."
