contents Traditional research ethics has mainly and rightly been focused on making sure that participants are treated safely, justly, and ethically, to avoid the violation of their rights or putting participants in harm's way. Information integrity research within CSCW has also correspondingly mainly focused on these issues, and the focus of internet research ethics has primarily focused on increasing protections of participant data. However, as branches of internet research focus on more fraught contexts such as information integrity and problematic information, more explicit consideration of other ethical frames and subjects is warranted. In this workshop paper, we argue that researcher protections should be more explicitly considered and acknowledged in these studies, and should be considered alongside more standard ethical considerations for participants and for broader society.
