Abstract
In the library and information sciences (LIS), data ethics is an area of increasing focus. The purpose of this study is to answer these questions and comprehensively define data ethics in the LIS fields based on the diverse body of literature on the topic. Through an integrative literature review, we found four overarching themes in LIS literature on data ethics: privacy, research ethics, ethical ecosystems, and control. Additionally, these four themes gave us an opportunity to create a comprehensive definition of data ethics in the library and information science fields.
