Apart from lacking advice with regards to ethics and research, a problem seems to be a general lack of awareness of
ethical ways of reasoning among IS scholars. Calls for more attention to ethics in IS have been raised for some time
(e.g. Walsham, 1996) but they have not been heeded. One can speculate that reasons for this have to do with
reference disciplines from which IS scholars draw, many of which are not particularly close to ethics. The continued
dominance of the positivist approach may further cloud some of the interesting aspects of ethics in IS, as will be
developed below. Overall, it would be worth investigating why ethics continues to be poorly represented in IS, but
this is a question that leads beyond the confines of this paper.
