Code of Ethics Collections
In June 1996, the Center received a grant from the National Science Foundation to put our extensive collection of codes of ethics on the web. We included those codes of ethics of professional societies, corporations, government, and academic institutions, of the over 850 codes we have in our paper archive, who gave us permission to include their code. Earlier versions of codes of ethics of some organizations represented are also available to allow researchers to study the development of codes. A literature review, an introduction to the codes, and a user's guide are included.
