10 Ethical Guidelines for Large Historical Comparative Datasets (ISA 1985). Databases should not be regarded as being in the public domain until the researchers who have assembled them have specified the sources of their data and the methods by which they were constructed. Information about sources and methods should be made available within a reasonable time. Interim data sets should be made available for inspection of their accuracy by other scholars.
