Abstract
Open sharing of social media data raises new ethical questions that researchers,
repositories, and data curators must confront, with little existing guidance available. In
this paper, the authors draw upon their experiences in their multiple roles as data
curators, academic librarians, and researchers to propose the STEP framework for
curating and sharing social media data. The framework is intended to be used by data
curators facilitating open publication of social media data. Two case studies from the
Dryad Digital Repository serve to demonstrate implementation of the STEP framework.
The STEP framework can serve as one important "step" along the path to achieving
safe, ethical, and reproducible social media research practice.
