Over the past twenty years the normative framework that underpins social science research has undergone major shifts. Among the most salient changes is the growing incentive to archive, share and reuse research data. Today, many governments, funding agencies, research infrastructures and editors are pushing what is commonly known as Open Research Data (ORD). By reflecting on concrete experiences of data sharing, the different contributions to this issue point to the ethical challenges posed by this new trend. Through a fine objectivation of the archiving work, they call to take distance from the bureaucratic framework imposed by the new ethics and ORD policies and to think of data sharing as a situated, contextual and dynamic process. The cost of the exercise as well as the sensitivity of certain data and subjects suggest opting for flexible approaches that leave a certain autonomy and freedom of appraisal to researchers.

在过去的20年中，支撑社会科学研究的规范框架发生了重大变化。最显着的变化之一就是越来越多的动机要求存档，共享和重用研究数据。如今，许多政府，资助机构，研究基础设施和编辑人员都在推动所谓的开放研究数据（ORD）。通过反思数据共享的具体经验，对此问题的不同贡献指出了这一新趋势带来的道德挑战。通过对归档工作的一个很好的理解，他们呼吁与新的道德规范和ORD政策所强加的官僚主义框架保持距离，并将数据共享视为一个处在环境，动态和动态的过程。
