A Research Ethics Completeness Analysis for CHASE 2008-2025

This repository contains the materials for a meta-research study analyzing ethics reporting practices across 231 papers published at the International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE) between 2008 and 2025. The analysis consisted of codifying each paper across 10 ethics-related dimensions and assigning an Ethics Completeness Score (ECS) to quantify ethics reporting completeness. The materials are organized as follows: chase_papers.xlsx: a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with the study's data resulting from the codification of each paper for the ethics-related dimensions imports: a directory containing auxiliary R scripts for importing data and setting up a customized theme for charts analysis: a directory containing the R scripts used for statistical analysis and generation of charts plots: a directory storing the plots generated from the analysis with the R scripts The materials are provided to support transparency, reproducibility, and secondary analyses by other researchers. Detailed instructions for replicating the analyses are included in the README file.本仓库收录了一项元研究的相关材料，该研究针对2008年至2025年间发表于国际协作与软件工程人文因素会议（International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering，CHASE）的231篇论文，分析其伦理报告实践。本次分析通过对每篇论文的10项伦理相关维度进行编码，并赋值伦理完整性得分（Ethics Completeness Score，ECS），以量化伦理报告的完整程度。 本仓库的材料按如下结构组织： 1. chase_papers.xlsx：一份Microsoft Excel电子表格，存储了本研究中所有论文伦理相关维度的编码结果，即本研究的核心数据集。 2. imports：一个目录，包含用于导入研究数据、为图表设置自定义主题的辅助R脚本。 3. analysis：一个目录，存放用于执行统计分析及生成可视化图表的R脚本。 4. plots：一个目录，存储通过上述R脚本生成的全部分析图表。 本仓库提供的材料旨在支持研究的透明化、可复现性，并为其他研究者开展二次分析提供便利。关于复现本研究分析流程的详细说明已收录于README文件中。
