Our chapter presents a scoping review of published scientific studies or casestudies of scientific studies that utilise both citizen scientists and Internetof Things devices. Specifically, we selected studies where the authors hadincluded at least a short discussion of the ethical issues encountered duringthe research process. Having conducted a search of five databases (IEEE Xplore,Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, and PubMed), we identified 631 potentialresults. Following abstract and title screening, and then full text eligibilityassessment, we identified 34 published articles that matched our criteria. Wethen analysed the full text for these articles inductively and deductively,coding ethical issues into three main categories. These categories wereautonomy and data privacy, data quality, and intellectual property. We alsoanalysed the full text of these articles to see what strategies researcherstook to resolve these ethical issues, as well as any legal implications raised.Following this analysis, our discussion provides recommendations forresearchers who wish to integrate citizen scientists and Internet of Thingsdevices into their research. First, all citizen science projects shouldintegrate a data privacy protocol to protect the confidentiality ofparticipants. Secondly, scientific researchers should consider any potentialissues of data quality, including whether compromises might be required, beforeestablishing a project. Finally, all intellectual property issues should beclarified both at the start of the project and during its lifecycle.Researchers should also consider any ethical issues that might flow from theuse of commercially available Internet of Things devices for research.
