AEJMC Code of Ethics
The AEJMC Code of Ethics was approved by the membership August 8 during the 2008 AEJMC Chicago Convention.
The Task Force on Ethics was appointed in spring 2004 by incoming president Mary Alice Shaver of Central Florida. The task force was charged to identify core values appropriate to members as well as identify ethical best practices related to training and developing the next generation of researchers and teachers.
Members of the Task Force on Ethics were: Linda Steiner of Maryland (chair), Alan Albarran of North Texas, Beth Barnes of Kentucky, Jay Black of South Florida, Sandra Borden of Western Michigan, Hub Brown of Syracuse, Cliff Christians of Illinois, Ted Glasser of Stanford, Ruth Walden of North Carolina, Dan Shaver of Central Florida and Lorna Veraldi of Florida International.
AEJMC Policies
AEJMC is pleased to add the newly approved (Dec. 2025) AEJMC Policy on the Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This important policy is the result of the dedicated work of a task force composed of members from the Research Committee, Publications Committee, and the Council of Divisions. The draft was subsequently reviewed and edited by the presidential leadership of the Association, underwent a full round of review and approval by both the Research and Publications Committees, and was ultimately voted on and approved by the 2025-26 AEJMC Board of Directors.
