# Dataset for Paper "Ethical Issues in Empirical Studies using Student Subjects: Re-visiting Practices and Perceptions" - Rev 1# This is the dataset for the paper titled "Ethical Issues in Empirical Studies using Student Subjects: Re-visiting Practices and Perceptions". All mapping study data has the prefix *MAP*, while all survey data the prefix *SUR*. It has been updated for a major revision at Springer Empirical Software Engineering (Rev 1). In case of questions, feel free to contact the author, Grischa Liebel, orcid:0000-0002-3884-815X, current affiliation and email: Reykjavik University, Iceland, [e-mail] ## Systematic Mapping Study ## The mapping study data is mainly contained in the *MAPmappingStudy.xlsx* file. Different tabs are used for the two phases: exclusion by title and abstract (tab *title_abs*), and exclusion by fulltext (tab *fulltextScreening*). The final set of papers is obtained by filtering the *fulltextScreening* tab by included papers (Column V). The tab *fulltextScreening* contains a number of columns named \*range (e.g., *noStudentsRange*). These columns contain the unified/categorised values for the verbatim values listed in the column with the same name without *range*. For instance, *noStudentsRange* contains the range of students in the primary study, while *noStudents* contains the actual number obtained from the studies. The file *MAPvenues.txt* contains the included venues in the mapping study. Finally, the raw search results are provided as BIB/RIS files with the prefix *MAPRAW*. ## Survey ## The survey folder contains the survey pages (named *surveyPageN.pdf*), as well as the raw data in *surveyDataAnon.xlsx*. Note that free-text answers have been aggregated, anonymised, and sorted alphabetically in individual tabs. Similarly, countries that only occur once have been changed to Do Not Disclose answers, and all answers have been sorted randomly. All questions are listed by their acronym. The corresponding questions, as well as possible answers, are described in the ...
