• Abstract: In March 2021, we held the first instalment of the tutorial on thinking through and writing about research ethics beyond 'Broader Impact' in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT '21). The goal of this tutorial was to offer a conceptual and practical starting point for engineers and social scientists interested in thinking more expansively, holistically, and critically about research ethics. This report provides an outline of the tutorial, and contains our 'lifecourse checklist'. This was presented as part of the tutorial, and provides a practical starting point for researchers when thinking about research ethics before a project's start. We provide this to the research community, with the hope that researchers use it when considering the ethics of their research.

• What Can Natural Language Processing Do for Peer Review? [173.8912784451817]
  In modern science, peer review is widely used, yet it is hard, time-consuming, and prone to error. Since the artifacts involved in peer review are largely text-based, Natural Language Processing has great potential to improve reviewing. We detail each step of the process from manuscript submission to camera-ready revision, and discuss the associated challenges and opportunities for NLP assistance.

  We focus on text summarization, a common NLP task largely overlooked by the responsible AI community. We conduct a multi-round qualitative analysis of 333 summarization papers from the ACL Anthology published between 2020-2022. We focus on how, which, and when responsible AI issues are covered, which relevant stakeholders are considered, and mismatches between stated and realized research goals.

  There is a growing movement in undergraduate computer science (CS) programs to embed ethics across classes.

We present a case study describing our process of designing an ethics-based assignment and proposing the assignment to students for feedback.
