We take a broader perspective here, addressing interrelations (and tensions) between different ethical issues in language documentation and linguistic research more generally, as there are: ethics clearance procedures in academic institutions, the ethics of collaborative fieldwork, and empowerment and involvement of communities and their members in academic research, as well as scholarly ethics and its commitment to open science.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><b>Core reading:</b><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px">Van Driem, George. 2016.
