IIT has compiled codes of ethics of professional societies, corporations, government, and academic institutions. More than 850 codes were contributed by organizations. Earlier versions of codes of ethics of some organizations represented are available so researchers can study the development of codes. A literature review, an introduction to the codes, and a User Guide are included. The production of this site was accomplished in collaboration with IIT's Instructional Multimedia Center. Comparing codes from different disciplines can be incredibly insightful. What differentiates professional engineers and social workers? How do journalists deal with confidential sources? Why does each profession differ in their treatment of disclosure? What controls when an individual is involved in two disciplines or professional organizations? When is a code "out of date?"
