  • Summary

    Throughout this guide, you will find that, in addition to their ideological or theoretical foundations, most of the considerations, discussions and decisions you participate in through the editing process are necessarily framed within a moral or ethical lens. Here, I differentiate between the terms:

    • moral – personal/individual conceptions of right and wrong, and how we should live – and

    • ethical – upholding standards for right and wrong/good and bad in a particular setting.

    The Institute of Professional Editor's (IPEd) Australian Standards for Ethical Practice (ASEP) and its Code of Conduct are ethical standards. How you respond to these as a member of IPEd is a demonstration of the moral framework that drives your personal and professional conduct. An important aspect of adhering to a professional code is accountability.
