Paradata as a concept that refers to process information resides firmly at the fringe of codified knowledge and organisational learning. Many different forms of information can function as paradata. There is a comparable variety in how the concept of paradata is understood. Due to the variety, having a unified definition can be debated. Major opportunities with paradata range from achieving reproducibility in data analysis and use and delivering the desired outcomes of the Open movement to increasing algorithmic and administrative accountability and transparency of artificial intelligence. However, transparency brought by paradata is not automatically virtuous. Paradata ethics and its relation to general information and knowledge management ethics is central to responsible use of paradata. Besides further inquiry into paradata concept, actual instances of paradata in the wild and how they are linked to social action, it is a key area that requires further research.  a978-3-031-53946-6
