The Critical Research Into Tech (CRiT) Toolkit

This toolkit offers researchers guidance on navigating collaborations with major technology companies, highlighting potential ethical issues and outlining strategies to mitigate risks throughout a project's lifecycle. It emphasizes key considerations such as the initial decision to partner, understanding contractual agreements, recognizing unfavorable corporate behaviors, managing one's public persona, and the importance of collective action among researchers for better negotiating power. The resource aims to equip academics with tools to maintain integrity and control over their research when working in industry partnerships.
