Consent is a multifaceted concept that has not received much attention in information systems literature. In this paper we categorise current electronic consent decision making systems into first generation, ex-post and principled Electronic Consent Management. We argue for the adoption of principled ECM as a way forward to consent management in information systems, and outline a research framework for ECM, proposing three key components: consent theory, ECM norms, and ECM norms' manifestation. A real world context is then selected to illustrate the framework's intention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
