Drawing from interviews with Internet researchers from across the globe who work in diverse
disciplines and in a wide array of online venues this book examines ethical issues and
questions that Internet researchers may encounter throughout the research process. Although the
ethics of Internet research are complex the aim of the book is to provide a rhetorical
case-based process to aid researchers in ethical decision making. In doing so the book
provides Internet researchers with useful resources and heuristics for engaging in ethical
practices interactions and problem solving for their research.
