Because the digital environment for scholarship is constantly evolving, researchers must sometimes improvise, change their plans, and adapt. These details are often left out of research write-ups, leaving newcomers to the field frustrated when their approaches do not work as expected. Digital Research Confidential offers scholars a chance to learn from their fellow researchers' mistakes--and their successes. The book--a follow-up to Eszter Hargittai's widely read Research Confidential--presents behind-the-scenes, nuts-and-bolts stories of digital research projects, written by established and rising scholars. They discuss such challenges as archiving, Web crawling, crowdsourcing, and confidentiality. They do not shrink from specifics, describing such research hiccups as an ethnographic interview so emotionally draining that afterward the researcher retreated to a bathroom to cry, and the seemingly simple research question about Wikipedia that mushroomed into years of work on millions of data points. Digital Research Confidential will be an essential resource for scholars in every field.ContributorsMegan Sapnar Ankerson, danah boyd, Amy Bruckman, Casey Fiesler, Brooke Foucault Welles, Darren Gergle, Eric Gilbert, Eszter Hargittai, Brent Hecht, Aron Hsiao, Karrie Karahalios, Paul Leonardi, Kurt Luther, Virag Molnar, Christian Sandvig, Aaron Shaw, Michelle Shumate, Matthew Weber 606 $aSocial sciences$xResearch 606 $aSocial networks$xResearch 606 $aInternet searching 606 $aSocial scientists$xAttitudes 610 $aINFORMATION SCIENCE/Internet Studies 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Sociology 610 $aINFORMATION SCIENCE/Communications & Telecommunications 615 0$aSocial sciences$xResearch. 615 0$aSocial networks$xResearch. 615 0$aInternet searching. 615 0$aSocial scientists$xAttitudes. 676 $a302.30285 702 $aHargittai$b Eszter$f1973- 702 $aSandvig$b Christian 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810669903321 996 $aDigital research confidential$93955297 997 $aUNINA
