Research conducted through computer-mediated communication is challenging traditional definitions of what is ethical research. In this article the author examines the changing role of assent/consent, confidentiality, and participant observation in qualitative research conducted in cyberspace. She concludes that REBs (research ethic boards) might be becoming more conservative in their decisions at the very moment that Internet research requires more flexibility and broader ethical definitions.

“…In the early 2000s, qualitative researchers began to realize the utility of internetbased data for research and the ethical questions it poses (Kitchin, 2002;Waruszynski, 2002). Kitchin argued that ethical standards of traditional research do not apply to what is found in ''cyberspace.…”

“…Unlike these public venues where characteristics such as images and voices are readily observable and describable, we cannot provide an accurate portrayal of the writers of these posts due to the concealed nature of how they communicate, that is, through written text only. Kitchin (2002), in fact, argues that online material ought to be considered public data to researchers.…”

Social media is a rapidly expanding set of technology tools that people use to communicate, learn, interact, document, create, and participate in societies worldwide. It is also transforming how social work, among other professions, conducts qualitative research. This study outlines a field-tested method used to analyze data from Reddit, a major social media platform used by 6% of online adults in the United States. It provides a step-by-step account of a Reddit-based qualitative thematic analysis from a social work heuristic lens on the subject of poverty. To our knowledge, no such account of mining social media big data from Reddit for social work practice exists in the literature. Philosophical, ethical, and practical considerations of this method are discussed.

“…According to the Canadian Tri-Council's Policy Statement (1998), Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans, academic researchers in Canada who exploit NG data are thus far exempt from the normal Research Ethics Board (REB) approval, given the public nature of such data. (For a more exhaustive discussion of the Tri-Council's failure to consider the use of ICTs, see Kitchin, 2002. ) One specific limitation of the research involves its sample.…”

Alcoholics Anonymous Discourse and Members' Resistance in a Virtual Community: Exploring Tensions between Theory and Practice

Alcoholics Anonymous has greatly informed the individual, social, and political landscape of the contemporary self-help or mutual-aid movement. There has emerged, in turn, a vast, though largely uncritical, body of research examining AA and its 12-step recovery model. A close look inside a virtual AA community, however, reveals that not all AA members embrace formal AA discourse. Through an examination of dialogue and discourse on a public Usenet newsgroup, this study demonstrates that in contrast to research that depicts AA program practices as necessarily harmonious, members' experiences of program wisdom are frequently negotiated and reassessed outside larger AA dicta. The data examined show that what becomes constituted as members' practice can be fraught with questions, tensions, and separations from conventional or ideal AA.
