“…Concept of Digital Research Method (DRM) is a research approach that utilizes Internet and technology to obtain data, process and manipulate data, and analyze data (Bailey et al, 2015;Levenberg et al, 2018;Snee et al, 2016). Information technology helps researchers conduct data collection like contemporary research without face-to-face (physical) meeting.…”

“…Through some exercises and experiments during the workshop in 2020 when the pandemic was started, we identify four elements of DRM in the context of social and humanities research, such as Digital Data, Digital software for data collection, digital software for data manipulation or data processing, and the digital software for data analysis (see Figure 1). Utilizing digital data in research generally employs all DRM elements, which can be called fully digital research from retrieving data until analyzing digital demands for digital software (Howard, 2016;Jones, 1999;Levenberg et al, 2018). In the context of the COVID-19 global pandemic, DRM can be used to substitute a contemporary approach which is barely undertaken like in normal situation (Rifai, et al, 2020).…”

Unprecedented COVID-19 global pandemic entails uncertain conditions, which lead people to seek alternative solutions to make activities running accordingly. Limited movements due to travel restriction and health protection confine people’s activities, including the research process. Postponing research activities is arguably not the best solution for scholars, mainly while conducting data collection. In social and humanities research, researchers mostly undertake data collection through field studies and face-to-face communications prior to the pandemic. Social distancing procedures, however, encourage people to avoid close contacts and cancel visit plans. Thus, researchers are necessary to find an alternative method during uncertainty situation. Digital research method (DRM) seems to be a plausible way to keep research ongoing, although the implementation of that method in the developing countries’ research activities, compared to the developed countries, remains lagging behind. This research aims to position DRM amidst the pandemic situation and show possibilities in using this method as an alternative in the developing countries by taking Indonesia as a case study. Results show that to make DRM works in Indonesia, some requirements need to be fulfilled to meet academic standards, and whether relevant or not the research topic applies to be processed utilizing digital method are also essential to be considered.
