I'm supervising a similar project where the researcher is analyzing newspaper articles on a topic, and interviewing journalists on the process of reporting on that topic. We are referring to specific, identified news stories. The interviews will not be directly quoted, and interviewees will be anonymous, but our IRB advised us to warn the journalists that people who knew them well or followed the topic closely would be able to identify them. I think it is unlikely because of how the interviews will be written up, but I agree that they should be warned. Sometimes you can, but you shouldn't.

I will then be conducting an online discussion with 10-12 bloggers on a closed site. Their identity will be protected by a username of their choice, but can I use the real URL and name of their blogs (I would tell them that I'm doing this)? I'm of the opinion that I can because they are publicly-available, but one of my more traditional advisers has doubts. Any thoughts?

How to archive websites?
by Szulc Lukasz 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Hi all, For my PhD project I want to analyse Polish and Turkish websites for sexual and gender minorities. The problem I'm facing right now is how to archive the whole websites? Is it possible? If yes, could you recommend me any good (and preferably free) software to do so? I also can save a web page (not the whole website) using my browser but then not all elements are saved (e.g. banners). The same is also true for creating PDF files using software like PDF creator (working as a printer). One of the option is to have a screenshots of home page and other pages I want to analyse. Do you think it will be enough? The disadvantage of this method is that if after a year I realize I want to look at some other sub-pages it won't be possible any longer. I'd be very grateful for your help, Best, Lukasz Lukasz Szulc PhD Candidate University of Antwerp Department of Communication Studies www.ua.ac.be/lukasz.szulc

Their identity will be protected by a username of their choice, but can I use the real URL and name of their blogs (I would tell them that I'm doing this)?

To archive websites, you can try Httrack (free), or paid for software such as Offline Explorer or Teleport pro / ultra. Easy to find on the Web, and check them out for your specific needs. Another option is Zotero for advanced screencapturing and annotation.
