Dear Kirsty - A starting point for you is the Internet Research Ethics project at (http://internetresearchethics.org/), led by my colleague Elizabeth Buchanan. Here, we've amassed a digital library of related articles, and included an open forum and links to other resources. The idea of hosting a collection of current organizational guidelines would be a good enhancement. Best, Michael. -- Michael Zimmer, PhD Assistant Professor, School of Information Studies Director, BS in Information Science & Technology Program Associate, Center for Information Policy Research University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee e: zimmerm@uwm.edu w: www.michaelzimmer.org On Nov 21, 2010, at 11:21 PM, Kirsty Young wrote:
Hello
I am currently writing a chapter to contribute to a book focused on ethics and adolescents and my focus is research of online spaces. I am also a representative on my University's Human Research Ethics Committee, a committee which seeks guidance on the appropriate evaluation of research applications investigating online spaces.
As the ethical issues surrounding online research are of continued debate I wondered if anyone may be able to share their current institutional/organisational guidelines on these issues and/or recent research or discussion papers. I am particularly interested in guidelines/papers prepared post-2008.
If not already established, I would be happy to set up a resource space for us to collate and access emerging knowledge in this area.
Kind regards Kirsty
