But importantly, it facilitates the synthesis of such work in a way that is comprehensive and transparent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primary Research Online<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Much modern human activity is performed online which facilitates researchers in collecting their own data (referred to as primary research) online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Observation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Online observation studies and \u201cNon-Reactive Data Collection\u201d are conducted in an unobtrusive way to observe human behaviour as it happens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The internet provides multiple opportunities for researchers to observe all types of human behaviour in a way that is non-invasive and efficient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interviews, questionnaires, and experiments<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Interviews are flexible research methods that require a pre-defined or systematic approach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus Groups are a variant of the interview method conducted with small groups of people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Questionnaires are a research tool that comprises a series of predefined questions or other statements distributed so as to collect information from respondents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experiments are a research situation or activity that has been specifically designed and controlled so as to allow researchers to establish causal inference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Considerations for Online Data Collection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Online methods provide several advantages over traditional delivery.&nbsp; Executing research online can be faster and cheaper, can give a researcher greater control of the design, greater flexibility and functionality, and can make participating a more comfortable experience. They also allow researchers to access larger or more difficult-to-access samples.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Researchers have debated whether or not online research produces data of a similar quality to offline research. The major threats to collecting high quality data online are:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Non-responses or drop-out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biased self-selection or sampling procedures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The varied setting in which people participate in online research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In general conducting research online brings advantages that balance out the scientific and practical disadvantages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internet Research Ethics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Various ethical issues arise that are particular to conducting research online.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One of the most debated issues is around the way in which researchers use data that may appear to be publically available and how this might impinge on participants\u2019 privacy or might otherwise negatively affect them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conducting research online has also raised discussions about ethical dissemination and children\u2019s rights to online protection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Researchers need to stay continuously sensitive, considerate, and informed about current debates and best practices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Researchers must continue to employ careful consideration of various research design issues if they are to obtain high quality data from online research.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The continued growth of the internet will likely mean that conducting research online becomes more commonplace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-query alignwide is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-385 content type-content status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized content-type-content parent-book-40 resource-type-audio-and-video-links\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h2 class=\"alignwide wp-block-post-title\">Chapter 2 &#8211; Audio and Video links<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content alignwide wp-block-post-content is-layout-flow wp-block-post-content-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this video, Dr Lee Fallin overviews a number of important ethical considerations for anyone conducting internet-mediated research, or internet research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6tKlUl-Ia_Y\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6tKlUl-Ia_Y<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this video, Dr Christine Hine of the University of Surry talks about Online Research Methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=No8RZOebhX8\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=No8RZOebhX8<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this video seminar, Laura Odwazny discusses strategies for managing the relevant ethical issues and regulatory considerations, including assessing the privacy and identifiability of subject information obtained via the Internet; the use of the Internet for subject recruitment and retention; informed consent procedures; and maintaining confidentiality in an online environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/videocast.nih.gov\/summary.asp?Live=13932&amp;bhcp=1\">http:\/\/videocast.nih.gov\/summary.asp?Live=13932&amp;bhcp=1<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-384 content type-content status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized content-type-content parent-book-40 resource-type-weblinks\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h2 class=\"alignwide wp-block-post-title\">Chapter 2 &#8211; Useful Websites<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content alignwide wp-block-post-content is-layout-flow wp-block-post-content-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ulf-Dietrich Reips has published extensively on the nature of online research methods.
