This book brings into focus the technologically augmented nature of
global online communities, advancing research methods that reveal
the imprint of emergent social forms and characterise digital
frontiers of social engagement. Drawing on insights from across the
social sciences, it presents a case study of people with passions
for reptiles and amphibians to illustrate for next generation
researchers how to conduct community research in the real world.
Richly illustrated with ethnographic research, together with
extensive survey and interview material drawn from around the
world, Research Methods and Global Online Communities explores the
changing nature of communities that form around common interests
and are embedded in a digital architecture rather than place. In
doing so, this book transcends the digital dualism of
online/offline models of community and engages with debates on the
social impacts of the internet and the adaptive nature of
community. As such, it will appeal to social scientists interested
in innovative approaches to characterising digital communities
through mixed-methods research practice.
