The era of digital communication provides endless opportunities for
the collection and analysis of social data in novel ways. It also
presents new and unanticipated challenges, as researchers are often
inventing elements of their methodologies on the fly or studying a
phenomenon or media platform for the first time. Research Exposed
offers in-depth, behind-the-scenes accounts of doing empirical
social science in this new paradigm. Through firsthand descriptions
of innovative research projects, it shares lessons learned from
over a dozen scholars’ cutting-edge work. These candid accounts
describe what can go wrong when pioneering new genres of research
and how such difficulties can be overcome, giving both big-picture
reflection and actionable advice. The chapters discuss a variety of
methods, ranging from the completely novel to the use of more
traditional approaches in the digital context, and cover research
questions relevant to a range of disciplines, including sociology,
political science, communication, information studies, and
anthropology. By focusing attention on the concrete details seldom
discussed in final project write-ups or traditional research
guides, Research Exposed helps equip junior and senior scholars
alike with essential information that is all too often left with no
outlet for sharing. It offers important insights into how empirical
social science research can be both innovative and rigorous when
dealing with the opportunities and challenges presented by digital
media.
