Abstract

The phenomenon of doctoral students seeking support outside of their home institution via a virtual/online peer community using the qualitative method of netnography (online ethnographic research). The data collected from surveys, in-depth interviews, and archived texts are data collection methods of a netnography used to study online communities. This research study will show how doctoral students collectively support one another within an online peer-to-peer collaborative environment.
