Abstract

Qualitative researchers have always been concerned with using ethical practices, but this goal has become more difficult now that we are able to communicate with individuals around the world for social, professional, and educational purposes. As a result, researchers who study electronic communities or describe online communications must change their research tools and adapt their activities to new environments. This article explores the possibilities of online research within the context of ethical qualitative practice, and offers suggestions for appropriate ways in which to use these tools.
