Internet Research Ethics

The Internet Research Ethics site hosts a library, research center, and common area for many things related to Internet research.

The mission of this project is to "push the boundaries of traditional research ethics issues, allowing transformative models for managing internet research. It exists to provide sound resources, a solidified research base, and expert advice as more researchers and more IRBs/ethics boards struggle with the complexities of Internet research ethics."
