Behind-the-scenes stories of how Internet research projects actually get done.The realm of the digital offers both new methods of research and new objects of study. Because the digital environment for scholarship is constantly evolving, researchers must sometimes improvise, change their plans, and adapt. These details are often left out of research write-ups, leaving newcomers to the field frustrated when their approaches do not work as expected. Digital Research Confidential offers scholars a chance to learn from their fellow researchers' mistakes--and their successes. The book--a follow-up to Eszter Hargittai's widely read Research Confidential--presents behind-the-scenes, nuts-and-bolts stories of digital research projects, written by established and rising scholars. They discuss such challenges as archiving, Web crawling, crowdsourcing, and confidentiality. They do not shrink from specifics, describing such research hiccups as an ethnographic interview so emotionally draining that afterward the researcher retreated to a bathroom to cry, and the seemingly simple research question about Wikipedia that mushroomed into years of work on millions of data points. Digital Research Confidential will be an essential resource for scholars in every field.ContributorsMegan Sapnar Ankerson, danah boyd, Amy Bruckman, Casey Fiesler, Brooke Foucault Welles, Darren Gergle, Eric Gilbert, Eszter Hargittai, Brent Hecht, Aron Hsiao, Karrie Karahalios, Paul Leonardi, Kurt Luther, Virag Molnar, Christian Sandvig, Aaron Shaw, Michelle Shumate, Matthew Weber

On assiste actuellement à la multiplication des données numériques provenant de diverses sources : les administrations mettent en ligne leurs données de fonctionnement dans le cadre de démarches open data, les entreprises ouvrent certaines de leurs données non stratégiques, le monde scientifique utilise des données hétérogènes et de grande taille, et les internautes produisent des données à travers leurs activités quotidiennes sur le web. Loin d’être simplement mises en ligne, ces données sont « mises à disposition » des utilisateurs en vue de créer de nouveaux services et d’améliorer la connaissance des pratiques sociales. Comme le montre les discours d’accompagnement produits par les différents acteurs, les espoirs placés dans les données numériques sont nombreux et les transformations annoncées sont bien souvent présentées comme inéluctable et par défaut source de progrès. Loin de considérer cet « impératif d’ouverture » comme immuable, l’ambition du présent ouvrage est d’interroger de manière critique les multiples processus sociotechniques au sein desquels les données s’insèrent, de leur production à leur usage. Cette démarche propose d’ouvrir des pistes de réflexions pour mieux appréhender les évolutions de notre environnement numérique.
