Summary:

When we reflect about gaining access to research participants in online environments, overarching questions soon arise: Who is involved in creating research? What role do participants play and how do we even identify them online? How are technologies part of gaining access and generating knowledge? In answering these questions, this guide places particular emphasis on the phase of access in our online research.

More specifically, the guide develops the argument that access is not just a methodical choice taken by the researcher, but participants, their mediated rites and rituals, their trust in technologies, and the online tools themselves are part of creating access and research outcomes. The How-to Guide will take the reader through these aspects step-by-step; it explains the notion of.
