Resources for Developing Cyberethnographic Ethical Guidelines with Your IRB

The Knowledge Exchange section of this month’s Anthropology News features the article “Ethical Considerations for Digital Fieldwork: Cyberethnography and IRBs” by Faith Warner (page 27). The author also contributed a list of online resources useful for moving digital research proposals through the IRB process. This may be of particular interest to anthropologists whose universities or other institutions do not yet have established guidelines for managing online research.

Faith Warner is an associate professor of anthropology at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania and long-standing member of her university IRB committee.
