| Summary: | Frequently used in qualitative research, the term "reflexivity" encourages scholars to constantly reflect upon their own positionality as they enter and exit "the field," broadly defined. However, data collection and analysis involving online sites of study offer unique challenges for researchers, in not only identifying themselves as researchers but reflecting upon their experiences both online and AFK (away from keyboard) as they design web-based surveys, conduct depth interviews, or analyze large datasets. This How-to Guide defines the term reflexivity, introduces several key texts highlighting the opportunities and challenges of conducting online research, and offers anecdotes involving recruiting and engaging with participants across online platforms. |
