Abstract
In the 1990s, the term 'online' research emerged as a new and vibrant suite of methods, focused on exploitation of sources not collected by traditional social science methods. Today, at least one part of the research life cycle is likely to be carried out 'online,' from data collection through to publishing. In this article, we seek to understand emergent modes of doing and reporting qualitative research 'online.' With a greater freedom now to term oneself a 'researcher,' what opportunities and problems do working with online data sources bring? We explore implications of emerging requirements to submit supporting data for social science journal articles and question whether these demands might disrupt the very nature of and identity of qualitative research. Finally, we examine more recent forms of publishing and communicating research that support outputs where data play an integral role in elucidating context and enhancing the reading experience.
