From the reviews:“The author … uses this book to examine ‘some of the challenges that researchers may face when researching online activity and the ways that existing guidance on research ethics can inform our responses to these’. … She puts her case clearly and objectively, and places before her readers a set of arguments that enlighten and challenge. … I would urge all social scientists to read what Dr Whiteman has to say about the ethics of research practice – it would be time well spent.” (Maryam Nazari and G. E. Gorman, Online Information Review OIR, Vol. 36 (5), 2012)
