[Air-L] Announcing Special issue: Internet Research Ethics in the Platform Society

[Locatelli Elisabetta (elisabetta.locatelli)]

Dear all,

apologies for cross-posting.
We are really pleased to announce the publication of the openly access special issue *Internet Research Ethics in the Platform Society: Theoretical Reflections, Research Experiences, and Open Questions* of the journal *Comunicazioni Sociali. Journal of Media, Performing Arts and Cultural Studies*

The full articles are available in gold open access at the following link: https://comunicazionisociali.vitaepensiero.it/scheda-fascicolo_contenitore_digital/charles-m-ess-elisabetta-locatelli-aline-shakti-franzke/comunicazioni-sociali-2023-2-internet-research-ethics-in-the-platform-society-theoretical-reflections-research-experiences-and-open-questions-001200_2023_0002-395669.html

The special issue (see the table of contents below) offers an insightful journey into some of the most relevant issues of internet and social media research ethics, such as privacy, informed consent, harm minimization - for both informants and researchers -, contextual integrity, applied to challenging situations, like small data, Instagram live, antagonistic social media groups. The special issue sheds also light on the importance of considering the contextual situation of the research and the awareness of researchers about ethics comparing the perspective of different countries.

We hope that the special issue can be useful for researchers but also for students and doctoral candidates.

Kind regards

Elisabetta Locatelli, aline franzke shakti, Charles M. Ess,
