The internet environment provides extraordinary research potential. To exploit it fully, it is important to be conscious of its constraints as well as the possibilities offered by employing various research methods. This idea inspired the authors of Methods and Techniques of Cyberspace Research. Theory and Practice, which was conceived as a means to unite a theoretical characterization of ways to perform research with a practical illustration of each of them.

This volume contains a description and codication of methods/techniques of cyberspace research. We have not created new ones, but have instead adapted existing research procedures. Every author worked on one research strategy by adapting a method/technique as was required by cyberspace research while also introducing some innovative solutions.

This book is a result of the work done by a team of researchers consisting of academic teachers (mainly methodology teachers) as well as humanities students interested in methodological problems. This is an academic debut for some of them, so their conscientiousness in the pursuit of their topics deserves high acclaim.

This volume is meant for students interested in conducting internet research and academic teachers of such subjects as methods and techniques of social research and methodology of research. It may also be of interest to non-academics, for it refers to versatile and fascinating problems of people's functioning in cyberspace.
