Methodology of sociological research
Abstract (en)
Research conducted through the Internet is becoming
increasingly important in contemporary society which is marked by
accelerated scientific, technological and information development. The
methodology of Internet research is the subject of consideration of
numerous scientific papers, but it is necessary to examine the extent to
which the recommendations of methodologists are applied in practice.
This study analyzes the methodology of quantitative research
conducted through the Internet, in leading world and Serbian
sociological journals. We start from a theoretical framework that points
to the distinction between the virtual, online sphere and offline society,
or the view of the Internet as a cultural context and artifact, but
emphasizing the connection and intertwining of these spheres, in a new,
digital context. Relevant theories for conceptualizing the digital
context of research and key concepts of digital and virtual society,
cyberspace, digital and virtual culture, virtual communities, computermediated
communications and social networks are presented. In
accordance with the stated theoretical framework, we define the
elements that should be included in research through the Internet:
digital contextualization, positioning of researchers in relation to the
connection between online and offline spheres and the reason for
choosing Internet technology, ie advantages and disadvantages. In
addition to the elements above, the satisfaction of the criteria of
traditional methods for the application of quantitative techniques and
research, as well as specific criteria for the application of digital
methods, which appear in the methodological literature, was examined.
146 papers published from 2005 to the time of data collection
(beginning of 2019) were analyzed. In particular, the differences in
relation to the applied technique and the field of research were
examined and different trends in the analyzed world and Serbian
sociological journals were pointed out. As leading journals of high
quality, the papers mostly meet the criteria of traditional research, but
the application of recommendations specified in the methodological
literature has been rarely reported. The criteria we emphasize in this
paper, concerning the digital contextualization of the subject and the
rationale for the choice of online research are also low, and represented
in less than a third of the sample. Although the methodological
literature predicts the revolutionary influence of the Internet on the
methodology of the social sciences, the general conclusion is that
research in sociology is currently in the phase of adapting traditional
methods to the digital sphere. However, we consider this finding
satisfactory, given the complexity of the application of research in the
new digital and virtual context. Further development of research of this
type should be accompanied by a synthesis of methodological
recommendations and practical problems and ways to solve them that
occur in practice. The aim of this paper is precisely one type of this
synthesis of theoretical recommendations and the practical state of this
type of research in sociology. Finally, practical recommendations are
given for conducting research through the Internet in sociology and
related disciplines.
