Abstract

Digital environments have become ideal spaces for researching forms of sociability, change and social action. However, the Internet is not only a research context, but also an object of study and a medium of research. In this editorial we set out some key questions for thinking about the digitzation of research methodology and discuss how digital technologies are shaping key sociological issues. Digital technologies offer the possibility of developing novel research techniques but also force us to rethink tools, practices and ways of disseminating research. Until now, female researchers have been torn between digital skepticism, weighed down by our lack of computer skills, and methodological enthusiasm, which embraces the digital age without criticism or qualms. In this text, we invite you to consider carefully the ontological, epistemological and methodological implications of all these changes in our research work.
