Lois Ann Scheidt Doctoral Student Terms of Service Agreements and Research Design
In what ways do the Term of Service (ToS) Agreements of social utility sites impact on research design?
Disclaimer This work is in a very preliminary phase. While I may be interpreting the legal language of Term of Service Agreements, I am not a lawyer.
Conflicting responses to academic involvement
To date, ToS’ for social utility sites, as they apply to research design, have not been tested in court.
Social Utility Sites
Issues of Concern Who has access and to what do they gain access? How must data be collected, or not collected, within the site? How must data be presented, or not presented, in publication? What are acceptable venues for publication?
You can always ask…and what should ask before you begin your research project. ,[object Object]
permission to conduct research within the social utilities domain?
exemption from any Term that will make your initial research design problematic?Notification only?
Always have a back-up plan.  Maybe even more than one.
