Abstract
The fast changing field of social media (SM) research presents unique challenges for research ethics committees (RECs). This article examines notions of experience and expertise in the context of REC members reviewing proposals for SM research and considers the role of the RECs in this area of review. We analyze 19 interviews with REC members to highlight that a lack of personal and professional experience of SM, compounded by a lack of institutional and professional guidelines, mean many REC members feel they do not possess sufficient expertise to review SM research. This view was supported by 14 interviews with SM researchers. REC members drew on strategies to overcome their lack of experience, although most SM researchers still found this problematic, to varying degrees. We recommend several steps to ensure REC expertise in SM research keeps pace of this fast-developing field, taking a pro-active, dialogic approach.
摘要
社交媒体（SM）研究领域的快速变化给研究伦理委员会（REC）带来了独特的挑战。本文探讨了 REC 成员审查 SM 研究提案时的经验和专业知识观念，并考虑了 REC 在这一审查领域的作用。我们分析了 19 名 REC 成员的访谈，以强调缺乏个人和专业的 SM 经验，再加上缺乏机构和专业准则，这意味着许多 REC 成员认为他们没有足够的专业知识来审查 SM 研究。这一观点得到了 14 名 SM 研究人员的访谈的支持。REC 成员采取了一些策略来克服他们经验不足的问题，尽管大多数 SM 研究人员仍然认为这在不同程度上存在问题。我们建议采取积极主动、对话的方法，采取若干步骤来确保 REC 在 SM 研究方面的专业知识与这一快速发展的领域保持同步。
