Exercise 4
Search the Internet for information and discussion posts on a current topic (e.g., electric mobility, migration policy, etc.).
- Keep a research journal documenting why you chose specific criteria and search terms, how (technical method) you selected, stored, or discarded process-induced data.
- Take note of any difficulties you encountered when saving the data.
Proposed Solution
There is no solution for this task. It is merely intended to give you a sense of how time-consuming a systematic and precisely documented internet research can be and what difficulties may arise when storing digital data. By accurately documenting your steps in the research process, you can not only later reflect on your approach and selection decisions but also make them transparent, i.e., intersubjectively comprehensible.
