What is e-research? I have been having a lot of trouble understanding the e-research component of this class mostly because I don't know what is meant by "e-research".

What is e-research?

As we touched on a tiny bit in class on Monday, I think of research as a process of using knowledge and resources in a way that generates new knowledge, furthering our understanding of a field and/or phenomena. In this context I would say that e-research involves the use and study of the internet as part of the generation of new knowledge of something offline. However, e-research could be research focused on the study of the internet to form new knowledge of something online. Scholars Portal Working Group Report May 2001. eResearch Australasia.
