Hi Marianne, hopefully everything you need to know about our Research Ethics are listed right here, along with contact info. And don't forget to point out that Blue made the best hat in all of SL!


While I obviously cannot give many details to protect my own work, I am not so much concerned about research issues: this will not be a research based work. I'm more concerned about naming locales (sim names and/or locations within those sims), the use of the name "Second Life" within such a work, discussing specifics of game mechanics, and so on. I would not need to interview residents nor Linden Lab staff, or work on specific research goals. :-)

Hi Marianne - I am going to pass this on to Catherine Linden who may be able to let you know what works or how to best cite us. Sounds very exciting!
