ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book reflects on the decisions, approaches, and innovations that researchers have presented in this collection of digital research. It aims to deconstruct some of the emerging discourses with a view to reflecting on key research practices as well as the ontological, epistemological and ethical questions that underpin such methodological decisions and developments. The book takes the reader through the journey of conceptualising an 'app-based methodology to explore contextual effects on realtime cognitions, affect and behaviours'. It suggests that digital research needs to be considered more broadly but also more inclusively as part of research ethics discussions. The book reconceptualises and challenges the online/offline, digital/material, real/virtual binaries that often frame understandings of the digital world, using new materialist ideas that draw attention to the boundary-making practices of language.
