Reconsidering the Value of Covert Research
Reconsidering the Value of Covert Research is a scholarly work by David James Gill, published in 2017 in ''Organizational Research Methods''. The main subjects of the publication include qualitative research, value, social psychology, perspective, harm, institutional theory, psychology, participant observation, computer science, and covertness. The authors posit that all observational studies sit along a continuum of consent, with few research projects being either fully overt or fully covert due to practical constraints and the ambiguous nature of consent itself.
