Project-oriented web scraping in technical communication research
Keyword(s):
This article advocates for web-scraping as an effective method to augment and enhance technical and professional communication (TPC) research practices. Web scraping is used to create consistently structured and well-sampled datasets about domains, communities, demographics, and topics of interest to TPC scholars. After an extended description of web scraping, we identify technical considerations of the method as well as provide practitioner narratives. We then describe an overview of project-oriented web scraping, and we discuss implications for the concept as a sustainable approach to developing web-scraping methods for TPC research.
