Online community discourse on spinal cord injury research

The SCI community is actively using the social media platform Reddit to seek information about research and its ethical dimensions. Across users, a significant proportion of comments are on research progress, ethics and study information. The largest proportion of ethics-focused comments by self-identifiers are on agency, and then equally on access, values, and resilience; ethics-related comments by non-self-identifiers focus on access, and beneficence.

Abstract

The SCI community is actively using the social media platform Reddit to seek information about research and its ethical dimensions. Across users, a significant proportion of comments are on research progress, ethics and study information. The largest proportion of ethics-focused comments by self-identifiers are on agency, and then equally on access, values, and resilience; ethics-related comments by non-self-identifiers focus on access, and beneficence.
