The Surfgram As A Graphical Representation Of Surfing Paths On The Internet

Abstract

The following instrument for the analysis and presentation of surfing paths on the internet, which are carried out by its users, cannot and should not be regarded as a technically complex and "objective" data-providing methodological instrument. Rather, it is a method for making forms of action on the internet visible in a structuring and tangible way in the field of qualitative (internet) research and in this way making them evaluable. This form of evaluation goes beyond the mere interpretation of the transcript texts of interviews, but should be triangulated with them.
