 From geography, a different discipline but with similar difficulties in 
delimiting its reach, I learned: "Geography is what a geographer does". 

I think the question of what Internet research is is relevant when it 
comes to budget,personnel, power struggles at universities, where you 
can apply for a grant, etc.

Dr. Frank Thomas
I have a doctorat in sciences as I did my 
historical-sociological-technological thesis in a social science 
institute and was as examined in a science faculty. Is this important 
for the quality of what I write? I hope, no.
