I am trying to read this inquiry as an open-ended research question, but for me, it has come across as a "lazy" approach to research. The easy answer was to simply delete it and move on. 

But I wanted to explain here that I would be much more inclined to help a researcher who has stated, "my interest in Social Networking and Youth has shown significant work by authors (or institutes) X, Y and Z. I am asking the list are there any further "must read" studies?"

I am NOT trying to shut down early career researchers but only to suggest that a minor re-phrasing of the inquiry and an attempt to show where the researcher has already been becomes much more attractive for the responders to offer further direction . . . 

I welcome debate on this but if it's war, please flame me offlist . . .

Cheers, Denise
