Summary/Abstract: Our purpose is to overview some quantitative and qualitative methodologies of Internet research, such as: 1. Social Network Analysis, conceiving the Internet as a socio-technical medium, in which social networks are co-evolving and interfering with computer networks. 2. Ethnography, including various methodologies for the collection of rich, descriptive and contextually situated data and the analysis of the embedded practices. 3. Chaotic time-series analysis determining whether Internet traffic data (e.g. congestions) possess certain regularities, as if a deterministic process produced them, or they are random and non-deterministic.
