Mandie said - "For example can JISC discussions be used as a measure of
midwifery discourse?"
This is an area that I currently seeking guidance from my ethics
committee about and would be interested to get feedback from the group.
I am doing my PhD on intermittent auscultation and over the years (mid
2007, 2009 and again this year) have triggered a couple of threads
around this issue and fetal monitoring in general. There has been a
significant amount of debate all of which is amazingly interesting in
terms of getting a wide range of opninions from midwives and researchers
around the world - almost like an eDelphi in a lot of ways.
When posting on the JISCMAIL lists I have been clear about my PhD
candidacy status and the questions I am asking in that context. I email
the list moderator a while back to seek clarification regarding the
ability to use the material from the discussions and was told it was in
the public domain and could be referenced as personal communication - I
am not sure about this without going back to the individual who make the
comment - so any further advice on this is of value
