Abstract
We are delighted to invite you to the launch of the book ”Digital Witness”, edited by A. Koenig, S. Dubberley and D. Murray, including a chapter on ’Open Source Investigations and the Technology-Driven Knowledge Controversy in Human Rights Fact-Finding’ written by CGHR ’s Co-Director, Dr Ella McPherson together with Matt Mahmoudi and Isabel Guenette Thornton.
This book is the first to cover the history, ethics, methods, and best-practice associated with open source research.
