title = "Lurking as participation: A community perspective on lurkers' identity and negotiability",
abstract = "Lurking, a discursive phenomenon in online communities, is often underemphasized. We draw on Wenger's social theory of learning to explore particularly the characteristic of lurkers who are {"}online regularly{"} in order to scrutinize the active intentions of a group of seemingly passive participants. Using a mixture of methods, we identified 95 lurkers among 353 participants in a six-week inquiry learning community, and uncovered their process of negotiability and identification from a virtual ethnographic approach.",
