At the moment, this page is WiP and only relevant to automated measurements. Maybe we have to create the same page for manual studies (I am not covering them at the wiki at all now). The plan is that each point links to some page.

Note that some aspects can repeat in multiple steps of the research journey

• Pilot study and topic exploration
  • Manual exploration (existing inspection tools)
• Development
  • Crawling technologies
  • Interacting with websites
  • Data collection for privacy and security tasks
  • Multilingual support
  • Supporting specific platforms (Facebook, TikTok, Amazon, etc.)
• Execution of experiment, deployment
  • Website selection
  • Crawling location (VPNs, proxies)
  • Crawling using archival data
• Processing results
  • Classification of privacy and security issues
  • Website classification
  • Statistics
• Submission
  • Conferences
  • Writing tips
  • Artifacts
• After publication
  • Disclosure (notifying websites)
  • Working with regulatory authorities
  • Public relations
