Social responsibility and integrity are essential dimensions of the quality of scientific research. Starting from a general introduction aimed to specify the meaning of the two concepts, theoretically contiguous and closely related, the paper seeks to circumscribe their implications for scientific research in the web society by highlighting the critical issues that can potentially impair their heuristic and epistemological value.

Keywords: Social responsibility; contextual integrity; anonymity; privacy; virtual communities; research ethics
