The aim of this paper is to determine to what extent the use of Internet as a way of acquiring information for research purposes is a successful tool. The Internet can facilitate the research in different ways, some of which are being presented in the paper. Researchers have access to a wide range of databases available on the Internet, also having the opportunity to use sites designed as a social media for academics such as ResearchGate or Academia. Apart from that, there exists some degree of correspondence between open access philosophy and hacker ethics which is being related to academia to point to the possible ethic value researches have towards one another. The paper focuses on advantages of using Internet for the purposes of facilitating research, at the same time introducing the topic of collaboration and co-authorship as vital in today’s ‘publish-or-perish’ academia world.
