Collect Primary Data (Ethically) – If you are conducting original research, ensure you follow IRB/ethical guidelines, especially when interviewing survivors.

Map the Ecosystem – Create a flow diagram that shows how a victim’s image can move from a “private‑show” site to secondary distribution platforms (e.g., file‑sharing sites, porn‑aggregators). The Liu & McGowan (2023) article offers a useful template.

Citation Management – Use a reference manager (Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote) to keep track of the sources above; they all export in RIS/ BibTeX format.
