- Summary:
- One of the most difficult places to conduct digital research is social media platforms. This is largely due to constant innovation through the addition of new features and algorithms that shape the way researchers collect data. Therefore, this case teaches readers how to make methodological choices when using posts and comments as the population for their research, especially in information pollution–focused studies. For instance, like the human population in survey research, readers will learn the behavioral patterns of posts and comments, shifting from what they represent to what can be learned from them. Understanding this relies on the principles and practices of collecting posts and comments, which are presented as varieties of big data for digital research.
