- Summary:
- Projects analysing social media texts need a method to identify a relevant sample to analyse. A hashtag campaign project, for example, might analyse all tweets containing the hashtag in question (e.g., #TransLivesMatter), and an investigation of a group of people/organisations might investigate all posts from or to them (e.g., all Nigerian politicians’ tweets). In contrast, many projects investigate a topic on social media and need to devise a method to identify relevant posts. This How-to Guide illustrates the issues involved with identifying topic-relevant posts through five case studies on Twitter and YouTube, contrasting how each one identified relevant texts to analyse. Two key goals are.
