Held at Web Science Conference 2015 (#websci15)
June 29, 2015
Oxford, UK
THEME: Things that didn't work out in social media research
- and what we can learn from them
Have you ever tried approaches in social media research that
did not quite work out? Now is the time to share these experiences!
We would like everyone to submit their individual stories of "failed" research approaches in the field of studying social media and social media users. We are looking for examples from all phases of the research process (e.g. data collection, data processing, data analysis, data sharing, also including administrative tasks, research ethics and legal challenges) that did not work out as expected.
Presented case studies should help other researchers in the field to advance research methodology by identifying unsuccessful approaches and to inspire discussions on alternative solutions.
