Instead of Python you could also use Rfacebook ( https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rfacebook/index.html) within R. R also has packages for other social media and of course all sorts of (statistical) analyses. R has a steep learning curve, but once you've mastered it you can use it for all types of research, not only for analysis but also for data collection through API's or web scraping (see https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/WebTechnologies.html) Hope this helps On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 3:51 PM, mona arslan <mona_arslan(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > I would be very happy to talk to anyone who has managed to capture content > from facebook page for NVIVO.

NEW BOOK: Can the Internet Strengthen Democracy?
by Heather Ford 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

Very exciting new book by Stephen Coleman just out… NEW BOOK: Can the Internet Strengthen Democracy? by Stephen Coleman, Professor of Political Communication, University of Leeds - Polity Press; paperback, £9.99 From its inception as a public communication network, the Internet was regarded by many people as a potential means of escaping from the stranglehold of top–down, stage–managed politics. If hundreds of millions of people could be the producers as well as receivers of political messages, could that invigorate democracy? If political elites fail to respond to such energy, where will it leave them? In this short book, internationally renowned scholar of political communication, Stephen Coleman, argues that the best way to strengthen democracy is to re–invent it for the twenty–first century. Governments and global institutions have failed to seize the opportunity to democratise their ways of operating, but online citizens are ahead of them, developing practices that could revolutionise the exercise of political power. "This is a really outstanding book; Coleman’s ideas, as always, are compelling and clear, and presented in a way that grips the reader. This will be the most authoritative and up–to–date text on the topic." Peter Dahlgren, Lund University "Democracy is old and it is about compromise, not about getting one′s way. Technologies are new, and they attain popularity as they promise ultimate, personalized experiences. Rather than being put to use to reinvent democracy, much new technology has been retrofitted to serve dated civic practices. Coleman′s Can the Internet Strengthen Democracy? brilliantly recognizes this and asks why a new democratic future has not been presented for citizens yet. This books helps us imagine what the future might look like if technology were used to turn the flaws of democracy into strengths and produce a democratic system of governance built for the future. It is bold, it is engaging, and it is like nothing you have read before." Zizi Papacharissi, University of Illinois, Chicago "Since the early days of the web Stephen Coleman has been at the forefront of research into Internet and democracy, and has had a steady hand in pinpointing the difference between promotional rhetoric and experiments that yield dividends. His latest edition is no exception." Richard Rogers, University of Amsterdam http://www.polity.co.uk/book.asp?ref=9781509508365 Dr Heather Ford University of Leeds, School of Media and Communication www.hblog.org<http://www.hblog.org> @hfordsa

Are Twitter Handles identifiable information? (eProtocol section 13)
by Ye Na Lee 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

Dear member of AoIR I am currently going through IRB process (non-exempt) for my research which involves analyzing tweets containing certain hashtags. In my opinion, Twitter handles do not constitute as identifiable participant information. However, I got a response from IRB, saying: "Twitter handles may or may not be identifiable, depending on the user. In some cases they are not identifiable, in many other cases they are identifiable (i.e., twitter users' identities are known). Names and emails are not the only variable that are considered "identifiable." Any information that can lead to identification of an individual is considered "identifiable." (See FAQ for further information: http://cphs.berkeley.edu/faqs.html#e1) Please revise section 13a to account for this. Ensure that corresponding updates are also integrated into pertinent sections/documents." Which means I need to remove identifiers, Twitter handles in this case from tweets as soon as I collect them like item 13d says. "Identifiers should be removed from data/specimens as soon as possible following collection, except in cases where the identifiers are embedded (e.g., voices in audio or faces in video recordings). If data are coded in order to retain a link between the data and identifiable information, explain where the key to the code will be stored, how it will be protected, who will have access to it, and when it will be destroyed." This will be very cumbersome for me because my research is not quantitative and does not involve collecting massive amounts of tweets at once using Twitter API. It is a qualitative research using virtual ethnography to explore and understand the conversation around a certain hashtag movement, which means I will need to constantly go back to certain Twitter accounts and use snowball sampling to collect tweets like searching who they are following and looking into these accounts as well. (I plan to use NVivo 10 to collect and code tweets) I assume IRB is taking more precaution about the security issues because my research involves the risk of cyberbullying. I understand the risk and will completely anonymize Twitter handles on my paper. However, I honestly do not see the need to separate/remove identifiers in the process of collection. I`d really appreciate if anyone who`s done a similar research as mine could tell me about their experiences with the IRB process. Thank you in advance.

New book: Wikipedia, Work and Capitalism
by Arwid Lund 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hi! This could be of interest to some of you. My book Wikipedia, Work and Capitalism (Palgrave Macmillan) has finally been published online (the hardcover will be out within weeks). It situates Wikipedia and peer production within a Marxist perspective on cognitive capitalism, and uses ideology analysis to study the Wikipedians' perceptions of their own activities as well as their understanding of the project's relation to capitalism. If it sounds interesting you can have a look here: http://www.springer.com/gb/book/9783319506890?wt_mc=ThirdParty.SpringerLink… All the best, Arwid Lund Arwid Lund PhD in Information Studies Department of ALM, Uppsala University Email: arwid.lund(a)abm.uu.se

2017 Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture Features Larry Smarr
by Sarina Chen 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

The 2017 Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture will feature Larry Smarr, Director of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), at UC San Diego. Smarr, a physicist and leader in scientific computing, supercomputer applications, and Internet infrastructure, will address, “Building the Pacific Research Platform: Supernetworks for Big Data Science.” Smarr’s lecture will be presented during the 2017 annul conference of International Communication Association (ICA), on Friday, May 26, 11:00 – 12:15 pm in Hilton San Diego Bayfront, 3, Aqua 313. In the lecture, Smarr will discuss the exponential rise of Big Data which is demanding new technological solutions in visualization, machine learning, and high performance cyberinfrastructure. Smarr believes that the rise of artificial intelligence will both be powered by these developments and be essential for deriving understanding from the tsunami of data. Smarr will illustrate how NSF-funded Pacific Research Platform, which provides an Internet platform with 100-1000 times the bandwidth of today's commodity Internet to all the research universities on the West Coast, is being designed from the application needs of researchers from particle physics to climate to human health. Even fields like archaeology, digital libraries, and social media analysis are engaged. Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research (CCCSIR, www.cccsir.com) established Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture Series in 2003 to bring leading Internet researchers to annual ICA conventions to promote the development and interest of Internet research. With the interdisciplinary nature of Internet research, the lecture series would like to bring researchers from various disciplines as well as industry leaders to establish dialogues with communication researchers about topics and issues of Internet research. The theme of Steve Jones Lecture Series is " The Internet as Culture.” This event is co-sponsored by University of Illinois, Chicago, and the International Communication Association. For more information about this event, please contact Shing-Ling Sarina Chen, sarina.chen(a)uni.edu.
