As part of my PhD, I did a lot of research based on data collected from both Weibo and Twitter. Finding few existing, functional tools, I wrote custom python codes to download and process various sorts of data from both Twitter and Weibo, including a code to tokenize weibo posts. Seeing this thread brings up an issue I have been thinking about in terms of how the community of Internet researchers work with code. Other academics I know who work in sciences share all their codes online (git hub etc.), have a practice of working together to debug this code and receive academic credit when their codes are used by others. I’ve seen very little of this in social science research. Are there any Internet researchers who share code they have created who could advise as to what their practices are in this regard? Is there any sort of standard among Internet researchers (and should there be) in terms of sharing code created for academic purposes with other academics?

Hello clever AOIR folks
Asking for postgrad students: any recommendations of social media data mining tools that work on Chinese social media platforms / with Chinese languages?
Thanks!
