Hi Stephen (and others!), I’m not sure what sort of methods you are looking for (i.e., what the purpose of those methods would need to be), but you may find our recent paper interesting. In it, we discuss how we developed a new, reliable way of assessing social media (and smartphone) use (as well as its qualitative aspects).

Hi Stephen, It's a very high-level view, and it's aimed at educational technology research, but here's a pre-print of a chapter my colleagues and I recently finished that describes social media research in terms of "six broad, interconnected steps" and highlights considerations researchers need to make during each step: http://www.researchmerge.com/uploads/7/5/3/5/75356681/chapter_5_research_met... I'm also a big fan of the SAGE Handbook of Social Media Research Methods.

Hi Stephen. That’s a really broad question. Do you have a platform type and whether you are hoping to receive quant, qual, or mixed methods? Best wishes, Alicia
