Learning more about social media analytics
Hello, I’m interested in learning more about social media analytics. I’ve already taken the excellent introduction by Jean Burgess and Alex Burns through the FutureLearn site where they focus on data collection and analysis via TAGS, Tableau and Gephi. Is anyone aware of other introductory materials that are similar or build on that course? Books, MOOCs, videos, etc. are all appreciated. Thanks, Luis - - - - - Dr. Luis E.

I can recommend the open source and free SocialMediaLab R package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SocialMediaLab/index.html) which was created at the VOSON Lab (ANU) by Tim Graham and myself, with contributions by Chung-hong Chan (MZES, University of Mannheim). SocialMediaLab aims to be a "Swiss army knife" for collecting network and text data via public APIs for Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The version on CRAN (0.23.2) will collect comment text from Facebook pages, but to get the text of the Facebook posts themselves you will need to install version 0.23.3 which is hosted on github: https://github.com/vosonlab/SocialMediaLab You can find more information about SocialMediaLab here: http://vosonlab.net/SocialMediaLab Tutorial materials are here: http://vosonlab.net/SocialMediaLab I am running a "Big Data Analysis for Social Scientists" training course at the University of Melbourne 29 Jan - 2 Feb, where there will be a focus on R (SocialMediaLab for data collection, igraph for network analysis and other R packages for text analysis) and other tools (Gephi network visualisation, VOSON for hyperlink network collection).

Hi, I have the same concern. After the great introduction by Jean Burgess and Alex Bruns through the MOOC that I really appreciated, I need to know more about social media analytics and digital methods. Is it possible for AIR to fill this gap in addition to the materials suggested ? Thank Le sam. 6 janv. 2018 à 18:01, Luis Hestres <Luis.Hestres@utsa.edu> a écrit :
