Welcome to the Social-Media-Observatory wiki!

This wiki is the central knowledge and documentation base of the SMO.

Please find the navigation menu on the right or below (depending on your window size/screen resolution).

Landing Page

If you want to share this project with others, we have a landing page. We are thinking about presenting iterative versions of this wiki in a more refined layout there, but to benefit from or contribute to the latest bleeding edge version of everything, stay awhile and listen.

Data Collection Tools and Tutorials

So far we already have some collections of handy data collection helpers under Data Collection Tools and some Tutorials how to use them.

Ethics / Legal

We are working on and invite contributions to the Ethics / Legal section, where we plan to collect advice on common issues when working with (social) media data.

Knowledge Base

Also, if you have basic, but crucial, social media knowledge to share (for example overall measurement baselines for certain platforms or demographics) or examples of instructive (un)successful case studies (not necessarily your own), feel free to create the first pages in the Knowledge Base section.

• Technical instructions: HowTos for technical setups
• Case Studies: Examples for data analytics in computational communication research
• Datasets: Useful public dataset
• Projects: A selection of current projects to be aware of

Here we curate a growing collection of useful datasets, self-collected or provided by other projects.

I want to contribute!

Yay! Here you will find instructions how to add or edit pages:
