Workshop on Using NodeXL to Develop a Research Paper

We are Social Media Researchers who want to create tools, generate and host data, and support scholarship related to social media.Social media is the term for all the ways people connect to people through computation. Mobile devices, social networks, micro-blogging and location sharing are just a few of the ways people engage in computer-mediated collective action.Mapping, measuring and understanding the landscape of social media is our mission. We support tool projects that enable the collection, analysis and visualization of social media data. We host data sets that are relevant to social media research. And we will support graduate students studying and building research related to social media.Today, our primary project is NodeXL, the free and open network overview discovery and exploration add-in for Excel 2007 (and 2010, 2013, 2019) that extends the familiar spreadsheet so that it can collect, analyze and visualize complex social networks.We plan to take on additional projects that improve the variety and quality of data available to the NodeXL social network analysis platform (among others that consume the open GraphML format).The Social Media Research Foundation is a group of researchers and practitioners working to create tools, generate and host data, and support scholarship related to social media.

Let's work together and develop a research output in one intensive day!

<h2>This event will use NodeXL Pro and cloud-based team working for the development of an academic research output. Learn by doing. </h2><h3>About this Event</h3>*This event is capped with only a limited amount of discounted academic and student tickets...act to secure your ticket*NodeXL provides easy access to social media network data streams, advanced network metrics, text and sentiment analysis, and powerful report generation with just a few clicks.This session will be led by Dr. Marc Smith from the Social Media Research Foundation with guest speakers who will demonstrate network methods for research insights.The event will be delivered online via Zoom. You will receive a meeting link 7-days before the workshop. Organized by the Social Media Research Foundation.* Prerequisite: We strongly recommend attending our Intro to NodeXL Event and/or our Summer or Winter School before attending this event* By attending, you'll gain a digital certificate and a 1 month trial access to NodeXL. Contact:info@smrfoundation.org----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The need to gain insights into social media has grown in importance with the increasing popularity of social networking websites in particular (e.g. Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram etc.) and social computing in general. As people increasingly participate in online communities for social, commercial, and civic interaction, new methods are needed to study these phenomena.The event will focus on providing an overview of NodeXL and Social Network Analysis and will guide delegates on all the steps required to be able to use the tool to download and analyze social media data. On completion, delegates will be emailed a certificate of attendance (PDF) and the skills that have been gained.<h3>Learning Outcomes:</h3>•Learn the required theories and concepts of writing a paper using NodeXL•Learn how to prepare your research idea for publication •Learn the basics of using NodeXL Pro for academic research •Learn how to do automated analysis in NodeXL Pro for research •Learn to identify key people and groups on social networks for academic research •Learn how to run content analysis to create a vector of words, hashtags and URLs for each users, group, and population for academic research •To know the best practices on customizing network analysis to adapt to different data sources for different publication outputs<h3>Who will benefit from this course?</h3>This event will benefit a wide range of people including, but not limited to:*Academics/ Researchers*Masters and PhD students*Research Support Staff and Managers*Library and Information Professional<h3>COURSE OUTLINE</h3>This event will be structured as an collaborative participate event that may involve: *Brainstorming 'hot' research topics*Collecting data in real-time* Using cloud-based technologies such as Google Docs to develop literature reviews * To discuss best practices for research paper writing *To practice legal and ethical ways to harvest data for academic research.
