I did this because my research objectives and research questions required it. I collected the data myself using the Collaborative Online Social Media Observatory (COSMOS)\u2014a platform that assists social scientists with the collection and analysis of Twitter data. There were multiple issues and challenges that I faced. These included storing the data (the files were large, so they had to be externally stored, saved, and analysed); analysing the data, which could be slow due to its size and the computational power required; and deciding on the key terms and hashtags to use in collecting the data.<\/p>\n

However, utilizing Twitter\u2019s naturally occurring data had two distinguishing features that highlighted its potential for the research while subverting traditional research methods. The first incorporated the concept of \u2018locomotion\u2019, while the other takes advantage of the type of users present on the Twitter platform. As Twitter is locomotive, it is constantly flowing. This gives rise to a mass of valuable unique real-world data that elicits interesting findings in an online setting.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, this data is from an abundance of users with unique voices, who partake in discussions and debate on a multitude of topics and respond to real-life events. It allows individuals (and corporations, charities, etc.) that are often hard to access through other methods to express themselves. Consequently, combining the methodological innovation of Twitter studies with the substantive area of the LGBT community had an incredible amount of potential for my dissertation.<\/p>\n

It enabled me to investigate how gender impacts within the virtual world on a historically marginalized population: LGBT individuals. Jodie I collected vast amounts of Twitter data. By using an API (Application Programming Interface) I could collect my data for free. This was a simple process of identifying the keywords that I wanted and asking the platform to do this. I used the Collaborative Online Social Media Observatory (COSMOS), which gave me plenty of data.<\/p>\n

Overall, it was a really good way to collect data and I got masses of quality data easily and cheaply. Most importantly, by collecting data in this way I could be sure that it was not subject to any researcher biases\u2014it was created completely independently and not influenced by anything that I had done.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of thousands of students across six continents have been fortunate enough to learn from Alan\u2019s publications. Few contemporary UK academics have had such a profound effect on learning. At Oxford University Press we are incredibly proud of Alan\u2019s significant achievements over the many years we worked with him. We thank him for everything he has done for research methods as a discipline, and for his tireless dedication to the pursuit of shining the light of understanding into the dark corners of students\u2019 minds.<\/p>\n

It was a real pleasure to work with him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
