IntroductionThe need for public research funding to be more accountable and demonstrate impact beyond typical academic outputs is increasing. This is particularly challenging and the science behind this form of research is in its infancy when applied to collaborative research funding such as that provided by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council to the Centre for Research Excellence in Digestive Health (CRE-DH).Methods and analysisIn this paper, we describe the protocol for applying the Framework to Assess the Impact from Translational health research to the CRE-DH. The study design involves a five-stage sequential mixed-method approach. In phase I, we developed an impact programme logic model to map the pathway to impact and establish key domains of benefit such as knowledge advancement, capacity building, clinical implementation, policy and legislation, community and economic impacts. In phase 2, we have identified and selected appropriate, measurable and timely impact indicators for each of these domains and established a data plan to capture the necessary data. Phase 3 will develop a model for cost–consequence analysis and identification of relevant data for microcosting and valuation of consequences. In phase 4, we will determine selected case studies to include in the narrative whereas phase 5 involves collation, data analysis and completion of the reporting of impact.We expect this impact evaluation to comprehensively describe the contribution of the CRE-DH for intentional activity over the CRE-DH lifespan and beyond to improve outcomes for people suffering with chronic and debilitating digestive disorders.Ethics and disseminationThis impact evaluation study has been registered with the Hunter New England Human Research Ethics Committee as project 2024/PID00336 and ethics application 2024/ETH00290. Results of this study will be disseminated via medical conferences, peer-reviewed publications, policy submissions, direct communication with relevant stakeholders, media and social media channels such as X (formely Twitter).

Purpose: Unlike how we previously knew it to be, the public sphere has evolved to include digital spaces, making them metamorphose into digital public spheres. These digital spaces are more open, accessible, and void of certain bottlenecks. It is, therefore, now impossible to describe a public sphere without mentioning digital spaces. As such, this study aims to find out the audience's perception of X (formerly Twitter) trends as a tool for the Nigerian public sphere. Materials and Methods: The survey research method was used to obtain responses from 200 respondents, using the purposive sampling technique of selecting only X (formerly Twitter) users. Findings: The findings reveal that most X (formerly Twitter) users often utilise X (formerly Twitter) trends to some extent; X (formerly Twitter) trends influence the content of some users but not the majority of them, even if the majority use the feature. In addition, X (formerly Twitter) Trends highlight significant content for X (formerly Twitter) users in Nigeria. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Some of the recommendations of the study include the following: the government should pay closer attention to relevant public conversations on the X (formerly Twitter) platform to understand people’s take on certain issues and how to help them better; they should also partner with relevant agencies to set up regular digital literacy campaigns to help the public effectively engage with social media content on X (formerly Twitter). Also, stakeholders like X (formerly Twitter) should ensure suitable systems are in place for accurate Trends metrics to avoid misleading users with the wrong Trends or content by some users. In addition, X (formerly Twitter) should develop campaigns and guides to help users better understand how to engage with the Trends feature on X (formerly Twitter).

In today's digital era, social media plays a pivotal role in shaping public sentiment, particularly in the financial domain. This study focuses on sentiment analysis of social media discussions, specifically tweets discussing Safaricom PLC on X (formerly Twitter), leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. By meticulously collecting, cleaning, and analyzing data, valuable insights into the sentiment landscape surrounding Safaricom PLC during a significant period were obtained. The sentiment analysis, conducted using the VADER lexicon, categorized sentiments into positive, negative, and neutral classes. Notably, the analysis revealed a predominant positive sentiment, indicative of an optimistic tone in discussions related to Safaricom PLC. This study highlights the potential of integrating sentiments and sentiment analysis techniques into stock price prediction models to facilitate informed investment decision-making.

This paper presents a study on the analysis of X (formerly Twitter) users’ perceptions towards the election of Jolidee Matongo as mayor of Johannesburg, South Africa in 2021. This election was significant because it was the first time that a person of Zimbabwean descent had been elected mayor of Johannesburg. Given the vast amount of user-generated content on Twitter, analysing tweets can serve as a valuable proxy for capturing public opinion. However, to date, there appears to be a notable research gap concerning the wide adoption of tweet analysis for understanding public opinion. The study used 4324 tweets that were collected from X (Twitter) via the Twitter application programming interface (API) over a period of one week after the election. Sentiment analysis and topic modelling were used to analyse the results. The results suggested that social media platforms can be used to gain valuable insights into public opinion and the different perspectives. Social media platforms can also be used to spread xenophobia. Cognitive biases, specifically the confirmation bias has been found to influence Twitter users’ perception towards the election of Matongo. A significant number of negative tweets expressed xenophobic views due to Matongo’s Zimbabwean roots. However, the average sentiment score of 0.10 suggested that the overall sentiment of the tweets was slightly positive.

Follow back accounts inflate their follower counts by engaging in reciprocal followings. Such accounts manipulate the public and the algorithms by appearing more popular than they really are. Despite their potential harm, no studies have analyzed such accounts at scale. In this study, we present the first large-scale analysis of follow back accounts. We formally define follow back accounts and employ a honeypot approach to collect a dataset of such accounts on X (formerly Twitter). We discover and describe 12 communities of follow back accounts from 12 different countries, some of which exhibit clear political agenda. We analyze the characteristics of follow back accounts and report that they are newer, more engaging, and have more followings and followers. Finally, we propose a classifier for such accounts and report that models employing profile metadata and the ego network have some success, although achieving high recall is challenging. Our study enhances understanding of the follow back accounts and discovering such accounts in the wild.

This study investigates the research questions: “How do political connections within Greece’s governing party evolve, and what underlying patterns and dynamics are revealed through a network analysis of interactions on X (formerly Twitter)?” To address these questions, data were collected from X, focusing on following, retweeting, and mentioning activities among the politicians within the governing party. The interactions were meticulously analysed using tools derived from Network Theory in mathematics, including in and out-strength centrality, hubs and authorities centralities, and in and out-vertex entropy. In line with the emerging field of data journalism, this approach enhances the rigour and depth of analysis, facilitating a more nuanced understanding of complex political landscapes. The findings reveal complex and dynamic structures that may reflect internal relationships, communication strategies, and the influence of recurring events on these connections within the party. This study thus provides novel insights into understanding political communication via social networks and demonstrates the applicative potential of Network Theory and data journalism techniques in social sciences.

This study delves into how people responded to Winter Storm Frankie in the United States based on X (formerly known as Twitter®) data according to a multitude of regions, periods, sociodemographic characteristics, census regions, and geographical scales. This study finds that people actively respond to natural disasters on X during the winter storm week. Specifically, the highest number of keywords during the winter storm week is 1.6 times greater than the second-highest number of keywords during the prewinter storm week. Second, the spatial distribution of tweets exhibits significant fluctuations across different periods. For instance, in the prewinter storm week, more tweets are posted in the West region, while in the winter storm week, the Northeast region experiences a higher volume of uploads. Third, regional variables exert a substantial influence on the number of tweets. For instance, Ohio and Montana demonstrate higher elasticity than Pennsylvania. Fourth, many sociodemographic variables, such as gender, age, education, and income, are associated with individual responses. For example, a 1 percent increase in males corresponds to a 0.01 percent increase in tweets.

La présente recherche développe, à travers la plateforme numérique COCKTAIL, une analyse de la circulation des discours sur X (ex-Twitter) afin de détecter les tendances et les signaux faibles. La thèse s'appuie sur une méthode pluridisciplinaire, utilisant des algorithmes, pour construire un corpus de tweets. Le but des analyses quantitatives et qualitatives est de savoir comment les signaux faibles peuvent être identifiés dans la circulation des discours sur X. D’un point de vue théorique, le travail repose sur la question de la construction du sens et de savoir comment les signaux faibles émergent et se transforment au fil des interactions sur un dispositif socionumérique. Cette perspective interroge les concepts d'espace public, de communautés, de traces numériques et d'analyse de discours. La thèse se nourrit d'un ensemble de connaissances scientifiques nationales et internationales pour discuter le rôle des signaux faibles dans les interactions des utilisateurs sur X en FranceThis research develops, through the digital platform COCKTAIL, a data analysis of the circulation of speeches on X (formerly Twitter) in order to detect trends and weak signals. The thesis is based on a multidisciplinary method using algorithms to build a corpus of tweets. The aim of the quantitative and qualitative analyses is to find out how weak signals can be identified in the circulation of speeches on X. From a theoretical point of view, the work is based on the question of the construction of meaning and how weak signals emerge and are transformed over the course of interactions on a socio-digital device. This perspective questions the concepts of public space, communities, digital traces and discourse analysis. The thesis draws on a body of national and international scientific knowledge to discuss the role of weak signals in user interactions on X in France

Loneliness can be studied through social media and web data to gain insights into the dynamic phenomenon. In this paper, we present our proposed framework through a case study on how to deploy various social media and online data sources to study loneliness comprehensively. The framework is important to understand loneliness from data perspective available online and to complement the theoretical and psychosocial understanding of loneliness. The data on loneliness is gathered through surveys and self-reporting mechanisms. This requires complementing the dynamic and vast data available on the web and through social media. Our results found that tools like Google Trend and News Analysis can give the starting point to explore loneliness in a particular region. Tools like X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and other social media can give behavioral data on loneliness which can be analyzed through sentiment analysis and other social intelligence analysis. The framework’s utility lies in its potential to inform policies, interventions, and initiatives addressing loneliness through data. However, it is crucial to acknowledge limitations, such as data availability, biases in user-generated content, and ethical considerations.

Abstract International organizations’ bureaucracies are important facilitators and authorities of global governance that increasingly use digital means of communication—such as websites, email, social media, or mobile apps—to address their audiences directly. How do they deal with the opportunities and challenges of such ‘digital diplomacy’? What are the consequences of digital diplomacy regarding the content communicated by international bureaucracies and beyond? This chapter attempts to demonstrate the significance of recent research for providing conclusive answers to these questions as well as to demonstrate the need for further exploration. It first illustrates the current practices of international bureaucracies’ digital diplomacy by focusing on social media such as X (formerly known as Twitter) and Facebook in a quantitative perspective, illustrated with recent examples of their use. Second it discusses motivational factors and conducive conditions that help to explain why international bureaucracies have turned to, and increasingly employ, means of digital diplomacy. While the first and second parts of the chapter focus mainly on the opportunities of digital diplomacy, the third part goes full circle by turning to a couple of its challenges—organized hypocrisy, pluralization, acceleration, selectivity, personalization, and polarization—of which little is yet known, but that deserve more attention by scholars, practitioners, and stakeholders of global governance alike.

Social media channels have become omnipresent tools for communicating, sharing knowledge, and establishing communities, but also places where all sorts of hate speech comes to the surface. This chapter contributes to the body of work on online hate speech towards sexual orientation minorities and takes some initial steps towards a quantitative variationist sociolinguistic study of homophobic language in Italian social media. By exploring the different lexicalisations (i.e. near-synonyms) available in Italian for expressing or referring to the concept of "homosexual man" on X (formerly known as Twitter), this study provides both a descriptive and a methodological contribution. For this purpose, we created a dataset of 3000 manually annotated tweets in which at least one of the 33 lexicalisations of the concept "homosexual man" was recorded, and which we annotated for linguistic and stylistic factors that favour the perception of an expression as offensive. Our study shows that the interaction of lexical variation and explicit and implicit contextual cues, such as irony and dialect use, is significant in determining the degree of offensiveness of tweets. Furthermore, this study provides further evidence in favour of using social media as a laboratory for mapping language variation on a large scale, and for reflecting on the refinement of semi-automatic annotation of linguistic, stylistic, and social variables in written social media language.

Abstract This chapter addresses the regulatory framework that governs unlawful online content, including harassment, racism, extremism, and other illegal online content, with a special focus on cyberviolence and online ‘hate speech’—including non-consensual nudity sharing (commonly referred to as revenge porn)—against women. In addition to independent efforts undertaken by Internet Service Providers to combat online criminality by means of self-imposed Community Guidelines or Terms of Use, regulations have been introduced in order to more effectively combat hate and incitement as well as extremism on the Internet. In this respect, this chapter provides an overview on international conventions and action plans, recommendations, resolutions, EU directives, guidelines, and regulations––particularly on the recent enactment of the EU’s Digital Service Act (DSA)––as well as on Germany’s Act to Improve Enforcement of the Law in Social Networks (Network Enforcement Act, NetzDG), as an example of a national regulatory model. NetzDG requires Internet Service Providers with more than two million registered users in Germany (e.g. those on the scale of Google, Facebook, YouTube, X (formerly, Twitter), and Instagram) to set up a transparent complaints management system as private actors in order to efficiently handle complaints about illegal content as defined in NetzDG. The Act imposes on Internet Service Providers the responsibility of balancing human rights and fundamental freedoms against each other, thereby changing the role of these private actors—against their will—and making them gatekeepers at the threshold of fundamental and human rights.

Spreading electoral propaganda using Online Social Networks (OSNs) during elections is an important problem and novel approaches are necessary to mitigate its effects. The lack of automatic electoral propaganda detection supports candidates which makes true digital podiums have emerged for candidates to spread their ideas, fight opponents, and ask for votes during the pre-electoral period. In Brazil, it is prohibited by law to declare candidacy in a political election and to make any (explicit or implicit) request to vote ahead of time. In this context, this work presents a system named Campanha Eleitoral Legal to help the detection of this type of propaganda on X (formerly Twitter) adopted by Ministério Público de Minas Gerais (MPMG). Our system is able to collect, categorize, and highlight posts that contain a high probability of being electoral propaganda. Thus, this system can be great tool for Brazilian authorities

We used Alexandria Digital, a world leading disinformation detection technology, to analyse almost a million posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) and Reddit comments during the first Republican primary debate and counterprogrammed Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump interview on the 23rd of August. What we did: • Collected 949,259 posts from the platform X, formerly known as Twitter. These posts were collected if they contained one of 11 relevant hashtags or keywords and were posted between 8:45pm and 11:15pm EST on 23rd August 2023. • Collected 20,549 comments from two separate Reddit threads. Both were discussion threads dedicated to the first Republican primary Debate and the Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump interview from r/Conservative and r/politics. • This methodology allowed us to capture narratives and conduct analysis of coordinated behaviour that occurred immediately before, during, and after the Republican primary debate and the airing of the Tucker Carlson interview of Donald Trump. What we found: • A coordinated network of over 1200 accounts promoting the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump won the 2020 United States presidential election that received over 3 million impressions on the platform X; • A sprawling bot network consisting of 1,305 unique accounts with a variety of clusters; • Some of the largest clusters were coordinated troll networks in support of Donald Trump; a coordinated network of misleading news outlets, and a clickbait Pro-Trump bot network. • No coordinated activity was found on Reddit during the Republican Primary Debate or in discussion of the Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump interview. What does this mean? • X is flooded with platform manipulation of various kinds, is not doing enough to moderate content, and has no clear strategy for dealing with political disinformation. • A haven for disinformation. While pre-Musk Twitter previously managed to moderate harmful conspiracy theories such as QAnon, X is now a safe space for conspiracy theorists and political disinformation. • That no evidence of coordinated influence activity was found on Reddit suggests the extensive rules and moderation either prevented or removed coordinated activity from the platform. • Worrying trends. Given the prevalence of mis- and disinformation during the debate and interview, the leadup to the US 2024 Presidential Election is likely to witness a surge of information disorder on the platform. • Trump is back. The reinstatement of Donald Trump’s X account has emboldened conspiracy theorists and the far right, who are interpreting this as a sign that the reason why Trump was suspended (incitement to violence) validates election fraud disinformation and activism. • Anything goes. The lack of a freely available Twitter Application Programming Interface (API) means that researchers, journalists, and regulators cannot monitor disinformation on X and hold the platform to account.
