[Robert Ackland]

Hello,

Please consider submitting a paper to the following session at the 
RC33 International Conference on Social Science Methodology (Sydney 9 
- 13 July, 2012).  The conference website is:

=====
Social Media Network Analysis

This session is focused on innovative approaches for collecting and 
analysing social media network data in the context of social science 
research. Relevant data sources include digital trace data from 
newsgroups, WWW hyperlink networks, virtual worlds, social network 
sites (e.g. Facebook), blogs and micro-blogs (e.g. Twitter). While all 
papers focused on innovative research methods for born-digital social 
data are welcome, preference will be given to those involving 
statistical social network analysis techniques. We are also interested 
in papers focusing on computational social science and the challenges 
(and opportunities) for social scientists in an era of abundance of 
large-scale social media data sets.
=====

Regards,
Rob
