[Air-L] permissions for quoting tweets

Dear list members,


I am about to submit for publication an article that includes content
analysis of tweets, and a few of them are quoted in my paper. I wonder
if any kind of accepted practice exists already in this regard: do
Twitter's new terms of service mean that I need to obtain a permission
from Twitter to use tweets in the publication, or is it enough if I
have the authors' permission?
I apologise if this issue has been discussed already - I've joined the
list recently, and I've only seen the very end of the Twitter ToS
thread.

best
daria
