[Air-L] Twitter Data Office Hours for #AoIR2016 Berlin

[Michelle, AoIR Association Coordinator]

We are happy to announce that members of the Twitter Data Products and
Trust & Safety teams will participate at AoIR 2016 and hold multiple office
hours for AoIR members.



Many members of the AoIR community work with Twitter data in a variety of
scenarios, from fandom to political communication. The Twitter Data Office
Hours will be an opportunity for scholars to directly discuss research
possibilities with Twitter, in order to identify opportunities to more
effectively use Twitter data for research purposes. Twitter is also eager
to get feedback from researchers working in this space about how to improve
academic access to Twitter data.



The Twitter Data Office Hours will be held on site during the course of the
conference. Starting today, you can contact twitterchat at aoir.org to book a
half-hour slot. We suggest that you either prepare a brief proposal (~1
page) that outlines your project, or a set of questions that you would like
to discuss.


Please keep in mind that the aim of the office hours is to facilitate
concrete research projects by making it easier for scholars already working
in this space to get access to Twitter data and share their feedback about
Twitter’s APIs and Data Products. Please understand that the Twitter Data
Office Hours are not intended as a technical introduction to digital
research methods.


Hope to meet you all in Berlin,


Michelle
