Research Without Borders Twitter Archive, #rwob, September 24, 2014

The dataset includes all tweets using the hashtag #rwob made between September 16 and September 29, 2013. The hashtag was associated with the Research Without Borders event held at Columbia University on September 24, 2014. The session, titled "Publishing Without a Publisher? Scholars Are Doing It For Themselves“, featured speakers exploring the ways in which scholars are self-publishing or DIY-publishing their research, and why they choose to do so. Topics of discussion included the different forms that scholarly self-publishing takes, who in the academy is self-publishing, and how academia views such efforts. This collection of Twitter data was harvested using version 5.1 of Martin Hawksey's Twitter Archiving Google Spreadsheet (TAGS v5.1), which is available from his blog (http://mashe.hawksey.info/2013/02/twitter-archive-tagsv5/).

该数据集包含2013年9月16日至9月29日期间所有使用#rwob标签的推文。该标签与2014年9月24日在哥伦比亚大学举办的“无国界研究”（Research Without Borders）活动相关联。此次活动的主题为“无需出版商即可出版？学者正自主为之”（Publishing Without a Publisher? Scholars Are Doing It For Themselves），特邀演讲者探讨了学者自主出版或DIY出版其研究成果的方式，以及他们选择这一方式的原因。讨论主题包括学术自主出版的不同形式、学术界中哪些群体正在进行自主出版，以及学术界如何看待此类尝试。这批Twitter数据通过Martin Hawksey开发的Twitter存档谷歌表格（TAGS v5.1，版本5.1）采集而来，该工具可从其博客获取（链接：http://mashe.hawksey.info/2013/02/twitter-archive-tagsv5/）。
