This file was created and shared by Sarah Gallagher @sarahlibrarina (University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand) with a Creative Commons- Attribution license (CC-BY) for academic research and educational use. The Tweets contained in this file were collected using Martin Hawksey’s [@mhawksey] TAGS 6.0 http://tags.hawksey.info/ An automatic deduplication has been performed but data may require further refining. Mass tweets by trending services have been removed. Retweets have been retained. The contents of each Tweet are responsibility of the original authors. This data set has been shared “as is”, for educational and research purposes. As noted by Priego [1] “both research and experience show that the Twitter search API isn't 100% reliable. Large tweet volumes affect the search collection process. The API might "over-represent the more central users", not offering "an accurate picture of peripheral activity" (González-Bailón, Sandra, et al. 2012).” Therefore there is no guarantee that this file all Tweets tagged with (#EBLIP8) during the indicated period. This dataset is shared to encourage open research into scholarly activity on Twitter. If you use or refer to this data in any way please cite using the preferred citation above.
