CSTrack dashboard: A social network data visualization platform for interactive and integrative analysis of discourse

The discussion in social networks is of general interest, but the extraction, curation and visualization of this information turns difficult for those without programming knowledge. In the framework of the project CSTrack, which studies the activities in Citizen Science, we present an easily accessible dashboard aimed to provide a platform for people of different levels of expertise and professionals. They can retrieve valuable information about the trends and topics inside Twitter with a standardized pipeline for analysis that provides a complete understanding of the state of the conversation in social networks. With this platform, we present an alternative to the lack of standardization in social networking analysis and also, we aim to palliate the insufficiency of replication of social network research.

Abstract

The discussion in social networks is of general interest, but the extraction, curation and visualization of this information turns difficult for those without programming knowledge. In the framework of the project CSTrack, which studies the activities in Citizen Science, we present an easily accessible dashboard aimed to provide a platform for people of different levels of expertise and professionals. They can retrieve valuable information about the trends and topics inside Twitter with a standardized pipeline for analysis that provides a complete understanding of the state of the conversation in social networks. With this platform, we present an alternative to the lack of standardization in social networking analysis and also, we aim to palliate the insufficiency of replication of social network research.
