Social media presents tremendous opportunities for research but available tools for collection and analysis of that data come with tremendous technical, access, functionality, and cost barriers. Panelists will describe their research with social media data and how available tools for social media collection and analysis support their work, where those tools can be improved or how new tools can address their needs. Panelists will also offer perspectives on how a tool like DocNow can address some of the issues they encounter when working with social media data, and DocNow features and functionality that will be useful to them moving forward.
