So what can we do?

A quick note on Elsevier announcing its acquisition of bepress.

I am at the University of Granada as a member of the Knowmetrics project to participate in workshops and meetings around the project and the I Congreso Internacional “Territorios Digitales” under the umbrella Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades Digitales del Sur (#CSHDsur).

Where I share insights into the sources used to tweet from the UK Labour and Conservatives Twitter accounts from an analysis of a sample of 500 recent tweets from each account.

Like you, I’ve read the news today. Like so many others out there, I also wanted to write something. This is a personal reflection.

A reflection on Open Access Outputs as Potential Educational Resources.

No Trumpian Tweets coming from the Web Client since 25 January this year; no Tweets from Android since 25 March. Tweets from Twitter Ads have made an appearance alternating with Twitter for iPhone Tweets since 31st March. In the 18 days of May so far, the account has tweeted every single day, totalling 90 Tweets until the morning of the 18th of May.

I have just deposited the following data on figshare: Top 300 Terms in the Conservative and Labour Manifestos 2017 (Counts and Trends).

I have now prepared and shared a CSV file containing Tweet IDs and other metadata of 3,805 Tweets from user ID 25073877 posted publicly between Thursday February 25 2016 16:35:12 +0000 to Monday April 03 2017 12:51:01 +0000. I discuss source counts, trends and implications for research.
