SIGDSA Minitrack #7: Social Media and Network Analytics
Online social networks (OSN) differ from traditional offline social networks in content and structure. OSN content (e.g., online reviews, eWOM via tweets, likes, claps) differs in nature and frequency, and OSN structure increases the content’s reach and propagation speed by orders of magnitude. Further, the content can be continuously captured at the finest level of granularity. Unstructured data in this form that is disseminated over OSN provides a lean yet in many ways unique and rich means of communication that has the potential to not only influence receivers (consumers, colleagues, stakeholders, etc.), but also to provide a window into the participants’ information needs, responses to incentive structures, and the collective sentiments of social groups (consumers, employees, voters, etc.).
This mini-track invites original research on the use of analytical techniques to advance the theories of social networks to further understand social influence, human behavior and decision-making, network structures, and information diffusion.
Topics may include the following: • Emerging architecture for scalable social media analytics • Social network and Geospatial analytics, • Visual social network analytics • Privacy and security in social networks • Communities structure discoveries such as profiling participants, and subgroups • User sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and recommendation analysis • User empowerment and social movements with OSN • Impact of OSN on brand communication, advertising, and e-commerce • Use of theories to understand user communication patterns and behavior in social media • Impact of OSN on decision-making at the individual and organizational level • Integration of OSN in enterprise processes and systems • Ethical concerns about the nature of OSN content and spread of misinformation
Selected papers from the mini-track will be eligible for a fast-track review for publication consideration in the e-Service Journal https://www.jstor.org/journal/eservicej.
