Graphs, algorithms and metrics. How to follow traces in social media?

Abstract

In Análise de
Redes para Mídia Social, researchers Raquel Recuero, Marco Bastos and Gabriela Zago, from MIDIARS (Media, Discourse and Social Network Analysis Research Group), of UCPel (Catholic University of Pelotas), present theoretical and epistemological paths for an understanding of the social constitution in digital space. The central response of the authors points to the application of ARS (Analysis of Social Media), associated with elements of graph theory and sociometry, to the studies of social networks on the Internet.
