SMART Data Sprint is intensive hands-on work, driven by online data and digital methods. We adopt experimental and inventive ways of reading, seeing, and analysing platform data, with the aim of responding to a set of research questions.
Our goal is to collectively achieve concrete outcomes, creating the opportunity for knowledge production and providing an environment in which participants can equally contribute and benefit from one another’s expertise. We believe that: 1) new approaches for social media research can be collectively built and designed through this experimental and exploratory process, and advanced by digital methods; 2) the data sprint approach can trigger new possibilities for ongoing digital research, as well as provide descriptions and a broad/narrow view on the subject of study.
