Abstract
Social media research and suitable methodologies and ethical approaches for analysing social
media data are still emerging. This paper presents a
methodology for projects using social media data alongside
consideration of ethics within the social media analysis
context. Earlier stages of the methodology will be expanded
to develop a strategy for examining ethics alongside
consideration of the relevant analysis techniques that may be employed. This will provide a comprehensive methodology
that will provide a springboard for the clear and ethically
sound scrutiny of social media data. We aim to present the
challenges of using social media data, while the inclusion of ethical and legal aspects in this paper aim to draw
researchers' attention to the peculiarity issues involved with dealing with social media data.
