A Turkish-language sample of pandemic-era Twitter activity, collected to support research on public discourse during COVID-19.
What it is
A Turkish-language sample within the broader COVID-19 Twitter Database effort — a set of tweet identifiers and associated metadata capturing pandemic-era conversation in Turkish. It supports work on how publics discussed the pandemic, and can be rehydrated for text and network analysis. Scope and coverage details coming.
How it was collected
Collected during 2020 by tracking pandemic-related activity in the Turkish-language sample, distributed as tweet identifiers in line with platform terms so that researchers rehydrate the full content themselves. Collection window, keywords, and volume coming.
