Twitter use in election campaigns: A systematic literature review
TLDR
A systematic literature review of 127 studies addressing the use of Twitter in election campaigns is presented in this paper, where the authors discuss the available research with regard to findings on the use by parties, candidates, and publics during election campaigns and during mediated campaign events.Abstract:
Twitter has become a pervasive tool in election campaigns. Candidates, parties, journalists, and a steadily increasing share of the public are using Twitter to comment on, interact around, and research public reactions to politics. These uses have met with growing scholarly attention. As of now, this research is fragmented, lacks a common body of evidence, and shared approaches to data collection and selection. This article presents the results of a systematic literature review of 127 studies addressing the use of Twitter in election campaigns. In this systematic review, I will discuss the available research with regard to findings on the use of Twitter by parties, candidates, and publics during election campaigns and during mediated campaign events. Also, I will address prominent research designs and approaches to data collection and selection.read more
