ESTRO twitter repo and analysis

An R analysis of the ESTRO37 conference

Need to fill in the blanks.

You can repeat this analysis by using rtweet if you are within 9 days of the conference (twitter has a ~9 window on searching into the past).

Acknowledgements (i.e. where did I lift this code from)

I think it's always good to nod back to where you are grabbing code from; there is no (or should be) no shame in it. I've reinvented enough bad wheels that I'm happy to use someone else's better code when I recognize it and their license is cool with it.

So: much of this code is based of Mike Kearney's analysis of the rstudio::conf tweet repo.

The network plot comes from Bob Rudis's great 21 recipes for twitter which has a bunch of nuts and bolts recipes for things you would want to do day to day in social network analysis with twitter data, using rtweet.

Where's all the code?

For the code please go to the Rmd; it will have the R code and plots interwoven.

This README just has the plots.
