The 3rd Annual Workshop on Social Media Research, Challenges, and Opportunities aims to promote discussion and disciplinary convergence on the topic of social media research focusing on issues related to mis/disinformation, social bots, online communities, and emerging social media platforms. Social media has become a mainstream channel of communication where users create, consume, and exchange information. The ASIST community is uniquely positioned as a diverse community of researchers and educators with different backgrounds and expertise. This workshop aims to: 1) highlight current social media research opportunities and challenges, 2) discuss the threats and opportunities of newer social media platforms like TikTok, 3) identify and connect social media researchers, 4) disseminate research findings from the latest papers on social media, and 5) serve as a learning platform for new researchers who are interested in social media. The workshop willbe beneficial for advancing our knowledge and understanding of the changing socio-technical landscapes around social media. By bringing together scholars and practitioners from different disciplines, the workshop will facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations and foster new research agendas. Additional registration fee applies.
