This half-day workshop aims to promote discussion and disciplinary convergence on the topic of social media research, focusing on issues related to mis/disinformation, online communities, user behavior and engagement, digital activism, and emerging social media technologies and platforms. Social media has become a mainstream channel where users create, consume, and exchange information. It has also emerged as a burgeoning field of research interest, attracting researchers from various disciplines. The ASIS&T community is positioned at the heart of this domain, including researchers with diverse backgrounds and expertise who share similar interests in theories, techniques, and technologies to improve information access and communication. This workshop aims to: 1) highlight current social media research opportunities and challenges, 2) discuss the threats and opportunities with emerging AI technologies like ChatGPT, 3) identify the trending and important social media research, and 4) guide new researchers in their study and research development. The workshop would be beneficial for the ASIS&T community by bringing scholars and practitioners from diverse disciplines, facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations, and fostering new research agendas. Additional registration fee applies.
