Open Science Data
The data and files is openly accessible at OSF.
empirical data analysis
the dir empirical
contains codes that collect empirical twitter data, construct the dynamic semantic social network, and analyze the integration and segregation metrics of the networks.
simulation data analysis
the dir simulation
contains codes that simulate the semantic social network under the influence of broadcast vs. viral diffusion events, and analyze the network metrics.
