Peer-reviewed Research

We believe that the state-of-the-art improves most quickly when research is shared with the greater community. Our ground-breaking research regularly appears in peer-reviewed scientific publications.

We are also pioneers in the ethical application of this field of technology, with the first published ethical framework and recommendations for doing health research with social media data.
