• Social Media data: Challenges, opportunities and limitations in urban studies (2019, neutral): “…Based Social Networks —LBSNs hereafter— provide a means by which to assess different urban dynamics, such as, mobility (Cheng, Caverlee, Lee, & Sui, 2011; Luo, Cao, Mulligan, & Li, 2016; Noulas, Scellato, Lambiotte, Pontil, & Mascolo, 2012; Quercia, Aiello, Schifanella, & Davies, 2015a,…”
• Data-driven geography (2014, neutral): “…by individuals in phones, attached to vehicles, and embedded in infrastructure; remote sensors carried by airborne and satellite platforms; radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags attached to objects; and georeferenced social media (Miller 2007, 2010; Sui and Goodchild 2011; Townsend 2013).”
• A geographic approach for combining social media and authoritative data towards identifying useful information for disaster management (2015, background): “Of particular interest here are social media messages that carry a geographic reference, which can be considered Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) (Goodchild 2007, Sui and Goodchild 2011), since they can be used for composing a picture of what is happening in a specific place.”
