The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Platformization of the Web: Making Web Data Platform Ready (2015, background): “The notion of programmability has been key to understanding the logic of new media (Chun, 2011; Manovich, 2001)(4) and, by extension, figures centrally in examining the underlying logic of social media platforms.”
Big Data in food and agriculture (2016, background): “Current enthusiasm for the material eﬀects of social processes – the new materialist turn in social science – has focused less on digital shifts, perhaps because ‘things always seem to be disappearing’ (Chun, 2011: 11).”
The cultural work of microwork (2015, background): “The sociotechnical configuration of AMT does cultural work; this cultural work happens not only through talk or co-present social interaction, but also through the relational politics of interface and systems design (Chun, 2011; Fuller, 2003; Galloway, 2012; Mackenzie, 2006).”
Want to be on the top? Algorithmic power and the threat of invisibility on Facebook (2012, background): “The relatively new field of software studies (Berry, 2011; Chun, 2011; Fuller, 2008; Kitchin and Dodge, 2011) usefully directs attention to the ways in which software functions as a sociotechnical actor capable of influencing users’ practices and experiences on the Web.”
