Now，The connection between social media and scientific research activities is increasingly close，Researchers can no longer avoid the impact of social media on scientific research activities。Even in some areas，Social media has become an important research tool。For this，Reporter interviewed relevant scholars。

A report from the British Government Social Research Center shows，Social media research has two main aspects，First, use the social media platform as a research tool，For example, obtain data through social media surveys。Second, bet365 live casino games research on social media itself，For example, the operating laws and content research of social media。

Current，For most scientific researchers，It is increasingly important to use social media as a research tool。"Nature" journal has done a panoramic analysis on the situation of global scientists using social media，Results show，Social media is becoming an important research tool for global researchers。Social media is influenced and changing the information sharing of scientific researchers、Scientific research cooperation and the existing mode of connecting with each other and mutual assistance。Researchers at the British Government Social Research Center said，Like any new form of research，Social media for scientific research activities must consider methodology problems，to ensure the rigor of its process。

Line Caes, a professor bet365 best casino games of psychology at Styn University in the United Kingdom, said，Social media as a research tool，It is easier to capture people's daily life。For example，Investigating the daily life of young people with chronic pain，Social media is more effective than traditional survey methods、intuitive and fast。

Lily Davies, the University of London, England, said，Current，From daily social interaction to presidential election，Social media has penetrated into all levels of people's lives。Social media is still a field of rapid development，Users will generate a lot of data during use，This is for social science researchers，It is both an opportunity and a challenge。

Social media can come into contact with users' spontaneous feelings and opinions，Provided a lot of available data for researchers。

Denish Otieno, Department bet365 best casino games of Computer Science, University of Missouri University of Central Missouri, believes，Social media support multi -party collaboration、Community construction and user participation and sharing，Can reflect people's views on various problems in time。Data is important to scientific researchers，They must collect and analyze the latest data to assist in research。A large amount of data provided by social media，can effectively help scientific researchers to better complete the scientific research project。

Current，Social media research is also innovating and expanding related research methods。For example，Use machine learning and artificial intelligence，Accelerate data collection and analysis work。Matthew Mount, assistant professor at the University of Melbourne, Australia，In academic research and management Bet365 app download practice，Few people pay attention to how to apply social media to the entire innovation process of scientific research and practice，Including creativity、Open innovation of research and development and commercialization。So，In terms of using social media for scientific research results expansion，Scientific researchers should increase research intensity。

Scholar reminders，Although the relationship between social media and scientific research is getting closer and closer，But using social media to conduct investigations and research，It also involves the rigor of the survey、User data privacy protection and many problems。Current，The methods and theoretical innovation of social media research are still in the exploration stage。
