Student participants of #citylis used the hashtag in awareness of its public nature; an introductory workshop to Twitter was offered during Induction Week. Students were encouraged to create their own archives and live archives of this hashtag were also used for analysis during computer lab sessions by students taking the DITA (Digital Information and Technology Architectures) core module.
Further reuse of this dataset is responsibility of the user and must comply with the current Twitter Developer Agreement and Policy.
Please note that both research and experience show that the Twitter search API isn't 100% reliable. Large tweet volumes affect the search collection process. The API might "over-represent the more central users", not offering "an accurate picture of peripheral activity" (González-Bailón, Sandra, et al. 2012). It is not guaranteed this file contains each and every Tweet tagged with the archived hashtag during the indicated period, and is shared for comparative and indicative educational and research purposes only.
