The book "Social Media as Social Science Data" by Steven Lloyd Wilson provides a comprehensive guide for social scientists interested in using Twitter data for research. It covers topics such as collecting and analyzing Twitter data, sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and social network analysis. While the book focuses on Python programming, it may be challenging for novice programmers, and recent changes in Twitter's developer account policies could limit data collection. Despite these limitations, the book is recommended for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars in public administration and policy interested in computational social science approaches.
