# Research question
<span style="color:gray">(clear - relevant - feasible)</span>
## <span class="hotpink">*How do sources (URLs) offered as "proof" or "validation" within vaccination discussion on (danish) Facebook are networked between each other?*</span>
* Are there main sources for argumentation on the topic?
* Which controversies are generated through these sources?
* To what degree is it possible to identify their networked publics?
---
# Method(s)
<span style="color:gray">(Cross-media controversy analysis of media sources)</span>
**Data Collection**:
1. URLs / media titles containing vaccine-related keywords + Text from selected accounts (snowballed)
2. URLs from posts and comments from selected (snowballed) accounts
**Analysis**:
1. Thematic analysis (of documents/websites)
2. Controversy Analysis / Issue Mapping (of social media dynamics and networks)
* Home-made scraper (or manual collection)
* DMI tools https://medialab.sciencespo.fr/en/tools/dmi-tools
* MediaLab tools https://medialab.sciencespo.fr/en/tools/

# Theory/Concepts
<span style="color:gray">(in-tune with methods and research goals)</span>
1. Networked Publics / Sociotechnical imaginaries (STS / Social Construction of Technology)
2. Controversies/Issues (ANT/ STS)
3. Network analysis - tool criticism (Digital Methods methodological issues)
