Concept

A first look at COVID-19 information and misinformation sharing on Twitter - Tweet Quality Data Collection

  • To study the difference between high- and low-quality sources used to support Tweets, researchers separated sources that the selected Tweets could be traced back to into two groups
  • High quality health sources (HQHS) included information from the CDC, top medial journals and hospitals, US government agencies providing official health recommendations
  • Low quality misinformation sources (LQMS) included sources that NewsGuard identified as troublesome and spreading false information
