Concept
COVID-19 infodemic: More retweets for science-based information on coronavirus than for false information data collection
- Utilized Communicative Content Analysis
- Obtained a total of 17,988 Tweets that each had at least 1000 retweets, contained the keyword “coronavirus,” and was published between February 6-7, 2020 using the NVivo software for extraction
- Each Tweet was studied beyond just the text; links to further information, the number of retweets, and user profiles were all crucial information
- Categorized each Tweet into one of the 7 groups – false information, science-based evidence, fact-checking tweets, mixed information, facts, other, and not valid
- 58 of the tweets were excluded due to difficulty in placing them into one of the 7 groups
