Selected 28 active Twitter users who used their accounts regularly for professional purposes from a British University as participants (16 males, 12 females; 11 from Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities, 3 from Science, 2 from Medicine, and 1 from Engineering; 10 between ages of 40-49, 8 between 30-39 years, 7 were 50+, and 3 between 20-29 years)
Improved the quality and credibility of their research by incorporating many strategies and using a thematic approach to analyze data collected
