The archive shared here contains 692 Tweets dated 13 June 2014 (the day the event took place). There were definitely more Tweets tagged #DHCOxf, but this was the closest I got to compiling a more or less complete set dated 13 June 2014.

The Tweets contained in this file were collected using Martin Hawksey’s TAGS 5.1. The file contains two sheets:

Sheet 0. The 'Cite Me' sheet, including procedence of the file, citation information, information about its contents, the methods employed and some context.

Sheet 1. The Archive containing 692 Tweets dated 13 June 2014.

To avoid spam only users with at least 2 followers were included in the archive. Retweets have been included.

Please note that both research and experience show that the Twitter search API isn't 100% reliable. Large tweet volumes affect the search collection process. The API might "over-represent the more central users", not offering "an accurate picture of peripheral activity" (González-Bailón, Sandra, et al. 2012). Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed this file contains each and every tweet tagged with #DHCOxf during the indicated period.

Some deduplication and refining has been performed to avoid spam tweets and duplication. Some characters in some Tweets' text might not have been decoded correctly.

Please note the data in this file is likely to require further refining and even deduplication. The data is shared as is. If you use or refer to this data in any way please cite and link back using the citation information above.

All the data collected in this small dataset was willingly made freely, openly and publicly available online by users via Twitter and therefore was and still is openly and freely available through several other methods and services. It has been shared here in a curated form for educational and research use and no copyright or privacy infringement is intended or should be inferred.
