Twitter has emerged as a global social network of active users who share conversations with one another in an online setting. Academics are one community that has increasingly taken to Twitter as a means of connecting with other scholars, sharing research, and obtaining meaningful feedback. Tweeting has become especially popular during academic conferences where conference attendees use Twitter hashtags to filter conference conversations into a separate dialogue. For geographers, the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Geographers (AAG) represents one such occasion to use Twitter to discuss contemporary developments in geographic research. In this article, we provide an overview of Twitter as well as the ways in which the academic community uses the platform. Following this, we discuss the tweets sent using the hashtag for the 2018 AAG Annual Meeting, #AAG2018. To analyze these tweets, we collected all tweets with this hashtag for a period of four weeks and examined the content using word clouds and sentiment analysis to explore general feelings and trends associated with geography and the AAG Annual Meeting. We conclude with suggestions for future research avenues that could use Twitter data to gauge the pulse of the geographic discipline. Key Words: academic conferences, American Association of Geographers, geography, sentiment analysis, Twitter.

#AAG2018 镜头下的 Twitter 和学术地理

Twitter 已成为活跃用户的全球社交网络,这些用户在在线环境中相互分享对话。学术界是一个越来越多地将 Twitter 作为与其他学者联系、分享研究和获得有意义反馈的手段的社区。在学术会议期间,推特变得​​特别流行,与会者使用 Twitter 标签将会议对话过滤为单独的对话。对于地理学家来说,美国地理学家协会 (AAG) 年会代表了使用 Twitter 讨论当代地理研究发展的一个机会。在本文中,我们概述了 Twitter 以及学术界使用该平台的方式。按照此,我们讨论了使用主题标签为 2018 AAG 年会#AAG2018 发送的推文。为了分析这些推文,我们在为期 4 周的时间里收集了所有带有此主题标签的推文,并使用词云和情感分析检查了内容,以探索与地理和 AAG 年会相关的总体感受和趋势。最后,我们对未来的研究途径提出了建议,这些途径可以使用 Twitter 数据来衡量地理学科的脉搏。关键词:学术会议,美国地理学家协会,地理,情感分析,推特。我们在 4 周内收集了所有带有此主题标签的推文,并使用词云和情感分析检查了内容,以探索与地理和 AAG 年会相关的总体感受和趋势。最后,我们对未来的研究途径提出了建议,这些途径可以使用 Twitter 数据来衡量地理学科的脉搏。关键词:学术会议,美国地理学家协会,地理,情感分析,推特。我们在 4 周内收集了所有带有此主题标签的推文,并使用词云和情感分析检查了内容,以探索与地理和 AAG 年会相关的总体感受和趋势。最后,我们对未来的研究途径提出了建议,这些途径可以使用 Twitter 数据来衡量地理学科的脉搏。关键词:学术会议,美国地理学家协会,地理,情感分析,推特。
