VOSON in action: New publication!

The article "Risk issue adoption in an online social movement field" was recently published in the Information, Communications & Society Journal. The study explores further conceptualisation and empirically investigates issue adoption by the Online Environmental Movement, through analysing structural position (networks) of actors and their responses to emerging threats (the nanoscience and technology risk issue).

The study, authored by Mathieu O'Neil (University of Canberra) and Robert Ackland, utilises hyperlink network datasets, collected via VOSON and the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
