Consent for publication

We are researchers conducting a project on social media communications. We have been looking at how people on Twitter talk to each other during ‘heated’ discussions. We have contacted you because we would like to include one (or more) of your tweets in our research publications. The tweets we would like to use are those we replied to on Twitter. We will include the tweet content and your username but we will not include any further information about you and will not seek to identify you. Our research focuses on how people communicate: we do not evaluate (positively or negatively) users’ personalities or psychological motivations for sending tweets.

We would like to ask your permission before publishing these tweets. Please can you reply to use to confirm whether or not you are happy to let us use them? You can reply to our Twitter post or by emailing helena.webb@cs.ox.ac.uk . For moreinformation about our project see www.digitalwildfire.org
