About the VOSON tools
The VOSON R tools are designed to be like a "Swiss army knife", enabling researchers to easily collect network and text data from different online environments (Twitter, YouTube, Reddit and WWW hyperlink networks). The VOSON R tools produce research ready data (networks with text embedded as node/edge attributes) for analysis using R or other software.
vosonSML, VOSONDash, and voson.tcn are publicly available via GitHub and CRAN.
