Abstract

Content analysis is a research method in the humanities and social sciences that has been around for many years. Despite its age, it does not always seem to be used adequately. Moreover, the rise of digital social networks has brought about a form of reconfiguration within humanities and social sciences research, impacting on their methods in the process. Obviously, one of these methods is content analysis. Thus, in the context of digital social networks, their specificities complicate the analysis of their content, which is so simple and accessible on the surface. This highlights the need to reconsider, among other things, the relationship between qualitative and quantitative aspects when using this method.
