Opis

The most diverse sciences have not been immune to the emergence and impact of the Internet and have included it as a topic of study on their research agendas. This is the concern that guides this collection, organized by professors Thiago Perez Bernardes de Moraes and Evelise Galvão de Carvalho, which offers the reader pertinent information and analysis on the development of the internet as a tool for large-scale social research. Readers will find here a unique collection that contains a wealth of analysis based on Google Trends. By monitoring this search engine, the articles deal with a wide range of topics with great scientific rigor: protests and police violence in Ukraine, "pro-white supremacist" ideology and hate crimes in the United States, and the relationship between personality traits and Google searches for terrorism, plastic surgery and anabolic steroids.
