If you are using MAXQDA Plus and therefore have MAXDictio available, you can use this compilation of tweets to perform a simple word frequency analysis. The result will be a compilation of all relevant tweets, which will appear in the “Retrieved Segments” window.

Activate the codes with the relevant author names in the Code System.

When at least one hastag or author name is selected, the Autocode button becomes available and can be clicked. When you click OK, you will return to the Autocode dialog window, where you can proceed in the same manner with author names. Note that a maximum of 100 entries can be selected. This procedure can be repeated as desired, or reversed by selecting a row and clicking on the Stop icon to deselect an entry.
