Finnish Election Twitter Endorsement Networks from 2019

183 topic endorsement networks inferred from Twitter interactions during the 2019 Finnish Elections. The dataset was created by researchers including Ali Salloum from Aalto University for studies on polarization measures. Nodes represent accounts and undirected ties indicate endorsement via retweets on specific topics.

Use Cases

• Comparing structural polarization measures based on network topology.
• Analyzing topic-based community formation during an election period.
• Studying the evolution of online endorsement patterns across three distinct time periods (p1, p2, p3).

Strengths

• Contains 183 distinct topic endorsement networks for multi-faceted analysis.
• Data is structured as edge lists, a standard format for graph analysis.
• Covers three distinct time periods (p1, p2, p3) during the 2019 Finnish Elections.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the referenced papers.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
