INTRODUCTION

The upcoming book which was titled “#Trending Topics On Social Media Researches” will try to make an effort on consolidating interdisciplinary researches related or via Social Networks. Social Networks in nowadays contain the most important data source currently available to researchers from many different disciplines. Unlike traditional research methods, researchers can easily access large data sources thanks to constantly updated and up-to-date social media platforms. On the other hand, social media platforms are the focus of direct researches. In this book, it is aimed to contribute to the literature through multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary, preferably empirical researches directed towards social media applications or via social networks.

OBJECTIVE

In our book, #Trending Topics On Social Media Researches, it is aimed to examine the Social Media ecosystem under four main themes for all segments from society. In this context, it is aimed to include the studies carried out by scientists under the themes of Social Media and Changing Perspectives of Society, Multifaceted Interaction of Economy and Social Media, Social Media in Public Order and Administration, International Relations, Social Media and Business Management.

The invention of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram has single handily changed society and altered visions for social movements. Roughly, 70% of people will be on mobile devices or will be clutching one as if it was a newborn child, leading experts to have serious concerns about the overall effect that Facebook and other social media platforms are having on our lives besides positive aspects. As today’s people from different countries spends up to nearly nine hours per day online, social media has proven to be the most effective way for businesses to reach new audiences on a global scale. Social media is also helping to fuel the global economy by creating new jobs, democratizing information and pushing brands far beyond their borders. That’s really appreciatory to address these topics and subtopics in a book which is directly about social media ecosystem researches from different disciplines

As a result, the purpose of our book is to bring together the studies of academicians and researchers who are doing their bests in field and gain a multi-disciplinary book related to trending topics about social media researches. Yet we aim to enlighten the readers and make a recommendation for policymakers to reduce these issues and suggest some projections.
