For example, personally identifiable information from more than 87 million Facebook users was collected in an academic study, but then the data were used by Cambridge Analytica to micro-target political advertisements ( Isaak & Hanna, 2018). ![]() However, not all uses of social media data have been welcomed by users or seen as acceptable in the research community. Researchers have used social media data for a wide range of purposes-from predicting postpartum depression from Facebook posts ( De Choudhury et al., 2014) to trying to predict movements in the stock market based on the sentiment of Tweets ( Mittal & Goel, 2010). Review of Relevant Literature Public Data Use The analysis offers insights into the growth in the use of Reddit as a data source, the range of disciplines in which this research is occurring, how researchers are accessing Reddit data, characteristics of the datasets researchers are using, the subreddits and topics frequently studied, the kinds of analysis and methods researchers are engaging in, and emerging ethical questions of research in this space. Modeled after Zimmer and Proferes’s (2014) systematic topology of research on Twitter, this study presents a systematic overview of 727 research studies that used Reddit data published between 2010 and May of 2020. To date, there is no systematic work detailing how researchers are studying Reddit, the phenomena they are studying and approaches they are using, what aspects of Reddit are being studied, and how researchers are engaging the potentially thorny ethical questions of research in this space. These properties raise questions about how researchers engage in scientific practice when it comes to using data from Reddit.
