that did not quite work out? Nowis the time to share these experiences! We 
wouldlike everyone to submit their individual stories of "failed" 
researchapproaches in the field of studying social media and social media

datacollection, data processing, data analysis, data sharing, also including 
administrativetasks, research ethics and legal challenges) that did not work 
out as expected.Presentedcase studies should help other researchers in the 
field to advance researchmethodology by identifying unsuccessful approaches and 
to inspire discussionson alternative solutions.
