Repository Fringe is a gathering for repository managers and others interested in research data repositories and publication repositories.
I collected an archive of #rfringe17, containing 1118 Tweet IDs. I then analysed the text in the tweets with Voyant Tools to identify most frequent terms and manually refined the results to 230 terms.

From http://www.repositoryfringe.org/:
Repository Fringe is a gathering for repository managers and others interested in research data repositories and publication repositories. Participation is a key element – the event is designed to encourage all attendees to share their repository experiences and expertise.
2017 marks the 10th Repo Fringe where we will be celebrating progress we have made over the last 10 years to share content beyond borders and debating future trends and challenges.
It took place in Edinburgh, 3 – 4 August 2017.
If you are not new to this blog you will then guess that I could not resist running the text of the tweets collected through Voyant Tools to obtain the term counts in the corpus with their Terms tool. As usual I applied the English stop words filter which I customised to include Twitter-specific terms (such as https, t.co, etc.) and the list of usernames.
I then manually refined the resulting data to remove smileys and any remaining usernames (some might have survived as it’s hard to disambiguate sometimes normal terms from usernames). I limited the results to 230 top terms.
Do take the counts with a pinch of salt as I did not clean the export from TAGS so Tweet duplicates and perhaps even some spam (who knows) might have remained.

Logically sharing this data as an HTML table is not the best way of doing it but hey. I have the source data if anyone is interested; Twitter developer guidelines allow the sharing of tweet IDs. In this case the source data is composed by the dataset of 1118 tweet ID strings (id_str).
Maybe I missed it but in the list above I could not find ‘bepress’ or ‘elsevier‘, by the way…
