PEMANFAATAN MEDIA SOSIAL AUTOBASE TWITTER @COLLEGEMENFESS SEBAGAI PENCARIAN RESPONDEN DALAM PENELITIAN ONLINE DI LINGKUP PERGURUAN TINGGI

Abstract

This research aims to determine the use of autobase on Twitter as a research
respondent search tool. In this research, a qualitative approach was used using the literature
study method. The results of this research show that the use of the autobase system on the
@collegemenfess Twitter account really helps students collect their online research data.
Autobase can be used without space and time limitations, minimizes research costs and provides
direct interaction features between respondents and researchers. However, there is a weakness
in the autobase system, namely that there is a buildup of messages and information due to the
large number of messages sent at one time, so that the readability of messages by
@collegemenfess followers is low. Another weakness of autobase is that researchers do not get
respondents according to the required characteristics. In addition, there was an exchange of
respondents between researchers.
