Tonight I watched another MAXDAYS 2025 session. This one focused on Exploring Instagram with text and image analysis. Justyna Okrucinska has many roles: they are a Ph.D. student, work with MAXQDA, and train others. For this study, Okrucinska used the tool Web Collector and installed in MAXQDA. This allows you to download text and images from Instagram, for example. After downloading, the user can import into MAXQDA for analysis. Once in MAXQDA, content analysis can be done manually or explored with AI Assist. Okrucinska noted that you can also download Instagram Stories. If I understand correctly, documents are saved as images and you can pick a post you want to code in MAXQDA. The Web Collector could be helpful in the analysis of materials shared on the web. I wonder if we could use this and MAXQDA to analyze posts about scientific content such as Delftia acidovorans prevalence, clinical cases, and characterization.
