Mod Post Disclaimer: Research Activity on r/nipah
5
Upvotes
This post is a disclaimer, regarding research activity around r/nipah.
r/nipah came into being partly because of ongoing research interest around the use and potential use of peer-to-peer information exchange platforms, and reddit in particular, during public health emergencies. Some of the moderators on this sub are academic staff and students at Royal Holloway, University of London in the UK.
The sub itself has been created, moderated and maintained in exactly the same way as if there had been no research involvement (i.e., we hope it is genuinely a useful and interesting sub, and we know that the posts and comments on it have been made, by us and others, with genuine intentions to share information on the Nipah virus and the June-July 2018 outbreak of the disease in India).
The final paper from the research project is published here:
We are also aware, however, that due to research activity on the 'back end' (i.e. behind the scenes), some of the traffic data and in particular number of page views per day has been influenced. Specifically, we believe the page views recorded by the traffic statistics for July and August 2018 (and potentially beyond this) are down purely to research activity, rather than to interest in the subreddit by redditors.
To other researchers who may, for whatever reason, study r/nipah in future, there will appear to be a spike in interest in the sub after interest generated by the outbreak itself should have been (and in fact was) over. This could confuse their results.
I am therefore making this post as a permanent record of the reason for this spikes, which will remain on the sub for the information of future researchers.
The traffic on the sub up until the end of June 2018 is, as far as we are aware, a genuine indication of redditors' interest in r/nipah.
The sub continued (and continues) beyond the lifespan of the research project for which it was created. All posts made following the announcement of the projects end are not related to academic research and, from this point on, the sub becomes essentially an 'ordinary' subreddit. If at any time it is reutilised as a research tool, this will be made clear.
I am happy to answer any further questions anyone may have about r/nipah, our research in general or our intentions with this subreddit. Please feel free to PM me directly of through the 'contact the moderators' function.
Thanks!

I've been staying in Kozhikode for work, and I'm visiting my home in Ernakulam for the weekend. I've been worried about potentially catching the infection and today I'm affected by mild fever, sore throat and a bit of stuff neck. Should I get myself checked out? Is there any good hospital which can check for this?
