Portraits on social media are value-laden constructs. In a new #OA paper from the #ERC funded DigitalValues project, we offer the first investigation of the values expressed by such photos and the criteria that people use to evaluate them doi.org/10.1093/joc/jqad009

New🔥 research from the DigitalValues squad just dropped! Summarizing more than 5 (!) years of work, the paper proposes a comprehensive framework for the analysis of values in user-generated content.
