This is a table of software that I have used and tested for my PhD research (so far) to either gather or analyse Twitter data. I use them all in combination as they complement each other very well. Some of the software can allow for data gathered from other platforms to be imported into the application so it is best to read the documentation thoroughly.

HI Wasim,
Really grateful for this list, which I’m looking forward to working my way through.
Have you tried TAGS from Martin Hawskey? https://tags.hawksey.info/ or IFTTT recipes https://ifttt.com/connect/twitter/google_drive ?
Both require a Google account of course, so come with that overhead. The IFTTT recipes are rather limited in scope, but I find the one which archives Tweets I ‘Favourite’ into a spreadsheet quite useful; a manual process, but allows me to quickly and easily keep a record of Tweets I feel might be significant.
Regards,
Ian
