COMMUNITY RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Understand public discussion without turning members into data points.

For a research purpose permitted by the community and its owners, review a small set of eligible group posts and prepare an aggregate summary of themes and engagement. Respect group rules and member expectations, exclude private or sensitive conversations, avoid retaining profile-level details, preserve relevant context, and require a researcher to approve any sharing or downstream use.

Keep in mind

Group membership and visibility do not automatically permit collection or reuse of members’ posts. Follow community rules, avoid private spaces and sensitive personal information, minimize identifiers, keep collection proportionate, and have an owner review summaries before sharing them.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document permitted groups and methods

Follow group rules, member expectations, and applicable access limits.

Minimize collection and identifiers

Use aggregate insights and avoid saving profiles or unnecessary post text.

Set retention and audience boundaries

Remove raw discussion when analysis no longer requires it.

Assign a community research reviewer

Name who approves collection, interpretation, and any external sharing.
