For Researchers
Welcome to ARTT Research
ARTT Docs is a starting point to explore and better understand the documentation related to the research behind the Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust (ARTT) project.
The ARTT project provides practical tools that support trust-building online conversations online. The project brings together insights from research fields such as computer science, social science, media literacy, conflict resolution, and psychology, in addition to practitioners from communities focusing on health-related communications in journalism, vaccine safety, and Wikipedia.
The focus of the project is the ARTT Guide, a Web-based software tool that will provide insights into points of analysis and response during online conversations around complicated topics. The ARTT toolkit includes relevant tips or guidance related to different types of response.
The toolkit also includes the ARTT Catalog, a curated library of studies and reports from across research disciplines. The Catalog presents the latest findings from these disciplines about how to best engage in conversations around misinformation or other contentious topics in online spaces in trust-building ways.
We are also developing other resources, including a curriculum making the Catalog’s findings accessible as easy-to-use practices for connective communication.
Paths to get started:
Analysis and Response
How do experts understand information?
Engaging in a productive conversation can be helped by understanding the information better.
The ARTT team has explored four different “lenses,” or interpretation frameworks, to help in analyzing divisive online conversations.
ARTT Catalog
The Analysis Toolkit for Trust (ARTT) Catalog is a curated library of studies and reports from across research disciplines.
The ARTT Catalog presents the latest findings from these disciplines about how to best engage in conversations around misinformation or other contentious topics in online spaces in trust-building ways.
- Brings together interventions from diverse disciplines such as psychology, media literacy, conflict resolution and conflict transformation, and science communication
- Distills interventions into conversational response categories
- Enables exploration of how these interventions may overlap, interact or counteract each other.
