Features
Marsad's user-facing capabilities for managing, collecting, analyzing, and reporting on social data.
Features
This page describes what Marsad enables users and administrators to do. For task-oriented guidance, see User & Administrator Journeys.
Dataset Management
Users can create and maintain datasets by supplying data for analysis. A dataset is the starting point for analysis, analytics, and reporting work.
Public-Dataset Discovery and Administration
Researchers can discover datasets that are available publicly. Administrators manage the metadata, availability, and access-related information for those datasets.
Real-time Social-Data Collection
Marsad can collect data from supported social platforms i.e. Bluesky, Reddit, Telegram, YouTube. Collected data becomes available for the same analysis and reporting workflows as supplied datasets.
Analysis and Analytics
Users can select an available analysis for a dataset, follow its processing status, and review the resulting analytics when processing finishes.
Report Preview
Users can review analysis results in the Analytics Visualization UI, which presents 20 visualizations and graphs without requiring users to generate or download a PDF.
Report Generation
Reports can be generated with different levels of detail:
- Full Report: Includes all five predefined report sections.
- Individual Section: Includes one selected report section: Primary Analysis, Advanced Indicators F1 to F52, Lexicon Indicators F53 to F138, Structural Indicators, or Keywords Analysis.
Report generation runs in the background, allowing users to monitor its status and review or download the completed report when it is ready.
Job Notifications and Status Tracking
Long-running collection, analysis, and report-generation work is processed in the background. Marsad communicates the current job status and makes completed outputs available to the user.
