“…Being the first research analyzing the social media use of technoparks in Turkey in terms of dialogic communication principles, this study differs from previous ones on several counts. While prior research examined either only Facebook (Capriotti & Losada-Díaz, 2018;Haro-de-Rosario, Sáez-Martín, & del Mar Gálvez-Rodríguez, 2017;Saxton & Waters, 2014), Twitter (del Mar Gálvez-Rodríguez et al, 2016;Kemna, 2013;Linvill et al, 2012;Rybalko & Seltzer, 2010;Sáez Martín, de Rosario, & Caba Pérez, 2015;Sundstorm & Levenshus, 2015;Wang & Yang, 2020;Yue et al, 2019), and Instagram (Arslan, 2019; Connectist: Istanbul University Journal of Communication Sciences, 2021, 60, 1-26 Silkü-Bilgilier & Kocaömer, 2020), or only two of these social media platforms (Kim et al, 2014a;Kim et al, 2014b;Shin et al, 2015;Yağmurlu, 2013), this study takes a more holistic approach and conducts content analyses of these three social media platforms in terms of the dialogic communication principles. In addition, to the best knowledge of the authors, this study holds the title of being the first research which attempts to present the quality indexes [an index based on the determinants of the quality of the social media platforms to determine their excellence in terms of dialogic communication, as stated by Navarro-Ruiz and Humanes Humanes (2012)] of these social media platforms regarding their adoption of the dialogic communication principles in order to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of each social media platform of technoparks, and to make suggestions for dialogic communication management.…”
