Toward a Twitch Research Toolkit: A Systematic Review of Approaches to Research on Game Streaming
summary
Systematic review searches 11 databases, narrows 922 initial hits to 55 final papers, and codes studies by focus (viewer, streamer, platform), method (mapped to Ways of Knowing chapters), and data type (field notes, interviews, questionnaires, stream/chat/platform logs, interaction traces). Findings cluster into technically agnostic, technically supported, and technically challenging work; early studies use platform log data, recent work shifts to chat, surveys, and design-based methods, experiments remain rare, and a software toolkit is proposed but not yet implemented.
