Dr. Jiang have studied big data from digital media on a variety of interdisciplinary topics, which addressed issues in the areas of international/intercultural communication, crowdsourcing, science communication, and network theory and methodology. Her studies have been published by interdisciplinary journals and books, and presented as top papers on national and international conferences:
