Social media has changed the way people communicate. Millions of people over the world use social media to share information and make connections. Anyone with Internet access can explain their experiences in a video, give their opinion about a fact, or show their photos to millions of other users. This has led Social Media Analytics (SMA) to an important growth over last year due to the amount of data shared.

Gohfar F. Khan’s defines SMA as "the art and science of extracting valuable hidden insights from vast amounts of semistructured an unstructured social media data to enable informed and insightful decision making". Different techniques has been created for analyzing opinions towards a product, predicting elections results, studying how fake news spread through social networks. This has made the areas that work in this field very diverse: computer science, network science, social sciences, mathematical sciences, medical and biological sciences, financial, management and political sciences.

CiDReS 2018 Workshop aims the participation of researchers with interest in the use or data science techniques for knowledge extraction from social networks, to discuss models and applications. The workshop will primarily provide an interdisciplinary venue that will bring together practitioners and researchers from a variety of Data Science and Social Media fields to promote collaborations and exchange of ideas and practices. The workshop solicits experimental and theoretical works on SMA and mining along with their application to real life cases.
