Recording: Part 1
Text analysis platforms provide researchers with the ability to search, manipulate, and explore knowledge in the scholarly record at a large scale to uncover important information and gain new insights. Text analysis can enable us to answer questions on how texts are interconnected, what sentiments they contain, and when significant terms change within a collection of unstructured texts.
In this session, we will provide an overview of text analysis and introduce the two text analysis platforms provided by the library, ProQuest TDM Studio and Constellate, By the end of the session, you will be able to differentiate teaching and research use cases between each, understand the content available, and know where to get started with a text analysis project.
In the second session, we will take a deeper dive into the platforms, by exploring pre-populated computational notebooks, completing a sample analysis, and discussing potential uses and further training opportunities. Register for part 2 here: https://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/8097736
