    • Module One: Foundations

    • Module Two: Research Design and Basic Tools

    • Module Four: Methods From the Humanities and Social Sciences

      In this module, we provide a smorgasbord of tools and techniques for text mining and text analysis. These tools and techniques have been developed by scholars in the humanities and social sciences, and they have all proven their value in large numbers of published empirical research projects (books, journal articles, reports, etc.). We recommend you learn the fundamentals of each approach while steadily focusing in on the tools and techniques that are best suited for your own project.
