Cleaning Messy Text Using R: How to Get Your Data Ready for Analysis

Wed, July 22, 2020 10:00 AM - Wed, July 22, 2020 11:00 AM at Zoom

Social scientists increasingly analyze text, such as political speeches and social media posts, to understand important phenomena. Unlike many other data sources, text is usually only available in its raw form though and requires careful cleaning and processing to properly analyze it. Recent research demonstrates these steps can measurably affect results, but they are rarely discussed in research papers. This workshop will equip participants to prepare messy text for analysis.

Participants should have a working knowledge of R (functions, loops, etc.).
