Application of the interactive Leipzig Corpus Miner as a generic research platform for the use in the social sciences
This provides a generic research platform for social scientists to combine quantitative and qualitative text analysis, but it is incremental as it builds on existing tools like R.
The paper introduces the interactive Leipzig Corpus Miner (iLCM), an open-source software for automatic content analysis in social sciences, offering a user-friendly GUI and integration with R for extensibility.
This article introduces to the interactive Leipzig Corpus Miner (iLCM) - a newly released, open-source software to perform automatic content analysis. Since the iLCM is based on the R-programming language, its generic text mining procedures provided via a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) can easily be extended using the integrated IDE RStudio-Server or numerous other interfaces in the tool. Furthermore, the iLCM offers various possibilities to use quantitative and qualitative research approaches in combination. Some of these possibilities will be presented in more detail in the following.
