Textual and Quantitative Analysis
About
Do you work with literary, historical, or other textual sources? What about economic or geospatial datasets? Do you research organizational structures or social relationships?
If so, CDS can help you analyze your texts and data to find and then interpret any significant patterns you find.
We have decades of experience helping scholars collect, prepare, clean, and investigate their data, in both the humanities and social sciences. In addition to helping you learn and apply a variety of text or quantitative analysis approaches to your own work, we can assist you in designing and implementing an assignment for a course.
