Digital Scholarship
The
UCR Library Digital Scholarship Service
supports researchers and students in integrating digital tools, methods, and technologies into their research, teaching, learning, and publishing.
We help you explore how your existing interests or projects could be transformed into digital scholarship that is interdisciplinary, interactive, community-driven, and technology-enhanced.
We help researchers and students explore and interpret research in innovative ways through
text encoding, computational text analysis, qualitative data analysis, data analysis and visualization, network analysis, storytelling, and creative coding.
We also offer support in
digital media production
, in collaboration with the
3DXP Lab
, to enhance research communication and engagement. Additionally, our services help you discover existing
open data sources
and create datasets with
web scraping
and archiving
in collaboration with our
data services
.
Text Encoding
Encode machine-readable texts for digital humanities
Computational Text Analysis
Use natural language processing methods, such as topic modeling and sentiment analysis to analyze big datasets of documents.
Qualitative Data Analysis
Use Qualitative Data Analysis tools (ATLAS.ti and others) to analyze text data qualitatively.
Data Analysis and Visualization
Transform complex datasets into simple and engaging formats often creatively, such as charts, graphs, and maps by using Python.
Network Analysis
Use graph-based analysis and visualizations to uncover relationship insights.
Storytelling
Provide interactive experiences to present research or facilitate teaching and learning using multimedia content.
