Overview lecture slides here

You can use this in several ways:

1. You might want to "clone" the entire repository and save all of the files in here locally. That's fine if you have some experience using R and R Markdown and know how to navigate the different file types contained in here.
2. Recommended for beginners: you can use the quick links below to access online versions of the content, which are more easily accessible. I suggest you then copy and paste code snippets from the online documents into your own .R scripts.

Outline of the materials

You will find in the Introduction documents an overview of how you install R and RStudio on your own devices, as well as some pointers on where to go for more help and information using these tools.

Each subsequent document is dedicated to a particular text analysis technique, as covered in the video tutorial accompanying the workshop
