Introduction

This is a Distant Reader "study carrel", a set of structured data intended to help the student, researcher, or scholar use & understand a corpus.

This study carrel was created on 2021-05-25 by Eric Morgan <emorgan@nd.edu>. The carrel was created using the Distant Reader cord process, and the input was the result of a query applied to a local mirror of CORD, a data set of scholarly articles on the topic of COVID-19. The actual query was: keywords:online. The results of this query were saved in a cache and transformed into a set of plain text files. All of the analysis -- "reading" -- has been done against these plain text files. For example, a short narrative report has been created. This Web page is a more verbose version of that report.

All study carrels are self-contained -- no Internet connection is necessary to use them. Download this carrel for offline reading. The carrel is made up of many subdirectories and data files. The manifest describes each one in greater detail.

Size

There are 32 item(s) in this carrel, and this carrel is 186,112 words long. Each item in your study carrel is, on average, 5,816 words long. If you dig deeper, then you might want to save yourself some time by reading a shorter item. On the other hand, if your desire is for more detail, then you might consider reading a longer item. The following charts illustrate the overall size of the carrel.

Word Frequencies

By merely counting & tabulating the frequency of individual words or phrases, you can begin to get an understanding of the carrel's "aboutness". Excluding "stop words", some of the more frequent words include:

online, learning, covid, study, social, students, data, education, gambling, use, also, time, pandemic, based, may, research, reviews, internet, health, one, i, face, high, access, first, well, product, self, using, analysis, communication, risk, will, teaching, new, support, studies, value, need, participants, life, however, satisfaction, impact, quality, shopping, work, model, student, two

Using the three most frequent words, the three files containing all of those words the most are “I’m not against online teaching, but what about us?”: ICT in Ghana post Covid-19, The impact of online reviews in the presence of customer returns, and E-SHOPPING changes and the state of E-grocery shopping in the U.S. evidence from national travel and time use surveys.

The most frequent two-word phrases (bigrams) include:

online learning, online reviews, social media, online pharmacies, online communication, online labour, online gambling, united states, cruise ship, mental health, social support, higher education, life satisfaction, online teaching, online shopping, big data, medical education, present study, problem gambling, grocery shopping, young children, regulated learning, online education, online examinations, online gamblers, ship employees, substance use, drinking water, social pressure, online classes, online orders, perceived social, returns policy, home delivery, refund policy, cord uid, health care, customer returns, doc id, returns policies, social presence, based learning, water quality, rogue online, online courses, sports betting, internet access, online grocery, risk gambling, gambling types

And the three file that use all of the three most frequent phrases are The impact of online reviews in the presence of customer returns Young Children’s Online Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic: Chinese Parents’ Beliefs and Attitudes, and “I’m not against online teaching, but what about us?”: ICT in Ghana post Covid-19.

While often deemed superficial or sophomoric, rudimentary frequencies and their associated "word clouds" can be quite insightful:

Keywords

Sets of keywords -- statistically significant words -- can be enumerated by comparing the relative frequency of words with the number of times the words appear in an entire corpus. Some of the most statistically significant keywords in the carrel include:

And now word clouds really begin to shine:

Topic Modeling

Topic modeling is another popular approach to connoting the aboutness of a corpus. If the study carrel could be summed up in a single word, then that word might be online, and Awaiting the Second Big Data Revolution: From Digital Noise to Value Creation is most about that word.

If the study carrel could be summed up in three words ("topics") then those words and their significantly associated titles include:

  1. online - Cross-Country Comparisons of Covid-19: Policy, Politics and the Price of Life
  2. online - Omnichannel battle between Amazon and Walmart: Is the focus on delivery the best strategy?
  3. online - Online Monitoring Technologies For Drinking Water Systems Security

If the study carrel could be summed up in five topics, and each topic were each denoted with three words, then those topics and their most significantly associated files would be:

  1. online, learning, gambling - Cross-Country Comparisons of Covid-19: Policy, Politics and the Price of Life
  2. online, learning, social - OMG, R U OK? [Image: see text]: Using Social Media to Form Therapeutic Relationships with Youth at Risk
  3. online, reviews, product - Omnichannel battle between Amazon and Walmart: Is the focus on delivery the best strategy?
  4. data, online, water - Online Monitoring Technologies For Drinking Water Systems Security
  5. online, pandemic, labour - Cybercrime in America amid COVID-19: the Initial Results from a Natural Experiment
