alterlab-digital-humanities
From the author
Applies computational methods to humanities research — text mining and NLP (LDA/BERTopic topic modeling, sentiment, named entity recognition with spaCy/NLTK), corpus linguistics (concordance, collocation, keyness), digital archives (Dublin Core, TEI XML), GIS for history, network analysis, stylometry and authorship attribution, OCR (Tesseract, Kraken, Transkribus), and data visualization (Gephi, Palladio). Use when distant-reading a literary corpus, mapping historical events or trade networks, attributing disputed authorship, digitizing historical documents, or building digital scholarly editions. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- alterlab-social-science-methodsAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsGuides advanced social science research methods — discourse analysis (Fairclough CDA, Gee), conversation analysis, quantitative content analysis, Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), process tracing, archival research, participatory/community-based research (PAR, CBPR), Delphi and Q methodology, social network analysis (SNA), bibliometrics and scientometrics, systematic mapping reviews, and program/policy evaluation. Use when designing or conducting any of these studies — choosing a specialized method, building a coding scheme, establishing causal mechanisms in case studies, mapping relational or subjective data, or applying an evaluation framework. For interpretive coding (thematic analysis, grounded theory, IPA, ethnography) use alterlab-qualitative-methods; for qual+quant integration use alterlab-mixed-methods; to run QCA, SNA, or text-as-data analyses on data use alterlab-qca, alterlab-sna, or alterlab-text-as-data.

- alterlab-scientific-thinkingAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsEvaluate scientific claims and evidence quality using evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane risk-of-bias tools such as RoB 2 and ROBINS-I), assessing experimental design validity and identifying biases, confounders, statistical pitfalls, and logical fallacies. Use when judging evidence quality, grading certainty of evidence, spotting design or causal-inference flaws, identifying biases or confounders, naming statistical fallacies, or teaching critical analysis. For writing a formal submittable peer review use alterlab-peer-review; for a multi-reviewer mock panel verdict use alterlab-paper-reviewer; for IRB/consent/conflict-of-interest ethics use alterlab-research-ethics.

- alterlab-academic-careerAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsPrepares academic career documents and professional-development materials for faculty and researchers. Use when drafting academic CVs, research statements, teaching philosophies, diversity statements, faculty-position cover letters, tenure dossiers, promotion narratives, academic portfolios, or mentorship statements, and when planning conference-networking strategy, building academic web presence, setting up ORCID profiles, or understanding impact metrics.

- alterlab-qualitative-methodsAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsComprehensive qualitative research methods assistant supporting thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke), grounded theory (Strauss & Corbin; Charmaz), interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), content analysis, narrative inquiry, ethnography, case study methodology (Yin), coding techniques (open/axial/selective), NVivo-style workflows with Python alternatives, trustworthiness criteria (Lincoln & Guba), reflexivity, and member checking. Use when designing or analyzing qualitative research — thematic analysis, grounded theory, coding data, phenomenology, IPA, ethnography, case study, narrative inquiry, content analysis, qualitative coding, NVivo, trustworthiness, member checking, reflexivity, interview analysis, or focus group analysis.

- alterlab-scientific-brainstormAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsCreative research ideation and exploration for open-ended brainstorming, surfacing interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, and identifying research gaps. Use when starting early-stage research planning with no specific observations yet — for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring cross-disciplinary connections, or finding gaps. For formulating testable hypotheses from observations or data use alterlab-hypothesis-gen; for grading evidence or spotting design flaws use alterlab-scientific-thinking. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Science★ 78
- alterlab-hypothesis-genAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsFormulates structured, testable hypotheses from experimental observations using a scientific-method framework — derives predictions, proposes mechanisms, and designs experiments to test them, then renders a LaTeX report. Use when turning observations or data into falsifiable, mechanistic hypotheses, competing-explanation sets, testable predictions, or experimental designs. For a standalone systematic literature review or evidence synthesis (not a means to hypotheses) use alterlab-literature-review; for open-ended brainstorming before any specific observation use alterlab-scientific-brainstorm; to evaluate an existing manuscript use alterlab-peer-review.
