Dissertation Code

By Jarai Carter, 2019

Introduction

This R code was used for the text analysis I performed on Facebook data collected for my dissertation titled USE OF AND INFORMATION SEEKING BEHAVIORS ON FACEBOOK AMONG ILLINOIS FARMERS AND FARM FAMILIES. In this analysis, the text was cleaned, word and bigram frequencies were calculated, and tf-idf scores were calculated for words. The results were then visualized. To see the results of this analysis, you can read my dissertation (open access) located at this link here.
