Using <strong>dplyr<\/strong>, participants learned to organize the text by adding line numbers and identifying chapter breaks. The session then moved into text tokenization with <strong>tidytext<\/strong>, breaking down the novels into individual words to facilitate further analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/mpark\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31546\/2025\/04\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/mpark\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31546\/2025\/04\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/mpark\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31546\/2025\/04\/image.png 450w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/mpark\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31546\/2025\/04\/image-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the session, attendees explored basic text mining techniques, including word frequency analysis, and discussed potential applications of these methods in research and data-driven projects. With a mix of online and in-person participants, the workshop encouraged interactive learning and practical experimentation with R. The session concluded with an open discussion, allowing attendees to share their insights and ask questions about text analysis workflows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 25, Elena Knudsen conducted an illuminating workshop on text analysis using R, guiding participants through the fundamentals of processing and analyzing textual data.
