Introduction to Constellate for Text Analytics
In July you may have attended the Introduction to Constellate for Text Analytics webinar. The session provided an overview of how to get started with Constellate, the text analytics service from ITHAKA (JSTOR) available to University of Melbourne researchers from any discipline. Please note Constellate is suitable for people with little or no programming/coding experience, allowing analysis of text to uncover patterns, trends, or relationships.
