Journal Analysis Overview
- formulate theoretical motivations
- idea-spurting, coagulation of these new ideas, and producing reading lists based on these.
- time-intensive reading. readings -> motivation -> readings.
- converses with analysis, in that impractical ideas are not explored too deeply.
- converses with "conclusions" in that stuff that is known or not "interesting" / placable shouldn't be pursued.
- produces some specific steps for analysis.
- analytical moves
- building analytical skills
- when theoretically desirable next steps involve skills I don't have...
- identify the skill, and work towards acquiring that skill, and applying it to these problems
- based on (some selection of) theoretical drafts. rank these by practicality / interest & pursue.
- data, algorithms, visualization.
- produces datasheets describing the dataset and cleaned/annotated code.
- formulating conclusions
- use datasheets output from analysis to isolate results of interest
- scour the literature to place & understand the finding
- produces a final write-up
theoretical threads / questions
- tracing symbolic boundaries in sociological discourse
- restricted to theory sections?
- see the older draft at the top
- tracing consensus in sociological terminology (bstrm)
- what do the words mean?
- how is that changing / disagreed on?
- look for polysemy, and its' collapsing
- (related) look for direct contradictions, disagreements; map these
- tracing conversations over time, and the authors that participate in them here
