Love Data Week '25 Research Talk: Defining and Implementing Clear, Reproducible Experiments for Empirical Humanistic Scholarship

Description

Tom Lippincott will present a research talk on "Defining and Implementing Clear, Reproducible Experiments for Empirical Humanistic Scholarship" as part of Love Data Week 2025.

The basic processes common to setting up and performing a computational study will be illustrated with a grounded historical example from Near East Studies. Starting with the fundamental, minimal tooling needs, we'll demonstrate the path from an empty directory and a command-line to a full-fledged research project. While the narration won't go deeply into the choices, each concrete step will be justified at a high level and linked to copious documentation of the relevant open-source software used. The demonstration can be used as a starting point for a new research project, or simply as a way to exercise and expand understanding of its components.
