Introduction

This is a Distant Reader "study carrel", a set of structured data intended to help the student, researcher, or scholar use & understand a corpus.

This study carrel was created on 2021-05-25 by Eric Morgan <emorgan@nd.edu>. The carrel was created using the Distant Reader cord process, and the input was the result of a query applied to a local mirror of CORD, a data set of scholarly articles on the topic of COVID-19. The actual query was: keywords:work. The results of this query were saved in a cache and transformed into a set of plain text files. All of the analysis -- "reading" -- has been done against these plain text files. For example, a short narrative report has been created. This Web page is a more verbose version of that report.

All study carrels are self-contained -- no Internet connection is necessary to use them. Download this carrel for offline reading. The carrel is made up of many subdirectories and data files. The manifest describes each one in greater detail.

Size

There are 56 item(s) in this carrel, and this carrel is 437,991 words long. Each item in your study carrel is, on average, 7,821 words long. If you dig deeper, then you might want to save yourself some time by reading a shorter item. On the other hand, if your desire is for more detail, then you might consider reading a longer item. The following charts illustrate the overall size of the carrel.

Readability

On a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is very difficult and 100 is very easy, the documents have an average readability score of 50. Consequently, if you want to read something more simplistic, then consider a document with a higher score. If you want something more specialized, then consider something with a lower score. The following charts illustrate the overall readability of the carrel.

Word Frequencies

By merely counting & tabulating the frequency of individual words or phrases, you can begin to get an understanding of the carrel's "aboutness". Excluding "stop words", some of the more frequent words include:

work, social, health, time, also, i, workers, research, working, home, covid, well, may, people, risk, one, will, new, study, data, pandemic, use, related, stress, care, life, women, job, many, human, different, based, need, analysis, studies, personal, used, age, effects, resources, burnout, information, high, however, support, among, family, economic, like, systems

Using the three most frequent words, the three files containing all of those words the most are The State of AI Ethics Report (June 2020), Governance of Occupational Safety and Health and Environmental Risks, and Personal resources and personal demands for work engagement: Evidence from employees in the service industry.

The most frequent two-word phrases (bigrams) include:

personal resources, work engagement, social work, unpaid work, job satisfaction, mental health, personal demands, career counseling, psychological distress, social support, public health, working conditions, health care, ai systems, occupational health, workplace technologies, international labour, work environment, rights reserved, future research, older workers, doc id, cord uid, risk management, social media, paid work, digital human, energy drinks, data collection, gender equality, risk assessment, systematic review, working hours, life satisfaction, united states, physical health, decent work, generational differences, social distancing, care workers, caring responsibilities, human rights, human configurations, social constructionist, related events, life balance, care work, work location, peak hour, occupational diseases

And the three file that use all of the three most frequent phrases are Personal resources and personal demands for work engagement: Evidence from employees in the service industry Characterization of Home Working Population during COVID-19 Emergency: A Cross-Sectional Analysis, and Generations and Generational Differences: Debunking Myths in Organizational Science and Practice and Paving New Paths Forward.

While often deemed superficial or sophomoric, rudimentary frequencies and their associated "word clouds" can be quite insightful:

Keywords

Sets of keywords -- statistically significant words -- can be enumerated by comparing the relative frequency of words with the number of times the words appear in an entire corpus. Some of the most statistically significant keywords in the carrel include:

work, covid-19, worker, time, social, health, home, woman, stress, safety, risk, human, care, university, system, research, productivity, people, pandemic, information, impact, global, family, digital, day, burnout, age, Žižek, zacher, wlc, willingness, wildlife, wellbeing, wave, waste, war, veterinary, variable, value, unpaid, uber, travel, technology, taiwan, surgeon, study, small, section, schor, school

And now word clouds really begin to shine:

Topic Modeling

Topic modeling is another popular approach to connoting the aboutness of a corpus. If the study carrel could be summed up in a single word, then that word might be work, and News is most about that word.

If the study carrel could be summed up in three words ("topics") then those words and their significantly associated titles include:

1. work - The State of AI Ethics Report (June 2020)
2. work - What is known about paediatric nurse burnout: a scoping review
3. work - The politics of precarity

If the study carrel could be summed up in five topics, and each topic were each denoted with three words, then those topics and their most significantly associated files would be:

1. work, health, risk - Governance of Occupational Safety and Health and Environmental Risks
2. work, data, people - The State of AI Ethics Report (June 2020)
3. work, time, social - Generations and Generational Differences: Debunking Myths in Organizational Science and Practice and Paving New Paths Forward
4. work, burnout, nurses - Informal Work and Sustainable Cities: From Formalization to Reparation
5. work, career, platform - Connecting What We Know Consciously with What We Are Aware of Subconsciously: Orientation of and Rationale for the Book

Moreover, the totality of the study carrel's aboutness, can be visualized with the following pie chart:

Noun & Verbs

Through an analysis of your study carrel's parts-of-speech, you are able to answer question beyonds aboutness. For example, a list of the most frequent nouns helps you answer what questions; "What is discussed in this collection?":

work, time, workers, health, research, people, risk, home, data, study, women, pandemic, life, stress, job, care, studies, analysis, effects, resources, age, information, use, family, systems, employees, workplace, day, burnout, factors, example, role, level, safety, number, development, gender, management, self, process, productivity, countries, results, impact, individuals, labour, case, changes, part, system

An enumeration of the verbs helps you learn what actions take place in a text or what the things in the text do. Very frequently, the most common lemmatized verbs are "be", "have", and "do"; the more interesting verbs usually occur further down the list of frequencies:

worked, using, make, includes, related, needed, taken, provides, found, based, see, increasing, give, report, show, became, associated, consider, led, identify, gone, help, creating, affect, required, followed, reduced, developed, support, suggested, understand, feel, get, changed, allowed, paid, managing, experience, perceived, existing, focus, come, means, comparing, remains, looked, involves, share, knowing, offer

Proper Nouns

An extraction of proper nouns helps you determine the names of people and places in your study carrel.

COVID-19, •, AI, Health, ILO, Work, Australia, US, Table, World, Social, International, United, PDW, University, New, Wave, Global, Research, Burnout, States, IHRM, Digital, South, ML, Labour, Apostolidis, Uber, India, Organization, Europe, sha, Stress, March, European, Time, May, Occupational, J, China, Ethics, EU, April, Workers, Human, Review, UK, Risk, Model, Institute

An analysis of personal pronouns enables you to answer at least two questions: 1) "What, if any, is the overall gender of my study carrel?", and 2) "To what degree are the texts in my study carrel self-centered versus inclusive?"

it, we, their, they, i, our, them, its, my, you, us, her, he, his, she, me, one, themselves, your, itself, ourselves, him, myself, himself, herself, yourself, oneself, 's, works/, wellthey, theirs, s, mine, homesome, hers, etc.)they, em, academia.edu

Below are words cloud of your study carrel's proper & personal pronouns.

Adjectives & Verbs

Learning about a corpus's adjectives and adverbs helps you answer how questions: "How are things described and how are things done?" An analysis of adjectives and adverbs also points to a corpus's overall sentiment. "In general, is my study carrel positive or negative?"

social, new, many, different, personal, human, high, economic, important, higher, psychological, public, significant, occupational, global, first, possible, physical, low, likely, non, unpaid, mental, individual, key, emotional, digital, current, generational, older, negative, positive, able, specific, several, organizational, daily, large, general, financial, international, various, available, greater, relevant, environmental, technical, full, common, particular
