This pioneering book teaches readers to use R within four core analytical areas applicable to the Humanities: networks, text, geospatial data, and images. This book is also designed to be a bridge: between quantitative and qualitative methods, individual and collaborative work, and the humanities and social scientists. Exploring Humanities Data Types with R does not presuppose background programming experience. Early chapters take readers from R set-up to exploratory data analysis (continuous and categorical data, multivariate analysis, and advanced graphics with emphasis on aesthetics and facility). Everything is hands-on: networks are explained using U.S. Supreme Court opinions, and low-level NLP methods are applied to short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The book's data, code, appendix with 100 basic programming exercises and solutions, and dedicated website are valuable resources for readers. The methodology will have wide application in classrooms and self-study for the humanities, but also for use in linguistics, anthropology, and political science. Outside the classroom, this intersection of humanities and computing is particularly relevant for research and new modes of dissemination across archives, museums and libraries.

This is the first book that covers analysis of all main parts of humanities data: texts, images, geospatial data, and networks. Now digital humanities finally has its perfect textbook. This is the book many of us were awaiting for years. It teaches you R (the most widely used open source data analysis platform today worldwide) using many examples. The writing is very clear, and information is organized in a logical and easy to follow manner. Whether you are just considering working with humanities data or already have experience, this is the must read book.

This book gives a concise yet broadly accessible introduction to R, through the lens of exploratory data analysis, coupled with well-planned forays into key humanities data types and their analysis -- including a nice primer on network analysis.
