This repository comprises a part of the research I undertook for my Master's dissertation, Understanding Digital Citizens: An Analysis of Participation in Sociolinguistic Citizen Science (2025). For this piece of research, I achieved the highest grade (6.0). The purpose of this project was to explore ways of optimising participation in research projects collecting sociolinguistic data within research institutions such as the University of Lausanne.
In order to run the statistical analysis on the final dataset provided, follow the subsequent steps:
- Type the command
R Rscript data_questions.rin the terminal - Observe the output in the file
output.txt - Review the plots produced in the file
Rplots.pdf
To understand more fully the objectives and results of this study, as well as the manner in which the outputted statistics were utilised, please refer to my Master's dissertation in the file ```digital-citizens.pdf´´´, produced using LaTeX.
My thanks go to François Bavaud, Anita Auer and Aris Xanthos for supervising me and guiding me through this project.
