How do you control for bias in the post-doc? What exactly is "sentiment"? Is it a qualitative description, or something more analytical? Why does a future researcher care about the sentiment instead of the content itself? Or is this to better help guide other research directions?
- MichaelZuo 4y agoAs it becomes more common you could pool together the results of the sentimental analysis and try to find common agreement among dozens or hundreds. Presumably that would be close to an unbiased look. It would be helpful in the ways expressed in the article, i.e. to allow current and future researchers to see if highly cited papers are actually expressing near complete agreement or near complete disagreement, or a mixed viewpoint, at a quick glance.
