The above is an information-gathering question. More context from p. 33 of Lewis:
Any thoughts about the core things that Lewis has in mind here as relates to this?

Off the top of my head, one practice this could point to is "meta-analysis" or "e-Science." Since the underlying data from a given study is now more likely to be available to other researchers and available in a digital form, there is potential to combine and extrapolate from the data of multiple researchers in a way that would've previously been much more difficult. This potentially reflects the "visible" and "compound" nature of future research that he describes on page 34. Another possibility would be something like the JSTOR Labs "text analyzer": www.jstor.org/analyze/about. In their FAQ, JSTOR describes Text Analyzer as "frankly, a machine." Those are just a few quick things that came to mind, but I don't know how well they fit the context of the "later chapter" he refers to. Michael Mitchell Bethel University |

Michael, Thanks for the answers. The JSTOR "text analyzer" looks like an interesting tool to be sure (evidently, its been up as a beta product for a while now). Used it a bit myself to mixed results... I thought this gentleman's video was a nice intro to (he had a bit more success than me). Thanks again!, Nathan |
