Scripts and (sample) corpus for the analysis of the Wattpad platform (www.wattpad.com)
The Sample_wattpad_corpus.csv file contains a sample corpus (with anonymized usernames and artificially-generated comments)
In the Wattpad_network_preparation.Rmd file is the Rmarkdown to prepare the network analysis of the sample corpus (visualizations should be realized with Gephi: https://gephi.org/)
In the Wattpad_sentiment_analysis.Rmd file is the Rmarkdown for runnning sentiment analysis on the sample corpus, via the syuzhet package: https://github.com/mjockers/syuzhet
In the reverse_engineering_syuzhet.Rmd file is the Rmarkdown for evaluating the relevance of single words in generating a section of the sentiment analysis graph
All .Rmd files are accompanied by .md files (easier to read in Github).
