CHNM: Scribe

Scribe, now in version 3.5, is a free note-taking program available for both PC and Mac. Aimed particularly at historians, this program allows researchers to create digital note cards for managing sources, research notes, contacts, images, glossaries, outlines, timelines and more. Furthermore, it enables organization, keyword indexing, searching, linking and cross-referencing of all entries. Entries can be entered directly or imported from online catalogues such as Amazon.com. Information entered in Scribe can be exported directly to Zotero in addition to assembling, printing or copying formatted bibliographies directly from the program. Articles can be stored directly within the program, enabling researchers to search out and highlight particular words within the text in addition to the relevant researcher notes.

RoSE

RoSE is a web-based system blending social computing with humanities bibliographical resources, enabling these resources to be explored as a social network. It incorporates data mined from YAGO and Project Gutenberg, offers profile pages for both persons and documents, keywords, and visualizations of the relationships between people and documents. Users are encouraged to contribute metadata supplementing the standard bibliographical data.

Citeline

Citeline was a tool for publishing bibliographies and citation collections on the web. It takes a BibTex file exported from Endnotes, Refworks and similar tools and turns the collection into an interactive, shareable exhibit. Citeline citation collections may also be exported in a variety of formats, such as BibTex, JSON, XML or tab-separated values.

The Citeline project has been retired, and the website is no longer available. Information about Citeline is currently only available via the Internet Archive.

Paper Machines

Paper Machines is a topic modelling and visualization tool available as a plugin for Zotero. It analyzes Zotero bibliographic collections based on a selection of text mining processes, and enables users to export a variety of visualizations, such as word clouds, phrase nets or heat maps, from the results.

Voronoi Diagram with Word Embedding
In this notebook, we will examine how to use word embedding and voronoi diagram to display the relationship between other words and a search term. Using A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens as the example (acquired from Project Gutenberg), we will showcase how the program works as well as explain different modification and steps that can be taken in the future.
