Status of open science in Kenya: Data mining

[kipkurui]

Explore the status of open science in Kenya through literature search and data mining. The idea is to analyze how open science tools have been used in research. For example, for a given period of time, we can explore how often published work in Kenya provides access to data and code. Where R has been used for data analysis, is the code provided, and through which means?

We could perform data analysis using R or Python. Tools like ContentMine could be used for this project. They have a tool for downloading papers: get papers.

Let's discuss.

We'll also explore using pubmed.mineR to perform text mining on Pubmed Abstracts. Used to extract these data by Geoffrey Siwo

This is great! I'll go through the vignette. I was intending to search for keywords associated with open science research papers i.e take a subset of a couple of papers then we cluster those as a start as well as the technologies used + text mining the content of all the papers with an app i've made + searching for trends about our keywords across the internet.

This is a good idea Ben.

NCBI has also developed a tool (https://github.com/esohkevin/OpenScienceKEHackathon/blob/master/EDirect.md) that is just as robust in text mining. It can be used to access all NCBI databases

Awesome, thanks @esohkevin and @Shuyib. I like how this is shaping up!

You got an app! awesome we definitely need to use that too even as we the others, what do you call? Some vignette?. . .
