Literaturanalyse mit Text Mining

Abstract

Performing a systematic literature search is a central competence of scientific work and forms an integral part of current Bachelor’s and Master’s degree courses. In corresponding courses, students get familiarised with the basic tools for searching and managing literature, but the potentials of text analytical methods and application systems (text mining, text analytics) are usually not covered. As a result, the digital competencies required for system-supported analysis and processing of literature data are not sufficiently developed. In order to address this competence gap, an adequate course has been developed at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and implemented as part of a project-oriented study format. This article documents the professional and technical design of this course and shows potential for future development.
