This repository accompanies the paper "Operationalizing anthropological theory: four techniques to simplify networks of co-occurring ethnographic codes", by Cottica et al. It contains: A data file, containing networks of co-occurrence of ethnographic codes from three ethnographies. Data are pseudonymized (see the paper for details). A script that, when run on the data, produces simplified versions of each network. Simplifications follow four different techniques, described in the paper. Each technique relies on a tuning parameter, so that, for each network and each techniques, the script produces several simplified networks, each one associated with a unique value of the tuning parameter. The data file format is that of a Tulip perspective. To open, download Tulip (https://tulip.labri.fr), launch it and open the file from within the Tulip GUI. The script file is in Python. To run, open it from within the Tulip IDE first.
