New JSTOR Text Analysis Support Process Available
by Amy Kirchhoff 20 Jun '25

20 Jun '25

Hi all, Late last year, ITHAKA made the decision to sunset Constellate<https://constellate.org/docs/constellate-sunset?ref=cms-prod.constellate.org>, our text analysis platform, on July 1, 2025. While we're proud of what Constellate accomplished in advancing computational literacy and text analysis skills, we concluded that we weren't achieving the broad-scale impact we had hoped for as a nonprofit organization. However, JSTOR has long supported text analysis research and will continue to do so. We've launched JSTOR Text Analysis Support (https://www.jstor.org/ta-support) to provide researchers with access to JSTOR's full-text content for text analysis projects. We've created comprehensive documentation<https://support.jstor.org/hc/en-us/articles/32479181127575-JSTOR-Text-Analy…> and are offering a demonstration webinar, Intro to new JSTOR Text Analysis Support process: * Date and time: June 23, 2025 at 11:30 am EDT (3:30 pm GMT) * Register here<https://forms.gle/toM9G6ibTLgLavr89> For questions or assistance, just let me know. Best regards, Amy Kirchhoff -- Amy J. Kirchhoff (she/her) Senior Manager, Constellate | ITHAKA Bluesky: @amyjoankirchhoff.bsky.social<http://amyjoankirchhoff.bsky.social>

Fellows will be embedded within the interdisciplinary responsible AI community at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, and can mentor, collaborate and exchange ideas with our doctoral students and their academic supervisors. The aim of these Fellowships is to support global majority researchers and professionals to develop their research network, and to enrich the training of our doctoral students The Fellowship comes with a stipend for living expenses and travel, seeking to enable Fellows to be hosted in Edinburgh for between 2-3 months in duration.
