The research project builds on the growing practice of data processing based on textual analysis. Through this methodology, it aims to facilitate the provision of structured analyses of online content related to conflicts in the post-Soviet area by granting access to tools and datasets on the topic. Focusing on the current conflict situation, the project seeks to gather data useful for more informed analyses of ongoing dynamics and the situation in areas of Ukraine not controlled by Kyiv, using text mining techniques. Another objective of the project is to disseminate systematic analysis methodologies of online sources in conflict contexts among researchers. In pursuing its goals, the project will produce dataset publications, technical reports, posts and short articles, presentations, and a proposal for a scientific publication on the subject. The project is funded by MAECI.
