Theory Research Exchange

Our vision

Theory Research Exchange (T-Rex) aims to raise scholarly productivity by building knowledge discovery systems.

Our approach is to (1) build repositories of standardized symbolic representations of social science conceptual knowledge, (2) apply and develop methods and metrics to analyze such corpora, and (3) utilize machine learning agents to assist knowledge discovery.

Tools

Codasaurus – facilitated the coding process by automatically generating Cypher code for a graph version of a publication based on researcher input, stored in a QR code for easy access and sharing. 

Analysaurus — supported advanced querying and analysis of encoded knowledge.
