Instructions for reproducing the paper's calculations, tables and figures are contained in the files 'GrammarSocialResponsibility.html' or 'GrammarSocialResponsibility.Rmd' in the 'notebooks' folder. Using RStudio it is easy to process this file as a notebook and read as an html file to be opened and read in a browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
A somewhat processed version of the dataset is contained in the file 'docs.RDS' in the data folder. RDS files are designed for reading compressed information into R using the base 'readRDS' function. The reports used are outlined in footnote 4 in the main paper. PDF files were downloaded and read into R using the 'readtext' library. All punctuation was stripped and the text was converted to lowercase. The reports were also lemmatised, meaning that some words (plurals etc) were replaced by their roots) and included as 'docs_nostops.RDS'
