We also find searches for female politicians more often concerned with appearance & family. doi.org/10.1177/1461...

Clearly the key application of gen AI is to help us all finally understand regular expressions.

Spread the word: #OpenQDA is available as early access. It’s a new software for #coding of #qualitative #data such as #interviews, #protocols and others. OpenQDA is clear and easy to use, you can work together as a team, extend everything via plugins - and it's #opensource. openqda.org

Okay, favorite ECREA review so far: Reviewer 2 doesn't like that our analysis focuses on non-Western countries because that is "beside the point at a European conference". 😳😳😳
