Transforming legacy Research Software into Free Software: Early impressions from Participant Observation

Cortext was launched in 2008 by researchers in Science and Technology Studies. It provides computational methods for document analysis in the humanities and social sciences, serving over a thousand users across 50 countries each year, with roughly 44,000 analyses, most of which are carried out through the Cortext Manager application. This package gathers the raw data from the analysis and metric collection before and after the refactoring of the Corpus Explorer method of the Cortext platform. This method is responsible for filtering database tables selected by users and generating visualizations of the filtered content.Cortext平台于2008年由科学与技术研究（Science and Technology Studies）领域的研究者推出。其可为人文与社会科学领域的文档分析提供计算方法，每年为50余个国家的千余名用户提供服务，累计完成约4.4万次分析任务，其中绝大多数通过Cortext Manager应用完成。 本数据集套件收集了Cortext平台语料库探索器（Corpus Explorer）方法重构前后的分析与指标采集原始数据。该方法负责对用户选定的数据库表进行筛选，并为筛选后的内容生成可视化结果。
