Tutorials
The tutorials are mostly based on castarter - Content Analysis Starter Toolkit for the R programming language, and will target users with beginner or beginner-intermediate coding skills. As the package gains new features, the tutorials will become more accessible; eventually, some of them will be accessible to users with no coding experience at all.
A draft version of the documentation for the package castarter is already available online. Both documentation and functionalities of the package will mature in the coming months.
