Cognitive Mapping (CM) is a method specifically designed to study belief
systems as espoused by individuals or organisations and has several
advantages over other methods. The goal of `cognitivemapr` is to reduce
the initial investment currently needed to start using the method. The
functions in the package allow you to conduct a CM analysis similar to
that conducted in the following publication: Van Esch, Femke A.W.J.,
Snellens, Jeroen F.A. (2024). 'How to 'measure' Ideas. Introducing the
method of cognitive mapping to the domain of ideational policy studies'.
*Journal of European Public Policy*, 31(2), 428-451.


## Installation

You can install the development version of cognitivemapr from
[GitHub](https://github.com/) with:

``` r
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("Fesch-star/cognitivemapr")
```

## Dependencies

Installing the package (above) will install the package dependencies:

- `knitr`
- `readr`
- `rmarkdown`
- `testthat`
- `dplyr`
- `igraph`
- `tibble`

## Tutorials

Running the functions in the cognitivemapr package requires your data to
be compiled into an edge and nodelists.

-   For an instruction on the formatting requirements, see the
    'Tutorial_create_edge_nodelist'. This tutorial also provides an
    explanation on how to use the three functions in the package that
    may help you reformat your data.

-   For more information regarding the analytical functions in the
    package, please refer to the
    Tutorial_cognitivemapr_analysis_functions.


## Contributing

We are very happy with any suggestions or contributions to improve the package. Read the [contributing guidelines](/CONTRIBUTING.md) for instructions.

  Cognitive mapping is a method specifically designed to
  study belief systems

  and has several advantages over other methods. The goal of
  the package is to reduce

  the initial (time) investment needed to start using the
  method. The package provides

  several functions to conduct the type of cognitive mapping
  analysis as described

  in the article - 'How to ‘measure’ Ideas. Introducing the
  method of cognitive mapping

  to the domain of ideational policy studies’ as published
  in 2024 in the Journal

  of European Public Policy by Femke Van Esch and Jeroen
  Snellens.
