SciPop

This is the readme file for software called SciPop created by Ishika Ray, Delaney Glass, and Qiyao Liu. This software is used for identifying news articles that mention or discuss scholarly research (journal articles or DOIs) or scholars themselves. This software is ideal for researchers interested in meta-science or interested in public conversations and reports of scholarly research. The user will navigate to and upload a .csv file with three columns titled "AuthorName", "ArticleTitle", and "Article_DOI" which refers to the scholarly author name (first last), the title of the scholarly journal article, and the DOI link of the scholarly article. SciPop will use a variety of technologies (Python, pygooglenews package, and others) to compile a list of relevant google news article titles and links, exportable as a .csv.

Who Can Use SciPop?

Anyone can use SciPop, however it may be most useful to researchers and students who are studying specific topics and want to see how those topics or specific academic articles are being talked about in news media and popular culture indexed on Google News.

How To Use SciPop?
