Analiza eksploracyjna i wizualizacja danych za pomocą pakietu ggplot2 w R, czyli podstawy cyfrowego warsztatu badacza kultury i historii

The article presents the basics of the research toolkit of the digital humanist. Digital humanities is a new research trend that has emerged in the 21st century. The main object of research of digital humanists is digital culture and digitized artifacts of the past. Digital humanists are increasingly studying large data sets – known as big data. This can include textual, media and audio data. In order for them to become the subject of cognition, they should then be converted to numerical form. ICT tools are used to study digital creations. With their help it is possible to: a) retrieve data from databases and digital archives, b) prepare them for study, c) analyse them, d) use visualization methods and prepare research reports. The paper shows examples of such research conducted using digital tools. For this purpose, the R programming language, a special development environment, were used: R Studio and the programming package: ggplot2 were used.
