R is an open-source programming language and command-based application. This language is a powerful visualization and analysis tool for data. R is primarily used for statistical analysis, so it lends itself well to text mining, particularly using the tm (text mining) package.
The Scholarly Commons has lab computers with both R and RStudio, a user-friendly graphical interface for using R. Researchers are welcome to come in and try the environment to test it out. If you'd like to try R or RStudio on your personal computer, use the links below.
