finnsurveytext: Analysis of Open-Ended Survey Responses in R

The finnsurveytext R package has been created to assist researchers in analysing responses to open-ended survey questions and other structured text data. The package is a user-friendly tool which supports reproducible analysis of text data including summarisation of response properties, identification of frequent words and phrases, visualisation of responses, and creation of a concept network plot. The second version of the package was released in August 2024 and includes integration with the popular survey package to enable survey design to be incorporated into the analysis. While the package was created to enable analysis of responses written in Finnish, it can also be used to analyse text in other languages.
