Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This paper initially describes the part content analysis can play in providing a new means of gaining knowledge about software engineers and software engineering. A miniature example study is described that serves to illustrate how content analysis can be applied to produce longitudinal quantitative data from the relatively rich yet under- exploited source of Usenet newsgroups.
