Does anyone have any references for interpretive social science(ish) papers that use public comments (as in a federal register) as data? Or perhaps any methods papers that address using public comments? (Have I asked this already?) TIA!
I downloaded a bunch of comments for a project @nicole_c_nelson and I are working on together... and then set them aside for more than a year now while we followed other strands. So I don't have any methods lit off hand (though Nicole might), but I have some thoughts about their quirks as data sets, and I'm curious what you're running into!
