ProQuest TDM Studio

A guide to accessing ProQuest's TDM Studio

ProQuest TDM Studio

ProQuest TDM Studio allows research teams at NYU to mine large volumes of published content from the millions of pages of news, scholarly, and other publications provided to the campus community through current ProQuest subscriptions. Researchers can execute queries, develop datasets, and analyze the text of publications using TDM studio's built-in tools. 

ProQuest TDM Studio's text and data mining environment includes visualization tools and a Jupyter notebook with programming libraries and scripts for getting started; users can import or write their own scripts and packages to extend the capabilities of the platform. This tool enables researchers to analyze recent and more deeply historical scholarly publications, primary source texts in the humanities, business, public policy, public health and other scientific literature, as well as extensive recent and older U.S. and international journalism.

Please note: Data available via TDM Studio must be analyzed within the platform. Export of full text is prohibited. Be sure to review the TDM Studio Documentation for details.
