If you're not sure if a source you want to collect from exists in LexisNexis, you can search for that source in LexisNexis's directory of online sources: http://w3.nexis.com/sources/. This directory does not contain all sources in LexisNexis, however.

Enter the name of the source you want to collect. Please do not use commas in the title. It doesn't matter if the title you enter matches the "official" title in LexisNexis; we do not search using the title anyway (only the source_id). We collect the source_title so we can know what source each id corresponds to when reading and saving the results.

How to find the source id:

1. You can use Lexis Nexis's directory of online sources to find the source id for your source: http://w3.nexis.com/sources/. After searching for a publication by name and clicking through to the specific publication you want, you can find the source id in that publication's url. For example, here is the url for The New York Times entry: http://w3.nexis.com/sources/scripts/info.pl?6742. The numbers after the question mark (6742) are the source id. This id will generally be 4-6 numbers long.

2. source_id's for your source may also be listed in the "Source IDs + Geographic Info" Google sheet, which you can find in the Academic Year 2018-2019 > Queries folder: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OnrS7Wctw3wkKB77LXoB8DvNLLPz8-mkVfKtDuwH1O4/edit?usp=sharing.

3. If someone else has requested data from this source, you can also search for the id in the Collection Queries response spreadsheet, where responses to this form are stored (located here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19KBRSt8qsmyCjbqdD35NZsfrH8Ei_wU45Bf6Z2vXKDo/edit?usp=sharing).

If you do not know a source's source id, you can leave this field blank.

The following strings define keyword searches in Nexis Uni.

Option 1: a search for "humanities"

Option 2: a search for "humanity"

Option 3: a search for "liberal arts"

Option 4: a search for "the arts"

Option 5: comparison corpus -- a search for "person AND NOT humanities"

Option 6: comparison corpus -- a search for "say AND NOT humanities"

Option 7: comparison corpus -- a search for "good AND NOT humanities"

Enter your keyword_string using the "Other" option below. No quotes.

Your keyword_string must follow this format:

If the word you want is plural, like castles or unicorns:
body(plural(YOURKEYWORDHERE)) or hlead(plural(YOURKEYWORDHERE))
Ex:
body(plural(castles)) or hlead(plural(castles))

If the word you want is singular, like candy or cat:
body(singular(YOURKEYWORDHERE)) or hlead(singular(YOURKEYWORDHERE))
Ex:
body(singular(candy)) or hlead(singular(candy))

If the word or phrase you want to search for does not fit either of these patterns (i.e., it's a phrase like "arts education" or "liberal arts"), please ask Lindsay or Jeremy about how to format your query.

Filter result articles by this exact word or phrase. No quotes. This should be the SAME word or phrase you are searching for. You will get two zip folders back, one with exact matches (articles containing the result_filter string) and one with no exact matches (everything else). This is a sanity check for us.

Option 1: A search for humanities

Option 2: A search for humanity

Option 3: A search for liberal arts

Option 4: A search for the arts

* Note: This search will return 2 zip files: the exact match zip file, and the no exact match zip file. The exact match zip file will include articles containing the exact phrase "the arts," and the no exact match zip will include everything else (articles containing the word "arts" without the "the").

Please choose option 1: humanities below. This will mean that any articles containing the word "humanities" (in case one somehow gets picked up) will be placed in the "exact results" zip folder we get back from Lexis Nexis. Therefore, when we are analyzing this data, we will select all of our data from the "no-exact-results" zip folder. In other words, this is a fail-safe in our collection process.

Enter your word using the "Other" option below. Enter the exact word or phrase you are searching for. No parentheses, no quotes. Just the word or phrase.

Enter dates ONLY in the begin_date field. Leave the end_date field empty.

Follow this format exactly:
firstyear...lastyear

Ex:
1990...2017

This will return results from 1990-01-01 to 2017-12-31.

Enter dates in BOTH the begin_date AND end_dates fields.

Follow this format exactly:
YYYY-MM-DD

Ex:
begin_date: 2017-01-01
end_date: 2017-12-31

Remember that if you use exact begin and end dates, your results will come back to you packaged in ONE zip file (each zip file = one query). This makes it more difficult to combine and recombine data for other modeling projects and to share it with other projects, but this approach might make sense for your specific use case.

To begin, we are collecting all of our sources for the comparison corpus from just 1 year: 2017 (since 2017 is the year for which we have the most data in our "main" corpus). But because we are expecting a lot of results from our queries, we are only collecting three months at a time with each query. Please follow this procedure for entering begin and end dates:

Follow this format exactly for all dates:
YYYY-MM-DD

Ex:
begin_date: 2017-01-01
end_date: 2017-03-31

Please choose different 3-month timespans for each query you enter. For example, for the first query you enter, you might choose 2017-01-01 to 2017-03-31; for the second, 2017-04-01 to 2017-06-30; and for the third, 2017-07-01 to 2017-09-30.
