Some research projects that have used QueryPic
A Twitter thread about some of the research uses of QueryPic…
QueryPic, my tool for visualising searches in @TroveAustralia’s digitised newspapers, has been around in different forms for more than 10 years. The latest version is part of the #GLAMWorkbench: https://t.co/qnY5tVDwgY #researchinfrastructure pic.twitter.com/QyHWJwGV3u

I thought I’d highlight some of the research publications that have made use of QueryPic over the years, so, in no particular order...

There’s also a number of references to QueryPic as a tool in the DH & library literature, that I won’t list.
— Tim Sherratt (@wragge) August 29, 2021
There’s probably more – citation of tools like QueryPic can be a bit hit and miss.
The latest version of QueryPic is designed to be both easy-to-use and flexible – click a link to start it up, paste in your @TroveAustralia API key, and a search url from Trove… and bingo!

For a quick intro, see this video: https://t.co/Hh1oDIOh9a
But even though it’s easy to get started, QueryPic can do interesting things like compare queries. You can also adjust facets, date ranges, and time scales.

This video shows you how to create more complex queries: https://t.co/0CoJhO7vaJ
As I often say, not all #researchinfrastructure has to be big. A simple tool like this can help researchers see their topics in new ways.

And from this starting point, there’s all sorts of pathways to follow in the #GLAMWorkbench https://t.co/AC2tipN8eY
