The use of textometry in a scientific project

Résumé

In this poster, we present the specificities of the largest French "Long Term Socio-Ecological Research" called "Rhône Basin Long Term Environmental Research Observatory" (ZABR in French). The ZABR administers a network of 300 researchers from 24 universities and research organizations, working on the Rhône River and its tributaries, and the human life settled in its catchment area. The multidisciplinary ZABR network contributes to riverine ecosystems sustainable management and restoration. Currently the question asked by the ZABR researchers is: how could we characterize the multidisciplinary aspect of the knowledge produced within this network? Publications are a valuable source of information: the content of scientific issues, their specific topics and results, and the words used to express them, reveal the founding principles of the research work. In this study, through textometrics, we characterize the way researchers consider the river. In addition to scientific and philosophical thinking driven by 15 researchers and a philosopher, we analyzed 102 publications from 2006 to 2016 related to the Rhône River and we used semantic and text analyses with Iramuteq and TMX software, to explore and visualize the vocabulary and the lexicography used in this corpus of publications. Multidisciplinarity is reflected in the vocabulary used to share knowledge across different research fields. By analyzing the publications, we take the opportunity to compare the different meanings of recurrent words from several fields, and facilitate the dialogue within the ZABR researchers' network.
