Concept Builder

Define custom concepts (keyword/regex sets) and tag documents with them.

Overview

Lets you define your own concepts — named sets of keywords or regular expressions — and flags every document that matches each concept, adding one binary variable per concept. An overlap heat-map shows how concepts co-occur; clicking a concept or an overlap cell outputs the matching documents. Concept definitions can be saved to / loaded from a file for reuse.

Inputs

Data (Table) — bibliographic data.

Outputs

Data (Table) — input plus one binary column per concept.
Concept Matches (Table) — documents matching any concept.
Selected Documents (Table) — documents for the clicked concept / overlap cell.

Controls

Search in — which text field(s) concepts are matched against (Title, Abstract, Keywords, combinations).
Use regular expressions — treat concept terms as regex rather than literal phrases.
Concept name / Keywords — define a concept manually (name + its term list).
Auto apply — re-tag on every change.

Actions: Add Concept, Edit, Remove, Clear All, Load from File, Save to File, Apply Concepts.

Tips

For a ready-made public-administration scheme, use PA Concepts; for the methodology/theory schemes, use Methodology Classifier / Research Classifier.
