Cognitive Mapping (CM) is a method specifically designed to study belief
systems as espoused by individuals or organisations and has several
advantages over other methods. The goal of `cognitivemapr` is to reduce
the initial investment currently needed to start using the method. The
functions in the package allow you to conduct a CM analysis similar to
that conducted in the following publication: Van Esch, Femke A.W.J.,
Snellens, Jeroen F.A. (2024). 'How to 'measure' Ideas. Introducing the
method of cognitive mapping to the domain of ideational policy studies'.
*Journal of European Public Policy*, 31(2), 428-451.

## Installation
You can install the development version of cognitivemapr from
[GitHub](https://github.com/) with:
``` r
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("Fesch-star/cognitivemapr")
```
## Dependencies

- `knitr`
- `readr`
- `rmarkdown`
- `testthat`
- `dplyr`
- `igraph`
- `tibble`
## Tutorials
Running the functions in the cognitivemapr package requires your data to
be compiled into an edge and nodelists.
- For an instruction on the formatting requirements, see the
'Tutorial_create_edge_nodelist'. This tutorial also provides an
explanation on how to use the three functions in the package that
may help you reformat your data.
- For more information regarding the analytical functions in the
package, please refer to the
Tutorial_cognitivemapr_analysis_functions.
