I thoroughly enjoyed presenting my data-driven research on late Ottoman #Arabic #Periodicals at #DigHis23. The paper introduces stylometric authorship attribution for answering the question whether editors/publishers of magazines could or should be considered the authors of the bulk of anonymous texts in their periodicals. The method relies on collaborative work with Maxim Romanov on establishing parameters for reliable authorship attribution in Arabic for the `stylo()` package in #R (#Rstats).
