Cognitive Mapping (CM) is a research method used to study the beliefs held by citizens and elites. It elicits beliefs from text or via surveys or focus groups. CM analysis focusses on causal and normative relationships between concepts which are graphically represented in a semantic network. Applying the technique is complex and requires technical or coding skills. With this project we aim to create a user-friendly CM software specifically also for social scientists with limited technical and programming skills and thereby to lower the threshold for other researchers to use CM in their research, and to this in a transparent and reproducible manner.
