Over $30,000 awarded to develop smart anonymization tool that enables social scientists to access untapped textual datasets

SAGE Ocean announced today that it has awarded a Concept Grant to Text Wash, a new software tool that anonymizes personally identifiable text data, making it accessible to social scientists without compromising its usability for research.

As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer review and publication process, Sage supports the adoption of CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) on our journals. CRediT is a high-level taxonomy, including 14 roles, which is used to describe each author’s individual contributions to the work.
