Methodological objections. The methods record exists so the reasoning can be attacked. If a resolution rule looks wrong, a threshold looks arbitrary, or a chart supports an inference it should not, I want to know. Corrections will be recorded and credited.

Errors in the data. A citation attributed to the wrong work, a passage that does not exist, a DOI that resolves somewhere unexpected. Please include the work and locus, and a link to the page where you saw it.

Journals. If you edit or publish a journal you would like represented here, please write. To be straightforward about what I can promise: the corpus came through a JSTOR Text Analysis Support agreement, so I cannot simply add titles. Expanding coverage means going back to JSTOR and to the publisher. An expression of interest from an editor carries considerably more weight in that conversation than a request from me alone, so hearing from you is genuinely useful.

Feature ideas. Some things already under consideration:

• Deep links from a passage to the text on Perseus, so a locus opens the Greek and a public-domain translation alongside the citation counts.
• Co-citation: which passages tend to be cited together in the same article.
• Coverage beyond journal articles, if the licensing can be arranged.

If something else would make this useful for your work, say so. The tool exists because passage-level questions were hard to ask, and I would rather hear which questions are still hard.

What I cannot do#

• Provide the underlying JSTOR full text. It is confidential under the delivery agreement and does not leave the local machine.
• Add journals unilaterally, as above.
• Reproduce article content. This is a finding aid; it links out to JSTOR, which is where the scholarship should be read.
