Publications based on the Qualitas Corpus

This page lists publications that describe studies using the Qualitas Corpus. See the official web site for an up-to-date list. Those publications listed below are those that we are aware of that are based on official releases of the corpus (reverse publication order). Please let us know if you have a publication not listed here. Those papers by the Qualitas Research Group based on the early development of the corpus are kept separately.

Publications are listed in reverse order of publication.
