Tools

Clariah develops tools (software applications, services and digital infrastructure) for researchers in Humanities and part of the Social Sciences.

As a researcher you can:

Perform research tasks faster, more efficiently and more accurately
Search, edit, analyze and present large amounts of data
Pose research questions that could not be answered before, for new scholarly insights

Ineo: all our digital resources in one place

From September 2021 on, all Clariah tools will be offered through the new digital resources platform Ineo. Until then, they can be found through the resource overview page.

Who are our tools for?

Clariah develops tools that can be used by researchers from a large number of disciplines within the Humanities and Social Sciences. A good example of these are tools that allow researchers to analyze and annotate textual material, be it legal texts, plays, religious writings or tweets.

In addition, we develop tools for specific disciplines or types of research, such as linguistics, socio-economic history, media studies and research in disciplines that primarily use textual resources like literary studies, religious studies and philosophy.

Thirdly, Clariah develops facilities that enable collaboration between different scientific disciplines and their specific tools and data.

Get started with our tools

Many tools can be used by any visitor online and/or offline.
Some tools require you to log in. Researchers and students from Dutch universities and research institutions can usually log in with the account of their own organization.
Other professional users must first request access, for example due to copyright on the material within a tool or dataset.
