Résumé	Network text analysis represents the content of text not as counts of words or topics but as a network of concepts linked by their relationships, then applies social-network methods to reveal which ideas are central and how they connect. Centering resonance analysis (CRA), introduced by Corman and colleagues in 2002, is a leading variant that builds concept networks from the noun phrases that structure discourse.	Automated content analysis is the computational measurement of text features at a scale impossible by hand, using natural-language processing and machine learning to classify, scale, or discover the content of large corpora. Synthesized for the social sciences by Grimmer and Stewart's 2013 'Text as Data,' it spans supervised classification, unsupervised discovery, and scaling, all unified by the principle that automated methods augment but do not replace careful human judgment and validation.
