Quantitative Analysis of Literature:

Quantitative approaches to literature represent

elements or characteristics of literary texts
numerically, applying the powerful, accurate, and
widely accepted methods of mathematics to
measurement, classification, and analysis. They
work best in the service of more traditional literary
research, but recent and current work often
necessarily concentrates much of its effort on the
development of new and improved methodologies.

Analysis of Published Journals :

There is an interactive relationship between the
publications and authors in a particular subject area.
Each publication has its editorial policy and subject
positioning. For authors, they will understand the
position of publications firstly, and then post their papers
to related publications. Through such interaction, there
will be a trend that articles in a certain field will focus on
specific publications. So from the number of published
articles, we can see that some publications issue much
more papers than other publications.
Analysis of Authors:
Analyzing an author's style involves analyzing the
writer's unique way of communicating ideas. Styles
in writing are created deliberately by the author to
convey a specific mood or effect.
Style is often aligned with pathos, since its figures of
speech are often employed to persuade through
emotional appeals. 

. Analysis of Research Content

Content analysis is a research tool used to
determine the presence of certain words, themes, or
concepts within some given qualitative data (i.e.
text). Using content analysis, researchers can
quantify and analyze the presence, meanings and
relationships of such certain words, themes, or
concepts. As an example, researchers can evaluate
language used within a news article to search for
bias or partiality. Researchers can then make
inferences about the messages within the texts, the
writer(s), the audience, and even the culture and
time of surrounding the text.
