The PLS database caters to the investigation of a wide range of research questions.

“Mind the context! The role of theoretical concepts for analyzing legislative text data” (Schwalbach, 2024) asses which theoretical considerations need to be carefully thought through preceding quantitative text analysis with corpora like PLS.

The article on “Comparative European legislative research in the age of large-scale computational text analysis: A review article” (Sebők et al., 2023), explores how advanced text analysis methods are revolutionizing the field of legislative research. This paper emphasises the significance of resources such as PLS in driving this transformation.

Another work, “Creating an Enhanced Infrastructure of Parliamentary Archives for Better Democratic Transparency and Legislative Research” (Kiss & Sebők, 2022), discusses the role of the PLS corpora and similar data collections in building a more robust infrastructure for legislative research.
