Access to our Deepnote project

To view and execute our code you can access our Deepnote project or its notebooks directly:

  • Report Tables and Figures

    • This notebook produces all the figures and tables found in the report.

  • Construction of the Alternative Data

    • This project uses the Ethnologe v16 and v17 to reconstruct buffer zones used in the replication report. Due to Ethnologue's copyright, you will not be able to execute most of the notebooks as the underlying data is not available (if you have an Ethnologue license you should be able to run after changing the path to the location of Ethnologue). However, you can view how we constructed the data and each cell output. This should allow you to use similar tools and approaches for your own work.

Upgrade to Education Plan

If you created your account with a .EDU email you can access the educational benefits.

FYI, you can use your GMAIL account if you prefer in step 2 in the Step-by-step guide section. Then use your institutional email account to verify your educational status and still get the free tools and account upgrades. The only difference (as far as I can tell) is how you log in.
