A systematic review of down-sampling practices in corpus research

To better understand how (corpus) linguists down-sample their data, I conducted a systematic review. The report pool includes n = 6,972 research articles published between 2012 and 2024 across 20 linguistic journals. The selection of journals, which are listed in the table below, aims to cover a broad range of subdisciplines and research styles. The following table lists the number of studies in the review by journal; journals are sorted by article count.
