Abstract

LOCO is an 88-million-token corpus of conspiracy and mainstream standalone documents (N = 96,743) gathered from 150 websites. LOCO has been built as a freely available resource to help researchers extract features, test hypotheses, and generate predictive and classification models. With its rich set of additional data (freely available at https://osf.io/snpcg), LOCO allows for the study of both the content and spread of CTs, permitting comparisons with a topic-matched corpus of mainstream documents.
