Voyant, Kepler.gl, and Palladio are all great tools researchers should use. Voyant is especially useful to researchers who are interested in looking at patterns within their data. It can produce world clouds and frequency chart which will help you better analyze your data. In particular, Voyant was helpful in showing me words that were frequently used in interviews of former slaves. It also showed me differing aspects of the data that I had not noticed before. For instance, analyzing the data about word frequencies showed me how the interviews varied from region to region.

Kepler.gl is a great tool to use when wanting to create a map to better reflect your research. It can create a variety of maps like point map, base map, or heat map. I recommend using Kepler.gl if you desire to create a network map and especially if you want to create detailed maps which can convey important aspects of your research. For instance, I enjoyed the differing maps and specifically the time map and its display slave narratives data. The time map I created on Kepler.gl, depicted on the map when interviews of former were conducted on the map.

Palladio is also a great resource to use. It’s excellent at depicting networking of your data. It also has multiple features which you can use to examine your data in differing ways. It was helpful in depicting the networking of the former slave interview data.
Overall, Voyant, Kepler.gl, and Palladio are great tools that will help you visualize your data. They will also cause you to interact with your data in new and exciting ways.
