The data is based on NVivo content analysis of US Presidential Papers from 1993 until the end of 2013, for the period of humanitarian interventionism. The quantified textual data is then moved to StataB 18 package, and merged with data from Uppsala University's UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset (GED) Global version 24.1:

- Davies, Shawn, Garoun Engström, Therese Pettersson & Magnus Öberg (2024). Organized violence 1989-2023, and the prevalence of organized crime groups. Journal of Peace Research 61(4).

- Sundberg, Ralph and Erik Melander (2013) Introducing the UCDP Georeferenced Event Dataset. Journal of Peace Research 50(4).

Some of the word frequency calculations are from the following dataset:

- Kivimäki, T., 2019. Coding of US Presidential discourse on protection. Bath: University of Bath Research Data Archive.
