This paper describes a toolkit for analyzing the NIME proceedings archive, which facilitates the bibliometric study of the conference papers and the identification of trends and patterns. The toolkit is implemented as a collection of Python methods that aggregate, scrape and retrieve various meta-data from published papers. Extracted data is stored in a large numeric table as well as plain text files. Analytical functions within the toolkit can be easily extended or modified. The text mining script that can be highly customized without the need for programming. The toolkit uses only publicly available information organized in standard formats, and is available as open-source software to promote continuous development in step with the NIME archive.
