Uncovering the Citation Landscape: Exploring OpenCitations COCI, OpenCitations Meta, and ERIH-PLUS in Social Sciences and Humanities Journals - DATA PRODUCED
<p>This zipped folders contain all the data produced for the research "Uncovering the Citation Landscape: Exploring OpenCitations COCI, OpenCitations Meta, and ERIH-PLUS in Social Sciences and Humanities Journals": the results datasets (dataset_map_disciplines, dataset_no_SSH, dataset_SSH, erih_meta_with_disciplines and erih_meta_without_disciplines).</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>dataset_map_disciplines.zip </strong>contains CSV files with four columns ("id", "citing", "cited", "disciplines") giving information about publications stored in OpenCitations META (version 3 released on February 2023) and part of SSH journals, according to ERIH PLUS (version downloaded on 2023-04-27), specifying the disciplines associated to them and a boolean value stating if they cite or are cited, according to the OpenCitations COCI dataset (version 19 released on January 2023).</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>dataset_no_SSH.zip </strong>and <strong>dataset_SSH.zip</strong> contain CSV files with the same structure. Each dataset has four columns: "citing", "is_citing_SSH", "cited", and "is_cited_SSH". ”Citing” and “cited” columns are filled with DOIs of publications stored in OpenCitations META that according to OpenCitations COCI are involved in a citation. The "is_citing_SSH" and "is_cited_SSH" columns contain boolean values: "True" if the corresponding publication is associated with a SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) discipline, according to ERIH PLUS, and "False" otherwise. The two datasets are built starting from the two different subsets obtained as a result of the union between OpenCitations META and ERIH PLUS: dataset_SSH comes from erih_meta_with_disciplines and dataset_no_SSH from <strong>erih_meta_without_disciplines. </strong>dataset_no_SSH comes from <strong>erih_meta_with_disciplines.zip</strong> and erih_meta_without_disciplines.zip, as explained before, contain CSV files originating from ERIH PLUS and META. erih_meta_without_disciplines has just one column “id” and contains the DOIs of all the publications in META that do not have any discipline associated, that is, have not been published on a SSH journal, while erih_meta_with_disciplines derives from all the publications in META that have at least one linked discipline and has two columns: “id” and “erih_disciplines”, containing a string with all the disciplines linked to that publication like "History, Interdisciplinary research in the Humanities, Interdisciplinary research in the Social Sciences, Sociology".</p> </li> </ul> <p>Software: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8326023</p> <p>Data preprocessed: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7973159</p> <p>Article: https://zenodo.org/record/8326044</p> <p>DMP: https://zenodo.org/record/8324973</p> <p>Protocol: https://doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.n92ldpeenl5b/v5</p>
Uncovering the Citation Landscape: Exploring OpenCitations COCI, OpenCitations Meta, and ERIH-PLUS in Social Sciences and Humanities Journals - DATA PREPROCESSED
<p>This zipped folders contain all the data preprocessed for the research "Uncovering the Citation Landscape: Exploring OpenCitations COCI, OpenCitations Meta, and ERIH-PLUS in Social Sciences and Humanities Journals": the cleaned datasets (coci_preprocessed, meta_preprocessed, erih_preprocessed and erih_meta).</p> <ul> <li> <p><strong>coci_preprocessed.zip</strong>: this archive contains CSVs with two columns “citing” and “cited”, giving information about publications involved in citations according to the OpenCitations COCI dataset (version 19 released on January 2023), and that are entirely contained in OpenCitations META (version 3 released on February 2023). This means that the citations which have either the citing or the cited entity (or both) not contained in META are excluded from coci_preprocessed dataset.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>meta_preprocessed.zip</strong>: all the original columns of OpenCitations META are maintained in this dataset, so the CSVs have the columns: “id”, “title”, “author”, “issue”, “volume”, “venue”, “page”, “pub_date”, “type”, “publisher” and “editor”. The only difference with the original dataset is that meta_preprocessed in the columns “id” and “venue” has respectively just the DOIs and the ISSNs, without all the other identifiers specified for each entity in META.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>erih_preprocessed.zip</strong>: it contains a CSV file with two columns "venue_id" and "ERIH_disciplines". "venue_id" is the union of the original columns "Online ISSN" and "Print ISSN" of ERIH_PLUS (version downloaded on 2023-04-27).</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>erih_meta.zip</strong>: it contains CSV files obtained from the union of meta_preprocessed and erih_preprocessed, they have all the columns of meta_preprocessed plus a new column “erih_disciplines” containing all the disciplines linked to a venue (identified by an ISSN).</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Software: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8326023</p> <p>Data produced: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7974816</p> <p>Article: https://zenodo.org/record/8326044</p> <p>DMP: https://zenodo.org/record/8324973</p> <p>Protocol: https://doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.n92ldpeenl5b/v5</p>
Citizen Science in the Social Sciences and Humanities
<p>The aim of the study was to develop a more integrated understanding of the extent and ways the social sciences and humanities (SSH) are represented and dealt with in current citizen science (CS) practice. To achieve this, a meta-synthesis methodology was adopted to identify and examine all related cases reported in the research literature. </p> <p>Five research questions were formulated as follows:</p> <p>1) What methodological approaches and roles of citizens are used by CS projects and activities claiming to pertain to SSH?</p> <p>2) What disciplinary fields within SSH do these CS projects encompass and what do diverse interdisciplinary synergies piece together?</p> <p>3) What are the SSH topics that have engrossed or attracted most of the interest in CS practice so far?</p> <p>4) What purposes are defined to incorporate SSH in CS projects? and</p> <p>5) What are the benefits of citizen-generated data? </p> <p>To select relevant papers two of the largest databases were opted: a) Clarivate Analytics Core Collection (Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Conference Proceeding Citation Index - Science Edition & Social Science & Humanities Edition), and b) EBSCOhost research databases.</p> <p>A combination of two keywords only was used as subject terms/topics (e.g. citizen science AND social sciences > TS=(citizen AND science) AND TS=(natural AND sciences)).</p> <p>Search results were retrieved twice, in October 2018 and in January 2019. At the pre-identification stage, 2763 records were retrieved. At the identification stage, 1244 full-text papers were included in the sample. At the screening stage, 344 full-text papers in English, Spanish and French were identified and submitted to a preliminary meta-synthesis. In total, 62 papers were selected for being relevant and providing most of the data needed.</p>

Novel Science communication – how to build public health knowledge across the social gradient. The Healthy Choices Project (WP5).
<p>Everyday life consists of hundreds of choices of which many may have an impact on our health. The citizens of the modern Nordic welfare states are in general well-educated and thus can be assumed to know what is best for them. Despite this our health care systems face an increasing burden of lifestyle related diseases and there is a difference across the social gradient. Here building public health knowledge through communication is key. The reason for people making unhealthy choices are many and can be that; they do not know what is good for them (lack information) or do not understand (lack understanding) or do not care (carelessness). However it seems likely that it is more complex than that. Maybe they do not receive the information, because gets conveyed through channels that they do not consult or maybe the format of the message does not ‘click’? Could it be, that ‘one media message or channel does not fit all’? </p> <p>Over the last decades there has been an increased focus from both scientists themselves and politicians to scientific and practical field of ‘science communication’. Consequently, various advanced modes of communicating e.g. health issues to the general populations have been developed, and today scholars of Mass Media term this development the ‘scientification’ of media. Furthermore, media and information availability has exploded since the emergence of the Internet in the early 1990s. Research has indicated that social gradient also is a factor affecting a person’s media consumption and habit. </p> <p>In the healthy choices project we aim through novel methods to learn more about these challenges and at the develop new methods of conveying public health knowledge to enable people to make healthier choices across the social gradient. We have so far built a framework for this including a science group, consisting of public health experts, and a communication group consisting of experienced science communicators. The Science group is consulted about risk factors and health endpoints and what to prioritize. Two PhD students will be involved in; 1) assessing media consumption and usage related to health issues across social classes (Low social gradient versus high social gradient) and across the generational gap (young and elderly) and 2) develop and test various media message formats for target groups including considerations of the social gradient. This project will provide new understanding on how to communicate public health messages and reduce social inequalities in health.</p> <p> </p>
Journal Selection Factors and Opinions about Open Access of Austrian Researchers in the Humanities and Social Sciences
<p>Data from the Study of Open Access Publishing Data (SOAP, http://bit.ly/ejuvKO) has been selected to explain why the uptake of Open Access publishing in the humanities and social sciences in Austria is reluctant compared to other fields. Two questions from the survey seemed to be especially relevant in this context: factors to choose a journal for publishing and general opinions about Open Access.</p>
East-African Social Sciences and Humanities Journals active in 2008-2009
<p>Research Data of „East-African Social Sciences and Humanities Publishing: A Handmade Bibliometrics Approach“, Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Science and Technology Indicators, València (Spain), September 14-16, 2016.</p> <p>Abstract of the paper: For Eastern Africa, very little information about the SSH knowledge production can be found from a European perspective. Adequate indicators like information-rich bibliographic databases that cover East-Africa-based journals and book publishers are lacking. This research in progress explores their indexing situation in detail, their development, which is closely connected to political history, their (non-)usage, and affiliations as well as career-stages of their authors. Furthermore, it also pays attention to East-Africa-based SSH researchers who use other publication venues. Any bibliometric analysis in this field needs to rely on manual data collection, otherwise it would be heavily biased. This study lays out the foundation for citation analyses, qualitative research on the publications' content and the self-description of East-African scholars against the background of an academic environment that is often described as “international”.</p>

The Title of the whole image is "Sustainability Science Papers". The twelve titles are:<br>- A new framework to organize frameworks about human-nature relations<br>- Eating meat is bad<br>- It's capitalism's fault<br>- The economists did not let me publish my degrowth stuff<br>- Turns out businesses are not as green as they claim to be<br>- Here are many different scenarios for the future. Now go cry.<br>- We went to this island and did some workhshops with fishermen and the government. They just don't get it.<br>- This anthropocene concept is mindblowing<br>- Academia sucks, that's why we wrote a paper about it<br>- A social-ecological-art-dentistry reflection on interdisciplinary challenges<br>- You say activist, I say transdisciplinarity<br>- I have a PhD in sustainability science. I still do not know what it is.</p> <p>The social media post text accompanying the image at the time was:</p> <p>"I had to make one for #sustainability science, because a) the others made me laugh a lot and b) gave me a nice unfiltered insight into some fields 😂. #TypesOfScientificPapers #AcademicTwitter <br>(btw, thx @g_levrier) https://t.co/vkaPKsvVtq"</p>
