How and Why do Researchers Reference Data? A Study of Rhetorical Features and Functions of Data References in Academic Articles
AI总结:
本研究针对社会科学数据引用不规范、动机难厘清的问题,构建了涵盖数据引用实体关系、特征与功能的类型学,并通过30篇引用ICPSR存档数据的论文验证其有效性,为系统分析数据使用叙述、完善数据学术荣誉认定提供了方法支撑。
摘要:
数据再利用是社会科学领域的常见做法。尽管已发布的数据在社会科学研究产出中发挥着关键作用,但它们并未得到持续一致的引用,这使得难以评估其全部学术影响力,也难以为原始数据生产者赋予学术荣誉。此外,理解研究人员引用数据的动机可能颇具挑战性。与学术文献引用类似,数据引用承担着多种修辞功能,例如致敬、表明异议或进行比较。本文研究了研究人员在学术写作中如何以及为何引用社会科学数据。我们构建了一个类型学,用于锚定数据引用的实体之间的关系,以及这些实体的特征(可获取性、操作、位置、风格、类型)和功能(批判、描述、阐释、交互、合法化)。我们通过对引用了政治与社会研究校际联盟(ICPSR)存档的社会科学数据的多学科研究论文(n=30)进行编码,来展示该类型学的应用。我们展示了我们的类型学如何捕捉研究人员与数据的交互以及引用数据的目的。我们的类型学为记录和分析研究人员关于数据使用的叙述提供了一种系统方法,拓展了我们为支撑研究的数据赋予学术荣誉的能力。
英文摘要:
Data reuse is a common practice in the social sciences. While published data play an essential role in the production of social science research, they are not consistently cited, which makes it difficult to assess their full scholarly impact and give credit to the original data producers. Furthermore, it can be challenging to understand researchers' motivations for referencing data. Like references to academic literature, data references perform various rhetorical functions, such as paying homage, signaling disagreement, or drawing comparisons. This paper studies how and why researchers reference social science data in their academic writing. We develop a typology to model relationships between the entities that anchor data references, along with their features (access, actions, locations, styles, types) and functions (critique, describe, illustrate, interact, legitimize). We illustrate the use of the typology by coding multidisciplinary research articles (n=30) referencing social science data archived at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). We show how our typology captures researchers' interactions with data and purposes for referencing data. Our typology provides a systematic way to document and analyze researchers' narratives about data use, extending our ability to give credit to data that support research.
