New study by @hendrik-erz.de and Manika Lamba! Where they analyze acknowledgement sections of Master- and PhD-theses to determine which support systems get acknowledged, utilizing large language models to annotate a corpus of 1200 theses between 1960 and 2021

Research article "What Does Politics & Gender Publish? Trends, Methods, and Topics in Gender and Politics Research" by Carolyn Barnett, Michael FitzGerald, Katie Krumbholz and Manika Lamba.
Abstract begins: We draw on a comprehensive dataset of metadata about journal articles substantively related to gender and politics published in 37 political science journals through the end of 2023, including Politics & Gender, to characterize and compare trends over time and the most prominent topics addressed by these journals. We show that the volume of work published by Politics & Gender has increased over time, has become increasingly quantitative in nature, and tends to focus on questions related to women running for political office and the nature of women’s political representation. These patterns closely reflect broader tendencies in the gender and politics research published by general-interest political science journals.
📣 Out on #FirstView 📣
@cbarns.bsky.social , Michael FitzGerald, @katiekrumbholz.bsky.social & @manika.bsky.social outline the trends in publishing in P&G compared to general-interest and other gender and politics journals in "What Does Politics & Gender Publish? "

Thanking the World: Exploring gender-based differences in acknowledgment patterns and support systems in theses
Research on acknowledgment sections of scientific papers has gained significant attention, but there remains a dearth of studies examining acknowledgm…
+++ PUBLICATION ALERT! +++
Together with @manika.bsky.social, I looked at acknowledgement sections of theses. Turns out that there's gender inequality here, too, with women much more often acknowledging friends and family than men. Read more in our freshly baked OPEN ACCESS article!
