This dataset contains:
A spreadsheet titled "MA_Intervention_Studies.xlsx" containing effect size data extracted from eligible studies for the systematic review and meta-analysis.
A spreadsheet called alspac_dataset_cleanedFZ.xlsx. Cleaned and derived variables used in a longitudinal analysis from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), including father anxiety scores and child emotional/behavioural outcomes.
R scripts for conducting a multilevel random-effects meta-analysis and generating funnel and forest plots.
Date of data collection:
Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis: February 2024 – May 2025
Longitudinal Analysis (ALSPAC): ALSPAC data originally collected between 1990 and 2010; analysis performed between January – June 2025
Data were manually extracted from peer-reviewed publications identified in the systematic review using predefined inclusion criteria.
Effect sizes were calculated using standardised mean difference methods (Hedges’ g).
Composite effect sizes were computed for studies reporting multiple emotional dysregulation outcomes (e.g., anger and sadness), following Borenstein et al. (2009).
Longitudinal data from ALSPAC were accessed through approved application procedures and cleaned using R.
Software required to view/use the data:
Microsoft Excel (or compatible spreadsheet software) – for viewing and working with the dataset.
R and RStudio (with metafor, readxl, dplyr, ggplot2) – for running the analysis scripts and reproducing the meta-analysis figures.</span

Dataset supporting the thesis: Examining risk factors for anxiety disorders in children
The data were collected to examine potential risk factors for childhood anxiety disorders, with a particular focus on parenting behaviours and child outcomes. Data were obtained through structured tasks and observational methods. Research interns were trained to code the behavioural data.
Variables in this dataset include:
- Demographic information of participants
- Parenting behaviour codes (e.g., autonomy granting, controlling)
- Child feelings and performance measures (with mean, standard deviation, and range recorded)
- Child anxious behaviours (through coding of videos of children's speeches)

A systematic review and meta-analysis: paternal anxiety and the emotional and behavioral outcomes in their offspring
Objective: Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent worldwide; however, the literature lacks a meta-analytic quantification of the risk posed by fathers’ anxiety for offspring development. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide a comprehensive estimate of the magnitude of the association between paternal anxiety and emotional and behavioral problems of offspring.Method: In February 2022, Web of Science, Ovid (Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO), Trip Database, and ProQuest were searched to identify all quantitative studies that measured anxiety in fathers and emotional and/or behavioral outcomes in offspring. No limits were set for offspring age, publication language, or publication year. Summary estimates were extracted from the primary studies. Meta-analytic random-effects 3-level models were used to calculate correlation coefficients. Quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The study protocol was preregistered with PROSPERO (CRD42022311501) and adhered to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines. Results: Of 11,746 records identified, 98 were included in the meta-analysis. Small but significant associations were found between paternal anxiety and offspring emotional and behavioral problems overall (r = 0.16, 95% CI [0.13, 0.19]) and behavioral (r = 0.19, 95% CI [0.13, 0.24]), emotional (r = 0.15, 95% CI [0.12, 0.18]), anxiety (r = 0.13, 95% CI [0.11, 0.16]), and depression (r = 0.13, 95% CI [0.03, 0.23]) problems. Some significant moderators were identified. Conclusion: Paternal mental health is associated with offspring development, and the offspring of fathers with anxiety symptoms or disorders are at increased risk of negative emotional and behavioral outcomes, in line with the principles of multifinality and pleiotropy. The substantial heterogeneity among studies and the overrepresentation of White European American groups in this literature highlight the need for further research.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Promoting the mental health of children with anxious parents: a qualitative investigation of parents’ views and needs
Objective: parental anxiety is highly prevalent and is a known risk factor for mental health difficulties in children. Providing targeted support to anxious parents can represent an effective way to reduce the intergenerational transmission of mental ill-health. This study aimed to qualitatively explore what parents who have accessed an NHS talking therapy service for anxiety need from a service aimed at supporting them in minimising the potential negative impacts of parental anxiety on their preschool-aged children. Methods: semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 UK-based parents and data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: four themes were generated to summarise participants’ views: "There's just not enough support" highlighted the current lack, in England, of a service that supports anxious parents in preventing their children's mental ill-health; “It's not easy to find your way to help” explored existing and potential barriers to service access; “It's a balance” collected the characteristics of an accessible and usable service to support parents in supporting their children; and “Advertise it well” focused on strategies to facilitate promotion and access to the service. The overarching theme, “We just need more support for parents. Full stop.”, captured the urgent need for more support for anxious parents and for action to prevent child mental ill-health. Conclusions: findings provide insights on characteristics of an adequate prevention service to promote the mental health of children with anxious parents, and can help direct future research, clinical, and policy efforts towards the development of accessible and acceptable prevention programmes.</p
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
