Discrete Choice Experiment 2: Training Preferences
No full textThis dataset presents the results from a survey administered to 342 respondents who participated in the second Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) survey conducted between December 2023 and February 2024. These participants, recruited from a longitudinal survey cohort, provided insights into their preferences and experiences regarding job search training and employment assistance programs.
The survey examined respondents' perceptions of various employment programs, including job search training, career counselling, and vocational training options. Participants evaluated the importance and satisfaction levels of these programs, as well as their outcomes in terms of skill development and re-employment opportunities. A stated preference component required respondents to choose between hypothetical job and training scenarios that varied in attributes such as course delivery mode, financial support, and expected earnings impact.
The dataset is designed to provide a nuanced understanding of labour market dynamics, highlighting preferences for job training programs with a mix of practical and classroom learning, short course durations, and financial support. Respondents exhibited strong preferences for face-to-face learning and expressed a willingness to invest in training that promised substantial future earnings growth.
This dataset captures comprehensive data on employment preferences and the perceived effectiveness of assistance programs, offering valuable insights into strategies for enhancing labour market outcomes and designing effective re-employment initiatives
Discrete Choice Experiment 1: Labour Market Preferences
No full textThis dataset presents the results from a survey administered to 309 workers retrenched from the Australian automotive industry during the industry's closures. The survey was conducted between December 2021 and February 2022 and explored workers' labour market preferences, focusing on non-pecuniary job attributes. Respondents, who previously worked in roles marked for redundancy, were asked about their employment attitudes, perceptions of training programs, and preferences for job attributes such as autonomy, skill utilisation, supervision responsibilities, and employer reputation.
Participants engaged in stated preference experiments, choosing between hypothetical jobs that varied across attributes like contract type, autonomy, and skill utilisation. The sample, reflecting a representative distribution of demographics from the 2016 Census, included both original equipment manufacturers and supply chain workers. This design provides insights into the labour market preferences of retrenched automotive workers, enhancing understanding of how job quality and meaningful work influence re-employment decisions
Wave 5 of the Longitudinal Survey of Retrenched Automotive Workers
No full textThis dataset presents the results of the Wave 5 of the Longitudinal Workers Survey of Retrenched Automotive Workers. Participants in our longitudinal workers survey had jobs which were earmarked for retrenchment leading up to the closure of assembly plants operated in Australia by General Motors Holden, Toyota Motor Company, and Ford. Participant contact information was passed on to the research team at the University of South Australia by the government partners of the project. Participants had provided consent for their details to be used for further communication as part of their engagement in retraining and transition services. All participants in Wave 5 had participated in the Wave 1 survey and in at least the Wave 2, 3 or 4 survey.
The study was developed to investigate the efficacy of private and public investments in pre-retrenchment counselling and training, by collecting data to help understand:
- Which factors affect decisions to exit or stay in the labour market;
- Which factors improve the chances of employment;
- Which factors shorten the spell of unemployment; and
- The intermittency of work careers and labour ‘branching’ processes

Participants had provided consent for their details to be used for further communication as part of their engagement in retraining and transition services. All participants in Wave 3 had participated in the Wave 1 survey and most in Wave 2 of the survey.

Participants in our longitudinal workers survey had jobs which were earmarked for retrenchment leading up to the closure of assembly plants operated in Australia by General Motors Holden, Toyota Motor Company, and Ford. Participant contact information was passed on to the research team at the University of South Australia by the government partners of the project. All participants in Wave 4 had participated in the Wave 1 survey and most in at least the Wave 2 or 3 survey.
The study was developed to investigate the efficacy of private and public investments in pre-retrenchment counselling and training, by collecting data to help understand: which factors affect decisions to exit or stay in the labour market; which factors improve the chances of employment; which factors shorten the spell of unemployment; and the intermittency of careers and labour branching processes

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
