Full text linkThis article discusses socio-cultural integration related to the concept of dignity. The aim of the article is to discuss adaptation strategies among male refugees in the Norwegian context departing from their experiences and interpretations, and to identify structural barriers which limit their action space. Work and means of breadwinning is important for the self-image and dignity of most men. However, many men with refugee background experience exclusion at different levels in the working life. The author argues that integration processes depend on structural traits outside the control of individual refugees and that exclusion forces in the labour market affect men in particular ways. In contrast to what many researchers assume, integration is more a question of possibilities and obstacles than about the minority membersâ free will or unwillingness. The analysis, which combines a phenomenological lifeworld-perspective with contrafact perspectives and official statistics, is based on perspectives from Ytrehusâs doctoral thesis
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
