  • A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Rural Development Research
    sustainability Review A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Rural Development Research Ying Lu * and Walter Timo de Vries Chair of Land Management, Department of Aerospace and Geodesy, Technical University of Munich (TUM), 80333 Munich, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Rural development research integrates numerous theoretical and empirical studies and has evolved over the past few decades. However, few systematic literature reviews have explored the changing landscape. This study aims to obtain an overview of rural development research by applying a bibliometric and visual analysis. In this paper, we introduce four computer-based software tools, including HistCite™, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Map and Alluvial Generator, to help with data collection, data analysis, and visualization. The dataset consists of 6968 articles of rural development research, which were downloaded from the database Web of Science. The period covers 1957 to 2020 and the analysis units include journals, categories, authors, references, and keywords. Co-occurrence and co-citation analysis are conducted, and the results are exported in the format of networks. We analyze the trends of publications and explore the discipline distribution and identify the most influential authors and articles at different times. The results show that this field of study has attracted progressively more scholars from a variety of research fields and has become multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. The changing knowledge domains of rural development research also reflect the dynamics and complexity of rural contexts. Keywords: rural development research; bibliometric analysis; visualization Citation: Lu, Y.; de Vries, W.T. A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Rural Development Research.

  • Habitus and Homeland: Educational Aspirations, Family Life and Culture in Autobiographical Narratives of Educational Experience in Rural Wales
    Habitus and Homeland: Educational Aspirations, Family Life and Culture in Autobiographical Narratives of Educational Experience in Rural Wales Sally Baker* and B.J. Brown Abstract We use the concept of habitus to illuminate the autobiographical narratives of partici- pants from disadvantaged backgrounds in mid-twentieth century rural Wales who were successful at university. The participants’ constructions of their habitus and aspirations drew upon a number of themes that intersected with their ideas of Welsh culture. Images of Welsh culture, history and national identity played a significant role in their accounts. The participants’ ‘aspirational habitus’ involved a rich blend of images and symbolic resources and a sense that they had a right to be at university. This has implications for how we conceive of habitus and its role in guiding people from rural to largely urban intellectual cultures. The participants’ experiences were made possible by virtue of the isolation of their rural communities and the corresponding significance of their social milieu, which consolidated their value system by attaching considerable significance to educational achievement. Introduction his article uses Bourdieu’s notion of ‘habitus’ to illuminate a sense of national Tculture encouraging educational aspiration. This was done through exploring the narratives of 10 participants between the ages of 49 and 72 who grew up with disadvantage in rural Wales. Their biographies demonstrate how their sense of culture, history and national identity were bound up with their success at university. Previous work investigating people who were from disadvantaged groups who accessed higher education has deployed the concept of habitus (although that term is not always used) to illuminate the sense of difference felt when the students con- trasted their own backgrounds with the atmosphere encountered in higher education (Archer and Hutchings 2000; Reay 2004a).

  • Poverty and Social Exclusion in Diversified Rural Contexts Josef Bernard Sandra Contzen Anja Decker Mark Shucksmith Rural Povert
    Poverty and social exclusion in diversified rural contexts Josef Bernard Sandra Contzen Anja Decker Mark Shucksmith Rural poverty has received relatively little attention from scholars or publics in Europe over recent decades, often regarded as secondary to more visible urban poverty. The same holds true for research in the US, despite important contributions like Tickamyer et al. (2017). Lately, however, rural poverty and other manifestations of rural disadvantage gained unexpected prominence in public debates as an urgent and provocative issue, if only for its perceived role in generating political upheaval (see Krugman, Hank or Guilluy for example). Divergencies between rural and metropolitan electoral results, support of populism in rural areas and even the rise of protest movements in the countryside on both sides of the Atlantic have prompted a renewed interest in urban-rural disparities and rural feelings of inferiority and marginalisation - feelings described in detail in Wuthnow’s The Left Behind (2018). Despite the plausibility of such upheavals deriving from a growing divide between rural and metropolitan societies, this has yet to be supported by rigorous research. Strong evidence of a new dynamic of rural-urban polarisation as a source of growing rural grievance and resentment is still missingi. This lack is one of the reasons for preparing a special issue on rural poverty and exclusion. The other reason is that exactly 15 years ago, two important publications concerning rural poverty were published: a special issue of Sociologia Ruralis on social exclusion and Milbourne’s book Rural Poverty, Marginalisation and Exclusion in Britain and the United States (2004). Both publications summarised the state of the art and proposed new research directions, building on Shucksmith and Chapman (1998).

  • Journal Rankings in Sociology
    Journal Rankings in Sociology: Using the H Index with Google Scholar Jerry A. Jacobs1 Forthcoming in The American Sociologist 2016 Abstract There is considerable interest in the ranking of journals, given the intense pressure to place articles in the “top” journals. In this article, a new index, h, and a new source of data – Google Scholar – are introduced, and a number of advantages of this methodology to assessing journals are noted. This approach is attractive because it provides a more robust account of the scholarly enterprise than do the standard Journal Citation Reports. Readily available software enables do-it-yourself assessments of journals, including those not otherwise covered, and enable the journal selection process to become a research endeavor that identifies particular articles of interest. While some critics are skeptical about the visibility and impact of sociological research, the evidence presented here indicates that most sociology journals produce a steady stream of papers that garner considerable attention. While the position of individual journals varies across measures, there is a high degree commonality across these measurement approaches. A clear hierarchy of journals remains no matter what assessment metric is used. Moreover, data over time indicate that the hierarchy of journals is highly stable and self-perpetuating. Yet highly visible articles do appear in journals outside the set of elite journals. In short, the h index provides a more comprehensive picture of the output and noteworthy consequences of sociology journals than do than standard impact scores, even though the overall ranking of journals does not markedly change. 1 Corresponding Author; Department of Sociology and Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania, 3718 Locust Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA; email: [email protected] Interest in journal rankings derives from many sources.

Publication Productivity of Czech Sociology in Scientific Journals Within the Last Decade* Josef Basl† Daniel Münich Oleg Sidorkin Institute of Sociology, ‡ Academy of Sciences of the CERGE-EI Czech Republic Abstract The paper maps publication outcomes of Czech sociologists in journals with impact factor within the last decade. The methodology we employ is similar to that used in recently published work analyzing the productivity of Czech economists. Our work is based on data from the Web of Science and covers the 1998 to 2007 period. Publication outcomes for sociology are presented within the context of the whole field of social sciences. The productivity of individual authors is based on data about published articles, impact factors of journals, and co-author shares and citations. Our analysis does not provide detailed insight on publications in another most important publication channel – scientific monographs – due to non-existence of suitable quality indicators.

  • A Surveybased Journal Ranking by Agricultural Economists
    Journal of Agricultural Economics, Vol. 62, No. 3, 2011, 710–732 doi: 10.1111/j.1477-9552.2011.00308.x Going Beyond Impact Factors: A Survey-based Journal Ranking by Agricultural Economists Roland Herrmann, Ernst Berg, Stephan Dabbert, Siegfried Po¨chtrager and Klaus Salhofer1 (Original submitted March 2010, revision received August 2010, accepted April 2011.) Abstract A consistent and comprehensive ranking of journals relevant for agricultural economists cannot rely on impact factors for at least two major reasons: (i) the scientific database by Thomson Reuters, on which the standard impact factor is based, includes only a very limited number of relevant journals; (ii) the standard impact factor cannot be compared across research fields of different sizes. Survey-based journal rankings may overcome these problems. We report on such a survey-based ranking initiated by the Agricultural Economics Associations of Germany and Austria. Results of the ranking and a classification of journals, i.e. a rating, are provided for 160 selected journals. Scientific quality is assessed by an index based on the researchers’ perception of the quality standards of each journal and of the quality of its published articles. The survey-based ranking allows a much more comprehensive and consistent ranking than the impact factor, as specific agricultural economics journals can be directly compared with neighbouring economic and interdisciplinary journals to which agricultural econo- mists submit their work. The low impact factors of core agricultural economics journals are put into perspective. The scientific quality of the top agricultural economics journals is assessed as being rather high and above most of the 1 Roland Herrmann is with the Institute of Agricultural Policy and Market Research, Univer- sity of Giessen, Germany.

  • Being a Poor Farmer in a Wealthy Country: a Swiss Case Study
    Being a poor farmer in a wealthy country: A Swiss case study Sandra Contzen* and Eric Crettaz Abstract Many Swiss farming families face socioeconomic disadvantage despite Switzerland being a wealthy country with instruments of agricultural policy financially supporting almost all farmers. However, official poverty statistics exclude Swiss farmers and scientific knowledge is rare about how such situations are experienced. This article scrutinises the situation of Swiss farming families living in poverty or material deprivation by intertwining qualitative and quantitative methods to enrich both types of data and interpretations. By statistically comparing farmers with the self-employed in other economic sectors, it uses a novel way of comparing the farming with the non- farming population. The article shows that the poverty among farmers resembles that of the self-employed with no or few employees in other economic sectors and describes the lived experiences of poverty and material deprivation. It concludes that adaptive preferences make farming families resilient to socioeconomic disadvantage, while possibly leading to a loss of their livelihood in the long run. | downloaded: 28.9.2021 Introduction overty among farming families in Western European countries is not a new Pissue. They have had to struggle for new income sources or adapt their pro- duction systems for many centuries, a fact which leads Meert et al. (2005) to de- scribe it as a chronic problem. Processes of globalisation and trade liberalisation further impact the lives of farming families. Even in a wealthy country like to- day’s Switzerland, characterised by one of the highest GDP per capita worldwide (Worldbank 2018) and median household income (OECD 2018a), and despite instruments of agricultural policy supporting almost all farmers in financial terms, poverty in faming families exists.
