  • Football and Romanian Masculinity. How It Is Constructed by the Sport Media?
    STUDIA UBB SOCIOLOGIA, 62 (LXII), 2, 2017, pp. 79-97 DOI: 10.1515/subbs-2017-0012 FOOTBALL AND ROMANIAN MASCULINITY. HOW IT IS CONSTRUCTED BY THE SPORT MEDIA? LÁSZLÓ PÉTER1 ABSTRACT. The present article is focusing on hegemonic masculinity represented and expressed by the professional footballers. Based on the empirical study using text analysis of leading articles published in central Romanian sport newspapers I draw the ideal-typical picture of the normative model of Romanian hegemonic masculinity in which the domestic coaches play a determinant role. Their personal-individual and collective-professional features like determination, steadiness, honesty, pride, mutual respect, knowledge, tenaciousness, sense of vocation, solidarity, spirit of fighting are the corner points of the constructed Romanian manhood, or hegemonic masculinity during social change. The manliness is traced along the inner characteristic of the coaches but in strong contradiction with the foreign trainers. In this respect I can state that football is connected not only with masculinity but in some respect also with the national characteristics embodied by the Romanian coaches especially those working home. Keywords: football, hegemonic masculinity, media, discourses Introduction Football and masculinity had been connected: ball games were played by men as early as in the antiquity and in the Middle Ages. It can be assumed that the “game”, often leading to fights, hitting and affray, provided an opportunity to men to express and show their physical strength, resolution and masculine qualities to the women of the community. Playing ball games meant public/ community events, during which participant men could leave the monotonous routine of everyday life behind and could show off their masculine features to their audience.2 Team sports represent socializing frames in which competing or contesting men acquire and express the institutional and organized standards of their masculinity (Anderson, 2008).

  • Altmetric.Com and Plumx
    This is a preprint of an article published in Scientometrics. The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-021-03941-y A large-scale comparison of coverage and mentions captured by the two altmetric aggregators- Altmetric.com and PlumX Mousumi Karmakara, Sumit Kumar Banshalb, Vivek Kumar Singha,1 1Department of Computer Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India 2Department of Computer Science, South Asian University, New Delhi-110021, India. Abstract: The increased social media attention to scholarly articles has resulted in creation of platforms & services to track the social media transactions around them. Altmetric.com and PlumX are two such popular altmetric aggregators. Scholarly articles get mentions in different social platforms (such as Twitter, Blog, Facebook) and academic social networks (such as Mendeley, Academia and ResearchGate). The aggregators track activity and events in social media and academic social networks and provide the coverage and transaction data to researchers for various purposes. Some previous studies have compared different altmetric aggregators and found differences in the coverage and mentions captured by them. This paper attempts to revisit the question by doing a large-scale analysis of altmetric mentions captured by the two aggregators, for a set 1,785,149 publication records from Web of Science. Results obtained show that PlumX tracks more altmetric sources and captures altmetric events for a larger number of articles as compared to Altmetric.com. However, the coverage and average mentions of the two aggregators, for the same set of articles, vary across different platforms, with Altmetric.com recording higher mentions in Twitter and Blog, and PlumX recording higher mentions in Facebook and Mendeley.

I am the Head of Investor Relations at RELX Group. I have three things to do today. First is to welcome everybody. So, welcome, everybody. Second is just a little bit of housekeeping. If the fire alarm does go off during this presentation, you'll be leaving the way you came in. There will be people with fluorescent jackets to help you find the exit. Hopefully, that won't happen. And the final thing I need to do is to introduce the host for today's presentation, Chet Burchett, the Chief Executive of Reed Exhibitions, who is going to lead you through all we are going to cover for today. So, Chet over to you. Overview of Reed Exhibitions Chet Burchett Chief Executive Officer, Reed Exhibitions My Background Thank you, Colin. Good afternoon. As Colin notes, I am, indeed, Chet Burchett. I have been Chief Executive for Reed Exhibitions since 2015. I have been with the company for almost 14 years. I joined in February 2004 as President of North America. I came over from Burson-Marsteller, one of the WPP's global public relations agencies, where I had been serving as Chief Executive for their US business. Then, my role expanded for Reed to President of the Americas when I took on responsibility for our South American business which, at the time, was a small operation in Argentina and a few shows in Brazil.
