New study by @hendrik-erz.de and Manika Lamba! Where they analyze acknowledgement sections of Master- and PhD-theses to determine which support systems get acknowledged, utilizing large language models to annotate a corpus of 1200 theses between 1960 and 2021 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📣 Out on #FirstView 📣 @cbarns.bsky.social , Michael FitzGerald, @katiekrumbholz.bsky.social & @manika.bsky.social outline the trends in publishing in P&G compared to general-interest and other gender and politics journals in "What Does Politics & Gender Publish? " tinyurl.com/ym7ra5z4

+++ PUBLICATION ALERT! +++ Together with @manika.bsky.social, I looked at acknowledgement sections of theses. Turns out that there's gender inequality here, too, with women much more often acknowledging friends and family than men. Read more in our freshly baked OPEN ACCESS article!

Great to see not one but *two* outstanding UIUC iSchool colleagues on the ballot for @ach.bsky.social Exec! Thanks to both @wenyishang.bsky.social and @manika.bsky.social for accepting nominations. There are a few more hours to vote if you're an ACH member, so hop to it!
