Co-authorship

Number of co-authored contributions

‘Co-authored texts’ indicates the number of texts the author has written together with one or more co-authors.

Most common co-authorships

The first co-author listed is the one the author has written with the most times. ‘Number’ indicates the number of co-authored texts with the author. Up to four additional co-authors are listed, in descending order of co-authorship.

Network of co-authors

Below is a visualization of the 330 different groupings in the dataset. The colors indicate different groups.

Group membership

Author names to the right; group ID to the left. You can see the size of the groups and the most common keywords of the groups in the tables that follow. A combination of search and sorting can be used to further explore group membership.

Word frequency

The frequency of individual words in the dataset as a whole. Words have been taken from title, abstract, and keywords. “Frequency” is total uses, including the number of mentions in the same text, while “publications” is the number of unique texts where the word appears.

## Notice: The dataset contains 25323 rows. For best performance, only the 8000 with the highest frequency are displayed in the table.

Word stems

Here is a summary of word stems, i.e. parts of words, in the dataset as a whole. Words have been taken from title, abstract, and keywords. “Frequency” is total uses, including the number of mentions in the same text, while “publications” is the number of unique texts where the word appears.

Theses

The first doctoral thesis in the dataset is from 1965, Samhällskunskap som skolämne: målsättningar, kursinnehåll och arbetssätt på den grundläggande skolans högstadium by Bromsjö, Birger. Between that and 2025, a total of 166 theses have been registered. Of these, 137 are doctoral theses and 29 are licentiate theses.
