Bifrost: Swedish Teacher Education (only peer-reviewed)

The following query was used:

((lärarutbildning) OR (teacher education)) AND ((sverige) OR (sweden) OR (svensk) OR (swedish)) conttype:(refereed)

In the dataset, we have an earliest publication from year 1970: Blivande lärares (åk 1-6) baskunskaper i Danmark, Finland och Sverige: 1. Kunskaper och uppfattningar om människans biologi by Palmberg, Irmeli, Jeronen, Eila, Svens, Maria, Yli-Panula, Eija, Andersson, John & Jonsson, Gunnar. Since then up to year 2025, 3782 different researchers have authored 3175 publications.

Subject categories

Explore which subject categories are represented in the dataset. Note that publications usually have several categories. Therefore, it is the rule, not the exception, that the percentages together constitute more than 100%. If x is 100% and y is 15%, it means that all publications have been categorized as x, and of them, 15% have also been categorized as y.

Level 1

Level 2

During 1970–2025, 5.3% (169 of 3 175) category assignments lack classification at this level.

Publication types

Number of scientific publications per type over years

Scientific and other publications over years

Scientific includes all publication types from the table above. Peer reviewed is marked out (red dots) if it is in the data. Other is popular science, debate articles, and the like.

Journals: peer reviewed and other scientific

Researchers

There are a total of 3782 researchers in the dataset. They are listed below, sorted by “scientific productivity”.

Co-authorship

Summary

Modularity: 0.929

Modularity is a measure of how well the network can be divided into groups. Values close to 1 indicate strong groupings, while values close to 0 suggest that the network is more cohesive without clear groups.

Mean degree: 2.8

Mean betweenness: 1378.5

Individual network statistics

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

Network statistics show central nodes in the collaboration network. Degree is the number of direct collaborations, while betweenness shows which authors act as bridges between different groups.

Note: Degree shows the number of unique collaboration partners with SwePub-ID. This may differ from ‘Co-authors, tot.’ which includes all co-authors regardless of whether they have an ID. Authors whose co-authors lack SwePub-ID have no network values.

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.

Note: 6916 collaborations with authors without SwePub-ID were filtered out (not shown in the table)

Network of co-authors

Below is a visualization of the 315 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.

Group size

Group keywords

The table is limited to a) groups with more than 3 members; b) groups with at least one keyword in any publication; c) the ten most used keywords per group.

Top 10 keywords

## Notice: The dataset contains 6426 rows. For best performance, only the 5000 with the highest frequency are displayed in the table.

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 33404 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.
