Many have noted the rise of the global in academic and popular discourse. We ask how this global frame of reference has been incorporated into secondary social science textbooks, a realm traditionally dominated by nationalist discourse. Utilizing a data set from more than 500 secondary school textbooks from around the world, spanning 1970–2008, we describe the incorporation of mentions of globalization and global citizenship into textbooks over time and then use a multilevel model to determine the textbook and country-level variables associated with mentions of each. We find that globalization and global citizenship are both predicted by the textbook content's reflection of the external world, including international events and mentions of human rights. However, no cross-national economic or political differences systematically predict incorporation of these topics. We argue that mentions of globalization and global citizenship in textbooks are two manifestations of a world culture that increasingly emphasizes interconnectedness in postnational society.

I wanted to find good data about representation and diversity in literature, which brought me to the following page of the Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC): https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversity-statistics/. The following is data on books by and about Black, Indigenous and People of Color published for children and teens compiled by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center, School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

There are two .csv files in the data set. One shows books received by the CCBC from US publishers per year that are authored and/or illustrated by a Black/African/Indigenous/Asian/Pacific Islander/Latinx person, and the other shows books received by the CCBC from US publishers per year that feature a BIPOC character. Further explanation can be found at the CCBC FAQ page.

Please note that for 2018 and 2019, the below .csv represent Asian/Pacific Islander people as one column, which is how the CCBC published the data between 2002-2017. Also note that the attached data are not the entire data collected by the CCBC. The CCBC also collects books from international publishers, and since 2018, the CCBC has been publishing data about books by/about Arabs.

All data was collected by the CCBC. Please see the following page (with the complete data) about how to cite the data in your publications/blogs/notebooks: https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversity-statistics/books-by-about-poc-fnn/.

I am curious to see what sorts of visualizations people can make in exploratory analysis of this data! Also, can you predict how many BIPOC books the CCBC will receive in 2020? What happens when you study against US population data?

In a survey conducted in Japan in January 2022, more than ** percent of young people belonging to Generation Z stated that they use Twitter the most among social media when it comes to gathering information on books. Twitter was followed by Instagram and YouTube.

This collection presents in computer-readable form the data items used to produce the corresponding printed volume of the COUNTY AND CITY DATA BOOK, 1988. Included is a broad range of statistical information, made available by federal agencies and national associations, for counties, cities, and places. Information also is provided for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and for the United States as a whole. The dataset is comprised of seven files: a county file, a city file, and a place file, with footnote files and data dictionaries for both the county and the city files. The county data file contains information on areas such as age, agriculture, banking, construction, crime, education, federal expenditures, personal income, population, and vital statistics. The city data file includes variables such as city government, climate, crime, housing, labor force and employment, manufactures, retail trade, and service industries. Included in the place data file are items on population and money income.

This dataset complements the book by Gabriela Meier (University of Exeter, UK) and Simone Smala (University of Queensland, Australia):

The dataset of 285 references to peer-reviewed articles published in academic journals between 1992 and 2017 (identified systematically following the PRISMA protocol as is explained in the Chapter 3 of the book) is offered here as an EndNote Library to increase transparency and utility of the work we present, analyse and discuss in the book. It is designed to support researchers and other stakeholders to quickly and easily find literature related to themes and sub-themes, as well as by research design. The project described in the book had the aim to answer the question:

In what way are languages associated with social cohesion in academic articles?

As can be seen in the concluding chapter of the book (Chapter 5), this transdisciplinary literature review resulted in a transdisciplinary language and social cohesion framework, which is accompanied by user-friendly tools that can be used to explore the language-and-social cohesion constellation in diverse real-life contexts.

The EndNote Library available here presents the results of our systematic literature search and thematic analysis, which formed the basis of our analysis, discussion and interpretation of the data. In the EndNote Library, the articles are sorted by research design (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method research, theory articles, case studies, practice reports and literature reviews). Importantly, the EndNote Library is also sorted by the main themes (see below) and respective sub-themes, which correspond to the themes discussed in the book.

Main themes in the book (headings used in the EndNote Library):

A: Social networks and access to resources through languages (social networks and resources) B: Norms related to languages and groups (ideological orientations) C: Languages and a sense of group belonging (belonging to groups) D: Manifestation of linguistic behaviour and social cohesion (practices in education/society) E: Formal language planning and social cohesion (policy and curricula)

Abstract This article explores the Twitter performances of four platforms that publish, aggregate, and disseminate open access academic books: Scientifi c Electronic Library Online-Livros, Directory of Open Access Books, Open Access Publishing in European Networks, and OpenEdition Books. We followed these institutions’ posts on Twitter between July 8 and 18, 2019, mapping their indicators. The objectivewas to evaluate whether the observed metrics of attention and influence could increase the circulation and reach of academic books in open access, contributing to their dissemination, discovery, and evaluation. To interpret the metrics generated on Twitter, we used the statistical tools Follor.me and TweetReach, which provide analytical reports that reveal each profile’s engagement, perceptions and its actual and potential reach. After verifying these metrics, we also investigated users’ experiences and the implications of the use, aimingto understand the range of possible reactions followers had regarding the content the platforms disclosed. The results showed that the posts aimed primarily at promotion and dissemination. Followers’ manifestations, in turn, reverberate the posts through replicas and responses, maximizing the effects of use, repercussion, and influence. While that does not attest to the quality of the content, it provides important indications about the readership, helping editors identify emerging themes and evaluate strategies for the dissemination of academic books in open access.
