The History of Local Political Power-Some Suggestions for Analysis
In: Political studies, Volume 25, Issue 2, p. 252-269
ISSN: 0032-3217
Certain aspects of the concept of community power, which has emerged from recent research, are analyzed in historical context. Generalizations about the past location of power need to go beyond the mere analysis of officeholders' backgrounds & search for a socioeconomic elite. Such generalizations need to be tested as rigorously as those made about the present. Data on the Salford Council 1846-1970 are used to suggest a framework for comparative analysis of the political context within which nineteenth century municipal leaders operated, & by which their power was conditioned. 1 Figure.

Alternative metrics, traditional problems? Assessing gender dynamics in the altmetrics of political science
In: European Political Science
Altmetrics are an emerging form of bibliometric measurement that capture the online dimension of scholarly exchange. Against the backdrop of both a higher education landscape increasingly focused on quantifying research productivity and impact, as well as literature emphasising the need to address gender bias in the discipline, we consider whether and how altmetrics (re)produce gendered dynamics in political science. Using a novel dataset on the Altmetric Attention Scores (AAS) of political science research, we investigate two questions: Do AAS vary by gender? And how do AAS relate to gendered social media dynamics? We find that AAS reproduce gendered dynamics found in disciplinary publication and citation practices. For example, journal articles authored exclusively by female scholars score 27% lower on average than exclusively male-authored outputs. However, men are also more likely to write articles with an AAS of zero. These patterns are shaped by the presence of high-scoring male "superstars" whose research attracts much online attention. Complementing existing scholarship, we show that the AAS closely overlaps with virality dynamics on Twitter. We suggest that these gendered dynamics may be hidden behind the seemingly neutral, technical character of altmetrics, which is worrisome where they are used to evaluate scholarship.
Research Preregistration in Political Science: The Case, Counterarguments, and a Response to Critiques
In: PS: political science & politics, Volume 48, Issue 3, p. 425-429
ISSN: 1537-5935
ABSTRACTThis article describes the current debate on the practice of preregistration in political science—that is, publicly releasing a research design before observing outcome data. The case in favor of preregistration maintains that it can restrain four potential causes of publication bias, clearly distinguish deductive and inductive studies, add transparency regarding a researcher's motivation, and liberate researchers who may be pressured to find specific results. Concerns about preregistration maintain that it is less suitable for the study of historical data, could reduce data exploration, may not allow for contextual problems that emerge in field research, and may increase the difficulty of finding true positive results. This article makes the case that these concerns can be addressed in preregistered studies, and it offers advice to those who would like to pursue study registration in their own work.

Witnessing partition: memory, history, fiction
"This book interrogates representations - fiction, literary motifs, and narratives- of the Partition of India. Delving into the writings of Khushwant Singh, Balachandra Rajan, Attia Hosain, Abdullah Hussein, Rahi Masoom Raza and Anita Desai, among many others, it highlights the modes of 'fictive' testimony that sought to articulate the inarticulate - the experiences of trauma and violence, of loss and longing, and of diaspora and displacement. The author discusses representational techniques and formal innovations in writing across three generations of twentieth-century writers in India and Pakistan, invoking theoretical debates on history, memory, witnessing and trauma. With a new Afterword, the second edition of this volume draws attention to recent developments in Partition studies and sheds new light as regards ongoing debates about an event that still casts a shadow on contemporary South Asian society and culture. A key text, this is essential reading for scholars, researchers, and students of literary criticism, South Asian studies, cultural studies, modern history, and the general reader"--
