📜 We've got a new article out 📜

*Angst M, Müller NN, Walker V. Automated extraction of discourse networks from large volumes of media data* (open access)

doi.org/10.1017/nws.2025.4

As part of our sustainability.discourses project, we developed an automated method to gather and track discourse networks around urban sustainable mobility, based on media data.

The article describes the approach in detail and reports an evaluation of the internal validity (do we measure what we ourselves think we measure) of the pipeline.

tl;dnr: Automating discourse network data gathering can work well to capture broader tendencies. In many cases, it is likely not worth investing in automating data gathering to understand discourse however.

Want to see the daily updated pipeline in action? Check out the web apps and resources here: sustainability.discourses.ch/e

And here's is a list of journals in my field(s) that don't suck, based on my (own, possibly evolving) criteria. I hope it grows over time, it's still pretty bleak.

- #sustainability Science
- Policy Studies / Political science #polsci
- #networkscience
- #digitalization research
- #socsci methods

Please, if you know of other journals in those fields that don't suck, let me know. And if you are involved with one of the journals on these lists, thanks so much for your work, you rock. And if you need reviewing or anything I can help with, let me know.

Policies must be flexible and responsive, adjusting to evolving conditions much like navigating an evolving trajectory in a high-dimensional state space. We can’t pretend to tell this to any decision maker, at least not in these terms, and scientists worldwide struggle to do their best to bring on the tables of policy and decision makers. They must be heard: their insights must inform decision-making at every level.
