Pedagogiska imperativ och sociala nätverk i svensk medborgarbildning 1812−1828

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis in the History of Education studies the pedagogization of Swedish society from 1812–1828. These ambitions were promoted by state officials and educational innovators who were tightly knit through social networks. The research questions are: Why did these individuals organize themselves the way they did in the field of education? Which practices of external communication and interaction within associations existed? Which impact did these practices of external communication and internal interaction have on the educational debate? Civic formation is analyzed through the activity or practices identified in the diffusion of useful knowledge, self-education, schools, and educational policies. Arguments for civic formation, educational imperatives, are reflected in new words and new schools. The imperatives are in part an outcome of social networking studied through affiliations to associations, newspapers and governing boards. Hence, a great number of affiliations have been organized in a new and advanced web-based application.Papers and associations were important to in dissolving feudal society, and as key ingredients for the emancipation of the middle class, they gradually gained more influence upon society. The educational reformers’ involvement in papers and societies were important for them coining new Swedish words with educational importance: it was an external communicative practice. Involvement in associations is somewhat more internal and has been studied as leading to social interaction. This interaction is studied as social capital through social network analysis. This revealed focal points on the individual level which made a significant contribution to the educational debate. These were social networks sustained by the spirit of Enlightenment and emancipation. What has long been unrecognized in the History of Education is presented as important features in this thesis through the analysis of social networks.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Swedish libraries have established a national publishing collaboration thanks to excellent university collaboration. One outcome of the higher education collaboration is that most universities in Sweden are connected to the same digital publication repository for research publications. Now innovative quality control of Open Access monographs is on our shared national agenda. The opportunities to connect appropriate researchers for reviewing manuscripts are promising.As a continuation of the final report of the project, A National Consortium for Open Academic Books in Sweden, and the ongoing European collaboration Going for Gold, Stockholm University Press (SUP), is now focusing on an efficient exchange of reviewers. Together Swedish universities are now addressing the quality control question. One of the biggest challenges we see is the recognition of merit for those involved. The poster presents how Stockholm University Press editorial boards are creating a badging system to attract high quality reviewers with the True Benefits of Peer Review. The poster visualizes (for funders) each and everyone’s contribution to knowledge production and thus to scholarly communication as a whole. The system is being implemented today in collaboration with Ubiquity Press in the United Kingdom. When asked, younger reviewers tend to show stronger interest in the model than their more experienced colleagues. The feedback in general is characterized by positive curiosity by both new and senior faculty, which we intend to nurture and cultivate.Important issues on a national level in Sweden and perhaps also at American libraries include what is the value of reviewing scholarship, what will a badge visualize for an article reviewer versus a monograph reviewer, and how do citations and web metrics affect the badge credits? These issues are currently the biggest challenges and bring up the need for and importance of international quality and format standards.Possibilities with the peer review model and standards for recognition will be addressed and discussed in a series of forums and networks on a national level in May 2014. Incentives to succeeding with the peer review model mainly come from the belief that transparency increases the quality of reviews. Those reviewers who contribute to higher quality in all parts of scholarly communication should be recognized by a sustainable and widely embraced rewarding system.We hope to gain American perspectives on this peer review model and at the same time strengthen the collaboration between American and European university libraries.
