CATCH-EyoU Work Package 2 Dataset 2.2a - Aggregation of Literature

The data is an aggregated dataset collected from all contributing partners, and includes a bibliography, concerning Europe, youth engagement and active citizenship across the disciplines represented in the Consortium (Political Science, Sociology, History, Media and Communications, Psychology and Education).

The dataset contains reference to 770 individual texts.

It is highly unlikely that a similar aggregated bibliography exists elsewhere.

As this is new data, the reasons no suitable existing data are available is due to the breadth and scope of the aggregated dataset, which for the first time brings together literature from various disciplinary perspectives of young people and active citizenship across Europe, thus bridging a gap between previous studies that have mainly been limited to explorations of citizenship literatures within specific disciplines (and not across).

The data sources are provided via pdf document bibliography.

The data set cleans and aggregates raw bibliographic data collected by consortium members during Months 1-3 of the research study.

The aggregated literature dataset constitutes bibliographic data which can be reused by researchers who want to compare our data with similar data collected in different countries.
