Description

This data supports an article titled “Methodological diversity and theoretical integration: research in design fixation as an example of fixation in research design?”. There is one explanatory document and two Comma-Separated Values (CSV) files. All files are related to the production of a citation map which is presented in the research article. The citation map is for publications related to design fixation. Those publications (texts) are cited in the accepted manuscript which can be found by following the repository link in the ‘Relationships’ section below (unfortunately those citations were removed from the published article during typesetting). Texts relevant to design fixation are represented as nodes. Edges (links) between nodes represent citations from one text to another. This work was partly supported by the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EP/K008196/1).

Software / Usage instructions

The citation map was generated by defining individual academic texts as nodes and citations between those texts as edges in a directed network. Each text in the corpus was defined as a node with the node type (indicated by colour) defined by the research method. Each citation link between texts in the network was defined as an edge (directed from citing text to cited text). A citation link between texts was defined as one edge, no matter how many times one text cited the other (due to the small dataset, the ‘direct citation’ method was used). All nodes with a degree less than two were filtered out and the node size was scaled with in-degree rank. The resulting collection of nodes and edges was drawn as a network graph using ‘Gephi’ v0.9.2 (Bastian, Heymann, & Jacomy, 2009), employing the layout algorithm ‘Force Atlas 2’ (Jacomy, Venturini, Heymann, & Bastian, 2014).
