What shapes the social acceptance of energy technologies?
Every claim in the abstracts of the corpus about the factors of acceptance — what enables, influences, constrains, contests or supports what — with its epistemic status, its direction, the conditions under which it holds and the excerpt that supports it.
Relation types
Hover over a type to see its definition in the coding template.
Epistemic status of the claims
Whether the abstract asserts the relation, proposes it, investigates it, denies it or reports inconclusive evidence.
Most central factors
Number of studies in which the factor takes part in a relation. Click to open it.
Studies by publication year
Study context
Only studies whose abstract states the field are counted; a study can have more than one value (two technologies, two countries). Click a value to list the studies.
Where the claims sit in the abstract (rhetorical zone)
Acceptance dimension of the factors
Wüstenhagen, Wolsink and Bürer’s triangle (community, market, socio-political), plus a technical-scientific context kept for this project. Count of factors.
Network of factors
Each node is a factor; each arrow, a relation stated in at least one abstract. Line thickness grows with the number of studies; dashed lines are hypotheses, dotted lines are open questions. Click a node for a summary; double-click to open the factor.
Themes
Broad themes that group the factors, the studies that touch each one and how the themes relate to each other.
Themes by reach — number of studies
Relations between themes
Rows: theme of the factor that acts; columns: theme of the factor that is affected. Darker cells hold more relations. Click a cell to see them.
Evidence
Every annotated excerpt, filterable by what it claims and where it sits in the abstract.
Aspects
The modal nature of the factors (Dooyeweerd’s aspects, from the most material to the most normative) crossed with themes or acceptance dimensions. Click a cell to list its factors.
