Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Knowledge Graph-enabled Research. Participatory Modelling, Collecting, Analysing, and Retracing of High School Essays in Educational History.
    by Julian Hocker, Christoph Schindler, Marc Rittberger, Marco Lorenz, Joachim Scholz, Tobias Weller, York Sure-Vetter 
    Abstract: This paper presents a knowledge graph that supports research in the community of historians of education and describes high school essays for the subject of German. Unlike established knowledge graphs that focus scholarly publications, the one presented focuses on the concrete needs of research practice and is used for interlinking historical sources like school essays, legal documents of laws, and heterogeneous types of publications for a certain period. The implementation of the knowledge graph allows researchers to analyse and retrace their work, engage in remote collaboration, and a combination of close and distant reading of texts. The explicit interlinking of sources and entities can be seen as a scholarly value chain, which can be retraced while doing research or used as an open science instrument for the research community and has been designed through a participatory approach of heterogeneous stakeholders.
