Abstract

The dataset contains a textual corpus of references in academic literature concerning Europe, youth engagement and active citizenship. The references were searched, catalogued and summarized by CATCH-EyoU researchers in the fields of Cultural Studies, Education, History, Media and Communication, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. The analyzed literature consists of 779 selected texts. The dataset represents an integration of the CATCH-EyoU Work Package 2 Dataset 2.1a: Full Consortium Collection of Literature Matrix available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1313202. It relies on the following information: specific identifying information about the text itself (title/author/year/publisher); and abstract or summarizing information either taken directly from the text or summarized by the researcher. With respect to the CATCH-EyoU Work Package 2 Dataset 2.1a: Full Consortium Collection of Literature Matrix, the current dataset adds further information relative to each record, namely: identification number for each record; leading disciplinary field according to which the text was searched by the researchers. These integrations were used in specific lexicometric content analysis and the dataset allows its replication or further textual analyses.
