The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Law, Computer security, Internet privacy, Politics and Public relations. Topics in Law explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Context (language use), Control (management) and Public administration. The Politics study featured in it draws connections with the study of Political economy.
Surveillance and society features Political economy research that overlaps with concepts in Authoritarianism.
The published papers tackle a plethora of topics, such as Computer security, Law, Internet privacy, Public relations and Social psychology. While Computer security is the focus of the most cited papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Emerging technologies, Data collection and Sousveillance. The most cited publications focus on Law but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Control (management), Corporate governance and Public administration.
The objective of surveillance and society is to combine knowledge in the areas of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Criminology, Pandemic, 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak and Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The research on Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Public relations, Public health, China and Democracy, Politics. China is the main point of discussion in it but it also connects with fields such as
The concepts on Corporate governance presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Home automation and Internet privacy. The studies on Politics discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Test (assessment), Situated and International development. The studies in Criminology featured incorporate elements of Discretion, Enforcement, White (horse), State (polity) and Transparency (behavior).
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in surveillance and society (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in surveillance and society (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 92.31% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 50.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 25.00% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Those who are interested in delving deeper into the complex world of surveillance and society might consider a career as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in this area. LPCs bring a unique understanding to the societal implications of surveillance and can often contribute significantly to the research produced in this field.
A career as an LPC requires obtaining a Master's Degree in Counseling, completing a significant amount of post-graduate counseling work experience, and passing a state-specific licensing exam. In California, for instance, becoming a licensed counselor involves completing 3,000 hours of post-graduate supervised experience, which can take up to two years. Once you meet all the educational and experience requirements, you will have to pass the California Law and Ethics Exam.
Becoming an LPC in the field of Surveillance and Society research opens a world of opportunities. Professionals can capitalize on their unique understanding of complex surveillance tools and the societal implications of their use, serving as consultants to legal and tech companies, educators in academic institutions, or mental health professionals advising those significantly affected by surveillance.
If you are eager to jumpstart your career in this fascinating and ever-evolving field, you can find helpful resources and guidelines on how to acquire an LPC license in California here.
Finally, remember that passion for the subject matter and a lifelong commitment to learning are crucial in the ever-evolving landscapes of Surveillance and Society studies. With the right education and licensing, you can make a substantial impact in this field.
