Citations in the corpus

• research with children: methodological issues and innovative techniques (2010, unknown): “Researchers might want to ask questions about issues that are pertinent and related to children’s own experiences (Scott, 2000), as young children tend to give monosyllabic answers to questions that they do not consider relevant to them (Morgan et al., 2002).”
• A Comparison of Adolescents' and Parents' Holiday Motivations and Desires (2006, background): “Indeed, Scott (2000) has stated that it is possible to gather data directly even from preschool age children.”
• Habitus and social class: a case study on socialisation into sports and exercise (2015, methodology): “In order for the children to get to know the researcher (Scott, 2000), the data collection started with assignments in class where the children made two drawing assignments, based on Christensen and James’ week tool (2000).”
• Engineering Identity Development Among Pre‐Adolescent Learners (2012, unknown): “Recent studies have challenged these claims (Scott, 2000).”
• Beyond the standard interview: the use of graphic elicitation and arts-based methods (2009, background): “In more socially-based research, drawings are usually employed with children in order to make the process of interviewing more concrete: by being good memory-aids (Scott, 2000) they allow the inclusion of even very young respondents.”
• Climate change skepticism among adolescents (2015, background): “If there is great stability in attitudes over a one-year period, this indicates that these attitudes are not only erratic momentary views (see Scott 2000 for a critique of this view of young people), but more stable components of young people’s attitude structures.”
