Intangible Capital and Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management have been indexed in ESCI (Thomson Reuters)

In December 2015, Thomson Reuters launched the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), which will extend the universe of publications in Web of Science to include high-quality, peer-reviewed publications of regional importance and in emerging scientific fields. ESCI will also make content important to funders, key opinion leaders, and evaluators visible in Web of Science Core Collection even if it has not yet demonstrated citation impact on an international audience. Journals in ESCI have passed an initial editorial evaluation and can continue to be considered for inclusion in products such as SCIE, SSCI, and AHCI, which have rigorous evaluation processes and selection criteria.

 

All ESCI journals will be indexed according to the same data standards, including cover-to-cover indexing, cited reference indexing, subject category assignment, and indexing all authors and addresses. Rapidly changing research fields and the rise of interdisciplinary scholarship calls for libraries to provide coverage of relevant titles in evolving disciplines. ESCI provides Web of Science Core Collection users with expanded options to discover relevant scholarly content. Get real-time insight into a journal’s citation performance while the content is considered for inclusion in other Web of Science collections. Items in ESCI are searchable, discoverable, and citable so you can measure the contribution of an article in specific disciplines and identify potential collaborators for expanded research.

Summary

Studying the social processes that give meaning to the actions we take during our free time is very important if we want to know why we make and how we produce the meaning they have for us and for others. To achieve this, it is necessary to describe and explain how leisure experience is socially constructed.

 

In this book nine research with qualitative methods are presented (ethnography of the experience of playing in virtual communities, stories of people making digital leisure activities, theories founded on data provided by opera enthusiasts, consumers of contemporary music, and museum visitors, and interpretations of the essence of the experience of watching films in cinemas and the socially located experience of watching films at home and in film theaters).

 

The report of each of the nine investigations is preceded by a chapter that introduces the reader to the qualitative methodologies used in the research presented and relates methodologies with the research. The final chapter discusses the results and describes a changing society in which the concepts of leisure and work no longer have their traditional utopian meanings. Leisure and work mix and build a heterotopic postmodern society, with all its implications.

 

This book will be of particular interest to researchers in the social sciences which intend to investigate the social construction of the leisure experience, both general entertainment and consumption of cultural expressions in particular.

 

The authors of the chapters are all researchers attached to Catalan universities.
