Proxy failures in practice: Examples from the sociology of science (Commentary)
Sprache des Titels:
Englisch
Original Kurzfassung:
Following John et al., we provide examples of failing proxies that
might help to contextualize the role of proxy failures in applied
research. We focus on examples from the sociology of science
and illustrate how the notion of proxy failure can sharpen
applied analysis, if used in a way that does not obscure other
dysfunctional effects of proxies.
