Cassidy SugimotoCassidy R. Sugimoto, Tom and Marie Patton Chair in the School of Public Policy, co-authored an article in the Journal of Documentation. The article, titled “Versioning boundary objects: the citation profile of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM),” discusses how the DSM is cited, given that it continues to be revised and re-released.
In the article, Sugimoto and her co-authors analyze over 180,000 received by the DSM across its different versions. In doing so, they argue that the DSM should be seen as “a series of connected but distinct citable objects.” The authors hope that this will help others look at the impacts of new types of research objects, not just the typical scientific article.
