CDC expects the upcoming fall and winter respiratory disease season will likely have a similar or lower number of combined peak hospitalizations due to COVID-19, influenza, and RSV compared to last season. CDC will update this outlook every two months throughout the season and as warranted by changes in the trajectories of any of the three diseases.

CDC expects the upcoming fall and winter respiratory disease season will likely have a similar or lower number of combined peak hospitalizations due to COVID-19, influenza, and RSV compared to last season.

This outlook is intended to provide decision-makers with information to assist in public health preparedness for respiratory virus illnesses during the 2024-2025 fall and winter respiratory season, such as when hospitals might experience the most demand.

Our assessments are based on expert opinion, historical data, and scenario modeling conducted by the Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV. As with all long-range scenarios, there is inherent uncertainty, which we describe below.

For this seasonal outlook, CDC defined three potential scenarios for the combined peak hospitalization burden of COVID-19, influenza, and RSV for the 2024-2025 respiratory season (Table 1). We then consulted a range of CDC and external experts on COVID-19, influenza, RSV, and disease forecasting to assess the likelihood of each scenario and provide associated confidence levels. The experts estimated there's a roughly 80% chance that peak combined hospitalization burden will be similar to or lower than last season, with low confidence (Figure 1, Table 1).

Table 1. Scenarios for combined peak hospitalization burden for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV

Scenario relative to 2023-2024

Percentage change estimated by experts

Similar peak

The combined peak hospitalization burden for the 2024-2025 season will be similar (within +/- 20%) to the combined peak burden for the 2023-2024 respiratory season.

The combined peak hospitalization burden for the 2024-2025 season will be substantially lower (at least 20%) than that of the 2023-2024 respiratory season.

Higher peak

The combined peak hospitalization burden for the 2024-2025 season will be substantially higher (at least 20%) than that of the 2023-2024 respiratory season.

Factors that could lead to higher peak hospitalization rate

While we expect this season's peak hospitalization rate will be similar to or lower than last year, there is still a risk of a higher peak rate, underscoring the need to consider this possibility in planning and preparedness activities. The following factors could drive higher peak rate:

• Emergence of a new COVID-19 variant with an increased ability to evade the body's prior immunity, or a new COVID-19 variant associated with higher clinical severity.
• Predominance of an influenza subtype with more severe outcomes.
• If there is lower than projected uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine, influenza seasonal vaccine, or RSV vaccines and immunizations.
• If the updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization is lower than that of the 2023-2024 vaccine.
• If influenza seasonal vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization is lower than projected.

COVID-19 outlook

CDC projects that the peak weekly hospitalization rate due to COVID-19 will be similar to or lower than that of the 2023-2024 season A with moderate confidence. COVID-19 activity this fall and winter will depend on the progression of the ongoing summer COVID-19 wave . Therefore, we developed two different COVID-19 hospitalization burden scenarios for the 2024-2025 respiratory season to demonstrate the range of possibilities for how this season could unfold (Figure 2).

Our two scenarios are based on inferred COVID-19 weekly hospitalizations for the summer using two different surveillance systems: hospitalization data for a relatively small subset of hospitals (Scenario A) or emergency department visit data (Scenario B) B .

If COVID-19 activity continues to increase and does not peak before the start of the fall and winter respiratory virus season (October to April), modeling indicates that the wave may peak early during the respiratory season—with a peak weekly COVID-19 hospitalization rate between 7.2 and 9.7 hospitalizations per 100,000 occurring in late December (Scenario A, Figure 2). However, if the current COVID-19 summer wave peaks before the respiratory season begins, modeling suggests a second, smaller wave could occur during the respiratory season, with a peak weekly COVID-19 hospitalization rate between 4.2 and 5.8 hospitalizations per 100,000 occurring in mid-January (Scenario B, Figure 2). The peak COVID-19 hospitalization rate for both scenarios is lower than that of last season. A lower peak hospitalization burden due to COVID-19 could lead to a lower overall combined peak hospitalization burden during the 2024-2025 respiratory season.

We assumed that variants will emerge with similar properties to those that drove last winter's peak, and that the 2024-2025 vaccine will have similar uptake and performance as last year's vaccine. The potential impact of vaccination could change based on the timing and size of the winter peak. While our model can also be used to evaluate the impact of interventions such as vaccinations, given the uncertainty in the impact of the current summer wave, we chose instead to focus on these two different COVID-19 hospitalization burden scenarios for the 2024-2025 season.

Influenza outlook

CDC projects the peak hospitalization rate due to influenza will be similar to or lower than that of the 2023-2024 season rate of 8.9 weekly laboratory-confirmed hospitalizations per 100,000, with moderate confidence. However, past seasons have varied widely in the number of illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths, depending on the subtypes circulating, population immunity to different subtypes, and vaccine effectiveness against circulating subtypes.

Vaccination will play a key role in preventing hospital admissions due to influenza during the respiratory season. Experts estimate, with moderate confidence, that effectiveness of the seasonal influenza vaccine against hospitalization will likely be between 33% and 50%—within the range of vaccine effectiveness observed in recent seasons . Experts estimate the vaccine will likely be between 42% and 55% for adults 18 and older, which we have designated as low and high vaccine uptake, respectively. Assuming a vaccine effectiveness of 41% C modeling estimates that 21% of hospitalizations would be prevented with high vaccine uptake compared to a scenario without any vaccine uptake, while 16% would be prevented with low vaccine uptake.

RSV outlook

CDC projects that the peak weekly hospitalization rate across all age groups due to RSV will be similar to or lower than that of the 2023-2024 season level of 4.2 weekly laboratory-confirmed hospitalizations per 100,000, with moderate confidence. We expect the RSV season to fall within normal seasonal patterns.

Early uptake of new RSV vaccines and immunizations will play a key role in preventing hospital admissions due to RSV during the respiratory season. Experts estimate, with moderate confidence, that for older adults, effectiveness of RSV vaccination against hospitalization will likely be between 73% and 88%, and that uptake of the vaccines will likely be up to 35%. Assuming a vaccine effectiveness of 80% for adults 65 and over D , modeling indicates 25% of hospitalizations of older adults would be prevented with high vaccine uptake, compared to a scenario without any vaccine uptake, while 19% would be prevented with low vaccine uptake E .

To consider the role of immunization in preventing hospitalizations of infants less than one year old, experts estimated, with moderate confidence, effectiveness and uptake of RSV immunization (nirsevimab) and maternal RSV vaccination F . Assuming an RSV immunization effectiveness of 90% and a maternal RSV vaccination effectiveness of 64% D , modeling indicates 76% of hospitalizations of infants would be prevented with high uptake, compared to a scenario without any uptake, while 43% would be prevented with low uptake.

Key Uncertainties & Methods

Key uncertainties.

This outlook is a high-level assessment intended to provide scenarios for how the 2024-2025 respiratory season could unfold; it is not a precise forecast. We have noted several areas of uncertainty for specific diseases in sections above, including related to vaccination and circulating viral variants and subtypes. Additional uncertainties include the following:

• It is difficult to predict the size and timing of peak activity for each disease, as well as how the timing might overlap. Experts agree that some level of overlap in peak hospitalization burden may occur. These factors will affect the level of demand on the healthcare system. We note that while peak hospitalization rate is a key factor, cumulative burden can also impact hospital demand throughout the season.
• The virus that causes COVID-19 is constantly changing, and a new variant could emerge that is less effectively mitigated by immunity from past infections or from existing vaccines and treatments. COVID-19 occurs at meaningful levels throughout the year with periodic epidemics, which can vary in timing and magnitude.
• Avian influenza A (H5N1) is widespread in wild birds globally and is causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows, with several recent human cases in U.S. dairy and poultry workers. The current risk to the general public posed by the avian influenza A (H5N1) virus presently spreading in cows, poultry, and other mammals remains low .
• Particularly for RSV, estimates are less precise for the burden of illnesses and hospitalizations in past seasons which limits our ability to anticipate trends for this respiratory season. Immunization uptake is also less certain because RSV immunization for older adults, for pregnant people, and for infants and young children were recommended last year for the first time.

This outlook is based on expert opinion, historical data, and scenario modeling for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV. We have low to moderate combined confidence in our assessment.

This respiratory outlook incorporates expert opinion from 19 subject-matter experts specializing in COVID-19, influenza, and RSV epidemiology, infectious disease modeling, disease surveillance, and risk assessment methods. In partnership with Metaculus , CDC designed a questionnaire and process for soliciting views from experts on the upcoming fall and winter respiratory season. Experts each answered a series of questions on the expected hospitalization burden posed by each disease, as well as on key drivers for a season with a higher peak hospitalization rate. After experts submitted initial responses to the questionnaire, CDC and Metaculus convened a workshop to discuss results and any key areas of disagreement. Experts were then allowed to update their responses, if desired. The final results were used to inform this Respiratory Disease Season Outlook and as inputs into scenario modeling.

• Weekly hospitalization rate of 7.8 hospitalizations per 100,000 reported by COVID-NET and 10.8 hospitalizations per 100,000 reported by NHSN (Figure 2)
• NHSN data reporting requirements changed on April 27, 2024, necessitating that we infer hospitalization rates through other, indirect data sources: NSSP nationwide emergency department visits and COVID-19 hospitalization surveillance network data ( COVID-NET ) from a subset of hospitals nationwide.
• Experts were asked to estimate a 50% confidence interval for influenza vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization during the 2024-2025 respiratory season. The aggregate vaccine effectiveness estimates were calculated as the medians of the lower and upper bounds provided by experts. We used the midpoint (41%) of the median lower bound and median upper bound as an input for our scenario modeling.
• Experts were asked to estimate a 50% confidence interval for RSV vaccine effectiveness against hospitalization during the 2024-2025 respiratory season. The aggregate vaccine effectiveness estimates were calculated as the medians of the lower and upper bounds provided by experts. We used the midpoint of the median lower bound and median upper bound as an input for our scenario modeling.
• We used a vaccine uptake value of 24% for the low uptake scenario, to align with RSV vaccination uptake for older adults during the 2023-2024 respiratory season (24%).
• Experts estimate, with moderate confidence, that for infants, effectiveness of RSV immunization (nirsevimab) against hospitalization will likely be between 85% and 95%, and that uptake of immunization will likely be between 38% and 63%. In addition, experts estimate that effectiveness of maternal RSV vaccination against hospitalization for infants within 3 months of birth will likely be between 55% and 74% and that uptake of vaccination for eligible pregnant persons will be between 15% and 30%.

Objective To describe the evidence pertaining to associations between growth, maturation and injury in elite youth athletes.

Design Scoping review.

Data sources Electronic databases (SPORTDiscus, Embase, PubMed, MEDLINE and Web of Science) searched on 30 May 2023.

Eligibility criteria Original studies published since 2000 using quantitative or qualitative designs investigating associations between growth, maturation and injury in elite youth athletes.

Results From an initial 518 titles, 36 full-text articles were evaluated, of which 30 were eligible for final inclusion. Most studies were quantitative and employed prospective designs. Significant heterogeneity was evident across samples and in the operationalisation and measurement of growth, maturation and injury. Injury incidence and burden generally increased with maturity status, although growth-related injuries peaked during the adolescent growth spurt. More rapid growth in stature and of the lower limbs was associated with greater injury incidence and burden. While maturity timing did not show a clear or consistent association with injury, it may contribute to risk and burden due to variations in maturity status.

Conclusion Evidence suggests that the processes of growth and maturation contribute to injury risk and burden in elite youth athletes, although the nature of the association varies with injury type. More research investigating the main and interactive effects on growth and maturation on injury is warranted, especially in female athletes and across a greater diversity of sports.

WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC

Growth and maturation during adolescence have been identified as risk factors for potential injury in young athletes.

WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS

This review identified 30 contemporary studies. Injury incidence and burden appear most closely related to maturity status and tempo of growth, with growth-related injuries peaking during the adolescent growth spurt. Practitioners are advised to consider measures of growth and maturation alongside clinical and field-based measurements.

HOW THIS STUDY MIGHT AFFECT RESEARCH, PRACTICE OR POLICY

Several methodological limitations and inconsistencies exist in the current evidence. Greater consistency and agreement on measurement practices could benefit future research quality, with the inclusion of female and non-football populations to address large gaps in the literature.

Introduction

The relationship between growth, maturation and injury risk in youth athletes is a topic of increasing interest in sports medicine, with a particular focus on the adolescent growth spurt 1 . Initiated by changes in the endocrine system, adolescence is the transitional phase between childhood and adulthood, during which the body undergoes rapid changes in size, shape and composition. 2 It also involves transformation of the circulatory, respiratory and metabolic systems, resulting in substantial changes in athletic and functional capacity. 3 Although the processes of growth and maturation have been proposed as risk factors for injury in young athletes, the evidence to support this contention is limited. 4 Limitations within the research are, however, noted, including heterogeneity across samples, research designs and analytical methods, poor reporting quality and high loss to follow-up. 4

Associating growth and maturation with injury in youth athletes is a logical premise. 5 Physeal injuries are a unique consideration for those working with youth populations. 6 Rapid asynchronous growth in skeletal, muscular and ligamentous structures creates increased ligament stress transfer through relatively weaker physeal plates and bone layers, increasing risk for such injuries. Age-related changes in bone mineral density, imbalances between flexibility and strength and alterations in joint stiffness further contribute towards an increased susceptibility to fractures at the growth plate and apophyses. 5 7 Apophyseal and physeal injuries also follow a distal-to-proximal 8 gradient, consistent with the sequential and asynchronous nature of adolescent growth. 8 9 For example, Sever’s disease at the posterior calcaneus tends to present in advance of Osgood-Schlatter’s or Sinding-Larsen at the knee, which, in turn, present in advance of apophyseal injuries at the sites of the iliac crest and ischial tuberosity of the hip. Apophyseal injuries are attributed to the softening or malformation of the articular cartilage, the latter of which is associated with more rapid growth during adolescence. 7 From a perceptual-motor perspective, rapid and asynchronous changes in skeletal, muscular and ligamentous structures, coupled with developmental changes in neurocognitive processing, have also been linked to temporary disruptions in mobility and motor-coordination, which may further increase injury risk. 5

The introduction of injury surveillance and growth and maturation profiling systems in many elite performance pathways (eg, national athlete development programmes, professional sport academies) has afforded a more systematic and rigorous approach to monitoring physical development and health in young athletes. 10 Implemented in parallel and delivered by trained professionals and clinicians, these organised strategies have enabled the capture of high-quality longitudinal data in young athletes, stimulating further research related to growth, maturation and injury. Characterised by early specialisation and maintained elevated levels of training and competition, elite performance pathways may also provide a more conducive environment from which to observe and investigate associations between physical development and injury in youth. 1 Considering these advances, this scoping review endeavours to synthesise and expand on a previous systematic review, 4 with the aim of providing clinicians, researchers and other stakeholders with a description of contemporary research related to growth, maturation and injury in youth athletes engaged in current elite sports pathways, with a particular emphasis on the operationalisation of growth and maturation, methodological quality and assessment, sample populations, emerging evidence, knowledge gaps and limitations within the extant literature.

Equality diversity and inclusion statement

The author and article screening teams were gender-balanced and included senior and junior academic staff from multiple disciplines and professions. Articles were restricted to those published in English but were not excluded based on country of origin. Gender equity in the study of physical development and injury in young athletes is addressed in the discussion.

Information sources and search strategy

This review was commissioned by the International Olympic Committee to describe the extent, type and quality of contemporary research and evidence pertaining to growth, maturation and injury in ‘elite youth athletes’, contributing towards a consensus statement on the health, safety and sustainability of young athletes competing at the Olympic games. A definition of ‘elite youth athletes’ as ‘highly trained and invested youth athletes routinely participating at national level (Tier 3) to world-class (Tier 5) athletic competitions’ was established in advance of the review 11 12 and extended to include dancers enrolled in professional dance schools.

The search was conducted, in general, adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Reviews, PRISMA-ScR ( online supplemental figure S1 ). All 20+2 PRISMA-ScR reporting items were met, except for protocol registration. Five databases (SPORTDiscus, Embase, PubMed, MEDLINE and Web of Science) were searched for relevant articles. As the review aimed to inform a contemporary consensus statement regarding the health and well-being of elite young athletes, the article search was restricted to peer-reviewed publications written in English from 1 January 2000 to 30 May 2023. A series of unique search terms were employed to identify relevant articles. The Boolean Operators “OR” and “AND” were used to broaden the search results, define the population of interest (ie, elite youth athletes), limit the intended outcomes of our search (ie, injury) and link the search terms. An asterisk (*) was applied to some keywords to search the database for all endings of the word or phrase (eg, matur*). The final search strategy being: (1) “elite” AND “youth” AND “athlete”, (2) AND “growth” OR “matur*” OR “pubert*”, (3) AND “Injur*” OR “medial epicondyle apophysitis” OR “Proximal Humeral Epiphysitis” OR “stress fracture” OR “growth plate fracture” OR “Pars” OR “Femoroacetabular impingement” OR “apophysitis” OR “Sever’s” OR “Osgood” OR “osteochondrosis” OR “osteochondritis dissecans” OR “spondylolysis”.

Supplemental material

Eligibility criteria and description of eligible studies.

Inclusion criteria were articles based on primary research, using original data and related to elite youth athletes. To meet the definition of ‘elite’ and be included in the review, the samples within each study had to be described in a manner that aligned with the criteria for routine participation in national (Tier 3) to world-class (Tier 5) competition. 12 For example, athletes who were members of professional sports academies or national development programmes were considered to have met these criteria. Studies using quantitative designs had to include measures of injury and growth and/or maturation. Qualitative studies investigating associations between growth, maturation and injury in elite youth athletes were eligible for inclusion. Review articles and case studies were excluded. Two independent reviewers (GNP, SC) completed the review process in May 2023. Each reviewer screened the articles, first at the level of title and abstract and then at the level of full text, to judge if the eligibility criteria were met. Disagreements were resolved through discussion and final consensus.

Data synthesis

To ensure consistency in the operationalisation of growth and maturation, the following definitions were adopted. 2 Growth was defined as rate of change in size of the body, its parts, or the proportions of various parts (eg, cm per annum, kg per annum). Maturation refers to the processes of progress towards the mature state occurring in multiple biological systems (eg, endocrine, sexual, skeletal and somatic) and was defined in terms of status, tempo and timing. Status denoted the stage of maturation attained at a specific time point, (eg, pre-peak height velocity (PHV), circa-PHV, post-PHV) whereas tempo described the rate at which maturation occurs. Timing was defined as the age at which maturational events (eg, PHV) occurred and/or the degree to which an athlete was advanced, on-time or delayed in maturation relative to age-specific and sex-specific standards. The data extracted from the eligible studies were summarised descriptively ( online supplemental table S1 ) and appraised with respect to methodological quality.

Study selection

The initial search retrieved 871 citations of which 518 remained after removing duplicates. Full texts of 37 articles were reviewed to determine eligibility, 30 of which were eligible for final inclusion. The eligible articles included 28 quantitative and 2 qualitative studies ( figure 1 ).

Data collection and risk of bias assessment/analysis of quality

Descriptive data were extracted from eligible studies, comprising study design, population, measures and operationalisation of growth and maturation, and injury definition and outcomes (eg, incidence, burden) ( online supplemental table S1 ). The methodological quality of the quantitative studies (n=28), as judged on the Downs and Black Scale, 13 ranged from 7 to 19 out of 32 points ( online supplemental table S2 ). The Downs and Black Scale is a 28-item checklist used to assess the methodological quality of both randomised and non-randomised studies, evaluating factors such as reporting, external validity, internal validity (bias and confounding) and statistical power. The median quality score of these articles was low (14/32), attributable to study design and the absence of explicit explanations regarding variables of interest and consideration of confounding factors. While some articles included large samples, the distribution of participants by maturity status and/or timing categories was typically non-normal, resulting in inadequate statistical power in several studies. Most studies focused on soccer (n=19) and were exclusive to male participants (n=24). Only four quantitative studies included male and female athletes, and none considered female-only cohorts. The two qualitative papers appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist for qualitative research 14 15 both met 8 out of the 10 criteria, with each noting a failure to consider potential researcher influence on the study findings as a limitation. A breakdown of the individual item scores for each article using the Downs and Black and JBI checklists is available in online supplemental file 2 .

Maturity status and injury

17 quantitative studies 8 16–31 adopting prospective designs and two qualitative studies 32 33 investigated associations between maturity status and injury ( table 1 ). 16 of the quantitative studies 8 16–20 22–31 employed non-invasive estimates of somatic maturation with estimated age at PHV (EA PHV) (n=11) and percentage of predicted (%PAH) or attained adult height (% AAH) (n=5) the most common methods. One study used an estimate of sexual maturation to classify youth handball players as mature or immature. Wik and colleagues 30 employed estimates of both skeletal and somatic maturation in study of maturation and injury in male track and field athletes. Most studies categorised athletes into groups based on maturity status, however, five studies treated maturation as a continuous variable. 19 24 26 27 30 Samples sizes varied from n=21 24  to n=502. 17 The methodological quality of the quantitative studies ranged from poor 29 to fair. 34 Two qualitative studies 32 33 investigated coaches’ and practitioners’ perceptions of how maturational status was related to injury risk in male and female gymnasts. Both of these studies achieved JBI scores of 8 out of 10, indicating a high quality of qualitative research.

Associations between maturational status and injury for all eligible studies

The maturational stage associated with the adolescent growth spurt (ie, circa-PHV) appears to yield the greatest increase in injury incidence per 1000 hours, in papers reporting competition, training and overall time loss. When broad definitions of injury were observed, circa-PHV status was associated with greater incidences of overall, 25 non-contact 19 20 and traumatic 28 29 injuries in academy soccer, and higher incidences of all-complaint injuries in both male and female elite youth gymnasts with the peak approximating 90% PAH. 24 While the evidence suggests a general trend towards increased injury incidence and burden with advancing maturation, 16 17 21 the nature of reported associations varied relative to injury type. 8 17 Circa-PHV and pre-PHV status were associated with a higher incidence or prevalence of injuries classified as growth-related in track and field, 34 handball 21 and soccer, 8 17 but not squash. 18 Both qualitative studies also identified the growth spurt as a maturational stage where incidence and burden for growth-related and lower back injuries was greater. 32 33 Moreover, growth-related injuries followed a distal-to-proximal gradient aligned with the sequential and asynchronous nature of adolescent growth. 8 Specifically, these injuries tended to present first in the more distal segments of the lower limbs, before presenting in the more proximal segments of the lower extremities, and finally the trunk and pelvis. Consistent with this pattern, a higher probability for non-contact lower extremity injuries was observed in U13–14 soccer players during the earlier phases of the adolescent growth spurt. 26 A greater number of years to EA PHV was, however, associated with an increased probability for traumatic and overuse injuries in male and female alpine skiers. 27 Mature athletes, or those advanced in maturity status (post-PHV), exhibited the lowest incidence and burden of growth-related injuries, 8 22 23 34 yet evidenced a higher incidence and burden for muscular, cartilaginous and ligamentous injuries in soccer, 8 23 but not in handball where these injuries were higher in immature athletes. 21 Maturity status was unrelated to patellar tendinopathy in male and female ballet dancers. 31

Associations between advancing maturity status and injury burden were observed in several studies. As with injury incidence, associations with burden varied by time-loss definitions and injury type. Six studies in soccer 16 17 19 20 22 23 that used various definitions of time loss reported an increase in injury burden with advancing maturity, with one study documenting peak burden for non-contact injuries at 95% PAH. 19 There were notably higher burdens of growth-related injuries in athletes during the pre and circa-PHV stages in soccer. 17 22 23 The post-PHV stage is associated with a reduced burden for growth-related injury burden, 17 22 but an increase in burden for non-contact 19 and muscle and joint-related injury, 22 although these findings are currently limited to male soccer players.

Maturity timing and injury

10 quantitative studies 20 22 28 35–41 using prospective designs ( table 2 ) investigated associations between maturity timing and injury. Six studies employed estimates of somatic maturation with EA PHV (n=4) 29 40 41 and %PAH 20 37 (n=2) the preferred methods. There was substantial heterogeneity in the criteria used to define early maturation, on-time maturation and late maturation across methods. Four studies 35 36 38 39 employed estimates of skeletal age via hand-wrist radiographs. To define early maturation, on-time maturation and late maturation, three studies 35 36 38 used the traditional criterion of ±1 years SA-CA (skeletal age-chronological age); whereas one study used ±0.5 years SA-CA. 39 Nine studies 20 22 28 35–39 41 included male athletes and one study included males and females. 40 Eight of the studies involved soccer, 20 22 29 35–39 with single studies in track and field 41 and alpine skiing. 40 Sample sizes ranged n=26 29  to n=233. 38 The methodological quality of the studies was generally low, ranging from poor 29 to fair. 39

Associations between maturational timing and injury for all relevant selected studies

Associations between the timing of maturity and injury were observed across several, 22 29 36 38 39 but not all 20 35 37 studies of male soccer players. The nature and direction of these associations did, however, vary depending on injury type and the age range of the sample. A closer inspection of the findings suggested that the impact of maturity status was more important than the timing of maturity itself when investigating injury susceptibility in young athletes. Consistent with this hypothesis, U14 and U13–U19 players categorised as early-maturing presented a higher incidence of injuries associated with more advanced stages of maturation, including reinjury, injury to ligaments, tendons and muscles and injuries to the groin, head or face, and overall injuries. 36 38 Early-maturing U14 players also reported higher burdens for time loss, muscle, hamstring and joint/ligament-related injuries. 39 In contrast, players categorised as ‘on-time’, presented higher incidence rates for injuries associated with the early-to-mid stages of adolescence, including lower limb apophyseal injuries, anterior inferior iliac spine avulsions, Osgood-Schlatter’s, Sever’s and knee-related injuries in on-time than early maturing. 36 38 In comparison to late-maturing players, on-time U14 players presented higher rates of incidence for, groin injuries, tendinopathies and moderate injuries, 36 and higher burdens for joint/ligament, knee, anterior inferior iliac spine, growth-related and time-loss injuries. 22 39 Late-maturing players presented higher incidence rates for osteochondrosis, thigh, growth-related and major injuries than early-maturing players, and a higher incidence of tendinopathies and osteochondral disorder of the knee than early and on-time players. 36 38 Late-maturing track and field athletes also presented a higher incidence for foot, ankle and lower limb injuries compared with their peers. 41 Despite late-maturing alpine skiers presenting a higher prevalence of traumatic and overuse injuries, respectively, these values did not differ statistically from early-maturing skiers. 40

Growth and maturity tempo and injury

Nine quantitative studies 19 23 25 27 34 42–45 adopting prospective designs ( table 3 ) and two qualitative studies 32 33 investigated associations between rate of growth and/or maturation and injury. Rate of change in stature (n=9) and leg length (n=5) were the most frequent growth measures. Four studies assessed growth tempo in body mass and mass-for-stature. Singular studies considered growth of the foot, 42 torso 30 and tempo of skeletal maturation. 34 Six studies 19 23 25 43–45 involved male soccer players with the remaining studies involving male track and field athletes, 34 and dancers 42 and alpine skiers 27 of both sexes. Samples sizes ranged from n=46 42  to n=378. 45 The methodological quality of the studies was generally low, ranging from poor 43 to fair. 34 45

Associations between growth and maturation indices and injury for all relevant selected studies

More rapid gains in stature were associated with a higher incidence and/or probability of overall, 25 43 45 non-contact 19 and overuse 44 injuries in male academy soccer players, and bone and growth plate injuries in male track and field athletes. 34 Greater growth in stature was, however, associated with a reduced probability for acute injuries in U13–15 academy soccer players 44 and overall injuries in male and female alpine skiers. 27 More rapid gains in stature during PHV was associated with a higher burden for overall, knee and growth-related injuries, but not muscle, joint/ligament, knee or ankle injuries in U14 academy soccer players. 22 A non-linear (inverted-U) association between growth in stature and burden for non-contact injuries was reported in U13–U16 male soccer players, with peak estimated injury burden occurring at 4.17 cm per year. 19 More rapid growth of the lower limbs was associated with a higher probability for overall injuries in alpine skiing 27 and track and field, 34 overuse 44 injuries in soccer, and bone and growth plate in track and field. 34 As with stature, a non-linear association was observed between growth rate of the lower limbs with peak estimated injury burden occurring at a growth rate of 5.27 cm per year. 19

Rate of growth in body mass did not differentiate between injured and non-injured alpine skiers 27 and was not associated with injury probability in track and field athletes 34 and U10–15 soccer players. 44 Greater seasonal gains in body mass were observed in injured vs non-injured Italian soccer players; however, growth in mass did not emerge as a predictor of injury in a subsequent regression model. 25 With respect to mass-for-stature, more rapid gains in body mass index (BMI) were observed between injured vs non-injured Dutch soccer players, 43 but not their Italian counterparts. 25 Rate of change in BMI was unrelated to overall injury risk injury in alpine skiing 27 and overall, gradual and sudden-onset, bone and growth plate injuries in track and field. 34

In both qualitative studies, 32 33 more rapid gains in stature and mass were perceived as risk factors for injury in young gymnasts, with specific reference to stress fractures, growth-related, shoulder and lower back injuries. The risk was also perceived to be higher when accompanied with high or sudden spikes in training and competition loads, and restricted eating.

Trunk growth was unrelated to probability for overall, gradual onset, sudden onset, bone or growth plate-related injuries in track and field athletes. 34 More rapid growth of the foot was, however, associated with a higher risk for lumbar and lower extremity injury risk in male and female dancers. 42 Finally, more rapid changes in skeletal maturation were associated with an increased risk of bone injuries in a track and field athletes, yet was unrelated to risk of gradual-onset and sudden-onset, growth plate and overall injuries. 34

This review described contemporary research and emerging evidence related to growth, maturation and injury in youth athletes engaged in elite performance pathways. A total of 30 articles were deemed eligible for inclusion in this review with the majority involving male soccer players. The disparity between sports reflects the popularity of soccer, as a sport, and the significant investment by professional clubs and national governing bodies in the monitoring of physical development and health of young players. 10 Implemented in parallel, injury surveillance and growth and maturity profiling systems have enabled researchers to collect high-quality longitudinal data, consider the implications of growth and maturation across diverse injury types and perform more sophisticated methods of analysis. Those investigating the associations between growth, maturation and injury in young athletes should look to soccer for examples of good practice (see Monasterio, 8 22 23 39 Rommers, 44 45 Materne 38 and Hall 17 ), such as the aggregation of data across age groups, clubs and/or multiple seasons and consideration of different injury types and interactional effects. Wik’s investigation of both maturity status and tempo as risk factors across multiple injury types in track and field also serves as a good example of innovative practice within this field. 34

The lack of studies involving and/or exclusive to female athletes is a particular concern. The eligible studies that considered physical development and injury in female athletes all had comparatively small sample sizes and, thus, it is difficult to draw firm conclusions from the evidence. Injury research related to male athletes does not always generalise to female athletes. 46 The sex differences in human anatomy and physiology that emerge during puberty may predispose male and female athletes to variable levels of injury risk. 7 Whereas some studies have found female athletes to be at greater or reduced risk for certain types of injury, 46 47 others suggest more comprehensive research and data are still required to effectively inform injury prevention and treatment strategies specific to female athletes. 48 There is a need for sport’s national governing bodies to prioritise and invest in research related to physical development and injury in female athletes. Care must, however, be taken in the design and implementation of growth and maturity profiling strategies for female athletes with particular sensitivity around the collection, communication and use of data. 49 Data pertaining to physical development should be used to understand and support the health and development of the athletes and not as a criteria for the selection and exclusion of athletes. 49 Clinicians and researchers should seek to identify those injuries that female and, to a lesser extent, male athletes may be more or less susceptible to at different stages of maturation and consider strategies for the early detection and mitigation of conditions such as relative energy deficiency RED-S which can compromise physical development and the immediate and long-term health of youth athletes. 49 Researchers should also investigate the extent to which the processes of growth and maturation contribute to the elevated risk of medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries observed in female athletes during adolescence. 7

The evidence reviewed suggests that susceptibility to injury in youth athletes varies relative to maturity status. Adopting a broad definition of injury, incidence and burden generally increases with advancing maturation. The nature of the association between maturity status and injury does, however, vary relative to injury type. The adolescent growth spurt signalled a marked increase in the incidence and burden of growth-related injuries, confirming the beliefs and experiences of coaches and medical practitioners. 32 33 Growth-related injuries were most prevalent at the onset and during the growth spurt, with apophyseal, osteochondrosis and avulsion prominent in numerous sport contexts. 8 18 21 22 33 34 Growth-related injuries also followed a distal-to-proximal gradient consistent with the sequential and asynchronous nature of adolescent growth, before declining in both incidence and burden post-PHV. In contrast, the incidence of muscular, cartilaginous and ligamentous injuries generally increased with advancing maturity status and were most prevalent in athletes categorised as mature and/or post-PHV. Increased susceptibility for such injuries post-PHV has been attributed to several factors associated with growth and maturation, including disruptions in neuromuscular control, insufficient muscle capacity, imbalance in muscle and tendon growth, and increase in moments of inertia in athletes’ segments. 8 Despite much of the data within the eligible studies being normalised to exposure per 1000 hours, uncertainties remain regarding the standalone impact of maturational status on injury incidence and burden, given the variations in activity content (eg, modality, frequency, intensity, location) that may comprise an individual’s exposure hours.

The absence of a consistent pattern of association between timing and injury suggested that maturing in advance or delay of one’s peers (ie, timing) was not an inherent risk for injury. Rather, the extent to which timing impacts an athlete’s maturational status and/or proximity to PHV appeared to be of greater relevance. Compatible with this logic, early maturing athletes presented a higher incidence and burden for injuries associated with more advanced stages of maturity (eg, tendinopathies, groin strains, joint and ligament injuries, functional muscle disorders). 22 36 38 39 Conversely, on-time and late maturing reported a higher incidence and burden for injuries associated with the earlier stages of the growth spurt (eg, lower limb apophyseal injuries, osteochondrosis, AIIS, Osgood-Schlatter’s, Sever’s). 22 36 38 39 41 Due to inherent maturity selection biases that exist in sport, 3 50–52 late-maturing athletes were under-represented in several of the eligible studies 22 36 38 39 resulting in insufficient statistical power to make effective comparisons across groups. As late maturing athletes experience the growth spurt at an age when training intensities and volumes are typically higher, they may be more susceptible to injuries associated with growth or overloading. 53 Any elevated injury risk associated with later maturation may, however, be mitigated by a lower rate of growth at PHV. Future studies may need to aggregate data across teams, sport or consecutive seasons to test this hypothesis or focus on sports or activities where late developers are more likely to be represented (ie, gymnastics, ballet, diving).

More rapid gains in stature and length of the lower limbs were associated with a higher incidence of overuse, non-contact and growth-related injuries across several sports. Monasterio et al , also observed more rapid growth in stature to be associated with a higher burden for overall and growth-related injuries during PHV. 22 Johnson et al , did, however, report a non-linear associations between burden and rate of growth in stature and of the lower limbs, with peak burdens occurring post-PHV and at a rate of approximately 4-to-5 cm per year. 19 The delayed effect of injuries sustained during PHV on injury burden post-PHV may explain the discrepancy in these results. No clear or consistent associations were observed between rate of growth in mass and mass-for-stature with injury. Pubertal gains in mass and mass-for-stature may have greater injury implications for athletes participating sports that involve frequent landing, jumping, pivoting and high intensity accelerations and decelerations. 5 They may also have greater impact for risk in female athletes who experience larger gains in absolute and relative fat-mass, and corresponding smaller gains in absolute and relative strength during puberty. 2 50 Further research on the growth and injury in female athletes is needed with a particular focus on the preventative benefits of targeted functional movement and neuromuscular strength training interventions. 54–56

Intervention studies designed to mitigate growth-related injuries in young athletes are currently lacking. However, in the interim, growth and maturity profiling can provide valuable information pertaining to maturational status, timing and growth rate of individual athletes, enabling practitioners to identify athletes at heightened risk for specific injuries and adapt their training and conditioning accordingly. 1 For example, the Athletic Skills Model (ASM) describes a maturity-matching strategy whereby athletes identified as circa-PHV are assigned to training groups with an increased emphasis on movement competency, core and lower body strength, mobility, balance, coordination, coupled with reductions training load, intensity and movement repetition. 57 A recent intervention aligned to theASM principles resulted in marked reductions in non-contact injury incidence and burden among academy soccer players identified as circa-PHV and at-risk. 58 Although promising, further encompassing research is required to validate these findings.

Strengths and limitations

The inclusion of several contemporary studies conducted across multiple clubs or seasons was a strength of this review. 8 17 22 23 36 38 39 44 45 With comparatively large samples and more rigorous approaches to data capture, these studies enabled more comprehensive and detailed investigations of growth, maturation and injury. These studies also provided valuable insight as to the complex, multifaceted and dynamic nature of the relationship between physical development and injury in youth. The myriad of methodological limitations highlighted by Swain et al 4 persist, making it challenging to generalise findings or draw firm conclusions from the existing literature on this topic. Although the quality of the two qualitative studies was deemed excellent, the methodological quality of the quantitative studies was generally low, ranging from poor to fair. To improve research quality and robustness, there is a need to develop a contemporary consensus statement on standardised evidence-informed best practices for assessing and estimating growth and maturation in young athletes. This review was commissioned by the IOC as a wider contribution towards a consensus statement, and as such adopted a harmonised methodology. Researchers may wish to consider alternative methodologies in additional future reviews. Building on previews reviews and commentaries, 3 4 59–61 particular attention should be paid to the operationalisation of growth and maturation and the criteria used to determine maturity status, timing and tempo of growth. It is equally important to consider the rationale for measurement, analytical quality control, frequency of measurement, the education of key stakeholders and how data are communicated to athletes, parents/guardians and coaches. 49 The validity and reliability of the various methods used to estimate maturation should also be considered with a particular focus on non-invasive estimates of somatic maturation. 3 62 63

The evidence reviewed indicates that variability in growth and maturation plays a contributing role in the risk of injury among youth athletes engaged in high performance pathways. The associations involved are intricate and diverse, requiring further research to comprehend the precursors, mechanisms and contextual factors that may predispose athletes to a higher risk of specific injuries (eg, those related to motor competence, functional capacity, training/competition load and content). It is recommended that sport’s governing bodies simultaneously implement comprehensive injury surveillance and growth and maturity profiling systems for youth, along with educational content and a current consensus statement on best/standardised practice in the estimation and monitoring of growth and maturation. Such an approach has the potential to enhance our understanding of the connections between growth, maturation and injury and provide the empirical basis for the subsequent development and implementation of injury prevention programmes.

The paper describes computational tools that can be of great help to both qualitative and quantitative scholars in the humanities and social sciences who deal with words as data. The Java and Python tools described provide computer-automated ways of performing useful tasks: 1. check the filenames well-formedness; 2. find user-defined characters in English language stories (e.g., social actors, i.e., individuals, groups, organizations; animals) (“find the character”) via WordNet; 3. aggregate words into higher-level aggregates (e.g., “talk,” “say,” “write” are all verbs of “communication”) (“find the ancestor”) via WordNet; 4. evaluate human-created summaries of events taken from multiple sources where key actors found in the sources may have been left out in the summaries (“find the missing character”) via Stanford CoreNLP POS and NER annotators; 5. list the documents in an event cluster where names or locations present close similarities (“check the character’s name tag”) using Levenshtein word/edit distance and Stanford CoreNLP NER annotator; 6. list documents categorized into the wrong event cluster (“find the intruder”) via Stanford CoreNLP POS and NER annotators; 7. classify loose documents into most-likely event clusters (“find the character’s home”) via Stanford CoreNLP POS and NER annotators or date matcher; 8. find similarities between documents (“find the plagiarist”) using Lucene. These tools of automatic data checking can be applied to ongoing projects or completed projects to check data reliability. The NLP tools are designed with “a fourth grader” in mind, a user with no computer science background. Some five thousand newspaper articles from a project on racial violence (Georgia 1875–1935) are used to show how the tools work. But the tools have much wider applicability to a variety of problems of interest to both qualitative and quantitative scholars who deal with text as data.

Beyond lexical frequencies: using R for text analysis in the digital humanities

Text Mining and Big Textual Data: Relevant Statistical Models

On PEA see Koopmans and Rucht ( 2002 ) and (Hutter 2014 ); on PEA and its more rigorous methodological counterpart rooted in a linguistic theory of narrative and rhetoric, Quantitative Narrative Analysis (QNA), see Franzosi ( 2010 ).

See, for instance, Franzosi’s PC-ACE (Program for Computer-Assisted Coding of Events) at www.pc-ace.com (Franzosi 2010 ).

For recent surveys, see Evans and Aceves ( 2016 ), Edelmann et al. ( 2020 ).

The GitHub site will automatically install not only all the NLP Suite scripts but also Python and Anaconda required to run the scripts. It also provides extensive help on how to download and install a handful of external software required by some of the algorithms (e.g., Stanford CoreNLP, WordNet). The goal is to make it as easy as possible for non-technical users to take advantage of the tools with minimal investment.

We rely on the Python package openpyxl and ad hoc functions.

The newspaper collections found in Chronicling America of the Library of Congress ( http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/newspapers/ ), the Digital Library of Georgia ( http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/MediaTypes/Newspapers.html?Welcome ), The Atlanta Constitution, Proquest, Readex.

Multiple cross-references are also possible, whereby a document deals with several different events.

Contrary to some protest event projects based on a single newspaper source (e.g., The New York Times in the “Dynamics of Collective Action, 1960–1995” project that involved several social scientists, notably, Doug McAdam, John McCarthy, Susan Olzak, Sarah Soule, and led to dozens of influential publications; see for all McAdam and Su 2002 ), the Georgia lynching project is based on multiple newspaper sources for each event.

Franzosi reports 1,600 distinct entries for subjects and objects and 7,000 for verbs for one of his projects (Franzosi 2010 : 93); similar figures are reported by Ericsson and Simon ( 1996 : 265–266) and Tilly ( 1995 : 414–415).

The most up-to-date numbers of terms are given in https://wordnet.princeton.edu/documentation/wnstats7wn .

A common critique of WordNet is that WordNet is better suited to account for concrete concepts than for abstract concepts. It is much easier to create hyponyms/hypernym relationships between “conifer” as a type of “tree”, a “tree” as a type of “plant”, and a “plant” as a type of “organism”. Not so easy to classify emotions like “fear” or “happiness” into hyponyms/hypernym relationships.

https://projects.csail.mit.edu/jwi/

The WordNet databases comprises both single words or combinations of two or more words that typically come together with a specific meaning (collocations, e.g., coming out, shut down, thumbs up, stand in line, customs duty). Over 80% of terms in the WordNet database are collocations, at least at the time of Miller et al.’s Introduction to WordNet manual (1993, p. 2). For the English language (but WordNet is available for some 200 languages) the database contains a very large set of terms. The most up-to-date numbers of terms are given in https://wordnet.princeton.edu/documentation/wnstats7wn .

Data aggregation is often referred to as “data reduction” in the social sciences and as “linguistic categorization” in linguistics (on linguistic categorization, see Taylor 2004 ; on verbs classification, Levin 1993 ; see also Franzosi 2010 : 61).

On the way up through the hierarchy, the script relies on the WordNet concepts of hypernym – the generic term used to designate a whole class of specific instances (Y is a hypernym of X if X is a (kind of) Y) – and holonym – the name of the whole of which the meronym names is a part. Y is a holonym of X if X is a part of Y.

Collocations are sets of two or more words that are usually together for a complete meaning, e.g., “coming out,” “sunny side up”. Over 80% of terms in the WordNet database are collocations, at least at the time of Miller et al.’s Introduction to WordNet manual (1993, p. 2). For the English language (but WordNet is available for some 200 languages) the database contains a very large set of terms. The most up-to-date numbers of terms in each category are given in https://wordnet.princeton.edu/documentation/wnstats7wn

The 25 top noun synsets are: act, animal, artifact, attribute, body, cognition, communication, event, feeling, food, group, location, motive, object, person, phenomenon, plant, possession, process, quantity, relation, shape, state, substance, time.

The 15 top verb synsets are: body, change, cognition, communication, competition, consumption, contact, creation, emotion, motion, perception, possession, social, stative, weather.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to aggregate at levels lower than the top synsets. Wordnet is a linked graph where each node is a synset and synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. In other words, it is not a simple tree structure: there is no way to tell at which level the synset is located at. For example, the synset “anger” can be traced from top level synset “feeling” and follows the path: feeling—> emotion—> anger. But it can also be traced from top level synset “state” and follows the path: state—> condition—> physiological condition—> arousal—> emotional arousal—> anger. In the first case, “anger” is at level 3 (assuming “feeling” and or other top synsets are level 1). In the second case, “anger” is at level 6. Programmatically, if one gives users more freedom to control the level of aggregating up, it is hard to build a user-friendly communication protocol. If the user wants to aggregate up to level 3 (two levels below the top synset), then should “anger” be considered as a level 3 synset? Does the user want “anger” to be considered as a level 3 synset? Since there is no clear definition of how far away a synset is from the root (top synsets), our algorithm aggregates all the way up to root.

Suppose that you wish to aggregate the verbs in your corpus under the label “violence.” WordNet top synsets for verbs do not include “violence” as a class. Verbs of violence may be listed under body, contact, social. You could use the Zoom IN/DOWN widget of Figure 24 to get a list of verbs in these top synsets, then manually go through the list to select only the verbs of violence of interest. That would mean go through manually the list of 956 verbs in the body class (e.g., to find there the verb “attack,” among others), the 2515 verbs of contact (e.g., to find there the verb “wrestle”), and the 1688 verbs of social (e.g., to find there the verb “abuse”). In total, 5159 distinct verbs. A restricted domain, for example newspaper articles of lynching, may have many fewer distinct verbs, indeed 2027, extracted using the lemma of the POS annotator for all the VB* tags. Whether using the WordNet dictionary (a better solution if the list of verbs of violence has to be used across different corpora) or the POS distinct verb tags, the dictionary list can then be used to annotate the documents in the corpus via the NLP Suite dictionary annotator GUI.

Current computational technology makes available a different approach to creating summaries: an automatic approach where summaries are generated automatically by a computer algorithm, rather than a human (Gambhir and Gupta 2017 ; Lloret and Palomar 2012 ; Nenkova and McKeown 2012 ).

We use the word “compilation”, rather than “summary”, since, by and large, we maintained the original newspaper language (e.g., the word “negro”, rather than “African American”) and original story line, however contrived the story may have appeared to be.

https://stanfordnlp.github.io/CoreNLP/ Manning et al. ( 2014 ).

More specifically, for locations, the NER tags used are: City, State_or_Province, Country. Several other NER values are also recognized and tagged (e.g., Numbers, Percentages, Money, Religion), but they are irrelevant in this context.

The column “List of Documents for Type of Error” may be split in several columns depending upon the number of documents found in error.

The algorithm can process all or selected NER values, comparing the associated word values either within a single event subdirectory or across all subdirectories (or all the files listed in a directory, for that matter).

We calculated the relativity index by using cosine similarity (Singhal 2001 ). We use the two list of NN, NNS, Location, Date, Person, and Organization from the j doc (L1) and from all other j-1 docs (L2) and compute cosine similarity between the two lists. We construct a vector from each list by mapping the word count onto each unique word. Then, relativity index is calculated as the cosine similarity between two vectors and n is the count of total unique words. For instance, L1 is {Alice: 2, doctor: 3, hospital: 1}, and L2 is {Bob:1, hospital: 2}. If we fix the order of all words as {Alice, doctor, hospital, Bob}, then the first vector (V1) is (2, 3, 1, 0), the second vector (V2) is (0, 0, 2, 1), and the length n of the vector is 4. The relativity is the dot product of two vectors divided by the product of two vector lengths. Documents with index of relativity significantly lower than the rest of the cluster are signalled as unlikely to belong to the cluster.

\({\text{relativity}}\;{\text{index}} = \frac{{\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^{n} {\left( {V1_{i} V2_{i} } \right)} }}{{\sqrt {\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^{n} {V1_{i}^{2} } } \sqrt {\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^{n} {V2_{i}^{2} } } }}\)

The relativity index ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 means two documents are totally different, and 1 means two documents have exactly the same list of NN, NNS, Location, Date, Person, and Organization.

The bar chart displays the distribution of most frequent threshold index values as intervals, with most records in the 0.25 ~ 0.29 interval.

It should be noted that the use of the words plagiarism and plagiarist in this context should be taken with a grain of salt. First, the data do not tell us anything about who copied whom, but only that the two different newspapers shared content, wholly or in part; furthermore, the shared content may well have come from an unacknowledged wire service (on the development and spread of news wire services in the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century, see Brooker-Gross 1981 ; on computational tools for plagiarism and authorship attribution, see, for instance, Stein et al. 2011 ).

http://lucene.apache.org/core/downloads.html . For a summary of approaches to document similarities, see Forsyth and Sharoff ( 2014 ).

Other approaches are also available. After all, determining document similarity has been a major research area due to its wide application in information retrieval, document clustering, machine translation, etc. Existing approaches to determine document similarity can be grouped into two categories: knowledge-based similarity and content-based similarity (Benedetti et al., 2019 ).

Knowledge-based similarity approaches extract information from other sources to supplement the corpus, so as to draw from more document features to analyze. For example, Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA) (Gabrilovich and Markovitch 2007 ) represents documents in high dimensional vectors based on the features extracted from both original articles and Wikipedia articles. Then, similarity of documents is calculated using vector space comparison algorithm. Since our main focus in this work is to detect plagiarism among texts in the same corpus, knowledge-based similarity approaches are not very fruitful.

Content-based similarity approaches focus on using only textual information contained in documents. Popular proposed techniques in this fields are Vector Space Models (Turney and Pantel 2010 ), probabilistic models such as Okapi BM-25 (Robertson and Zaragoza 2009 ). These methods all transform documents into some form of representations, and then either do a vector space comparison or query search match on the constructed representations.

Users can specify different spans of temporal aggregation (e.g., year, quarter/year, month/year).

In this specific application, documents are newspapers where document name refers to the name of the paper (e.g., The New York Times) and document instance refers to a specific newspaper article (e.g., The New York Times_12-11-1912_1, referring to a The New York Times of December 11, 1912 on page 1). But the document name could refer to an ethnographic interview with document instance referring to an interviewer’s ID (by name or number), an interview’s location, time, or interviewee (by name or ID number).

The numbers in each row of the table add up to approximately the total number of newspaper articles in the corpus. This number of not exact due to the way the Lucene function “find top similar documents” computes similar documents with discrepancies numbering in the teens.

On the specific topic of lynching, see, for instance, the quantitative work by Beck and Tolnay ( 1990 ) or Franzosi et al. ( 2012 ) and the more qualitative work by Brundage ( 1993 ).

What Is Qualitative Research? | Methods & Examples

Published on June 19, 2020 by Pritha Bhandari . Revised on June 22, 2023.

Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. It can be used to gather in-depth insights into a problem or generate new ideas for research.

Qualitative research is the opposite of quantitative research , which involves collecting and analyzing numerical data for statistical analysis.

Qualitative research is commonly used in the humanities and social sciences, in subjects such as anthropology, sociology, education, health sciences, history, etc.

• How does social media shape body image in teenagers?
• How do children and adults interpret healthy eating in the UK?
• What factors influence employee retention in a large organization?
• How is anxiety experienced around the world?
• How can teachers integrate social issues into science curriculums?

Approaches to qualitative research, qualitative research methods, qualitative data analysis, advantages of qualitative research, disadvantages of qualitative research, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about qualitative research.

Qualitative research is used to understand how people experience the world. While there are many approaches to qualitative research, they tend to be flexible and focus on retaining rich meaning when interpreting data.

Common approaches include grounded theory, ethnography , action research , phenomenological research, and narrative research. They share some similarities, but emphasize different aims and perspectives.

Note that qualitative research is at risk for certain research biases including the Hawthorne effect , observer bias , recall bias , and social desirability bias . While not always totally avoidable, awareness of potential biases as you collect and analyze your data can prevent them from impacting your work too much.

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

Each of the research approaches involve using one or more data collection methods . These are some of the most common qualitative methods:

• Observations: recording what you have seen, heard, or encountered in detailed field notes.
• Interviews:  personally asking people questions in one-on-one conversations.
• Focus groups: asking questions and generating discussion among a group of people.
• Surveys : distributing questionnaires with open-ended questions.
• Secondary research: collecting existing data in the form of texts, images, audio or video recordings, etc.
• You take field notes with observations and reflect on your own experiences of the company culture.
• You distribute open-ended surveys to employees across all the company’s offices by email to find out if the culture varies across locations.
• You conduct in-depth interviews with employees in your office to learn about their experiences and perspectives in greater detail.

Qualitative researchers often consider themselves “instruments” in research because all observations, interpretations and analyses are filtered through their own personal lens.

For this reason, when writing up your methodology for qualitative research, it’s important to reflect on your approach and to thoroughly explain the choices you made in collecting and analyzing the data.

Qualitative data can take the form of texts, photos, videos and audio. For example, you might be working with interview transcripts, survey responses, fieldnotes, or recordings from natural settings.

Most types of qualitative data analysis share the same five steps:

• Prepare and organize your data. This may mean transcribing interviews or typing up fieldnotes.
• Review and explore your data. Examine the data for patterns or repeated ideas that emerge.
• Develop a data coding system. Based on your initial ideas, establish a set of codes that you can apply to categorize your data.
• Assign codes to the data. For example, in qualitative survey analysis, this may mean going through each participant’s responses and tagging them with codes in a spreadsheet. As you go through your data, you can create new codes to add to your system if necessary.
• Identify recurring themes. Link codes together into cohesive, overarching themes.

There are several specific approaches to analyzing qualitative data. Although these methods share similar processes, they emphasize different concepts.

Qualitative research often tries to preserve the voice and perspective of participants and can be adjusted as new research questions arise. Qualitative research is good for:

• Flexibility

The data collection and analysis process can be adapted as new ideas or patterns emerge. They are not rigidly decided beforehand.

• Natural settings

Data collection occurs in real-world contexts or in naturalistic ways.

• Meaningful insights

Detailed descriptions of people’s experiences, feelings and perceptions can be used in designing, testing or improving systems or products.

• Generation of new ideas

Open-ended responses mean that researchers can uncover novel problems or opportunities that they wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.

Researchers must consider practical and theoretical limitations in analyzing and interpreting their data. Qualitative research suffers from:

• Unreliability

The real-world setting often makes qualitative research unreliable because of uncontrolled factors that affect the data.

• Subjectivity

Due to the researcher’s primary role in analyzing and interpreting data, qualitative research cannot be replicated . The researcher decides what is important and what is irrelevant in data analysis, so interpretations of the same data can vary greatly.

• Limited generalizability

Small samples are often used to gather detailed data about specific contexts. Despite rigorous analysis procedures, it is difficult to draw generalizable conclusions because the data may be biased and unrepresentative of the wider population .

• Labor-intensive

Although software can be used to manage and record large amounts of text, data analysis often has to be checked or performed manually.

• Negativity bias
• Status quo bias

Quantitative research deals with numbers and statistics, while qualitative research deals with words and meanings.

Quantitative methods allow you to systematically measure variables and test hypotheses . Qualitative methods allow you to explore concepts and experiences in more detail.

There are five common approaches to qualitative research :

• Grounded theory involves collecting data in order to develop new theories.
• Ethnography involves immersing yourself in a group or organization to understand its culture.
• Narrative research involves interpreting stories to understand how people make sense of their experiences and perceptions.
• Phenomenological research involves investigating phenomena through people’s lived experiences.
• Action research links theory and practice in several cycles to drive innovative changes.

Data collection is the systematic process by which observations or measurements are gathered in research. It is used in many different contexts by academics, governments, businesses, and other organizations.

There are various approaches to qualitative data analysis , but they all share five steps in common:

• Prepare and organize your data.
• Review and explore your data.
• Develop a data coding system.
• Assign codes to the data.
• Identify recurring themes.

The specifics of each step depend on the focus of the analysis. Some common approaches include textual analysis , thematic analysis , and discourse analysis .

Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal

Psychology and Education , Jobert Maninang , eva chandrina torregoza , Joy C. Villamil

One of the academic strands offered by the Philippine Education in the Senior High School department is the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) which encapsulates branches of knowledge in science. This is in line with Republic Act stipulated in the Philippines laws numbered 10533. Anchored on Deped Order 51, s 2015, students who intend to study humanities and social sciences in higher education should enroll in the Humanities and social sciences. This study aims to examine the landing station of HUMMS graduates of the Division of Bais City. The lack of empirical studies that especially concentrate on the lived experiences of HUMSS graduates may be one potential research gap in this area. The study is enlightened by the theory of descriptive phenomenology by the philosopher Edmund Husserl. The Husserlian descriptive phenomenology design was used for this qualitative study. The researchers separately performed one-on-one interviews in the study of the lived experience of HUMSS graduates, which helped to get a holistic sense and consciousness relating to the full experiences of the participants. Participants must have completed their studies in the humanities and social sciences (HUMSS) strand at the School Division of Bais City. The study came up with four emergent themes: Theme 1: The All-in-one package, Theme 2: Academic Alignment; Theme 3: First-come-first-serve and Theme 4: Curriculum re-touch. These themes provided a clear result of how the HUMSS graduates lived experiences in landing better opportunities.

Humanities 101 is a program discursively constructed around a belief in the beneficence of an entry-level education in the humanities for low-income and otherwise marginalized learners. It uses education to counter marginalizing social forces, the literature surrounding it often equating a university-level educational experience to power, privilege, and success. " Humanities 101: What I have learned from it... what I am still learning " is an account of the author's observations of one such program, and the conclusions he drew regarding what a legitimate educational experience is about, and the complex social networks and discursive spaces such a program entails. This article tells of my observations of an entry-level university humanities course for adults living on the margins of our society. It stands as an early part of an ethnographic study of two Ontario-based Humanities 101 programs, wherein I sought to explore the culture of the programs as evidenced through the experiences of the students, instructors, and one of the coordinators involved. My interest in studying Humanities 101 stemmed from my work as an assistant with one such program, and the disjuncture I witnessed between the everyday organization of the adult learners' lives and the implementation of the program.

The paper has attempted to understand the status of „Psychology of Health‟ course offered in undergraduate programme within a larger debate between mainstream and critical health psychological (CHP) perspectives. The theoretical perspectives from critical psychology have been borrowed to understand and analyse the content of the course. The experiences gained in the classroom teaching of the course to undergraduate students have been utilised to assess and examine its curriculum. As analysis of the theoretical review of present literature, I have presented my critical views on certain basic foundations of mainstream health psychology (MHP) by challenging certain assumptions of it and have made some more indigenous suggestions for more holistic understanding of the discipline and for making space for critical and interdisciplinary explanations about health.
