Scoping Review: Inequalities on the Labour Market

This repository contains all data, modelling and processing source code and the complete textual content to reproduce the scoping review study. The most up-to-date version of this repository can always be found here.

Raw references, extracted and processed data can all be found in the data/ directory: Reference data include the unmodified database queries using the scoping review search terms, and the bibtex file produced by Zotero after tagging and sorting in a Zotero library, ready to be re-imported into the application. Extracted data include the fully extracted studies which make up the main sample for the review. Processed data are ready to import into a dataframe or visualize in a report.

All full texts and visualization code reside in the manuscripts/ directory. The full working paper text and code can be found in the scoping_review.qmd file. The full article text can be found in the article.qmd file.

They both make use of supplementary extraction and processing code which resides in the src/ directory, mainly to load processed data from the data/ directory and turn it into .csv data, as well as pre-processing for visualization and validity ranking within the study.

Execution and Reproduction

To reproduce the content herein, there are 3 requirements:

• Python (minimum version 3.11)
• Poetry package manager
• Quarto publishing system

Once you have all required software to install all necessary package dependencies, invoke poetry from the main repository directory:

poetry install

Now, by invoking make the project can be rendered:

make

Make will by default extract the processed data and use it to render the full project into a pdf, an html and a docx version of the review, which are deposited in the outputs/ directory.

You can invoke any of the extract, render, release steps manually instead by executing e.g. make extract.
