NM&S exhibits must be self-contained and legible to an interdisciplinary readership — a discourse
NM&S exhibits must be self-contained and legible to an interdisciplinary readership — a discourse scholar should grasp your network figure, and a computational scholar should grasp your quote table. Crucially, NM&S counts tables and figures toward the ~8,000-word target (the limit is all text including notes, references, tables, and charts), so every exhibit must earn its space.
| Exhibit | Make it carry | Common failure |
|---|---|---|
| Quote / excerpt table | each quote tied to a claim + informant ID | a wall of decontextualized quotes |
| Coding-scheme table | categories, definitions, example, reliability | categories with no definitions |
| Descriptive / content-distribution table | counts + proportions + uncertainty | raw counts only |
| Network figure | what nodes/edges mean, layout logic | a hairball with no legend |
| Computational result figure | measure + validation noted, CIs | a pretty plot, no uncertainty |
| Platform screenshot / interface | annotated, anonymized, permissions noted | unredacted personal data |
newms-transparency-and-data).A well-built quote-to-claim table (claim → representative excerpt → informant ID → prevalence) does real analytic work: it shows the link from evidence to argument and lets a referee audit it fast. A coding-scheme table with definitions and an example per category is often the difference between a discourse paper read as systematic vs. impressionistic.
Exhibit: a quote-to-claim table for "datafied control."
Columns: Claim | Representative excerpt | Informant (pseudonym, role) | # informants expressing
Rows tie each sub-claim (anticipatory compliance; score anxiety; opacity) to evidence + prevalence.
Ethics: handles removed, employer unnamed, screenshots of the app cropped to hide other users.
Space check: replaces three paragraphs of scattered quotes → saves words against the 8,000 target.
【Exhibit】type and the one claim it carries
【Self-contained】caption/units/source complete? [Y/N]
【Anonymized】quotes/screenshots redacted? [Y/N]
【Uncertainty】reliability/intervals shown where relevant? [Y/N]
【Space】counts toward word target — justified vs. cut?
