‘Whose Story is it?’: Co-production and Psychological Ownership of Narrative Reports
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The paper examines the co-production of narrative reports in the context of a non-profit innovation network. Prior research on narrative reporting suggests that corporate reports and similar organizational narratives are likely the product of collective efforts of different actors in the backstage. The actual process of (re-)writing such narratives has received little attention, however. In our paper, we examine how the inputs of different individual actors are translated into an organizational narrative. Mobilizing Goffman’s dramaturgical sociology as our main lens of analysis, we highlight different mechanisms of dramaturgical guidance in backstage interactions, and we show how such guidance can have repercussions on the original authors of narratives when they feel like they are losing ownership of ‘their’ stories. Overall, our paper adds to our understanding of the backstage-frontstage dynamics in narrative reporting.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedLabeled directly by 2 models reading the full record.
