Evaluation and publication delay in Ibero-American scientific journals

This article analyses the review, acceptance and publication dates of a sample of 21,890 articles from 326 Ibero-American scientific journals from all subject areas and countries included in the Latindex Catalogue 2.0 and published between 2018 and 2020 (freely available as an open access dataset). The aim is to discover evaluation and publication times. The evaluation process takes a median of 110 days, the publication process, a median of 82 days, and the whole process, a median of 224 days. Statistical differences are found according to periodicity, subject areas, countries, existence of a printed version and article type (Call for Papers or General articles). From the data we find that the delay in publication is longer than publishers themselves report to the DOAJ. STEM areas present the most similarity in publication patterns, having a higher number of evaluation days (Ed) than publication days (Pd); Arts and Humanities present the opposite pattern, with a higher Pd than Ed. In the case of Social Sciences, the times are similar. General articles and Call for Papers articles differ in terms of Ed, but not Pd, indicating that Call for Papers revisions are faster.     

Editorial H-score as a metric of inner authenticity for national scientific journals—Pilot study for the field of pedagogy

There is evidence that national scientific journals are important for local communities despite their limited audience due to national languages and topics, like in pedagogy. However, it is not easy to assess the level of scientific rigour of local journals, as most do not have available scientometric data and are often published in minority languages. We hypothesize that a possible manifestation of a latent trait of inner authenticity of the scientific journal (meaning the journal is accepted by a community interested in developing the field which conducts internationally accepted research) could be H-index of the editorial board members. To test this approach, we evaluated H-index and gender of editorial board members (n = 490) from 17 Czech and Slovak national science-oriented scientific pedagogical journals which were not indexed or indexed in Erih+ or Scopus, and compared this with the five lowest-rated journals from the same field indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database. The H-index of editorial board members was somewhat higher in indexed journals with those from WoS showing higher scores, and the number of board members with no discernable H-index was far greater in non-indexed journals. Editorial boards of journals indexed in WoS were mostly male, compared to a dominance of women on boards of non-indexed journals. Acknowledging the limited sample, it appears that the H-index of editorial board members may be a way to value national scientific journals.

本科通识教育在个体职业生涯发展中的作用

为解决学生在通识课程、主修专业和职业选择中面临的问题,从激发动机、设置跨学科课程、丰富教学设计及培养能力方面,可探明本科通识教育与个体职业生涯发展之间的关系。结合通识教育与职业生涯发展的研究和实践,最终应形成整合教学(含实践教学)过程、教育和职业辅导过程、人力资源开发与管理过程的模式及体系。     

发展性课程观:课程价值取向的必然选择

发展性课程观是在批判传统课程中根深蒂固的且至今仍存在于现实课程活动中的观念和行为以及人与课程之时代发展走向的基础上提出的,是课程观转型的时代主题。发展性课程观以马克思的人类解放理论为理论依据,它的核心是教化个体与改良社会,而教化的目的在于促进个体的全面发展与个性化成长,进而促成社会发展。构筑发展性课程观的互动、共生及再造的实践机制,廓清其运演的机理,激发个体的生命自觉,构筑和谐的课程生态,实现个体生命的超越,这是课程价值取向及人的发展的必然选择。     

1970～2010年国际比较教育研究之演进——基于科学知识图谱方法的实证分析

1970～2010年国际比较教育研究呈现出以下主要特点:1)比较教育的研究前沿基本按时期顺序演变,依次包括受社会科学理论、实证方法和人力资本理论影响的20世纪六七十年代;受平等观念、世界体系理论和教育实践影响的20世纪八九十年代;受全球化理论、知识经济理论和新市民社会理论影响的2000后。2)比较教育的研究热点随着时代发展而不断变化,而且与当时的社会变革和理论发展关系极为密切。3)比较教育的知识基础在20世纪60年代至80年代逐渐趋于稳定并基本成熟,研究方法形成了以教育学、社会学、经济学为主,部分与应用心理学、哲学和历史学相关的理论和方法的格局。4)20世纪70年代至今,国际组织在比较教育发展过程中始终扮演着重要角色。     

我国职业教育财政投资体制的问题与改革方向

财政性职业教育经费的构成与拨款方式是我国职业教育财政投资体制的主要内容。当前,我国的职业教育财政投资体制存在着总量上增长幅度小,结构上支出安排不合理,布局上区域投资不平衡显著,财政投资在运作和管理上存在诸多弊端等严重问题。我国应该积极借鉴发达国家的相关经验,完善职业教育的财政投资体制,发挥多元主体的职业教育投资功能,广开财源,保障运行,落实监督,提高效益,实现职业教育财政投资数量和质量提升,促进我国职业教育的可持续发展。
