The more multidisciplinary the better? – The prevalence and interdisciplinarity of research collaborations in multidisciplinary institutions

Scientific research is increasingly relying on collaborations to address complex real-world problems. Many researchers, policymakers, and administrators consider a multidisciplinary environment an important factor for fostering research collaborations, especially interdisciplinary ones that involve researchers from different disciplines. However, it remains unknown whether a higher level of multidisciplinarity within an academic institution is associated with internal collaborations that are more prevalent and more interdisciplinary. Analyzing 90,000 publications by 2500 faculty members in over 100 academic institutions from three multidisciplinary areas, information, public policy, and neuroscience, we investigated the connection between multidisciplinarity and research collaborations. Based on social network analysis and text mining, our analysis suggests that more multidisciplinary institutions are not necessarily more collaborative, although they do feature collaborations that are more interdisciplinary. Our findings provide implications for academic administrators and policymakers to promote research collaborations and interdisciplinarity in academic institutions.     

Placing Facebook

Facebook is challenging professional journalism. These challenges were evident in three incidents from 2016: the allegation that Facebook privileged progressive-leaning news on its trending feature; Facebook’s removal of the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Napalm Girl” photo from the pages of prominent users; and the proliferation of “fake news” during the US presidential election. Using theoretical concepts from the field of boundary work, this paper examines how The Guardian, The New York Times, Columbia Journalism Review and Poynter editorialized Facebook’s role in these three incidents to discursively construct the boundary between the value of professional journalism to democracy and Facebook’s ascendant role in facilitating essential democratic functions. Findings reveal that these publications attempted to define Facebook as a news organization (i.e., include it within the boundaries of journalism) so that they could then criticize the company for not following duties traditionally incumbent upon news organizations (i.e., place it outside the boundaries of journalism). This paper advances scholarship that focuses on both inward and outward conceptions of boundary work, further explores the complex challenge of defining who a journalist is in the face of rapidly changing technological norms, and advances scholarship in the field of media ethics that positions ethical analysis at the institutional level.

制度组态视角下数字生态激发创业活跃度的多元路径——基于NCA与fsQCA的研究

如何优化数字生态环境激发区域创业活跃度是亟待解决的重要管理问题。本文基于制度逻辑理论,采用必要条件分析（NCA）与模糊集定性比较分析（fsQCA）方法,以中国31个省区市为案例,检验了数字政府、数字基础、数字经济、数字能力与数字社会5个条件对区域创业活跃度的组态效应。研究结果表明：数字政府、数字基础、数字经济是区域创业活跃度的必要条件,其重要性程度依次为数字政府、数字基础与数字经济。存在“政府统筹—市场决定型“”政府赋能—市场调节型“”市场调节—社会助力型“”政府统筹—社会助力型”4类产生高创业活跃度的制度组态。存在3类产生非高创业活跃度的制度组态,呈现出以下2个特征：数字生态中各要素均表现不佳;在缺少政府统筹或赋能的情况下,即使市场发挥调节作用,也不能产生高区域创业活跃度。研究揭示了数字生态影响创业活跃度的多元路径,对优化地区数字生态环境,更好激发市场主体创业活力具有重要的实践启示。     

母语负迁移实例解析

许多调查与研究表明,母语负迁移是我国英语学习者学习过程中出现的一个十分普遍的现象。已有的母语知识对目的语学习的负面影响成了困扰学习者取得预期效果的极大障碍,教师对此也感到非常棘手。本文利用学生的习作作为真实的中介语语料,从中找出源于母语负迁移的语误实例并进行分类和总结,对导致各类语误的成因一一作了分析,并就怎样避免此类语误给出了必要的建议。
