高校教师视角下的人文社会科学国际发表及其激励制度

在学术国际化和中国哲学社会科学"走出去"的背景下,越来越多的高校对教师发表SSCI和A&HCI论文进行激励。激励制度主要体现在物质奖励和学术评价两个层面。从对国内某研究型大学文科教师深度访谈的情况来看,高校教师对人文社会科学国际发表及其激励制度持不同意见,虽一般不反对对国际发表进行物质奖励,但他们对国际发表在学术评价中的地位的认识存在较大分歧。高校在实施人文社会科学国际发表激励制度的过程中应理解和尊重差异性的存在,关注国际化与本土化的平衡。     

互依联盟何以可能?——中国枢纽型社会组织与国家之关系及其改革走向

中共十九大政治报告明确提出,要根据国情改革中国的社会组织,有效改善社会组织内部的结构功能和运行效率,以及它们与国家和政府的关系,这给我们重新审视中国的社会组织及其与国家、政府的关系提供了新思维。西方多元主义理论认为,作为整体的国家与社会组织之间是此消彼长的零和博弈关系。然而,中国枢纽型社会组织与国家的互依联盟实践表明,国家和社会组织之间也可能是合作共赢关系。国家和枢纽型社会组织构筑互依联盟的内在动力在于,互依联盟有助于确保双方获得各自所需的资源。互依联盟的国家法团主义本质,具有以下优势:促进国家社会的良好合作、推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化以及提升社会组织公共服务能力等。同时,互依联盟也存在以下不足:枢纽型社会组织的"政治化"和"行政化"倾向、抑制其他社会组织的成长以及发展方向的不确定等。因此,枢纽型社会组织应采取去行政化、社会化、具有相对独立性的相互依存等改革措施,推进国家法团主义向社会法团主义转型。     

慈善与社会和谐

在构建社会主义和谐社会的伟大工程中，慈善是一种重要的社会力量。从我国目前的形势来看，我们迫切需要激起社会怜贫恤弱的爱心，大力发展慈善事业。慈善以其仁爱之心，关爱弱势群体和困难人群的生存处境，增强他们对生活的信心和期望，有助于弥补过于悬殊的社会贫富差距；慈善所表达的善意和爱心，有助于克服日益严重的社会疏离和隔膜，促进人与人之间的彼此亲近、沟通与认同，增强人际关系的融洽与友善，从而增进社会凝聚力和向心力，促进整个社会的稳定与和谐。

Investigating married adults’ communal coping with genetic health risk and perceived discrimination

Increased genetic testing in personalized medicine presents unique challenges for couples, including managing disease risk and potential discrimination as a couple. This study investigated couples’ conflicts and support gaps as they coped with perceived genetic discrimination. We also explored the degree to which communal coping was beneficial in reducing support gaps and ultimately stress. Dyadic analysis of married adults (N?=?266, 133 couples), in which one person had the genetic risk for serious illness, showed that perceived discrimination predicted more frequent conflicts about alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related treatment, privacy boundaries, and finances, which, in turn, predicted wider gaps in emotion and esteem support, and greater stress for both spouses. Communal coping predicted lower support gaps for both partners and marginally lower stress.

Research universities on the ResearchGate social networking site: An examination of institutional differences,research activity level,and social networks formed

As one of the largest active academic social networking sites, ResearchGate (RG) has been utilized by scholars to share publications, seek collaborators, communicate work in progress, and build scholarly reputation. This study collects data from RG users from 61 U.S. research universities at different research activity levels, as categorized by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, to examine the impact of institutional differences on RG reputational metrics. The results confirm that RG is a research-oriented academic social networking site that closely and realistically mirrors the research activity level of institutions. With an increase in the research activity level of a university, its affiliated RG users tend to have higher RG scores, more publications and citations, and more profile views and followers, while the average number of reads of their publications and followees tend to be lower and fluctuant. In addition, RG users primarily follow others from institutions of a higher research activity level, forming virtual social networks centered around esteemed institutions. The study suggests academic social networks can serve as indicators in evaluation of research activities among research institutions, and such sites can be helpful and credible for acquiring resources, keeping informed about research, and promoting academic influence.     

Nurturing Authority

When considering the role of local journalism in a networked media environment, it is crucial to examine how audiences attribute news with the power to define social knowledge. In particular, television news programs need to appeal to audiences by reinforcing a sense of local journalistic authority to assert the parameters of who and what is worthy of coverage. This article presents the findings from interviews with a range of commercial television news viewers in Sydney, Australia. It positions viewership in the context of people’s wider engagement with news, and in relation to their interpersonal and digital social interactions. The paper argues that local audiences have conflicting attitudes to the role of television news, both contesting and re-inscribing the programs with the power to demarcate social, political, and cultural knowledge. It traces how local audiences challenge the ability of news to convey boundaries within the community through processes of exclusion, connecting the contestations to the lived experiences of the individuals. It identifies that television news programs nurture journalistic authority in terms of their local relevance, and it contributes insights on the significance of local news by engaging with the means by which audiences themselves attach social power to journalism.     

Contesting Communities

This introductory article to the combined special issue of Journalism Studies and Journalism Practice provides an overview of some of the key contemporary approaches to studying journalism and social order. It argues the need to step beyond a functionalist framework when considering the news media’s central role in shaping social connections, community and cohesion. To advance our understandings of social order, our paper suggests a greater emphasis of the significance of journalism’s relationship to the wider social sphere along with three other key considerations, including (1) a critical focus on the relationship between media, politics and social order, especially in defining and/or negotiating “anti-social” practices and social disintegration; (2) a more refined focus on the “imagined” and geographic boundaries of news audiences in digital spaces; and (3) the changing relationship to norms and conventions of journalism practice from trust and legitimacy to the role of journalists as arbiters and connectors across social spaces.
