BOOK REVIEW Books to Change the World: International Publishers at One Hundred

Introduction. The international publication is now a requirement for graduate students. It is part of the strategy of higher education institutions to improve their quality and compete at the global level. Hence, their intention to develop academic networks and their level of acceptance at the international level. Accordingly, this study seeks to investigate the mediation role of reward and psychological capital on stress relations and student effort for international joint publications. Materials and Methods. There are 421 master and doctoral students employed in this research. The data collected by questionnaire. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to analyze the data. Results. The results show that the reward and psychological capital mediate the effect of stress on the student effort for international joint publication. The overall analysis shows that stress does not affect the student effort for international joint publication. Hence the mediation analysis is necessary for explaining the evidence of the stress-effort relationship. The reward is found significantly mediated by the stress-effort relationship and stress-psychological relationship, and the psychological shows a significant effect on the reward-effort relationship. The model of this study represents the joint mediation effect of rewards and psychological capital on the stress-effort relationship in the satisfactorily model of compliance. Discussion and Conclusion. This finding makes researchers develop the integrated behavioral model of stress-effort relationship by using various behavioral mechanisms in order to extend student achievement on international publication.

This research is based on expectancy theory to investigate “internal attraction” and “external attraction” and integrate “belief” into the research framework that motivates lecturers to publish their research. Findings of regression analysis from a sample of 475 lecturers in business and economics have revealed that lecturers are motivated by both “internal attraction” and “external attraction”; however, the impact of “internal attraction” is stronger than that of “external attraction” on international publication but weaker on national publication. Belief is found not to influence motivation for national research publications, but negatively influences motivation for international research publications. The research results also reveal that the motivation for international research publications of professors and associate professors is higher than the motivation of other lecturers, irrespective of age and gender. Based on the research results, proper implications for policies to foster motivation for international and national research publications have been suggested for developing countries with constant changes in science and education.

ObjectiveThe significant increase in the number of COVID-19 publications, on the one hand, and the strategic importance of this subject area for research and treatment systems in the health field, on the other hand, reveals the need for text-mining research more than ever. The main objective of the present paper is to discover country-based publications from international COVID-19 publications with text classification techniques.MethodsThe present paper is applied research that has been performed using text-mining techniques such as clustering and text classification. The statistical population is all COVID-19 publications from PubMed Central® (PMC), extracted from November 2019 to June 2021. Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) was used for clustering, and support vector machine (SVM), scikit-learn library, and Python programming language were used for text classification. Text classification was applied to discover the consistency of Iranian and international topics.ResultsThe findings showed that seven topics were extracted using the LDA algorithm for international and Iranian publications on COVID-19. Moreover, the COVID-19 publications show the largest share in the subject area of “Social and Technology in COVID-19” at the international (April 2021) and national (February 2021) levels with 50.61% and 39.44%, respectively. The highest rate of publications at international and national levels was in April 2021 and February 2021, respectively.ConclusionOne of the most important results of this study was discovering a common trend and consistency of Iranian and international publications on COVID-19. Accordingly, in the topic category “Covid-19 Proteins: Vaccine and Antibody Response,” Iranian publications have a common publishing and research trend with international ones.

Differences are conspicuous in the perception of some terms of geopark terminology such as geosite, geoheritage, geoconservation, and geodiversity in the publications of Turkish researchers, as well as in international research and publications on geoparks. This different perception hinders the unity of language in geopark studies and causes confusion in conceptual expression. This study aims to understand and discuss the meaning and conceptual perceptions of the main geopark terms of Turkish researchers by analyzing their geopark-themed studies and national/international publications. In the analysis, a total of 100 publications of Turkish researchers, 71 national and 29 international publications on geopark themes published after the referee process were evaluated. The 100 publications were classified according to the origin of the author’s discipline, whether the publication was national or international, cited publications related to the basic concepts of geoparks, and the conceptual meaning in the most cited publications and the conceptual perception in the articles were discussed. The results of the analysis highlighted the following findings. There is no common perception in the use of the prefix Geo in Geopark terminology on a national scale and the prefix Geo is perceived differently between Turkish geologists and geographer authors. It is understood that Turkish geographers generally use terms such as geoheritage, geosite, geodiversity, geoconservation, etc., in their national and international publications. While Turkish geologist authors mostly use the prefix Geo in their international publications, they prefer the terms geological heritage, geological site, geological diversity, geological protection, etc., for the same basic concepts in their national publications. The use of basic geopark terms in the articles of authors with other backgrounds is mainly similar to the approach of authors with geology background. The conclusion of this discussion is that the difference in conceptual perception of geopark terms is a problem for the geopark integrity strategy, and that it would be better to ensure linguistic unity with terminology such as geosite, geoheritage, geoconservation, and geodiversity.

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is an important educational conceptual framework. Researchers and educational practitioners work together to create Pedagogical Content Knowledge studies. Researchers and educators collaborate to gain a deeper knowledge of PCK and how to use it in real-world circumstances in the classroom through research and field experiences. The current analysis included research progress on PCK aspects from 2014 to 2023, namely the progress in the number of global publications on PCK aspects in the Scopus database from 2014 to 2023, the core journals of international publications in the field of PCK studies, the productivity of researchers in the field of PCK studies, the number of which originates from collaboration in international publications on PCK aspects of study, the development of international research publications, and the development of international research publications. The global publication Scopus instrumentation view database was used in this investigation. Data collected from Scopus was based on the terms instrumentation, instruments, measurements, medical instrumentation, virtual instrumentation, instrumentation system article title, abstract, and keywords of 2014-2023. The data comprised the number of years, daily posts of instrumentation features, author, and author's origin. Microsoft Excel was used to evaluate the data points. The VosViewer program was used to track the progress of worldwide publications on instrumentation issues. According to the results and discussion of growth developments in the field of pedagogical content knowledge studies indexed by Scopus from 2014 to 2022, the maximum number of publications (17.75%) occurred in 2022. The map of the development of the pedagogical content knowledge field based on co-words was classified into 6 clusters

This article discusses trends in Indonesia's international scientific publications in the 2015-2019 period. Indonesian international scientific publications are sourced from the Scopus data base and the data were analyzed using a bibliometric approach with visualization of VOSviewer version 1.6.15. The results show that Indonesia's international publications during the 2015-2019 period experienced a significant increase, namely 8,373 publications in 2015 to 46,028 publications in 2019, or an increase of 5.5 times from the publication in 2015. Munir, A was recorded as the most productive writer with produced 239 publications during those five years, followed by Sarno, R (221 publications), Purnomo, MH (207 publications), Hidayanto, A.N. (182 publications), and Rahim, R. (167 publications). Universitas Indonesia as the institution with the most publications with 11,661 articles, followed by the Bandung Institute of Technology (8,961 publications), Gadjah Mada University (7,369 publications), Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (5,096 publications), and Diponegoro University (4,997 publications). Other results show that most (50.9%) publications produced by authors from Indonesia are published in Scopus indexed international proceedings (such as the IOP Conference Series, AIP Conference Proceedings, MATEC Web of Conferences, E3S Web of Conferences, and ACM International Conference Proceedings. Series), and articles in international journals (46.7%). The most collaborators came from Malaysia (5,780 articles), Japan (5,373 articles), Australia (3,253 articles), the United States (2,849 articles), and England (2,194). Engineering is the most predominantly published research field, this is confirmed by the top 3 sources of publications, namely the Journal of Physics Conference Series (10.61%), IOP Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science (8.28%), and IOP Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering (6.33%). The conclusion of this study shows that there is a significant increase in Indonesian international publications indexed by Scopus of 549.71% during the 2015-2019 period. This significant increase stems from the publication of articles by Indonesian authors in international proceedings.

This study examines trends in research developments with the topic of the use of mobile payments, e-wallets. The study aims to determine: (1) the development of the number of international publications on the use of mobile payments, w-wallets on the Scopus database from 2016-2020; (2) core journals in international publications on the use of mobile payment mobile payments, e-wallets (3) maps of development of international research publications in the field of use of mobile payment mobile payments, e-wallets based on keywords (co-word). The data was collected by searching through Scopus with the keywords mobile payment, mobile, payment, e-wallet, electronic swallow, with the categories article title, abstract, keywords in the period 2016-2020. Data in the form of number of publications per year, journals containing articles on mobile payment, mobile, payment, e-wallet, electronic swallow, and subjects were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Meanwhile, the topic mapping trend was analyzed using the VosViewer software. The results showed that the highest growth in 2016-2020 indexed in Scopus occurred in 2020 which reached 82 publications (30.5%). Most international publications are published in IEE journals with 12 articles. The results show that the research topic of mobile payments or e-wallets is still dominated by the use of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theory, Trust and perceived usefulness are still the most research variables, the choice of using survey methods, with Structural Equation Model analysis tools. (SEM) especially PLS (partial least square), is dominated geographically in research in developing countries. For further research, the authors suggest the need for additional keywords so that more research results are more accurate and comprehensive.

This article analyses international publications on radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia in the Scopus database. This study employs a bibliometrics study to designate a set of quantitative methods of analysis of international scientific publications on radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia. Data was collected from search results in the Scopus database with a combination keyword "radicalism OR terrorism OR Fundamentalism IN Indonesia" in three categories: article titles, article abstracts, and article keywords in publication period, 2001-2019. The results found 414 scientific publications relating to radicalism and terrorism. The highest number was in 2019, with 49 scientific publications (11.8%). The highest amount was obtained from publishing in Jane’s Defense Weekly, a publisher in the United Kingdom (UK) that provides open-source for global intelligence agents with 12 publications (2.8%). The most prolific writer is Julie Chernov Hwang, with seven articles. He is an associate professor in politics and international relations department at Goucher College, Baltimore, Maryland (MD), United States. However, of the total scholars who conducted international publications in radicalism and terrorism study, the first rank was occupied by Indonesian scholars with 128 papers (30.9%). It shows that Indonesian scholars are serious about conducting radicalism and terrorism studies in their country. Whereas, publications forms that most contributed to radicalism and terrorism study were international journal articles with 273 publications (65.9%). The radicalism and terrorism study is the most studied in social sciences studies with 270 publications (65.2%).

The objective of this study was to analyze the international insertion of scientific production in the Accounting Sciences area developed in Brazil, in addition to identify other attributes that can enhance the international publication. Thereunto, information were collected from the Curricula Lattes of 236 researchers, derived from two groups: (i) doctors from the PhD program on Accounting of the University of Sao Paulo; and (ii) professors linked to 16 national stricto sensu post-graduation programs Accounting Sciences. The option was to analyze the international scientific production of the mentioned groups since it was believed that these are responsible for great part of the national and international publications developed in the Accounting area. After some exclusions, it was arrived to a total of 236 professors to be analyzed. The collected information comprised the whole period of the professor's curriculum (that is, from the beginning of the curriculum) until 2009 and referred to: international and national publication, accomplishment of sandwich PhD and post-doctorate, participation in research groups, orientations completed and PhD course concluded. The main results showed that the professors published 308 articles in international journals and 3,561 articles in national journals; 42 professors had completed post-doctorate degree, most of them at North American institutions; 84% of the professors participate in or act as research groups leaders; the average of master's degree orientations was of 12 students and of PhD's only one student. Although the study is focused on the quantification of publications performed by for the professors in the accounting area, the important question of the quality of the studies is well known, which must be pursued by any researcher, regardless of his area of performance.

In a world where international relations are marked by the continuous need to adapt to the challenges of globalization, changes in governing regimes and emerging political doctrines, the international community, made up of states and international organizations, has to keep changing and restructure the way states interact, according to the challenges they face. About the basis of international law, but also about the new tendencies specific to this area of law sciences, the author Aurora Ciuca wrote her book, entitled International Public Law, published by Lumen Publishing House, Iasi, Romania, in 2018, a book that is at its third revised edition.

Purpose: Owing to a shortage of South African research focusing on international strategic alliances, this study aimed to determine whether the advantages and pitfalls of international strategic alliances referred to in international business publications are also applicable to South African international strategic alliances. Design/Methodology/Approach: This was a formal, empirical study that targeted the 163 South African enterprises which were members of the South African-Angolan Chamber of Commerce in 2005 and 2006. Findings: The results identified joint ventures as the most prominent mode of entry when expanding into developing countries and, with few exceptions, the findings support the advantages and pitfalls of international strategic alliances identified in other international publications. Value of the research: A great deal of international management research over the years has been focused on the importance of strategic alliances as a mode of entry, as well as on the pitfalls experienced by alliance partners, particularly in developed countries. However, the lack of such research in Africa in general and South Africa in particular means that South African enterprises must base their entry mode selection on non-South African research findings, and although this sample size was small, the lack of other Africa-specific research makes this research significant. Implications: With South Africa being the largest source of FDI into the rest of Africa, the findings of this paper show that South African enterprises can attain the advantages associated with international strategic alliances when using this mode of entry into Africa. In terms of pitfalls, the findings highlight the need for multinational enterprises to pay specific attention to the role of governments when forming strategic alliances.

Scientific publication policies have been implemented as an effort to increase the level of scientific publications. This is because the abundance of academia in Indonesia were not in line with the number of scientific publications, especially international publications. Through policies made by the government in collaboration with universities/colleges that administer education units, it is expected that there will be an increase in scientific publications, especially at the international level. The policy has been going well with the increasing level of international scientific publications in the last 5 years, but not all are at the international level. The author analysed the effect of the scientific publication policy combined with socio-economic status, as the exogenous variable, to find out the effect on scientific publications, as the endogenous variable. Motivation are used as the mediator between variables. Data were collected from 242 graduate students in Central Java Province, Indonesia, who had already submitted or published their articles. The data were analysed using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) application, SmartPLS 3. The results indicate that (1) perception of scientific publication policy has significant and positive effect on the motivation, but insignificant on types of publications, (2) socioeconomic status has significant and positive effects on the types of publication, both direct and indirect effects, and (3) motivation has a significant effect on the types of publication which can be used as a mediator that has a significant effect

<p>A proposta deste artigo é investigar a evolução intelectual da etnografia nas áreas de administração e estudos organizacionais no período de 1995 a 2011, por meio da análise bibliométrica de citação e cocitação em publicações internacionais e, a partir de 2000, em publicações nacionais. Em relação às publicações nacionais, à medida que não é possível empregar a mesma técnica de citação e cocitação, optou-se por uma análise mais contextual do estágio em que se encontra a etnografia no Brasil. A metodologia empregada na condução desta pesquisa foi uma análise documental do estágio da etnografia em publicações internacionais e nacionais. Observou-se que, em estudos internacionais, os trabalhos etnográficos de Geertz (1973), Van Maanen (1988) e Clifford e Marcus (1986) tiveram contribuições importantes e, portanto, influenciaram sobremaneira as pesquisas posteriores. Essas pesquisas mostraram que esses autores tiveram maior proximidade e formaram o principal grupo em relação ao tema central. Também não foram observadas grandes alterações em relação ao cluster central, no período analisado, em periódicos internacionais. No âmbito nacional, pode-se afirmar que os estudos etnográficos ainda apresentam baixa popularidade entre os acadêmicos da área de administração, possivelmente, devido ao próprio método de pesquisa que requer longos períodos de tempo desde a coleta de dados, análise e até a publicação final.<br />Palavras-chaves: </p>

The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the tendencies and types of studies published in Brazil and abroad, involving elders aged>80 years, living in the community. A systematic review of national literature was performed using the LILACS and SciELO databases, and PUBMED and EMBASE for international literature, covering publications of the last two decades. Twelve national and 162 international references were selected. Biological sciences were the prevalent area both at the national (50%) and international (74.1%) levels. All national studies were observational, 91.7% of which were cross-sectional. Of the international studies, 93.3% were observational, 48.1% of which were cross-sectional and 37.6% were cohort studies. The United States were the country responsible for 41.4% of all international publications. Brazil and China were the only developing countries with international publications. Despite the significant number of international scientific publications as of 2005, this fact has not been observed at the national level.
