A meta-study of the British Journal of Guidance and Counselling (BJGC): an analysis of publication characteristics from 2000–2019

ABSTRACT Article content and author characteristics were analysed in the articles published in the British Journal of Guidance and Counselling (BJGC) from 2000–2019 to determine trends over time. The BJGC publishes more total articles and guidance and counselling research articles annually than any other guidance and counselling journal except the Journal of Counseling & Development. The University of Leeds was the leading institutional contributor. The proportion of UK and non-university-affiliated lead authors declined, while the proportion of women authors and collaboration increased. More research-based articles are being published, about 55% of which use qualitative approaches, and 12% of which evaluate guidance and counselling interventions. Participant samples became smaller and used less randomisation over the past two decades.

Speech, Language, and Hearing in the 21st Century: A Bibliometric Review of JSLHR From 2001 to 2021.

A bibliometric analysis was performed for articles published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR) from 2001 to 2021 to examine changes to and emerging trends in the speech, language, and hearing sciences in the 21st century. Quantitative analyses using JASP were performed on the publication rate and number of authors in articles published in JSLHR for each year from 2001 to 2021. VOSviewer was used to analyze and visualize networks of co-occurring Keyword Plus terms extracted from the articles published in JSLHR for several representative years from 2001 to 2021. Although the number of publications and number of authors published in JSLHR increased from 2001 to 2021, that growth was consistent with the growth found in science in general and with changes in publication policies and practices. The number and range of countries other than the United States published in JSLHR increased from 2001 to 2021. A consistent set of institutions published frequently in JSLHR across the years examined. The analysis of Keyword Plus terms showed an increase in the range of populations, disorders, and languages that were the subject of research from 2001 to 2021, as well as influences from other fields on speech, language, and hearing sciences. The science of science approach and the tools of network science are useful for assessing how changes in editorial policy affect diversity, for monitoring research topics that are growing (or declining), for identifying institutions that lead the field, and for inviting discussions among various interested parties related to the growth and development of a discipline.

Meetup: O’Neill for Everyday Life

ABSTRACT In these divided times, where people are blaming “the other” for the problems that face us all, the emotional intelligence offered by O’Neill’s works is needed more than ever. O’Neill, unfortunately, is not well known beyond the academic and professional theater communities. In order to make O’Neill more accessible to everyday people, the article author launched an online Meetup group where the participants discuss one play each month. The meetings focus on discussion of O’Neill’s plays on a visceral level, relating the works to everyday life. The meetings have proved successful, with robust attendance most months and each member providing compelling insights—often relating the plays to their current world views and personal experiences.

The Concept of Cossack Fantasy in Literary Studies Discourse

The article is devoted to a general overview of the concept of fantasy and its typology, as well as to the results of research into the position of Cossack fantasy in the literary discourse. During the work on the article, materials devoted to the following main areas were used: fantasy in academic discourse; types of fantasy classifications; essential elements of a fantasy narrative; examples of Cossack fantasy in scientific research. The article uses a comparative research method. The author of the scientific study introduces the most common definitions of fantasy and the main types of classification of this type of literature. To confirm the originality of fantasy, as well as other vectors of intellectual activity that build their complex structure around the Cossack heritage, we proposed the concept of "Cossackopeia" to describe this complex and sometimes fragmentary phenomenon. In the article, we paid more attention to the artistic and literary vector of Cossackopeia. Based on the ideas of John Clute about taproot texts, Brian Atterbery about the "fuzzy set" of fantasy texts, Fara Mendelsohn and her thoughts about how the fantastic element penetrates the narrative, as well as Robert Boyer and Kenneth Zagorsky and their spatiotemporal system of events, we formed a definition of "Cossack fantasy". This allows us to say that the Cossack fantasy, using the Western European canon, has every opportunity to expand it to create original pseudo-historical worlds and even form a narrative projection of space-time far from Earth. Cossack fantasy is unjustifiably in the shadow of scientific research; therefore, it deserves a detailed analysis of its genre and typological features. In the future, the article's author sees the development of the metaconcept of Cossackopoeia and the establishment of the Cossack fantasy in this artistic phenomenon.

Artificial Intelligence Co-Authorship: Perspectives on Scientific Accuracy and Responsibility

Dear Editors, Amidst the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence tools, we have read the editorials published in your journal on the subject of “artificial intelligence and academic articles” with great interest [1, 2]. First and foremost, we would like to express our gratitude for fostering an essential platform for discourse on this current topic. Thank you for creating a significant environment for discussion. The rapid advancements emerging in artificial intelligence tools undoubtedly promise significant contributions not only in various fields but also in the realm of science. However, just as in scientific progress, it is clear that the opportunities supporting science and enabling its advancement are also evolving. For instance, had we sent this letter to your journal thirty years ago, we might have needed to send it through postal mail. Alternatively, if our writing had been published in your journal twenty years ago, we could have read it in hard copy rather than in an online environment. Similarly, had we been practising medicine hundreds of years ago, we wouldn't have had the capability to do anything for patients that we can easily treat today with the aid of ultrasound guidance in the operating room. It is highly likely that in the future, thanks to artificial intelligence tools, many tasks will become significantly more efficient and practical. From this perspective, we believe that incorporating artificial intelligence tools into the realm of science is a necessity. However, as you have also pointed out in your editorial articles [1, 2], we believe that the inclusion of artificial intelligence tools as authors in academic research is a significant topic of debate. Based on our current knowledge and perspective, we believe this situation may not be entirely appropriate. We believe that one of the most crucial points of contention regarding the inclusion of artificial intelligence tools as authors in academic research is the concept of “accuracy”. Artificial intelligence provides us with information it finds on the internet. Whether these sources are genuinely obtained from reputable journals cannot be definitively determined. This poses a significant challenge in ensuring the accuracy of such contributions. This also suggests that articles written by artificial intelligence may not be sufficiently reliable. For instance, when we input “the lumbar transforaminal injection method” into ChatGPT, it provides a lot of information on the topic. However, when asked for references, it responds with, “The information I provide is based on a vast dataset of text from a wide range of sources available on the internet, including books, websites, research papers, and more.” Indeed, it can also retrieve information from virtual and/or fake accounts. In essence, as of now, artificial intelligence lacks a truth filter similar to that of a human. While artificial intelligence facilitates rapid access to information, the uncertainty arising from data unreliability raises doubts about the information it presents. Furthermore, we believe that artificial intelligence cannot share an equal level of responsibility with human authors for the information it provides. For these reasons, we are of the opinion that the responsibility for confirming the accuracy of information presented by AI applications lies entirely with the human authors, and we believe that artificial intelligence applications should not be listed as authors in articles. Yours Sincerely,

New technology for ship bilge and oily water separation

AbstractBilge and oily water (BOW) during vessel's operation are the most large‐tonnage type of waste and for their treatment all ships, in accordance with international regulatory requirements, have to be equipped with special equipment—oily water separators. At sea vessel's operating conditions three main directions of BOW cleaning are now used: physical, chemical and biological. The analysis of BOW separation methods based on these three directions has shown that it is very difficult to obtain secondary petrochemical products. In the article authors offer a new method for BOW separation which is based on the use of a hydrodynamic process of supercavitation with artificial ventilation of the cavitational cavern. With local origin in the flow of a supercavitating cavern, there will always be saturated water vapor inside of it. The process of permanent water vapor selection from the cavern will ultimately contribute to the production of highly concentrated mixture of secondary petroleum products from initial mixture of BOW. During the study of BOW separation process it was found that decreasing of the working pressure inside the working chamber of the cavitation separator have to be always compensated by an increase in the temperature of the processed multiphase flow.

THE FOREIGN POLICY OF SLOVAKIA IN THE CONDITIONS OF GLOBALIZATION

In this article author deals with the respective periods of foreign policy upon direction changes. This covers three main streams, the establishment period of the independent Slovak foreign policy and the inclusion of the Slovak Republic among untrustworthy partners, then later the period of gaining credibility abroad and progress that led to Slovakia's accession to Euro-Atlantic structures. The primary purpose was to analyze the foreign policy of the Slovak Republic under the influence of globalization processes since its establishment until the forming of the second government of Robert Fico. Author has firstly defined the concept of globalization based on the scientific literature. Consequently, author raises an issue whether this process has a further impact on the foreign policy of the Slovak Republic. It is an undisputable that Slovakia has become a part of the globalized world, since it became part of the international structures and hence globalization affects all aspects of life in the country and even in the foreign policy. Not only the work of foreign service and politicians but the country's foreign policy priorities have adjusted to this fact as well. This stemmed in creation of readable, value-based, active and responsible foreign policy that has strengthened the position of the Slovak Republic on the world stage. Despite the initial failure of foreign policy until the year 1998, the negative trend was reversed after the change of government by Mikulas Dzurinda and since then Slovak foreign service is continuously successful. He significantly influenced and created an environment of world politics. Author presents current global threats and challenges that should play crucial role within the foreign policy. This includes questions of international terrorism, failing nations, global poverty, global epidemics and climate changes. Slovak Republic as a mature democracy and a member country of major international organizations must be involved in solving these problems, because in today's globalized world it is not enough just to maintain the nation’s position but each nation must have an interest and intention to further strengthen its position.

Research anomalies in criminology: How serious? How extensive over time? And who was responsible?

ABSTRACT A variety of ways to detect questionable research practices in small sample social science surveys have been discussed by a variety of authors. However, some of those approaches (e.g., GRIM test, SPRITE test) do not work well for results obtained from larger samples. Here several approaches for detecting anomalies in larger samples are presented and illustrated by an analysis of 78 journal articles in the area of criminology, 59 by Dr. Eric Stewart, published since 1998 with similar methods and/or authors. Of all 59 articles, 28 (47.5%, p < .001, d = 0.94) had two or more major anomalies compared to none of the 19 control group articles. It was also found that the larger the role of Dr. Stewart in article authorship, the greater the number of anomalies detected (p < .001, d = 1.01) while for his coauthors, there were few significant relationships between their roles and total anomalies. Our results demonstrate that extensive problematic results can remain undetected for decades despite several levels of peer review and other scientific controls; however, use of two types of control groups and the use of statistical methods for measuring and evaluating anomalies can improve detection.

Race, Medieval Studies, and Disciplinary Boundaries

Abstract Debates in medieval studies about race and the global Middle Ages parallel past debates in comparative literature. Both comparative literature and medieval studies struggle with their Eurocentric origins while simultaneously trying to negotiate a non-Eurocentric approach to their respective disciplinary boundaries. While trying to globalize medieval studies, medievalists have remained in disciplinary silos, especially in regard to a transnational and transtemporal understanding of race. This article's author argues that a comparative approach to periodization, rather than holding onto a concept of the “medieval,” is a more productive way to understand premodern race.

Research and Trends in Socio-Scientific Issues Education: A Content Analysis of Journal Publications from 2004 to 2022

More and more, educational researchers have advocated for the implementation of socio-scientific issues (SSI) education. To understand the current situation of, and future development trends in, social science issues-based education research, a content analysis method was used to review articles from SSI education research publications from 2004–2022. A total of 580 research publications were identified for content analysis through a keyword search in Web of Science. The basic characteristics of, and hot topics and future development trends in SSI education research were summarized based on the research analysis, including basic information (including the number of publications, journals, titles, and authors), and the coding of the research information (including the research participants, research methods, research topics, and research fields) in the articles. The results show that the number of publications has been increasing year by year, and the journal with the most publications is the International Journal of Science Education, while Science &amp; Education has the fastest growing number of published articles. Researchers from the United States account for the largest number of authors of articles, and the focus has mainly been on research participants in K–12 education. The research methods are mainly qualitative or mixed research methods, and the research topics mainly focus on the teaching value and significance of social science issues, and the application and introduction of social science issues in subject teaching. The annual number of publications shows a significant increasing trend, while the teaching values and significance of SSI education, such as argumentation, reasoning, decision-making skills, and critical thinking, are hot topics. SSI teaching mainly focuses on environmental issues, and emphasizes the concept of sustainability. This study provides comprehensive discussions around both the basic information and research information, offering valuable insights into the current state of, and future trends in, SSI education research. It is particularly beneficial for individuals new to the SSI education field, and those with an interest in SSI.

AI as a Co-Author? We Should Also Ask Philosophical (and Ethical) Questions

Dear Editors With great interest and attention, I read authors’ short but stimulating editorial articles, which also contain extremely valuable questions [1]. The questions posed by the authors and the emphasis on referred articles reflecting different perspectives seem to reflect content about the practical benefits, risks, and inevitability of the use of technology. In addition, it is seen that the valuable comments on the article focus on issues such as the risk of harm and publication ethics issues in academic use of AI [2,3]. Considering the discourse of the article’s authors, which invites discussion, it is seen that questions that go beyond mere responsibility or practical benefits or risks should also be asked. In this context, I think that questions based on philosophical and ethical foundations should also be asked. For example, What is AI’s ontological position as a writer is a very fundamental question. That is, does AI reflect a “particular” individual/entity as “a writer”, or does it reflect cognitive domination that has the power to access and process the knowledge of entire humanity easily, or does AI reflect a collective mind or "universal" as a product of the knowledge and cognitive history of humanity as a whole? I think these questions are notable for AI’s position as an author and whether that position is acceptable. Again, should AI be considered a tool (is given instrumental purpose) or as a value in itself (has intrinsic value)? As a fundamental question, this is also important for the acceptability or position of AI as an author. Without going into deep discussions for now, for example, how or what is the difference between AI as a tool and a classical data analysis tool? Does such a difference, if any, really warrant the attribution of authorship to AI? Questions like these seem important. Although different ethical discussions seem possible, the concept of responsibility to which the authors refer seems worth discussing. For example, it is also remarkable whether AI, as a responsible subject in itself, can also become a tool for other authors to avoid some responsibilities in research and publication ethics. It is known that such a debate exists in the field of clinical ethics [4]. As a result, as the article authors said, the authorship of artificial intelligence will lead to important discussions. Therefore, it will be necessary to consider philosophical (and ethical) questions about the position of artificial intelligence. Yours sincerely,

Cases Typology for Teaching Foreign Languages to Prospective Teachers

The case technology is now mainstream among modern technologies of teaching foreign languages and cultures; foreign language lecturers actively use it. The means of its implementation are cases of different kinds and types. Purpose. The authors of this scientific article have achieved an attempt to classify professional cases of English language teachers in a secondary school. Methods. The analytical review of foreign language teachers’ professional cases classification carried out by Ukrainian methodologists is aimed to distinguish general and distinctive features of analyzed cases – the applied method of scientific research. Results. As a result of the correlation between foreign language teachers’ professional knowledge and foreign language lesson targets, types of professional cases have been identified. Linguistic cases are correlated with the practical target of the foreign language lesson, linguasocioculturalcases – with its educational target, pedagogical cases – with the upbringing target, and psychological cases – with the foreign language lesson development target. Within this combination of targets and cases, the methodological case is the universal mean of implementation of all four (five in high professional school) targets of foreign language teaching in a secondary school. Kinds of cases are specified according to their particular types by five classification criteria: the case function in the educative process, the aim of its use, the form of its representation, the number of performers, and the format of thestorage medium. Conclusion. Our outlook is based on further scientific studies that assume the design of the case complex (linguistic, lingua-sociocultural, psychological, and methodical) for Bachelor students – prospective English language teachers with the purpose to create their competence in dialogue speech.

Analyzing Learning Media for The Elderly

The church must be able to accommodate the spiritual needs of the elderly. The church needs to pay attention to learning media for the elderly so that they can understand the preaching of God's Word well and even feel closer and calmer with God in their daily lives. The purpose of this study is to explain the essence and purpose of using learning media in the context of the elderly, understand the special characteristics and challenges faced in using learning media for the elderly, provide practical guidance in applying various types of learning media for the elderly, analyze the use of special learning media for the elderly, and explore its implementation in the context of Christian Education. The chosen research methodology is literature research, which involves examining and incorporating ideas and viewpoints from various authors of books and articles. These sources serve as valuable references for our study in the field of literature. From the research findings, it can be concluded that educators or pastors need to have a deep understanding of the background of learning problems experienced by the elderly. This is important so that they can choose the type and characteristics of learning media that are appropriate and suitable for the elderly. Regardless of the form of learning media chosen, it is important to pay attention to the needs according to the physical and psychological conditions of the elderly.

Educational Resources Developers’ Copyright

Introduction. Development of digital technologies, expansion of the spheres of distant learning implementation in the context of providing the educational services has resulted in creation and location of large amount of informational content at the open educational resources and institutional websites with access restricted for the external users. As consequence, there arise issues of authorship and copyright holding of the above-mentioned content, the limits of using the intellectual activity results of the authors of such content, distribution of remuneration received for its commercial use, as well as protection of subjects’ copyright whenever it is violated.Materials and Methods. The present study is based on the works of Russian and foreign researchers on copyright, on provisions of the Russian Federation Civil and Labor Law, as well as on the legislation of foreign countries. General scientific and specific scientific methods were used, such as the method of comparative legal studies, which allowed finding out approaches for solving the set forth problems in the frame of the other jurisdictions.Results. The conducted research shows that the problem of unlawful use of the educational content and protection of the rights of the content authors and copyright holders is widely spread and is especially relevant for the open educational resources. The authors of the present article have come to the conclusion that educational online content should be qualified as a complex piece of work and at the same time as a computer software and a unique database. The limits of free use of such a product should be specifically stipulated, i.e. for personal use, for non commercial use. For settling disputes between the authors and educational institutions, it is proposed to specify in an employment contract the types of pieces of work that are considered institutional ones, and to determine the conditions for using them among the parties.Discussion and Conclusions. The investigated problems of creating and locating the large informational-educational content, of using and processing the results of intellectual activity of the authors of such content, distributing the remuneration received for its commercial use, as well as protecting the rights of subjects in case of violation, have great practical importance, because the findings can be applied to solving the problems of exclusive ownership of the institutional pieces of work.

The Relative Citation Ratio: An Impartial Assessment of Productivity in Academic Otolaryngologists.

Quantification of academic productivity relies on bibliometric measurements, such as the Hirsch index (h-index). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently developed the relative citation ratio (RCR), an article-level, citation-driven metric that compares researchers with others within their respective fields. Our study is the first to compare the usage of RCR in academic otolaryngology. Retrospective Database Review. Academic otolaryngology residency programs were identified using the 2022 Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database. Demographic and training data were collected for surgeons using institutional websites. RCR was calculated using the NIH iCite tool, and h-index was calculated using Scopus. Mean RCR (m-RCR) is the average score of the author's articles. Weighted RCR (w-RCR) is the sum of all article scores. These derivatives are a measure of impact and output, respectively. The career duration of a physician was categorized into the following cohorts: 0-10, 11-20, 21-30, and 31+ years. A total of 1949 academic otolaryngologists were identified. Men had higher h-indices and w-RCRs than women (both p less than 0.001). m-RCR was not different between genders (p = 0.083). There was a difference in h-index and w-RCR (both p less than 0.001) among the career duration cohorts, but there was no difference in m-RCR among the cohorts (p = 0.416). The faculty rank professor was the greatest for all metrics (p < 0.001). Critics of the h-index argue that it is reflective of the time a researcher has spent in the field, instead of impact. The RCR may reduce historic bias against women and younger otolaryngologists. NA Laryngoscope, 134:592-599, 2024.
