Концептуальные подходы и программа полимасштабного исследования миграции иностранных студентов в России

Introduction. Student immigration is considered as one of the most active forms of youth spatial mobility. The main task of the study is to develop conceptual approaches and a program for studying the spatial features of student immigration in Russia. Materials and research methods. The study is based on the analysis of extensive literature materials that reveal the main theoretical and methodological provisions of the analysis of educational migrations. Their strengths and weaknesses have been established, the need to develop new approaches related to identifying the spatial aspects of international student migration has been proved. Results of the study and their discussion. Based on the key theoretical and methodological provisions and the revealed facts, taking into account our own proposals and accumulated experience, a conceptual scheme and a program for studying the features of the spatial differentiation of student migration in Russia have been developed. As core areas of research, the following are proposed: identifying spatio-temporal features of development and differentiation of processes associated with the immigration of foreign students at the global, country and regional-local levels; establishing positional factors influencing decision-making when choosing places to receive higher education abroad; disclosure of intra-country inequality in the distribution of foreign students depending on the characteristics of the sending countries and receiving regions; detection of country and regional models of adaptive behavior of foreign students. In accordance with the logic of the developed concept, a program for studying the spatial features of the immigration of foreign students in Russia is presented. The step-by-step algorithm of the research program includes several stages, reflecting the nature and content of the main tasks to be solved. Conclusions. An analysis of the state of the theoretical and methodological base on the problem of migration of foreign students made it possible to establish the lack of elaboration of aspects related to the spatial features of their transformation and, in particular, the adaptation of foreign students in host countries. The proposed conceptual approaches and research program are aimed at filling the identified gaps.

Citation Analysis of Business Research: An International Journal in the Field of Business

<p>The present study is citation analysis of Business Research. It covers 18 issues of 9 volumes of Business Research published bi-annually during the period 2008-2016. The analysis covers the study of citation pattern and chronological growth citations. It also covers authorship pattern of the articles and various information sources of cited material. On the basis of citation analysis, a rank list of journals is prepared and core journals in the field of Business research are identified. Similarly, core areas of research are identified. The study reveals that researchers have cited journals (77.33%) more than books, editorial works and all other sources of information. Growth in collaborative trend of writing papers is also noticed as citations contributed by two authors is (37.67%) and single authors is (33.42%) followed by three authors (21.59%). Half-life of journal’s citations is found to be fourteen years. Bradford’s law doesn’t found fit in the study. Academy of Management Journal (157 citations), Strategic Management Journal (141 citations) and The Journal of Finance (136 citations) are the most cited journals. Supply chain management and advertising are the two main areas of research among researchers.</p>

Uruguay, Gateway to Nineteenth‐Century Cultural History of the Río de la Plata

AbstractArgentina occupies a prominent place in Latin American historiography. Latin Americanists as well as historians of other world regions are less familiar, though, with the intensity of cultural, political, and economic flows that defined the broader region of the Río de la Plata, comprising today’s Uruguay and Argentina specifically, as well as Paraguay and southern Brazil more generally. Such exchanges of goods, ideas, and people were especially true of the late colonial period and the nineteenth century. Yet in this equation studies of Uruguay have remained on the margins in historical scholarship. This essay focuses on three core areas of research in the recent historiography of Uruguay as a gateway to nineteenth‐century cultural history of the Río de la Plata region. These areas are: (1) the African diaspora and blackness; (2) political culture and cultural history; and (3) a revitalized political history that draws from intellectual history and new energy surrounding the bicentennials of independence throughout Latin America. Knowledge of the historical forces shaping nineteenth‐century Uruguay not only contributes to a more complete understanding of the region’s cultural history; it also allows for the development of a historical perspective that is much more in tune with the historical experience of the region’s inhabitants throughout the long nineteenth century. Moreover, students and scholars of Argentina will note some parallels in research problems, though seeing them through the Uruguay prism can yield alternative approaches and point to previously unknown or under‐utilized source bases.

The Internet in six words or less

PurposeThis paper seeks to present six key articles from the archives of Internet Research within a research framework, covering infrastructure, organization, commerce, governance, linking, and interface.Design/methodology/approachThe six articles are introduced, summarized, and used to focus attention on each of the core areas of research that impacted the growth of the Internet.FindingsThe prism of time is one of the most powerful tools of observation available to scientists and researchers. Palaeontologists think in terms of aeons, archaeologists consider millennia a mere starting‐point, even the biologists, chemists, and physicists have centuries of prior research to consider. Internet Research, the Journal, is only 20 years old – and the field only slightly older than that. Yet what decades those have been. Six articles from the early years of Internet Research epitomize much of the innovation, excitement, challenges and vision that would reshape the world. While tremendous advances in technology have been made in the past 20 years, a number of the original issues and challenges remain unresolved.Practical implicationsThe paper serves to frame the historic articles within a broader research context.Originality/valueThe paper provides a conceptual framework for researchers seeking insights into some of the early formative research on the Internet and web.
