TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF “E&amp;M ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT”: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

E&amp;M Economics and Management (E&amp;M), originally founded in 1998, is dedicated to promoting advancements in the fields of Economics and Management based on theoretical and empirical analyses. Motivated by its 25th anniversary in 2023, this paper utilizes bibliometrics to make a comprehensive analysis of publications of the E&amp;M that are included in Social Sciences Edition of the Web of Science (WoS). First, we make a performance analysis of the related publications to present the development and distribution of the E&amp;M publications between January 2008 and April 2022 from the aspects of publication and citation structure. Second, a visual analysis of the literature called science-mapping analysis is implemented to display the structural and dynamic organization of knowledge of the E&amp;M publications with the help of bibliometric tools VOSviewer and Bibliometrix. Finally, the paper discusses the evolution of E&amp;M and some of the limitations and prospects to help editors and researchers understand how E&amp;M has evolved over time and where it can be improved. This paper also provides a model of future effective analytical methods for assessing the data from a particular journal. According to the findings, researchers throughout the world publish in this journal on a regular basis. E&amp;M is growing significantly during twenty-five years, and is becoming one of the influential journals in the fields of Economics and Management.

ORYOL AND KOSTROMA RESEARCHERS OF RUSSIAN FOLKISH WORD: ORYOL-KOSTROMA TIES

The new works of dialectologists from Turgenev Oryol State University – issues of the large-scale alphabetical Dictionary of Oryol patois and small thematic vocabularies, monographs, scientific articles etc – are analysed in the article. The topic of the long-standing scientific and cultural ties between Kostroma and Oryol dialectologists, in the form of presentations at conferences held at Kostroma State University in recent years, is addressed as well. The next 2 volumes of the “Dictionary of Oryol patoisˮ – vol. 16, letters У to Ф, and vol. 17, letters Х to Ц [Dictionaries of Oryol patois-16 and -17] are in comparative perspective with the similar dictionary collections in this and other Russian regions in number of entries, composition and source of words, in peculiarities of lexical semantisation. The contribution of their compilers, the scientific editor of the Dictionary's editions, as well as their collaborators and colleagues in the study of Oryol folkish patois is well defined; their reliance on the works of the preceding generations of Oryol linguists is addressed as well. The work of those representatives of Oryol dialectological school under the guidance of Tat'yana Vasil'yevna Bakhvalova, who strengthened the scientific ties, both thematic and subject, with Kostroma dialectologists through the participation in joint research projects and scientific meetings, mainly connected with the systematic holding the readings in memory of Aleksandr Gromov at Kostroma State University, is noted. The conclusion about the fruitfulness of the forms of cooperation between Oryol and Kostroma dialectologists is made.

Kathy Stern: Graphic Arts Director for the New England Journal of Medicine

Kathy Stern, the Graphic Arts Director at the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), is familiar with the adage “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Over her 29-year career with the NEJM, Kathy has drawn and overseen countless images telling myriad stories and has thus contributed millions of “words” to the information shared with NEJM readers. Images range from in-house illustrations drawn by medical illustrators, to line art graphs, photographs submitted by physician-authors, still images captured from videos created in-house, interactive online elements, and more. In this interview, Kathy discusses how she started in the production department back in the days of paste-up layout and now oversees a department of more than 20 employees working with state-of-the-art digital tools. Science Editor: How did you get started with your career at the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)? Kathy Stern: I started out working in a production facility that wasn’t even part of the editorial office. We communicated with a production coordinator in Boston (where the NEJM editorial offices are located) who worked directly with the editors. NEJM was one of several products that the production facility of the Massachusetts Medical Society served, but it was, by far, the biggest product. It was a massive amount of detail work. Everything was done with manual layout with precision cutting knives, acetate, and wax. We would create 14 different proofs that went out to 14 different people. Our main focus was the level of detail; everything had to be exactly right. If […]

Eric Pesanelli: Utilizing Tools and Resources to Ensure Image Integrity in Scholarly Publishing

Graphic arts cover an ever-expanding range of options, and those who major in it in college might expect their job titles to be graphic designer or perhaps professor of graphic design. The field plays an intriguing role in scholarly publishing, and ideally the results display information effectively and meaningfully to readers. As Publisher, Art at the American Physiological Society (APS), Eric Pesanelli is responsible for the production and quality control of all artwork published in APS journals, from developing policy and procedures for journal artwork production to supervising art department staff and independent contract artists and managing the process for addressing image integrity. Science Editor’s Anna Jester recently spoke with Eric about how he came to his position at APS and how he approaches his role in ensuring image quality and integrity. Science Editor: Please tell us about your job and whether your position historically existed at your organization. Eric Pesanelli: I am not the first to be in this position, and titles evolve over time, but I am the first person with this job title at my organization who has had to address image integrity as a major component of the department’s responsibilities. Previously, as the Editorial Art Manager for APS, I was managing production art editing for all the APS journals. Neither myself nor my staff have any scientific training beyond a few college level courses—we are all graphic arts majors. We do understand how images and graphics are created and published and began seeing and questioning irregularities […]

Bibliology (book science) and its practical applications in the works of Professor Barbara Bieńkowska (1934–2022)

Professor Barbara Bieńkowska (1934–2022), among others director of the Institute of Library and Information Science at the University of Warsaw (1981–1987), president of the Polish Bibliological Society (1989–2003, since 2003 honorary president of PTB), member and chairwoman of the scientific and program councils of many scientific institutions and editorial boards, left behind more than 170 articles and books. Among them, there is no shortage of publications of fundamental importance to the development of Polish bibliology, to its achievements, theory and methodology. This article focuses on B. Bieńkowska’s studies of the history of Polish books and historical book collections, research on the losses of Polish libraries during World War II, as well as the scientific registration and documentation of Polish and Polonia’s collections and Polish writing collections remaining outside Poland.

Gender inequality and self-publication are common among academic editors

Scientific editors shape the content of academic journals and set standards for their fields. Yet, the degree to which the gender makeup of editors reflects that of scientists, and the rate at which editors publish in their own journals, are not entirely understood. Here, we use algorithmic tools to infer the gender of 81,000 editors serving more than 1,000 journals and 15 disciplines over five decades. Only 26% of authors in our dataset are women, and we find even fewer women among editors (14%) and editors-in-chief (8%). Career length explains the gender gap among editors, but not editors-in-chief. Moreover, by analysing the publication records of 20,000 editors, we find that 12% publish at least one-fifth, and 6% publish at least one-third, of their papers in the journal they edit. Editors-in-chief tend to self-publish at a higher rate. Finally, compared with women, men have a higher increase in the rate at which they publish in a journal soon after becoming its editor.

New edition of Boriu Zevzeka's Selected Works

The new collection of humorous and satirical works by Boris Rumenov (Boryu Zewzeka) "Hear Something Cheerful" is compiled by Kalina Zahova and scientific editor Andrei Tashev. The texts included in the collection cover the entire time span in which the writer worked - from the beginning of the 20th century until his assassination in the autumn of 1944, and reveal to the full extent the genre and thematic diversity of his artistic heritage. Some of the works in the present volume appear for the first time since their original publication.

Now You See It, Now You Don’t: Obfuscation of Online Third-Party Information Sharing

The practice of sharing online user information with external third parties has become the focal point of privacy concerns for consumer advocacy groups and policy makers. We explore the decisions by websites regarding the obfuscation that they use to make it difficult for users to discover the extent of information sharing. Using a Bayesian model, we shed light on the websites’ incentive to obfuscate user information sharing. We find that as content sensitivity increases, a website reduces its level of obfuscation. Furthermore, more popular websites engage in higher levels of obfuscation than less popular ones. We provide an empirical analysis of obfuscation and user information sharing in News (low content sensitivity) and Health (high content sensitivity) websites and confirm key results from our analytical model. Our analysis illustrates that obfuscation of information sharing is a viable strategy that websites use to improve their profits.

Aspects of media communication in social networks

The peer-reviewed two-volume monograph Social Networks: A Comprehensive Linguistic Analysis (2021) is devoted to the study of the existence of language in modern social networks. The first volume covers the general issues of the linguistic study of Internet communication, its linguocognitive and discursive aspects, as well as its characteristic speech genres. The second volume provides a description of linguo-personological, conflictological and linguo-didactic aspects of communication in social networks. Each volume has a predetermined structural sequence: an introduction by the scientific editor, three chapters, and an off-text bibliographiс list. Social networks in today’s world implement mainly the integrative function of language, aimed at overcoming spatio-temporal restrictions. An auxiliary machine translation option provided for major international Internet platforms also aims to remove the language barrier. The disintegrative potential of social networks, as an antinomic pandan of the integrative function, is manifested in the physical isolation and anonymization of users. The leading trends in the intralinguistic nature of media interaction should be recognized as the determination of industry terminologies as well as the hybridization of texts (turning them into hypertexts by supplying hyperlinks, supplying them metacommunicative symbols, etc.). The extralinguistic features include the massive nature of Internet bilingualism. In general, social networks continue the transhumanistic mission of language in the virtual space: to serve as a means of overcoming the negative aspects of being through the mediatization of man and society, which is expressed by such properties of Internet communication as achronism, acentricity (rhizomorphism), hybridity and alinearity.

З КОГОРТИ ОРГАНІЗАТОРІВ НАРОДОЗНАВЧОГО ТА КРАЄЗНАВЧОГО РУХУ: АКАДЕМІК АНДРІЙ ЛОБОДА

The article highlights the scientific and organizational activities of an outstanding scientist, an academician of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (UAS) (since 1921, the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (UAS), a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, a professor at Kyiv University, an organizer of the national science, folk and local studies movement, a specialist in the fields of ethnography, folkloristics, local history and literature of Andrii Myrofanovych Loboda (1871–1931). Some program works of A. Loboda are analyzed, attention is focused on the scientist’s interpretation of the subject of local history, substantiation of its role in the development of various branches of science, the place of the folklore-ethnographic component in local history, and the formulation of tasks faced by ethnologists of the republic. A. Loboda’s significant contribution to the formation of an organized local history movement in the 20s of the XX century is emphasized: insisting on the need to accelerate the development of the local history movement in Ukraine, leading the activities of the Local History Commission (Kyiv Local History Commission) and the Ethnographic Commission of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, which became one of the most important folklore and ethnographic centers of Ukraine and played an important role in the development of Ukrainian ethnology. Emphasis is placed on the official publications of the commissions. In addition to highlighting the great scientific organizational, editorial and pedagogical work carried out by A. Loboda at the beginning and in the 20s of the 20th century, the directions of his scientific research during this period are also outlined: new phenomena in folklore and folk life, continuation of research with history of national folkloristics and ethnography, close monitoring of folklore and ethnographic processes not only in Ukraine, but also in other republics of the USSR, prompt response to important publications in the field of folklore and ethnography. The author of the article provides suggestions on the possible use of certain aspects of the experience of those years in modern conditions.

Роль особистості у організації комунікації «музей–відвідувач» (пам’яті Віри Франчук)

The article highlights the role of personality in the creation of museum exhibitions. Among the pleiad of prominent museum figures of the second half of the last century was Vira Franchuk (1916–2014). She managed the Geological Museum of the Natural Museum of Natural History NAS of Ukraine during its radical change in the 1960s. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, Franchuk organised temporary exhibitions in each year. She constantly organised field work and brought new valuable exhibits from business trips and enriched the scientific collections. The materials collected by her impress with their brightness, clarity, attractiveness, and correspond to the essence of scientific collections. And this also shows the reflection of the high erudition and versatility of the personality of V. P. Franchuk. Vira Prokopivna went from a young field geologist to a successful manager capable of bringing a private project (which was first a geological museum) to world level. Under her leadership, five widely visited exhibition halls were created displaying materials from Ukraine and all over the world—about five thousand geological specimens. She left a rich legacy of scientific and popular science publications that have not lost their relevance to this day. A distinctive feature of Franchuk was the love of stone, its unique beauty, which is transmitted to the visitor in carefully selected spectacular specimens. In combination with explanatory text, photographs, diagrams, and geological cuts, the visitor receives a complete imaginary model of the geological environment. The creation of a museum space under the direction of Franchuk was using versatile communication capabilities. For a long time, Franchuk led the scientific editing of the geology and geography sections of the Ukrainian Soviet Encyclopaedia, and for her active participation in its preparation and publication, she was awarded the diploma of the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The high standard for material selection and qualitative visualization of scientific knowledge laid down by the team of geologists under the leadership of Franchuk, until this operate on a worthy level for the benefit of enlightenment and science popularisation.

Chat GPT: a promising tool for academic editing

Academic editing is a crucial task to ensure the quality and accuracy of scientific works. However, reviewing and editing large amounts of text can be a daunting and time-consuming task. Artificial intelligence-based language models, such as Chat GPT, have proven to be useful in detecting and correcting grammatical errors, improving the coherence and clarity of text, and generating additional content. The purpose of this communication is to explore the potential of Chat GPT as a tool for academic editing. The potential of Chat GPT as a tool for academic editing includes its ability to process large amounts of text and understand the structure of language, allowing for error detection, writing quality improvement, translation, summarization, data analysis, and identifying emerging trends. It should be noted that language models like Chat GPT have the potential to transform academic editing and improve the quality of scientific works. However, some limitations and challenges that must be addressed to fully harness the potential of this emerging technology were identified, and scientific editors should be aware of its limitations.
