A Study on Historical Context and Significance of Journalism in India

As mentioned earlier, the first newspaper in India, the Bengal Gazette, was launched in 1780 by James Augustus Hickey. The paper was published in English and had a circulation of only 400 copies. Despite its small readership, the Bengal Gazette paved the way for the growth of the Indian press. In the early years of Indian journalism, most newspapers were owned and operated by British colonizers. These newspapers mainly focused on the interests of the British ruling class and catered to their needs. However, as Indian nationalism grew, Indian journalists began to challenge British dominance in the media and started publishing newspapers that reflected the views and aspirations of the Indian people.

DEVELOPING AN INTEGRAL INDICATOR OF SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS DEVELOPMENT

Currently, the issue of determining the rating and scientific significance of journals remains very important. It provides a review of the methods for assessing the quality of Russian and foreign journals. Purpose of work. The aim of the study is to develop mathematical models allowing to simulate and predict the dynamics of an integral indicator of the scientific development of a journal. Materials and methods. The paper defines the set of scientometric indicators for assessing the scientific significance of journals. The independence of factors was investigated using a matrix of matching correlation coefficients. A method for obtaining a mathematical dependence that reflects the relationship between the selected scientometric indicators and the integral indicator, based on the application of the multidimensional average method, is proposed. The ranking of factors is performed by the expert method. The weight coefficients were calculated using the Fishburne method. As the source data, we used available information from the scholarly e-library. The results of the study. Using the formula obtained, the values of the integral indicator for 7 years have been calculated from the source data using the example of the Journal 1. Using a similar technique, we derived the dependence of the integral indicator on key indicators of the Journal 2, for which the Science Index indicator has not been defined. The forecast of bibliometric indicators (factors) and the integral index of the journal for the next three years is made. To predict the nature of the change in factors (number of citations), anquadratic and cubic dependence is selected. The influence of joint change of factors on the integral indicator is investigated. Discussion and conclusions. The developed mathematical models can be used to analyze changes in the complex of scientometric indicators over time when designing a development strategy for scientific journals and making managerial decisions.

Mapping Political Discussions on Twitter: Where the Elites Remain Elites

This article compares digital arenas such as Twitter with the principles prescribed by the bourgeois public sphere, to examine how close or far these arenas are from Habermas’ original concept. By focusing on one of the criteria, the current influence of elites on political debate, it discusses the Habermasian principles of general accessibility and non-dominance of the elites as prerequisites for a functioning public sphere. This study finds that even though there are few access restrictions on Twitter and despite the fact that no one, in principle, is excluded from the platform, there is no apparent elimination of privileges and the elites maintain their elite status within its borders. Methodologically, the article relies on empirical research of hashtagged exchanges on Twitter during the General Elections in the United Kingdom in 2015. Through the mapping of Twitter as a synthesis of dialogic arenas, it explores the elite-focused discourse and the vocal actors in the stream, underscoring that the presence of the elites, even in an indirect way. Drawing on these elements, the article argues for a reconceptualization of the normative perception of the public sphere, suggesting the notion of <em>exclusion </em>is a complex issue that includes expanding notions of <em>publics </em>to also include those <em>topics </em>being discussed. Finally, it focuses on the significance of journalism in relation to political dialogue and argues that the move towards less elite-centered arenas largely depends on journalism.

Introduction

This special issue of Visual Resources brings together studies of some of the principal journals and themes related to the history of the international art press in the twentieth century. Journals have played a crucial role in the art world and in the study of art history: often the site of new scholarship or interpretation, they also illuminate the role of the art critic and art criticism and the relationship of these to artistic practice. Moreover, periodicals often reveal the complexities of the wider art world, including the art market and art funding; they can also be examined as works of art in their own right. This special issue explores these and other themes, demonstrating the rich diversity embedded in this nascent field of scholarly research and underscoring the significance of journals within the sphere of art publishing. The collection focuses on the twentieth century, which witnessed the emergence of the modern specialist art magazine. It concludes before the digital revolution in publishing in the early twenty-first century, which has already prompted dramatic changes in the periodicals landscape. Through case studies drawn from across Europe and the United States, this special issue aims to present a significant contribution to a growing body of research and literature within the discipline of art history.

The World Made by Human Studies

In 19791 spent the summer at a National Endowment for the Humanities sum? mer seminar at Princeton with Richard Rorty, an experience which had nu? merous consequences, including a very Rortyan paper subsequently published in Human Studies called "Social theory without wholes" (1984). Over this summer I also worked on a manuscript that grew out a long article published in Human Studies on Weber and the fact-value distinction entitled "The lim? its of reason and some limitations of Weber's morality" (Turner and Factor, 1979). The research I was doing in the Princeton library was primarily con? cerned with filling in the context in which Weber had made his famous state? ments about fact and value, and also with examining the sequelae of those writings in subsequent philosophy. This topic represents an important and dis? tinctive strand in the tradition of continental philosophy, something that has now increasingly come to be recognized (for example in Safranski's recent book on Heidegger, 1998). During that summer I came to recognize, although in a very dim way, the significance of journals as communities, and what I recognized has a great deal of bearing on my own appreciation for Human Studies. In tracking down and copying journal versions of articles in such journals as Logos, the journal of the philosophy of culture in which Rickert, Weber, and Simmel played the defining role, I entered a world of ghosts. I was well aware of the relations among these three, their relation to Jaspers, the antagonism to Scheler, and Scheler's relation to Heidegger. Something else stayed with me, however. The texts that I was looking for at Princeton not infrequently were no longer shelved in Firestone, the main library, but had been transferred across the river to a utilitarian but brightly lit storage library which one was able to browse, just as one could browse the stacks of Firestone itself. There I found, adjacent to the volumes I was looking for, a large number of exceptionally beautifully bound and produced journals, in German, on subjects that had, to use the Bismarkian expression of the German politics of the time, had their day in the sun, a day that in some cases ended abruptly in 1933. Today, only a specialist in the history of the human sciences could so much as write a long paragraph explaining what the intellectual movements that produced these impressive journals actually were about. But these shelved and

On the significance of journals in science education: the case ofIJSE

Science education is provided for a range of purposes which are central to the lives of individuals, to the conduct of societies, and to the improvement of economies. Research in science education is undertaken to understand science education more clearly and to identify ways in which it can be improved. Journals in science education exist to record and disseminate accounts of good research into science education. The practice of science education, research into that practice and journals all face a number of challenges as science education takes an increasingly central role in both formal and informal educational provision world‐wide. The challenges and the ways that they are addressed will govern the future significance of journals in science education. Some avenues for future development are discussed and the potential contribution of the International Journal of Science Education to their realization is suggested.
