Selection of Periodicals to Support Nanotechnology Research     

V. S. Lazarev  I. V. Yurik 《Scientific and Technical Information Processing》2018,45(2):87-99

A comprehensive method for the selection of international scientific periodicals necessary for high-quality research in specific life sciences and technology problems is presented. This method is based on the analysis of citations considering both the citedeness of selected editions in specialized journals and their citing to specialized journals. A list of international journals and other periodicals that are vital for high-quality nanotechnology research was obtained. Based on this list, the development of a documentary constituent of the scientific information environment using a research library to support nanotechnology research is expected. A final list consisting of 572 items was compiled based on the application of “threshold” values and the aggregation and exclusion of data.  相似文献   

Selection of serial publications to support researchers (based on the example of scientific works on nuclear power)     

V. S. Lazarev  A. V. Skalaban  I. V. Yurik  P. A. Lis  D. A. Kachan 《Scientific and Technical Information Processing》2017,44(3):196-206

A comprehensive methodology for selecting the world’s scientific periodicals that are necessary to carry out research on specific natural science and technical directions is given based on the use of citation analysis taking into account both citation indexes of selected publications in specialized journals and their citation of specialized journals. A list of world journals and other publications is obtained based on which it is suggested to create the corresponding scientific and information environment.  相似文献   

School Processes That Can Drive Scaling-Up of an Innovation or Contribute to Its Abandonment

This five-year study focused on school processes that promoted the scaling-up of a high school academic literacy framework, Reading Apprenticeship, developed by WestEd's Strategic Literacy Initiative (SLI). Implementing an innovative strategy for scaling-up involving school-based cross-disciplinary teacher teams, SLI brought the framework to 274 schools across five states. Our study was guided by research literature that viewed scale-up as increasing local ownership and depth of commitment. Our goal was to measure SLI's success in terms of the numbers of students, teachers, and schools reached, and to evaluate the success of SLI's innovation through metrics that would be indicative of the program taking hold in schools, and ultimately, its scalability.

We developed a longitudinal data set based on teacher and principal surveys, participant records, and school demographics that allowed us to measure implementation over time and to identify program and school characteristics that predicted the increase or decrease in participation. We found early indications of uptake and enthusiasm for Reading Apprenticeship, but greater variation in responses across schools by the third year. Using regression analysis, we found that initial teacher participation in team meetings and schoolwide commitment predicted “scaling-in” within a school. We hypothesized that a process, consistent with SLI's use of cross-disciplinary teacher teams, led to increased and sustained program participation. This study contributes to the field of scale-up research through identifying intermediate teacher outcomes that predict scaling-in and that were not as prevalent in an RCT conducted in parallel, illustrating the weakness of large-scale RCTs as an appropriate context for measuring impact of an innovation that is being scaled up.  相似文献   

Study of a Russian University’s Organisational Culture in Transition from Planned to Market Economy     

Victor Pushnykh  Valeriy Chemeris 《Tertiary Education and Management》2006,12(2):161-182

The transition from a planned centralist economy to a market economy over the last decade of the 20th century has presented Russian universities with many profound challenges. These challenges require universities to review and consider their organisational culture and deserve careful study. This paper describes the changes that have taken place at Tomsk Polytechnic University – one of oldest, largest and leading Russian universities.  相似文献
