Society Research

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) research has burgeoned in the past several decades. Despite significant advances, our review of the literature reveals a problematic gap: We know little about how culture, practices, and interactions shape CSR. On further investigation, we discover that limited research utilizes ethnography to understand CSR, which may provide some explanation for this gap. Thus, the purpose of this article is to illustrate the utility of ethnography for advancing business and society research via a multistage framework that demonstrates how three different types of ethnography may be applied to the exploration of CSR. We specifically focus on the alignment between stages in the research process, or methodological fit, as a key criterion of high-quality research. In doing so, we provide researchers embracing different worldviews a tool they may utilize to conduct and evaluate ethnographies in business and society research.

The Past

Nursing research on race and racism began in the 1970s. However, because these concepts were seen as cultural attitudes, race and racism were obscured. The evidence on the presence of negative attitudes, biases, and stereotypes about different racial and ethnic groups is inconsistent. During the past two decades, research on race and racism has grown, but there is still an urgent need for more high-quality research on this subject. The major recommendations from this review are to conduct observational research on racism in clinical and practice settings, not as an intellectual end in itself; to assist in eliminating of the historically based disparities among members of racial and ethnic groups; and to conduct research about racism as it affects mobility in educational and practice settings.

E Learning

E-learning is the electronic version of distance learning: a planned teaching that presupposes a physical separation between the teacher and the student. The distance is either geographic or temporal, and communication can be asynchronous or synchronous, respectively. E-learning has been a target of high-quality research for the last two decades. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the scientific production on e-learning in journals indexed on Elsevier’s Scopus. The sample was composed by 25330 articles from 2000 to 2019. The results obtained by bibliometric analysis showed that rates publication continue to increase. A report was made on the journals, languages, authors, keywords, organizations and countries that publish in the field. This analysis was done for all articles as well as for the most cited articles. The bibliometric analysis was done for a total of 20 years, as well as for four 5-year periods. This article provides information from the past, but mostly clues about research on e-learning in the future.

AbstractOver the past decade, the positive education movement has grown, with the rapid increase of research, curricula, programs, and approaches to supporting wellbeing within educational communities. We introduce positive education, unpacking the positive perspective, considering how positive education emerged from this perspective, and discussing the implications moving forward. We then provide an overview of the chapters within this Handbook. Aligned with the valuing of open dialogue and diverse perspectives, authors provide various definitions of, perspectives around, and approaches to positive education. The Handbook attempts to give light to the plurality of models and perspectives, highlights high-quality research and research-to-practice efforts, incorporates a broad range of topics, and includes international and multi-disciplinary approaches. As a whole, the Handbook aims to support collective efforts to create and shape educational environments that allow all members of our educational communities to thrive, both now and for future generations.

Learning Research

The purpose of this review is to represent the significance of learning the research methods in art and design, specifically. The review particularly focuses on learning the methods provided by two key researchers in art and design fields. In the book titled “visualize research: a guide to the research process in art and design", the authors take the reader into a journey with the powerful perception of visual thinking through the experimental approach used in this research category. The review also represents the authors’ emphasis on learning research methods to conduct high-quality research studies in art and design, which ultimately impacts the world.

Abstract Background Surgeons are frequently compared in terms of their publication activity to members of other disciplines who publish in journals with naturally higher impact factors. The time intensity of daily clinical duties in surgery is yet not comparable to that of these competitor disciplines. Purpose Here, we aimed to critically comment on ways for improving the academic productivity of university surgerons. Conclusions To ensure high-quality science in surgery, it is imperative that surgeons actively ask for and generate the time for high-quality research. This necessitates coordinated and combined efforts of leading university surgeons at the political level and effective presentation of the magnificent studies performed by young and talented university surgeons.

Only those truly cryptozoic for all of 2010 could have missed the bustle and concern created by the Australian Commonwealth?s Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative (http://www.arc.gov.au/era/default.htm). In common with other national research assessment exercises such as the RAE (UK) and PBRF (New Zealand), ERA is designed to assess research quality within the Australian higher education sector, identifying and rewarding those institutions and departments producing high-quality research. The linkages between achievement, recognition and reward have the potential to shape the research priorities and agendas of institutions and individual researchers.
