This article analyses different methodological approaches adopted by theoretical articles published in translation studies journals. To account for the range of perspectives, a small corpus comprising articles from three journals listed in both the Thomson and Reuters Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) was studied. The article discusses how the methods used could gain in rigor from being formalized. It begins by defining translation theory before outlining a corpus of articles to be studied. It then moves onto describing and discussing four methodologies to provide recommendations for conducting future research in translation theory.

Practical Implications

This study aims to analyze status, trends, and possible future research areas in the literature on “disability and work.” It is an in-depth analysis of articles related to this field, published during 1991–2017, in journals included in the Science and Social Sciences Citation Index. Bibliometric methods helped to describe evolution in publications, the most representative contributors, methods applied, main concepts and theories, and topics explored (content analysis). A co-word analysis allowed to create knowledge maps on topics and identify potential venues for future research. The contribution is threefold. First, it contributes to knowledge advancement concerning disability in workplaces, opening new possibilities to discover important research areas. Second, it offers conceptual, theoretical, and methodological suggestions for future research. Third, it has practical implications related to inclusive strategies and initiatives in the workplace which human resource practitioners can use to promote the participation of workers with disabilities improving their labor experience.

The article examines the number of contributions to scientific journals by authors from various OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries in 1998–2000 according to the commonly used ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) databases SSCI (Social Sciences Citation Index), A&HCI (Arts and Humanities Citation Index) and SCI Expanded (Science Citation Index Expanded). The number of contributions per million inhabitants is related to the main language of the country, the gross domestic product per capita and whether a country is a former socialist country or not. The social sciences, the arts and humanities, and the natural sciences are studied separately. It turns out that there is a tendency for a higher publication rate for English-language countries, slightly lower for countries with small languages, and even smaller for countries with large non-English languages. This is consistent with the hypotheses that there is a bias in the data bases from the ISI such that English-language journals tend to be overrepresented, that scholars from English-language countries write almost exclusively in English, and that scholars from other countries tend to publish less in English and more in their domestic language the larger their domestic language. This calls for caution in using these databases for international comparisons of research activity.

As previous research has established that communication and public relations play a crucial role, to understand the resources needed for effective online intervention has been proven particularly helpful to locate in time the central issue. Science citation index expanded (SCI-EXPANED) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) database on web of science are gleaned, concerning advances in online authority research. The result indicates that the main research territory is England, accounting for 30%, then followed by USA and Spain of 20% respectively. The number of publication literature on this topic mainly distributes in recent 5 years, reaching climax of 4 in 2011. And from the analysis of research area, research on communication accounts for 40%, then followed by computer science of 30%. Overall, the related research topics can be classified in four areas: evaluation of the online authority, cognitive search models, authority in online community and online authority communication. Finally, new opportunities for future research are discussed.

The 21st century has witnessed vast amounts of research into blended learning since the conception of online learning formed the possibility of blended learning in the early 1990s. The theme of this paper is blended learning in mainstream disciplinary communities. In particular, the paper reports on findings from the last two decades which looked at origination, development and future of blended learning through articles and other research publications. Based on over thirty journal articles indexed in Social Sciences Citation Index and other important databases, coupled with other related publications, this study explored the definition, advantages and problems of blended learning, arriving at the conclusion that more deficits may exist in either sole online or classroom learning compared with blended learning which combines both approaches although there may still be a certain number of disputes over blended learning. Educational and non-educational institutions may be wise to innovate their pedagogy towards a blended mode despite economic costs and other possible losses.

Bu makalede İran ve Türkiye’nin dünya bilgibilim literatürüne katkıları araştırılmaktadır. Bu amaçla, çalışmamızda Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) kapsamında yer alan dergilerde yayımlanmış İran ve Türkiye adresli yayınlar incelenmektedir. İki ülkenin bilgibilim dergilerinde toplam 140 yayını bulunmaktadır. Söz konusu yayınların 85’i Türkiye’ye, 55’i ise İran’a aittir. Periyodik olarak bakıldığında, İran adresli yayınların zaman içinde artış ve azalışlar gösterdiği, buna karşılık Türkiye adresli yayınların sayısının her geçen yıl arttığı görülmektedir. İranlı araştırmacıların en çok yayın yaptığı bil­gibilim dergisi International Information & Library Review iken, Türkiye adresli yayınlar en sık Scientometrics adlı dergide yer almıştır. Türkiye adresli yayınların İran adresli yayınlara oranla daha sık bir şekilde birden çok yazarın katkısı ile oluştuğu görülmektedir. İran adresli yayınların yazarlarının çoğunluk­la kütüphanecilik kökenli olduğu gözlenirken, Türkiye adresli yayınların yazarları arasında istatistik, endüstri mühendisliği ve fizik gibi farklı alanlardaki araştırmacıların bulunduğu görülmektedir. Üretilen yayın sayısının ülkelerin potansiyelini tam olarak yansıtmadığı düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, İran ve Türkiye’nin gelecekte yapacakları araştırmalar ile bilgibilim dünyasında daha etkin bir konumda olması gerekmektedir.

Değerli bilgi üretici ve tüketicileri,   Pegem Eğitim ve Öğretim Dergisi'nin (PEGEGOG) altıncı yılının ilk sayısıyla sizlerle bir kez daha beraber olmaktan duyduğum mutluluğu paylaşmak istiyorum. Önceki sayımızda dergimizin Proquest veri tabanında taranmaya başladığını belirtmiş, Social Sciences Citation Index için değerlendirme sürecinde olduğumuzu bildirmiştim. Önümüzdeki sayıdan itibaren ERIC veri tabanına da başvuracağımızı bildirmekten mutluluk duyarım. Bu veri tabanlarında taranmak için İngilizce tam metin şartı olması nedeniyle,  Haziran sayımızdan itibaren dergimiz tam metin İngilizce ve Türkçe olarak yayımlanacağını bildirmek isterim.   Eğitim oldukça dinamik bir süreç. Bu süreç ülkemizde daha da dinamik ve kaotik bir şekilde sürüyor. Hem ilk ve orta eğitimde hem de yüksek eğitimde temel standartları oluşturamamanın kaygısıyla sürekli bir değişim süreci içindeyiz. Eğitim sistemimizin daha sağlıklı bir yapıya kavuşabilmesi için, eğitim bilimlerinin farklı alanlarında kapsamlı, kuramsal temelleri sağlam, yeni değişim ve vizyon açıcı araştırmalara ihtiyacımız olduğu açıktır.   Dergimize 2015 yılında 200'e yakın makale başvurusu olmuş, bunlardan 41 tanesi yayımlanmıştır. Bu, dergimiz ve ülkemiz için sevindirici bir haberdir. Ancak üzülerek belirtmem gerekiyor ki, bu makalelerin bazılarında format açısından önemli sorunlar vardı. Öncelikle birçok yazarımızın makalesindeki metinlerin başka makale ya da metinlerle birebir benzerliği nedeniyle üzülerek ret etmek zorunda kaldık. Bize gelen tüm makaleleri ilk önce I-thenticate programıyla diğer kaynaklardan birebir alıntıları belirlemek için tarıyoruz. Bu tarama sonucunda yüksek oranda birebir alıntı olduğu belirlenen makaleleri hakem sürecine göndermeden ret ediyoruz. Bunun dışında, bir akademik makale formatına uymayan çalışmaları da hakemlerimizi boş yere yormamak adına geri çeviriyoruz.   Dergimize yapılan başvurularda ret etmek zorunda kaldığımız çalışmaların bir kısmında görülen sorunlardan birisi de veri analiziyle ilgiliydi. Veri, araştırma amaçları doğrultusunda ilgili kaynaklardan toplanan ham bilgilerdir. Bunların amaçlar doğrultusunda analiz edilmesi gerekir. Veriler sayısal ise istatistik teknikleri kullanarak nitel ise içerik analiz ya da betimsel analiz yöntemleri gibi yöntemlerle analiz etmek gerekir. Analiz verilerin bulguya dönüşmesini ve onlardan anlam çıkarılmasını sağlar. Özellikle belge analizi ve diğer nitel çalışmaların bazılarında verilerin bulgu olarak sunulduğu görülmektedir. Bazılarında ise veriler sadece betimlenerek sunulmaktadır. Başvuru yapılmadan önce çalışmaların derginin benimsediği kurallara uyarak makale formatına getirilmesi ve ondan sonra yayım için sunulması gerekmektedir.   Bu sayımızda da her zaman olduğu gibi hakem değerlendirme süreci tamamlanan ve daha önce doi numarası verdiğimiz sekiz makaleyi siz değerli bilgi üreticisi ve tüketicilerinin hizmetine sunuyoruz. Eğitim bilimlerinin çeşitli alanlarında yapılan bu çalışmaların yararlı olmasını ve eğitim uygulamalarına ve eğitim bilimleri alanındaki kuramsal bilgi birikimine katkı yapmasını diliyor, gelecek sayıda buluşmak dileğiyle en içten saygılarımı sunuyorum.

This study reviews the recent quantitative and qualitative evidence on the need to develop our natural environments for creative and leisure purposes. Previous studies described the problem of tourism to be a universal one, as virtually all countries are faced with the problem of providing inadequate tourism for their citizens. In Nigeria urban centres the tourism conditions were not properly documented. The study investigated the tourism condition in Lagos, Nigeria. The study observed that tourism condition in the nation is presently not provided for all citizenry. The need of the majority was not considered while some of the existing few are in deplorable condition. Previous literatures reviewed shows that almost 75 percent of tourist centres are for children meaning they lack creative environment. This paper also attempts to discuss in detail the little infrastructural evidences that exists in tourism. Fifteen centres were selected and eight were investigated in this study. The study discuss the consistency of findings across Lagos State, using different methodological approaches with consideration to the major key compares the magnitudes of developing natural environment. The study adopted questionnaire as the tool for the investigation, the tool was randomly administered after which the outcomes were analysed with the use of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, SPSS version 16. Furthermore, aside that personal observation data was also recorded. The study identifies the emerging policy, business opportunity strategy and activities for good governance and better environment. Service provider should be willing to create the inspiration garden in other to have a greater benefits and more patronage. Since most of the centres investigated are static in nature, the study suggested that in the future, research should focus on the analysis of respondent welfare in a dynamic sense.

Conservation Actions

Conservation actions most often occur in peopled seascapes and landscapes. As a result, conservation decisions cannot rely solely on evidence from the natural sciences, but must also be guided by the social sciences, the arts and the humanities. However, we are concerned that too much of the current attention is on research that serves an instrumental purpose, by which we mean that the social sciences are used to justify and promote status quo conservation practices. The reasons for engaging the social sciences, as well as the arts and the humanities, go well beyond making conservation more effective. In this editorial, we briefly reflect on how expanding the types of social science research and the contributions of the arts and the humanities can help to achieve the transformative potential of conservation.

New Ideas

Non-controversially, the full version of this article argues that the crisis in British higher education will impoverish teaching and research in the arts and humanities; cut even more deeply into these areas in the post-1992 sector; and threaten the integrity of every small sub-discipline, including the history of medicine. It traces links between the Thatcherite reforms of the 1980s and the near-privatisation of universities proposed by the Browne Report and partly adopted by the coalition. The article ends by arguing that it would be mistaken to expect any government-driven return to the status quo ante. New ideas and solutions must come from within. As economic and cultural landscapes are transformed, higher education will eventually be rebuilt, and the arts and social sciences, including medical history, reshaped in wholly unexpected ways. This will only happen, however, if a more highly politicised academic community forges its own strategies for recovery.
