The Impact

The article discusses new approaches to assessing the semantic similarity of documents in a vector space, taking into account statistically significant and informative terms. Informative terms reflect the current state of research in a certain field of research. To select informative terms, an algorithm for calculating the impact factor of the term is proposed. It is shown that informative terms allow both to evaluate the semantic similarity of texts and to predict future citations. The developed methods for assessing the semantic similarity and future impact of scientific publications can be used in the framework of “Predictive optimization”, a modern technology that allows us to make decisions based on forecasts. In evaluating the activities of research and individual scientists, bibliometric indicators often play an important role. However, the use of citation-based indicators is problematic in determining the impact of recent publications. Usually, two years after the publication of most articles, they receive only a few links. The probability of future citation can be predicted using the proposed indicator - IFT.

Journal Impact

This study analyzes the journal impact factor and related bibliometric indicators in Education and Educational Research (E&ER) category, highlighting the main differences among journal quartiles, using Web of Science (Social Sciences Citation Index, SSCI) as the data source. High impact journals (Q1) publish only slightly more papers than expected, which is different to other areas. The papers published in Q1 journal have greater average citations and lower uncitedness rates compared to other quartiles, although the differences among quartiles are lower than in other areas. The impact factor is only weakly negative correlated (r=-0.184) with the journal self-citation but strongly correlated with the citedness of the median journal paper (r= 0.864). Although this strong correlation exists, the impact factor is still far to be the perfect indicator for expected citations of a paper due to the high skewness of the citations distribution. This skewness was moderately correlated with the citations received by the most cited paper of the journal (r= 0.649) and the number of papers published by the journal (r= 0.484), but no important differences by journal quartiles were observed. In the period 2013–2018, the average journal impact factor in the E&ER has increased largely from 0.908 to 1.638, which is justified by the field growth but also by the increase in international collaboration and the share of papers published in open access. Despite their inherent limitations, the use of impact factors and related indicators is a starting point for introducing the use of bibliometric tools for objective and consistent assessment of researcher.

Research background: In today's era of modern technology, traditional and new methods as well as processes and technologies increasingly contrast. In the first chapter, we focused on a detailed description of the first historical changes in the emergence of trade and financial derivatives. We also identified and described the emergence of specialised trading and stock exchange locations. We continued with a description of the basic methods of analysis and focused on the basics of technical analysis. In the next chapter, we evaluated the current state of research in this area and, based on previous research, we classified and structured individual studies. Purpose of the article: The aim of our contribution is to examine, in detail, the basics and current research in the field of technical analysis. Methods: We consider the inconsistent results of the studies analysed to be very interesting. We consider the unsystematic and inconsistent methodology of the assessment of individual studies to be a major problem. As we mentioned in the article, in many instances the studies analysed focused only on individual aspects of technical analysis and evaluated the final results of the business process. Findings & Value added: In other cases, the results were skewed, mainly due to the nonacceptance of transaction costs or due to risk abstraction. However, despite such results, technical analysis as such can be a valuable tool for predicting price movements. Subsequently, we described our findings, interpreted them, and identified their limitations. We consider the aim of the study to have been met, and believe that it will be beneficial in the field of research on this issue.

The Impact

Construction industry activities, from material extraction to the end of the structure life, affect the environment negatively. For a sustainable construction process, economically, environmentally, and socially friendly practices are essential, and reverse logistics is one solution that can provide such an approach. In reverse logistics, obsolete products are reused in a new production, while reducing negative effects to the environment. In this study, we assess the current state of research on reverse logistics practices in the construction industry. The study presents a comparative data mining analysis, followed by a content analysis. The results show that the construction industry literature ignores the impact of reverse logistics practices on upstream construction activities. We argue that industry practitioners must take reverse logistics decisions in the early phases of the construction process by considering both upstream and end-of-life construction activities, and we recommend a reverse logistics decision framework for successful reverse logistics implementation. The findings of this research are significant for decision-makers in the industry. We urge that sustainable practices be employed in the industry. Furthermore, a quantitative analysis is suggested to strengthen the arguments made in this article.

The article discusses the current state of research on the problems of urban communities in conflict. The research base was the corpus of domestic and foreign scientific publications, formed on the basis of a search in scientometric databases. Based on the review and analysis of scientific literature, the author identifies the main problems that are in the focus of attention of specialists: the essence of urban communities themselves, the parameters of their participation in urban politics, as well as their actual participation in conflict processes. In accordance with this, research areas and main issues that are at the center of scientific discussions are highlighted. These include the identification of the essential features of urban communities at the present stage of their development, taking into account network technologies of interaction; the formation of civil and political subjectivity of urban communities; ways to include urban communities in the system of political management of urban conflicts. The latter direction involves various formats of participation: from protest actions to the creation of collaborative planning institutions. In foreign studies at this stage, relatively more attention is paid to this issue than in Russian. The further necessity of studying the functioning of urban communities in conflict situations is substantiated.

The Impact

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is still difficult to treat due to insufficient methods for early diagnosis and prediction of therapy response. Furthermore, surveillance after curatively intended surgery lacks adequate methods for timely detection of recurrence. Therefore, several molecules have been analyzed as predictors of recurrence or early detection of PDAC. Enhanced understanding of molecular tumorigenesis and treatment response triggered the identification of novel biomarkers as predictors for response to conventional chemotherapy or targeted therapy. In conclusion, progress has been made especially in the prediction of therapy response with biomarkers. The use of molecules for early detection and recurrence of PDAC is still at an early stage, but there are promising approaches in noninvasive biomarkers, composite panels and scores that can already ameliorate the current clinical practice. The present review summarizes the current state of research on biomarkers for diagnosis and therapy of pancreatic cancer.

Programs dedicated to entrepreneurship education in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields have expanded tremendously. However, much remains unknown about the current state of research and practice of these programs. This article presents results from a systematic review designed to explore how Entrepreneurial Support Programs serving science and technology innovators conceptualize and measure individual-level impacts. Results suggest that the intended impacts of programs are often ill-defined. While many programs focus on improving entrepreneurial mindset, the term is frequently not well defined, operationalized, or clearly measured. Likewise, results suggest that understanding the impact of programs is challenging due to the quality of the research or evaluation procedures employed. Finally, results suggest that there is a strong lack of diversity awareness or acknowledgment in the field; the vast majority of the papers did not mention gender, race, or other demographic characteristics. Moving forward, researchers and practitioners have an opportunity to strengthen data-driven work to assess the impact of entrepreneurship support programs through the use of clear definitions, well-documented methods, and assessment instruments with sufficient validity evidence.

The Impact

Image Management is a crucial aspect of China’s engagement with the world, and the related scholarship has already produced high-quality learned analyses. This article, however, identifies a certain stagnation in knowledge production. This stagnation, I argue, is first due to a tendency to focus research on a few recurring themes and second due to three contested areas and related research gaps. These contestations concern (1) the question how to describe and conceptualize image management practices, (2) the question what instruments belong to image management practices, and (3) most importantly the question of audiences and how to measure the impact of these practices. By mapping out these areas, this article provides avenues for further research and argues in favor of interdisciplinary mixed-methods research in this field. Taking those contested areas and the existing research gaps more seriously into consideration is imperative to understand China’s communicative practices which increasingly become a major component of China’s overall behavior on the global stage.

This chapter examines the electrification experience in the United States from 1880 to 1960, noting electricity’s effects on manufacturing and agricultural productivity, changes in the demand for worker skills, and changes in household structure. The chapter also discusses how the rise of a new industry led to new regulations and addressed discrepancies in service between urban and rural areas and presents evidence on the current state of research into the effects of these institutional changes on electricity pricing and economic growth. This historical literature can inform the current debate on the impact of large infrastructure projects in developing countries, and of electrification in particular. With over half of the world’s population still yet to acquire consistent access to electricity, these issues remain pertinent to the current policy sphere.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to extend the understanding of the added value of management studies, as the current state of research in the field has focused principally on studies undertaken at prestigious institutions. In addition, this study tests the extent to which career-related attitudes and chance events have influenced career success. Design/methodology/approach – The authors used data provided by 1,228 graduates from an average-ranked academic institution. Findings – The findings suggest that such management education can result in significant tangible and intangible outcomes for graduates’ careers and their employing organizations. Both intellectual ability and career attitudes influenced the career success outcomes to differing levels. The contribution to the literature is both to theory and to managerial practice, in response to the recent critique of management education as well as the growing need for new cadres of managers, which cannot be supplied by high-prestige, leading business schools alone. Originality/value – Testing career impact of MBA from an average-ranked university, and the impact of chance event – both understudied.
