Meta-discourse is one of the linguistic features that have gotten considerable attention in writing a research article abstract recently. It is because the meta-discourse serves as a textual and interpersonal marker that can help readers to organize, classify, interpret, evaluate, and react to the contents of a propositions or meanings of sentences in the research article abstracts. However, Indonesian authors still have a problem in the use of meta-discourse based on its function in writing a research article abstract that meets to reputable international journals. The purpose of this study is to help improve the linguistic feature quality of research article abstracts written by Indonesian lecturers in social sciences and humanities in terms of the appropriate use of meta-discourse devices. This study used three stages of genre-based method following Hyland (2003): modeling, joint construction, and independent construction to mentor 20 lecturers in improving their research article abstract quality in terms of the appropriate use of meta-discourse devices in the sentences. The meta-discourse devices in the lecturers’ research article abstracts was evaluated following the frameworks of meta-discourse based on its function as suggested by Hyland (2005). The result revealed that there is an important improvement on the linguistic feature quality of Indonesian lecturers’ research article abstracts in terms of the appropriate use of meta-discourse devices. It implies that genre-based mentoring method has been quite effective in helping Indonesian lecturers in social sciences and humanities in writing their RA abstracts in using meta-discourse devices for a reputable international journal.

Publishing scientific research is very important in contributing to the knowledge of a discipline and in sharing experience among scientists. However, there are few studies to find solutions to improve the quantity and quality of research publications, especially those in the fields of social sciences and humanities. This case study aims at finding the difficulties that lecturers from different faculties and departments of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City have encountered in publishing their research. Based on the survey data, the study suggests practical solutions to enhance Vietnamese researchers’ national and international publications in order to meet integration challenges.

History is written in textbooks but is indubitably remembered through cultural artifacts and architecture. This is particularly the case when one thinks of Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, where its thousands of years of ancient history can be found in the old citadels, and more than half a century of French colonialism can be glimpsed in the Old Quarter houses. Many of these structures have survived the brutality of wars and now feed into the nostalgia of French aesthetic. Yet, in what way can we come to gain greater insight into a cultural space where there is an interconnection between religion, house designs, and forms of feeling? One can find an answer to this question in a newly-published scientific research article titled “Cultural evolution in Vietnam's early 20th century: A Bayesian networks analysis of Hanoi Franco-Chinese house designs” in the Social Sciences and Humanities Open journal of Elsevier.


Social science research (SSR) has a vital role in enriching societies, by generating scientific knowledge that brings insights—even enlightenment—in understanding the dynamics of human behaviour and development. For social sciences to realize their potential in shaping public policy, it is imperative that the research ecosystem is dynamic and vibrant; the institutions governing it are robust and effective; and those producing quality research are strong and well governed. This volume elaborates on various dimensions of SSR in India, presenting a strong case for designing a comprehensive national social science policy which can meaningfully strengthen and promote a research ecosystem for improved public policymaking in the country. Addressing issues like lack of funding, availability of data, infrastructure, and quality of research output, it will serve as a national benchmark and reference database for social sciences in India.

The quality of the educational service is one of the factors that is present as the objective of every university institution and, therefore, the quality of training of professionals in Peru, both in its face-to-face and remote modality. The objective of the research was to determine the association of expectation and perception of the quality of educational service provided by the National University of Education. The selected exhibition consisted of 189 students from the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. They responded to the survey based on the SERVQUAL model that measures the expectation of students of a university of excellence and the perception of educational service that is offered by the institution. The association between the two variables was evaluated through Spearman's Rho correlation. The results demonstrate a weak association of student expectation and perception variables at a significance level of 0.05. Likewise, these results are extended to the security dimension, in contrast to the other dimensions such as tangibility, responsiveness, empathy and reliability. This means that the gaps (P-E) that are the differences between perception (P) and Expectations (E) suggest that improvement plans must be implemented to obtain the quality of educational service that students demand.

This text is a conversation between Athena Athanasiou and Alkisti Efthymiou, drawing from Athena Athanasiou’s new book, Agonistic Mourning: Political Dissidence and the Women in Black (Edinburgh University Press, 2017). The conversation discusses the critical potency of collective subjectivities such as the Women in Black and expands on issues that include political agency, vulnerability in resistance, spacing appearance, performing public mourning, or the traveling of social movements, associating them with contemporary feminist and antifascist urgencies. Central to the text is the concept of non-sovereign agonism, a form of political agency that addresses (or takes into account) the dispossessed quality of subjectivity and pays attention to the relationality through which we are constituted as subjects.

تحاول الدراسة بناء تصور حول برنامج للفنون بناءً على مقاصد الشريعة، وأهمية الدراسات البينية والتكاملية في تحقيق توازن بين البنية المعرفية الإسلامية الممثلة في الأصول التأسيسية (القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية) والتراث الحضاري من جهة، وعلوم العصر من جهة أخرى. لقد غدت التكاملية إطاراً مرجعياً ومعياراً لفهم العلاقات بين العلوم، وإعادة تنظيمها، واكتشاف أواصر القربى بينها، لا سيما بين تلك العلوم ذات الحقول الدلالية المشتركة كما في العلوم الاجتماعية والعلوم الإنسانية. ومنهجية التفكير المقاصدي مهمة في نقل التفكير من صفة الجزئية إلى صفة الكلية، حتى يستوعب الظاهرة بصورة أكثر شمولية. إن التوازن المشار إليه يفيد في تحديد نوعية الخطاب الفني المناسب للمرحلة، ويعمل على تأسيس البرنامج التعليمي للفن بناء على التصوّر المعرفي والوظيفة الحضارية للفن أولاً (المعرفة)، وليس على تركيبته وبُعده الفني والجمالي (العلم)، وسيُفعّل فكرة البدائل الحضارية التي هي جزء أصيل من التفكير المقاصدي. This study attempts to develop a conception of art program of study based on the purposes of the Shari'a (maqasid), and the importance of interdisciplinary and integrative studies to achieve a balance between the Islamic knowledge structure in the founding sources (Quran and Sunnah) on the one hand, and the cultural heritage and contemporary knowledge in the other. Integration has become a frame of reference and a criterion for understanding, reconstructing and reconciling knowledge, especially knowledge with common semantic fields, such as social sciences and humanities. The approach of maqasidi thinking is important in moving from partial thinking to a wider space of global thinking in order to comprehend the phenomenon in a more comprehensive way. The balance referred to is useful in determining the quality of an appropriate artistic discourse. It helps to establish an educational art program based on the cognitive perception and cultural function of art; i.e., knowledge, not on its composition and its artistic aesthetic dimension (science). It will also activate the idea of cultural alternatives, as an integral part of the maqasidi thinking.

Bibliometrics is the term used to describe various approaches to analysing measures of the use of academic literature, in particular articles in peer-reviewed journals. More broadly, the topic addresses the validity or otherwise of these measures as indicators of the impact, influence or value of the research being reported. These measures, and in particular the journal Impact Factor, are used as evidence for the quality of research, to make decisions about appointments, to judge a journal editor's success, and (it is assumed) to make funding decisions. Until recently, bibliometrics was mainly about citations, but now it is increasingly common to measure online usage, and even tweets, blogging and user star-ratings when assessing the contribution of a published research article.
