TWO DECADES OF RESEARCH ON EARLY CAREER FACULTIES (ECFs): A BIBLIOMETRIC ANAL...
Early Career Faculties (ECFs) are an important demographic of university faculty population shaping the future of the institution and higher education, despite the challenges they face as new academics. Analysis of scholarly output on ECFs offers useful data to inform and aid both national policy formulations and institutional planning decisions especially in ECFs’ support and development. Peer-reviewed high impact journals and academic databases provide highly valid and reliable sources of data and information on ECFs. This study examines the trend of ECFs research over two decades comparing scholarly output and research impact across global regions, in Web of Science and Scopus Elsevier. The bibliometric analysis highlights key topics of research and publications related to ECFs and identify the regions and countries most actively research on the topic. The trend of research on ECFs has been found to increase exponentially beginning the 1990s worldwide, mostly from western institutions (76%). Publications after the year 2012 focused more on issues related to ECFs’ preparation towards life in academia, their motivation, and challenges, the support structure for ECFs and strategies to adapt to life as faculty members. Such bibliometric analysis findings can be a useful reference for policy formulation within national or regional systems of higher education, and institutional strategic planning.
Are Universities Sticky-Evidence from Linkedin Users
This study examines the migration patterns of over 4 million university graduates in the United States from 2003 to 2012 using data from LinkedIn. Specifically, it analyzes the percentage of graduates who stayed in the metropolitan area of their university after graduation ("stay rate") and how this rate varies over time and between universities. The study explores how university characteristics like academic ranking, type, student population, tuition, and location affect stay rates. It also controls for metropolitan characteristics like population size and income levels. Previous literature on college-to-work migration has focused on individual attributes and regional economic factors but paid little attention to the role of universities. This study aims to help fill that gap and provide new insights using a large dataset from social media.

TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION 2012
The document discusses the methodology used for the Times Higher Education World University Rankings from 2011-2012. It outlines the key pillars used to evaluate universities: teaching, research, international outlook, and industry income. It also provides details on the specific indicators and weightings used to measure performance in each pillar, including academic reputation surveys, citation impact, staff to student ratios, and international collaboration. Feedback from university administrators and academics is presented, both in support of and with some criticisms of the methodology.
Henderson & kritsonis, save!
This document reviews literature on graduation and retention rates of African American students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It finds that graduation rates tend to be low at HBCUs, with over two-thirds of students at some HBCUs not completing degrees. The literature identifies several factors that may impact low graduation rates, including poor academic preparation in K-12 schools, lack of economic resources, and insufficient research on psychosocial variables. While HBCUs provide supportive environments, graduation rates are often higher at more selective institutions. Overall, the document finds that improving understanding of predictors of poor graduation rates at HBCUs, like academic preparedness and financial factors, could help address this issue.

This study examines internationalization at U.S. research universities through their study abroad programs. It assesses whether relationships exist between institutional inputs like staffing and funding, coordination processes by international offices, and outputs like number of students studying abroad. The findings show human resources, financial resources, and number of study abroad programs positively correlate with more students studying abroad. Number of exchange programs and international partnerships also increase exchange students. The study recommends optimizing staffing and budgets to better support internationalization through study abroad.

This document summarizes a study examining the effects of institutional spending and resource allocation on cohort default rates at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
The study was motivated by the fact that HBCUs have much higher cohort default rates than average, putting some at risk of losing federal student aid eligibility. It analyzes factors associated with reducing default rates at HBCUs that have been successful, hoping to identify practices that could help other HBCUs.
The study uses a conceptual framework focusing on student retention to identify factors potentially related to default rate reductions. It analyzes spending in areas like instruction, academic support, and student services to determine which are most closely correlated with lower default rates. The

Postdocpaper Career Satisfaction of postdocs
Postdoctoral researchers lack career prospects in academia despite being an important group for research. A survey of 225 postdocs found that 85% wanted to stay in academia but only 3% received tenure-track positions. Uncertainty about their future lowered job satisfaction, especially in social sciences and humanities. Few postdocs prepared for non-academic careers or developed transferable skills despite recognizing the importance of networking. Postdocs are trapped between ambitions and lack of opportunities.

This article discusses the influence that the US higher education system has on support for international students in other countries like the UK. It notes that the US and UK are two of the largest destinations for international students globally. While the US system differs from the UK in its flexibility and general education requirements, both countries are competing for the same pool of international applicants. As such, policies and practices for supporting international students may spread between the two systems as they aim to improve their competitiveness. The article then describes research conducted by the author in the US, where he interviewed staff and students to understand academic advising and support services provided to international students, with the goal of informing support structures in the UK.
Global Obsession With Rankings Hazelkorn
1. Global rankings of universities have risen in prominence due to increased global competition for talent and resources.
2. Rankings impact higher education institutions, students, faculty, government policy and academic decision-making by incentivizing certain types of behavior and resource allocation.
3. In response to rankings, higher education institutions are focusing resources on fields and activities that positively influence their position, such as research in science and recruiting high-achieving students and faculty.
Paris Rankings 13nov08 EUA
This document discusses international university rankings and classifications. It provides an overview of various global and European ranking initiatives. It notes that while rankings are increasingly influential, they also have limitations as they use a "one-size-fits-all" methodology that does not reflect the diversity of institutions or their varied missions. The document calls for a European response to rankings that recognizes this diversity and considers alternative sources of information about universities.
THOMSON REUTERS 2012
The Institutional Profiles project collects multidimensional data from over 1,000 leading academic institutions globally to profile their activities and performance. Data is gathered through an annual academic reputation survey, direct collection from institutions, and bibliometric sources. Institutions provide detailed information on areas like staff, students, degrees, funding, and subject-level activities. The data aims to be high-quality, internationally comparable, and minimize workload for institutions. Analysis benchmarks data to account for subject differences and allows custom comparison of institutions' key performance indicators, trends, and relationships to peers. The Institutional Profiles provide an excellent resource for exploring academic institutions and understanding their competencies.

This document presents a methodology for developing a taxonomy of scientific mobility types based on bibliometric data. The methodology analyzes publication and affiliation data for over 15 million scholarly works to identify different types of researcher mobility. It identifies three main categories - migrants who move countries, and two types of "travelers" who have affiliations in multiple countries, either keeping ties to their origin country or not. This taxonomy is aimed at providing a more nuanced understanding of scientific mobility beyond traditional linear perspectives. It also opens opportunities for further comparative analyses of mobility patterns across countries and links to scientific impact.4 Widening Paritcipation in Higher Education in Ghana and Tanzania, Fiona Leach

This document summarizes a research project on widening participation in higher education in Ghana and Tanzania. The project used both quantitative and qualitative data, including 100 equity scorecards and 400 interviews, to examine access, retention, and achievement across gender, age, and socioeconomic status in 4 programs at 2 public and 2 private universities in each country. Key findings included low representation of low-SES and mature students, especially women. The research impacted policies and practices at the university and national level in both countries. It also informed international organizations and was disseminated through publications and presentations globally.Differences in access to funding
The document analyzes differences in research funding received by men and women in Poland. It finds that while women make up about half of grant applicants, they receive a lower proportion of funds and have a slightly lower success rate than men. Interviews with experts found the funding system is seen as fair and merit-based. However, some noted family responsibilities may disadvantage women scientists. Suggested reforms include policies to better support scientists with family/care duties such as childcare funding and extended eligibility for leave periods. Overall, the document presents data on gender differences in Polish research funding and perspectives on improving support for female scientists.
Comparison between Polish and Norwegian PhDs
The document discusses gender differences in PhD career paths and access to funding in Poland and Norway. Some key points:
- Polish PhD graduates were more likely to see traditional academic careers, while Norwegian graduates more often sought non-academic research jobs.
- Polish PhD graduates had less stable employment, with half in temporary positions compared to over 70% of Norwegian graduates in permanent roles.
- Norwegian men were more likely than women to secure permanent employment after PhD completion.
- Access to research funding differed between countries and genders, with women applying for grants less often which could relate to structural barriers and balancing work/family responsibilities.

Hindrances of International Publication of Egyptian Educational Researches fr...
International research publication is considered one of the important issues that contribute to improving competition among universities as well as taking advanced positions in world ranking of universities. However, it is noticed that international publication at many Egyptian universities in general, and at Damietta University in particular, is low when compared to that of other countries, especially in the fields of educational sciences. Through communicating with the teaching staff members of the educational faculties of Damietta University, the current study tries to find out the hindrances that prevent publication in international journals with impact factor. This research used quantitative and qualitative techniques to collect and analyze data. Interviews and questionnaires were the principal data collection tools for the study. Conclusions: The main causes of these hindrances are the high cost of
international publication, the less knowledge of publication rules and standards of world publication journals and many other hindrances. The results of data analysis showed that there is a direct relationship between a staff member who got his/her PhD from a foreign country, especially an English speaking one, and his/her interest and success in publishing his/her researches
in impact factor international journals. The results of this study can be applied to other universities in Egypt or in other countries which speak English as a second language.

The university aims to increase this to $467M by 2015 through cultivating a collaborative research culture, improving awareness of its research strengths, and attracting more funding opportunities. Key strategies include developing strategic research focus areas, collaboration tools, graduate training, and partnerships. Challenges include limited faculty time/support for research and aging research infrastructure, but continued growth of high-caliber faculty and funding success indicate NC State is well positioned to strengthen its research profile.
2019 COAS Graduate Task Force Report
The Task Force on Graduate Student Funding at the College of Arts and Sciences issued a report with the following key points:
1) Graduate programs in the College face threats including stagnant stipends, declining enrollment, and fewer tenure-track faculty positions.
2) Data showed graduate stipends lag behind peers and costs of living, placing students in financial risk. Low stipends also hurt recruitment.
3) The report recommended a three-stage approach: 1) Cover rising student fees, 2) Increase stipends and tie them to inflation, and 3) Add more recruitment fellowships to improve graduate funding over time.
Int studenttest
This document discusses challenges and best practices for career support of international students. It notes that the US welcomed over 819,000 international students in 2012-2013. Primary concerns for these students include cultural and language barriers, navigating employment regulations, and competing with domestic students. Career counselors face challenges like utilizing services and uncertain post-graduation plans. Best practices include targeted outreach, job preparation workshops, collaboration across campus, and education on immigration policies to better prepare international students for the US job market and fulfill institutional missions. Further research is needed, especially quantitative studies measuring international student placement outcomes.
Establishing an equitable and fair admissions system
The field of Educational Technology has seen marked growth from just a small number of distance-based doctoral programs to nearly 20 today. Creating and sustaining a quality doctoral program of any kind requires a substantial amount of work; the additional challenges of online programs both increases and changes the nature of the efforts required. Among these challenges is creating an admissions process that treats people fairly, does not create a burdensome system for applicants or those involved in the selection process, and ensures the selection of a solid foundation of high quality candidates with whom faculty can mentor, who add value to the program, and who can benefit from the program. This paper explores common admissions requirements among institutions offering a distance or hybrid doctorate in Educational Technology and examines the specific admissions system used by the Department of Educational Technology at Boise State University.

The field of Educational Technology has seen marked growth from just a small number of distance-based doctoral programs to nearly 20 today. Creating and sustaining a quality doctoral program of any kind requires a substantial amount of work; the additional challenges of online programs both increases and changes the nature of the efforts required. Among these challenges is creating an admissions process that treats people fairly, does not create a burdensome system for applicants or those involved in the selection process, and ensures the selection of a solid foundation of high quality candidates with whom faculty can mentor, who add value to the program, and who can benefit from the program. This paper explores common admissions requirements among institutions offering a distance or hybrid doctorate in Educational Technology and examines the specific admissions system used by the Department of Educational Technology at Boise State University.

The document summarizes data from surveys of early career doctorate holders in the United States. It finds that while early career doctorates felt their graduate programs prepared them well across various skills, their specific strengths differed based on their job - postdocs ranked critical analytical skills highest while most faculty prioritized subject knowledge. Non-US degree holders were less likely than others to feel their degree enabled innovation or prepared them for their first job. Overall, 83% would pursue the same degree if starting over.
English Language Proficiency and Academic Achievement of Internat.pdf
This document summarizes a dissertation that conducted a meta-analysis on the relationship between English language proficiency, as measured by the TOEFL exam, and academic achievement, measured by GPA and course completion, of international students. The meta-analysis included studies from 1987 to 2009 that examined correlations between TOEFL scores and academic outcomes for international students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The results of the meta-analysis provided insight into the predictive ability of TOEFL scores on international student academic performance that can inform university admissions practices.

Las grandes cuestiones abiertas sobre el gobierno de las universidadesCátedra Unesco de gestión y política universitaria
Presentación realizada por el profesor y director de la Cátedra UNESCO de Gestión y Política Universitaria, Francisco Michavila, en el curso de verano "El gobierno de las universidades".
En la conferencia aboga por la autonomía y la financiación como dos pilares básicos para tener un sistema universitario de calidad. En su opinión, una revisión del sistema universitario debe centrarse en tres aspectos: autonomía, recursos y rendición de cuentas. Michavila ha afirmado que “cuanta más autonomía tiene un sistema universitario, mayor es su calidad y su excelencia”. Para llegar a esta conclusión, analiza la autonomía organizativa, académica, financiera y de gestión de personal de 13 sistemas universitarios europeos y compara esos datos con la puntuación que obtienen en los ránkings de Shanghái y Times. “La conclusión es siempre la misma: los países con mayor autonomía tienen mayor puntuación en cuanto a la calidad de su sistema universitario”, indicó.

El documento analiza los planes de acogida y orientación en las universidades españolas para prevenir el abandono estudiantil. Se resumen los resultados de un estudio sobre 41 universidades que muestra que la mayoría tienen estrategias de acogida, pero varían en su calidad y cobertura. También se identifican retos como mejorar la planificación estratégica, implicar a más agentes universitarios, y adaptarse a los nuevos perfiles de estudiantes antes y después de la acogida e integración.Participación estudiantil: Claves y objetivos
Conferencia realizada en la Universidad de La Laguna, el 25 de abril de 2013, a cargo de Richard Merhi, con motivo del II Campus de Participación Estudiantil.
Richard Merhi elogió este tipo de eventos, y recalcó su importancia, ya que “la universidad no es sólo ir a clase; es trascendental la participación estudiantil”. Durante su conferencia , dio algunas claves de implicación del alumnado y de cómo formar parte de una entidad como la universidad de forma proactiva.
Su visión de la participación consiste, principalmente, en vencer el “pasotismo” a través de tres elementos: la motivación, la formación y la información y la repercusión. Sin embargo, aclaró que existe también un contexto social, muy influyente en la participación estudiantil universitaria, en que no se valora esta involucración como debería.
Por todo ello, marcó el objetivo principal de este encuentro en instaurar una cultura de participación activa en la universidad. Todo en conjunto, bajo su punto de vista, beneficia tanto al sector estudiantil como a la institución universitaria.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation results
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
