In the context of the distinction between normative and descriptive approaches to the relationship between science and religion, this article discusses the recent work of the sociologist Elaine Ecklund. It reviews four of her published outputs, summarising her data concerning the views of religious people and professional scientists, including…

The study performed a bibliometric analysis on research literature related to 'engineering design process' (EDP) that has emerged as a popular approach for STEM education in K-12. The literature comprised 142 journal articles published from 2011 to 2021. There are three objectives of the study. Firstly, to identify the leading research trends of…

Keywords are important bibliometric tools for classifying, accessing, and summarizing research. Citations to the top 10 Google Scholar (GS) Profiles were retrieved for 20 kinesiology-related subject labels/keywords. Total citations to top scholars were largest for the disciplinary keywords "physical activity," "exercise,"…

Researchers who work on course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) and issues related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) retention have begun exploring changes in student thinking about what it means to be a scientist. To support this effort, we developed rubrics to score answers to three open-response prompts: What…

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a valuable tool in various chemical and biological fields for investigating the presence and quantity of proteins of interest in given samples. The high importance of the assay makes it widely used in biological research and hence a crucial skill to master for up-and-coming scientists. A major…

Citizen science is a research collaboration between scientists and volunteers who provide data for education, conservation, and environmental protection. Volunteers, often the locals in the area, provide data on species occurrence while researchers perform distribution mapping or other data analysis. Social networking sites including Facebook,…

Citizen science is increasingly popular for educating and engaging the public, but few studies test how to achieve individual outcomes including knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, particularly in the Global South. We operationalize the citizen science participation-behavior model for a hydrologic monitoring program in Mexico to evaluate how…

Higher Education (HE) constitutes a space that calls urgently for new understandings in the contemporary political moment. One way of establishing such an understanding of HE is to consider more fully the work of political theorists in relation to questions of power in the modern nation-state, particularly as these impinge upon the key problem of…

Scientific research is the process of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, evaluating, and reporting data in a planned and systematic way in order to find reliable and valid solutions to problems. Anxiety about scientific research directs the research behavior of the individual and causes feelings such as reluctance to do research, insecurity,…

This study examines and compares the strategic objectives of the universities included in the "mission differentiation and specialization on the basis of regional development" project carried out in the Turkish higher education system and well-established universities in Turkiye. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine how the…

This literature review aims to examine the approach given to open science policy in the different studies. The main findings are that the approach given to open science has different aspects: policy framing and its geopolitical aspects are described as an asymmetries replication and epistemic governance tool. The main geopolitical aspects of open…

In a knowledge economy, the generation of competitive advantages in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is based on intangible assets of Intellectual Capital (IC) such as quality in teaching, research, innovation, image, reputation and relationship with stakeholders. This knowledge area has aroused the interest of HEIs managers and the…

Human development is a dimension that concretizes evidence adjusted to social demands from a framework of formation of individuals focused on constructing knowledge from different perspectives. In this sense, the formation of the university research student, the motivation for the exercise of science and innovation, and the pedagogical practices…

Chemistry as science is known to be objective and neutral. However, numerous studies indicate that historically recognition of women's contributions to chemistry, including Nobel Prize, is far from objective and often based on cultural forms and gender bias. In this work, we analyzed gender and age of Nobel Laureates in Chemistry at the time of…

In this study, the phonographic view of the acceleration of scientific publishing in Türkiye has been revealed with TÜBITAK/DergiPark data and the values of the measurements of the impact factors of scientific journals have been sampled with the SOBIAD Index data. SOBIAD Index dataset was used in the study. Using the "full count"…
