“…The number of universities is negatively correlated with the output in evaluation journals until a threshold is reached. This functional form contradicts our assumptions and findings from previous studies (e.g., Meo et al, 2013). An explanation for the absence of a positive association may be that evaluation research is a discipline which is not part of the basic research program of universities.…”

“…Moreover, we believe that the size of the academic sector has an effect on a country's research productivity too. We expect the number of publications in international evaluation journals to increase when the number of universities rises (e.g., Meo et al, 2013), simply because there are more researchers who could publish articles.…”

“…Furthermore, we assume a positive association between countries' output in evaluation journals and their economic prosperity. There is evidence that economic prosperity is positively correlated with countries' expenditure on R&D (e.g., Lane, 2011), which in turn increases the performance of the research system and research productivity in terms of scientific publications (e.g., Meo et al, 2013). Moreover, we presume that economically strong countries are capable of spending more money on publicly funded social interventions (e.g., Tanzi & Schuknecht, 2000), which may contribute to a higher intensity of evaluative activities.…”

Predicting Research Productivity in International Evaluation Journals across Countries

Background: Progress in evaluation research depends on the continuous generation of scholarly knowledge and its dissemination in the community. One way of disseminating findings is to publish in scientific journals and researchers, institutions, and even whole countries are assessed by their output in these journals. Particularly with regard to countries, there is an uneven distribution of research productivity in evaluation journals. A viable model for predicting countries’ research output in international evaluation journals, however, has not yet been developed. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and test a model for the prediction of countries’ research output in international evaluation journals by predictors from the research, economic, and social/political system. Setting: NA Intervention: NA Research Design: A cross-sectional design was used for predicting research output in evaluation journals across countries. Data Collection and Analysis: Our sample consists of 65 countries that made contributions to ten international peer-reviewed evaluation journals. We collected data for the period from 2009 to 2013 and predicted the number of authorships across countries by using boosted regression trees, a machine learning procedure. Findings: Our model provided accurate predictions of countries’ research output. Research productivity in the social sciences had the strongest effect, followed by economic prosperity, control of corruption, and age of evaluation society. The model was generalizable to another period of time with only marginal loss in predictive accuracy.

“…Most research in the world is done by universities located in Europe, North America, Australia/New Zealand and East Asia. As research in science and social sciences is increasingly seen as a source of national prosperity (Meo et al 2013), many countries without their own research infrastructure are under-represented in tourism research (Shen et al 2018). Equity is built globally, and e-Tourism research should be able to help those most in need, including e-Tourism researchers with limited resources.…”

This viewpoint article argues that the impacts of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 call for transformative e-Tourism research. We are at a crossroads where one road takes us to e-Tourism as it was before the crisis, whereas the other holds the potential to transform e-Tourism. To realize this potential, e-Tourism research needs to challenge existing paradigms and critically evaluate its ontological and epistemological foundations. In light of the paramount importance to rethink contemporary science, growth, and technology paradigms, we present six pillars to guide scholars in their efforts to transform e-Tourism through their research, including historicity, reflexivity, equity, transparency, plurality, and creativity. We conclude the paper with a call to the e-Tourism research community to embrace transformative research.

Osmanthus fragrans is the ornamental and practical excellent garden tree featured with greening, beautification, and fragrance in one, and has been domesticated in China for 2500 years. Besides, an increasing number of papers on O. fragrans have been published so far, but these contributions have not been analyzed comprehensively. Considering that, in this research, a bibliometric methodology is adopted on documents related to O. fragrans obtained from the WoS database. The study demonstrated the main countries and institutions in terms of this field. Among them, the Chinese research on O. fragrans is in a leading position in the world. Regarding the specialization, the institution ranking is led by the Nanjing Forestry University, Henan University, and Zhejiang University. Apart from that, analysis on the keywords also highlighted the lines of research associated with plant functionality (e.g., antioxidant, antifungal activity, and anti-inflammatory activities), natural products (e.g., carotenoids, aroma, flavonoids, essential oils, phenylethanoid glycosides, and salidroside), and molecular biology (e.g., genetic diversity, transcription factors, and phylogeny). The results from this study also revealed that there is a lack of research on the production mechanism of floral fragrance and the flower color regulation mechanism in O. fragrans. Moreover, the aroma and flower color are gradually developing into the main areas of research on O. fragrans. It is also expected that future research in this field will focus on biochemistry and biomolecules.
