“…In recent years, recognition of the skills-based value of TPS has begun to emerge, not only with regard to archival literacy competencies but also within a broader framework of transferable research skills that benefit students across K-12 and higher education. 35 TPS provides an opportunity to learn and practice research skills that can be utilized in other disciplines to foster discussion, support project work, and improve student engagement. 36 Nygren argues that high school students deserve to be taught the scholarly habits that will enable them to do research in the same way historians do; namely, analyzing multiple sources to develop historical thinking and historical empathy.…”

This article explores the work of archivists and special collections librarians in teaching with primary sources (TPS) for K–12 and higher education audiences and argues that the resources created for this work have largely targeted either audience, but not both. Building on a trend in the TPS literature toward skills-based instruction efforts, this article introduces a crosswalk between skills-based standards typically used in higher education (the SAA/RBMS Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy) and K–12 education (Common Core State Standards). This crosswalk demonstrations how resources created with one audience in mind can be adapted for use with other audiences. Examples of this crosswalk’s application are provided, as well as a discussion of the pitfalls of standards-based learning and the potential of a standards-based crosswalk to open up communication and collaboration around the benefits of teaching with primary sources.

“…Even in cases where no domain was explicitly identified, the authors surmised that history was the "assumed and default field." 70 There is an abundance of literature regarding teaching and special collections in higher education, including history departments. Yet, there is still an absence of much broader discussion of the differences in professional practice between librarians and archivists and how that might affect the assessment of impact.…”

“…Bibliometric analysis (a quantitative analysis that detects systematic patterns from electronic references) assists in discovering research themes and related evolving trends, which in return keeps researchers up to date with fronts of scientific research (Fang et al, 2018;Lei et al, 2020;Lei & Liu, 2019). Empirically, researchers have adopted the bibliometric method and identified research themes for different academic disciplines, including linguistics (e.g., Lei & Liu, 2019), accounting (e.g., Fang et al, 2018), and library science (e.g., Garcia et al, 2019). Previous studies have primarily employed electronic references for extracting bibliographic information, while comparatively fewer studies have taken advantage of the research grants for information inquiry (Jacob & Lefgren, 2011).…”

National research funding regulates government research expenditures and thus greatly affects the sustainability of the academic disciplines. This study examined the sustainability of linguistics based on national research funding over the past 20 years (2000-2020). In particular, we used a bibliometric approach to examine the evolutionary trends in the number of topics, important factors, and major research themes in the field of linguistics based on the National Social Science Foundation (NSSFC). The main findings are three-fold and summarized as follows. First, a significant increase in awarded grants in linguistics was found over the examined periods. Second, influential factors such as regions, institutions, and academic ranks significantly affected the likelihood of receiving research grants. Third, eight major research themes were identified, along with their evolving trends. These identified research themes were similar to those in previous studies and focused on basic research. The results further indicate: (1) linguistics as an academic discipline in China has undergone sustainable growth over the examined periods; (2) close attention should be given to critical factors that affect the chance of receiving research grants; (3) research grants reflect government’s strategic plans to sustain the growth of academic disciplines; (4) research grants can work as a helpful tool for mining research information. Practically, while the present study has taken China as the representative case, the methods in use nevertheless have high ecological validity, thus being applicable to future studies concerning mining research themes from voluminous, diachronic text data. Besides, the current results can also serve as practical references for prospective researchers and applicants in their decision-making process.
