“…When the data are to be used as evidence for a phenomenon under investigation, secondary data analysis would be appropriate (Irwin, 2013). The content analysis process follows the stages as elaborated in the studies of Srnka and Koeszegi (2007) and Vaitkevicius and Kazokiene (2013) with ample modification because the unit of analysis for the study is implicit in the websites of the universities. The stages mentioned in these studies are as follows:…”

The present study has been undertaken to examine the growth trajectory of the higher education (HE) sector across all the countries in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region, the transition toward internationalization, quality initiatives undertaken, and movement toward regional integration. The study aims to provide a review for the shifting paradigm through concepts of internationalization in the literature review and to probe on the themes facing the GCC in their adaptation to internationalization. The study is based on secondary data, mainly of the websites of 167 universities/higher education institutions (HEIs) of GCC, which were analyzed for their adaptation to internationalization. The results show the various perspectives of internationalization with the suggestion on regional integration. It is hoped the study would provide the HEIs and the policy makers with a strong foundation on their internationalization efforts.

“…This paper is intended to explore the possibilities of hermeneutic systems application in coding design and conceptualizes the published method. The empirical example of coding sequence practical application in the empirical research is presented in the paper The Quantitative Content Processing Methodology: Coding of Narratives and Their Statistical Analysis (Vaitkevicius & Kazokiene, 2013).…”

In this paper there is described the use of hermeneutic systems for scientific purposes in economics. Rethinking of hermeneutic systems allowed to transform them into economic information scientific collection methods and enabled to design the quantification procedure for collected qualitative data. The paper also deals with the quantitative coding of authorial intentions, which enables to convert the variables used in the narratives and qualitative research such as interviews into quantitative variables and compare them to the variables used in quantitative research or to make their analysis using the quantitative methods. This methodology is based on the combination of Romanticist, Phenomenological, Dialectical, Critical, and Post-structural hermeneutic systems of interpretation described by Demeterio III. These systems allowed describing the phenomena of knowledge producing which is important in selecting the right hermeneutical coding construct. In this methodology the hermeneutical coding consists of four structural elements: text, interpreter, reality and variables. In order to ensure the repeatability of coding results the special coding sequence was designed. It combines six stages of content processing and coding: reading the text and understanding its overall meaning (based on selection and use of hermeneutic systems), identification of text's logical structure (based on Wilkinson's Key and Hook technique), dividing the text into logical passages, comparative analysis of the logical passages and their conflation into coherent logical sequence, operationalization of the logical passages (based on operationalization technique of Merkys and Six unit coding sequence given by Weber), and dichotomous coding (based on Whicker & Lynn dichotomous coding).
