“…Using a sample of students enrolled in US public universities, the author found that the students who receive financial aid are more likely to graduate in the year they turn 24 than those who do not receive loans. Finally, a recent study carried out by Graziosi et al (2020) with a sample of Italian university students also showed a positive effect of receiving grant financial aid on the likelihood of graduating, achieving a higher number of credits, and avoiding dropout.…”

Autonomy is conceptualized as the need for agency, self-actualization, and independence. Nowadays, financial independence and academic achievement for young populations may be considered as key aspects in the transition to adulthood in response to some contextual demands of different cultural environments. By means of a multi-level model, the present study aims to determine the influence and contribution of factors at individual level (e.g., sex, age, socioeconomic status, family financial support, awarded scholarships, personal finance, student loans) and school level (e.g., program quality, online programs, face to face programs) on the academic achievement of young higher education Colombian students. Data come from the scores of the national standardized academic achievement test administered in 2018 in Colombia. The sample included 234,386 students enrolled in 3,389 higher education institutions in Colombia. After controlling the effects of program quality, and the student's previous academic abilities and socioeconomic conditions, results showed that students with scholarships had higher scores than financially dependent students (those who had student loans) and financially independent students (those who self-funded their studies or who worked during the week) who had low scores in the national standardized academic achievement test.

“…Fuente: elaboración propia Entre las relaciones positivas entre becas y rendimiento, Graziosi et al (2020) constatan que, entre 7.415 estudiantes de primer año matriculados en cinco universidades italianas, las subvenciones basadas en la necesidad tienen un impacto positivo y significativo en el éxito estudiantil, contribuyendo a completar los estudios, graduarse y disminuir probabilidad de abandono en primer año, principalmente en disciplinas de humanidades y ciencias sociales.…”

En los últimos años se ha observado un incremento significativo en la matrícula de estudiantes de menores ingresos a la universidad, dado el mayor financiamiento a través de becas y préstamos; sin embargo, la efectividad de estos programas no es tan clara considerando las bajas tasas de retención, persistencia y graduación. El presente estudio tiene como propósito identificar los efectos de las ayudas financieras sobre los indicadores de logros estudiantiles a través de una revisión sistemática de literatura internacional entre 2015 y 2020 para encontrar relaciones entre el desempeño de los estudiantes y las ayudas financieras que reciben. Los resultados demuestran que, en el caso de las becas, el efecto es positivo en los indicadores de rendimiento y graduación; empero, en el caso de los préstamos, el desempeño es heterogéneo y denota un estrés financiero para los estudiantes. Se concluye la necesidad de investigaciones futuras que determinen de manera consistente la significancia de los préstamos en los resultados académicos dada la gran inversión pública en este ámbito, y la vinculación del perfil de estudiantes e instituciones con el impacto de los programas de financiamiento, para contribuir a la selección de programas efectivos y la toma de decisiones de la política pública.

Editor-in-chief's column FOR CITATION c o n o m i c onsultant Ostapenko, R. I. (2020). "Word cloud" as a graphical supplement to a scientific article (Editor-in-chief's column). Economic consultant, 32 (4), 4. doi: 10.46224/ecoc.2020.4.1 "Word cloud" as a graphical supplement to a scientific article A n ever-greater number of journals now not only publish text content but also try to provide graphical abstracts for manuscripts. A graphical abstract is a graphical presentation of the main conclusions of the paper. The figure can be taken from the paper or specially designed. At the same time, it should represent the content of the paper as much as possible and be understandable for readers. However, it is not always possible to create a graphical abstract, for example, for review and theoretical articles in the field of social and economic sciences. The editors of the Economic Consultant journal suggested publishing a "word cloud" as a graphical supplement to a scientific paper. Since 2019, the "word cloud" has been published for each paper. A word cloud is a visualization of word frequency in a text. The font size of each word in the "cloud" is determined by its prevalence in the text. The word cloud helps readers to understand what basic keywords and terms the author uses directly in the text of the paper. To present this visualization, the editors decided to use the service https://wordscloud.pythonanywhere.com/. The layout designer can process the paper, using only its text (without the title, abstract, and references). From 2020, the editorial board decided to publish such graphical supplements not only in pdf articles but also on the pages of journal articles. However, we understand that graphical supplements cannot substitute for graphical abstracts, and the development of the latter seems to us to be a promising trend in the development of the Economic Consultant journal.
