“…The above studies basically rely on the EIS and empirical analysis/model to quantify the current state or degree of coordination of inter-and intra-regional higher education in China, failing to tackle the overall collaborative development of the national higher education system. Taking the CDL of China's higher education as a whole, this paper quantitatively measures the collaborative development levels of the higher education system in China and its subsystems, with improved distance collaboration model based on TOPSIS and grey correlation theory [17][18][19][20][21].…”

With the aid of grey correlation theory and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), this paper sets up a multi-dimensional evaluation index system (EIS) for the comprehensive development level (CDL) of China’s higher education, and quantifies the state of collaborative development in 2005-2017 with an improved distance collaboration model. The results show that: Being the premises and bases of higher education, the supply subsystem develops much slower than the other subsystems (i.e. participation, output, and environment), and clearly pulls the development of the other subsystems. From 2012 onwards, the subsystems conformed to basically the same trend for the degree of collaboration: the degree of collaboration tended to be stable. There was even a slight dent in overall degree of collaboration between 2012 and 2016. Hence, the overall degree of collaborative development was far slower than the overall degree of development. After more than a decade of development, the degree of development, degree of collaboration, and degree of collaborative development reached basically the same level in 2017. The empirical results shed new lights on the focal points of higher education development in China.

“…Since then, different frameworks and tools have been developed to assess and measure sustainability in higher education, the so‐called sustainability assessment tools (SATs) for HEIs (Kioupi & Voulvoulis, 2020; Lozano & Barreiro‐Gen, 2019). The study of sustainability in the context of higher education remains an emerging area of research of extreme importance (Cheben et al, 2020; Leal Filho et al, 2021).…”

Since the UN Conference on the Human Environment was held in Stockholm in 1972, higher education institutions (HEIs) have been adapting to assume their social role in supporting societies in promoting sustainable lifestyles. However, HEIs are complex institutions composed of several interdependent subsystems. Sustainable improvement requires holistic assessment measures to comply with established goals. To date, few studies have focused on comparing the different perceptions of sustainability in HEIs and considering the views of the academic community in shaping the efforts and better disseminating sustainable development initiatives. To fill this gap, this work aimed to implement a methodology that compares the perceptions of sustainability and the implemented actions among members of HEIs to show the discrepancies between perceptions and facts. Many studies report either the perception of members of the academic community or the technical assessment of the sustainable performance of the institution in isolation. The novelty of this work lies in developing a tool that allows the use of a similar scale to compare the perception of users of academic services with the valuation attributed by technicians responsible for implementing sustainable development initiatives at HEIs. Analysing of these results enables the identification of dimensions with discrepancies, guiding managers as they carry out actions to promote greater community engagement in implementing sustainability initiatives that boost the consolidation of these values in the institutional culture. Additionally, it is highlighted that the proposed methodology could be adapted for use in other types of institutions, maintaining the same benefits described here.

“…As early as the 1990s, the success in the career of graduates started to be used as a key factor in assessing the quality of education in general and of higher education in particular (Chebeň, Lančarič, Munk & Obdržálek, 2020). Thus, one important aspect of the quality of higher education is represented by the quality of the results obtained by graduates, which indicates that academic education brings added value by developing work-related skills and competences.…”

“…Moreover, higher education institutions are obliged to provide continuous educational services, in form of postgraduate education, distance learning, lifelong learning of older or international students, and vocational/ professional education for different organizations, since there is an increased dependence between the public funding of the institution and the quality of the educational process. On the other hand, students ' perceptions of the quality of teaching are significantly affected by the source of educational funds, and the quality of education has an impact on graduates' career success and employability (Chebeň, Lančarič, Munk & Obdržálek, 2020). Employability has become a key issue in many countries, particular attention being paid to the role played by higher education in developing and fostering employability.…”

This article aims at describing the interest of researchers in analysing students' skills, as an important factor for increasing employability, within the context of pursuing internships. Specifically, we aim at analysing by bibliometric methods the characteristics of the articles that are at the intersection of three essential underlying economic concepts - internships, competences/ skills/ abilities, employability – published in the last 10 years. The objective of the research is to outline: the dynamics of the number of studies, during a decade, in the time period 2010-2020; territorial distribution of these studies; distribution of the studies according to the research area; the relevance of the studies, as assessed by the number of citations and the links between the keywords mentioned in these studies. Thus, the present article contributes to the scientific literature in the field of management by analysing the association between skills, internship and employability in an indirect manner: using bibliometric analysis. There is a significant increase in the number of documents published after 2017, a distribution focused on geographical areas and fields of study, as well as an exponential increase in the number of citations, which emphasizes the high relevance of the topic analysed.
