“…Teachers must determine appropriate reading teaching strategies to increase students' interest in learning. In this regard, there are several characteristics of innovative teaching strategies: collaboration (Farsani et al, 2021;Troussas et al, 2020). The use of collaboration is essential for engaging EFL students in learning reading.…”

There are still many students who do not like reading. Students feel that reading is a tiring activity, so students rarely have the intention to read. Students feel bored when reading and make students fast. This is the main reason why students do not like to read. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of using e-mind maps in online reading learning based on Think-Pair-Share on the reading comprehension of Indonesian EFL students. This research is a pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consists of 32 class students. The techniques used to collect data are observation and interviews. Data were collected through pretest and posttest and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics assisted by SPSS version 24. The results showed that the average posttest score of students was 91.13, which was higher than the average student pretest score of 75.72, and there were significant differences. The important difference between the mean pretest and posttest scores (Sig. (two-sided) was .000 < .05). Therefore, it can be said that the e-mind map in online reading learning based on Think-Pair-Share has a positive and significant effect on the reading comprehension of Indonesian EFL students. The research implication is that teachers can use e-mind map integration in online Think-Pair-Share settings. The application of e-mind in online Think-Pair-Share settings can facilitate students in learning and create a pleasant learning atmosphere so as to improve students’ reading comprehension, especially in learning English skills such as speaking, listening, and writing.

“…But no associated study which support the early decision-making for prioritizing self-assurance in academic writing based on applied linguistics has been found. Farsani et al (2021) analyzed and coded procedural and methodological collaboration of 3,992 articles published on linguistics in the 18 prominent journals from 2009 to 2018. They classified the articles and showed that 4.5% of the articles were non-empirical while the rest were empirical.…”

Based on applied linguistics, this study looked at the decision support system (DSS) for emphasizing self-assurance in academic writing. From a generic perspective, academic writing has been considered both a process and a product. It has highlighted the planning composite processes, editing, composing, revising, and assessment, which depend upon the familiarity of someone with confidence in their capability for engagement in these activities. As a product, it has focused on the writing results through the product’s characteristics. These contain specific content areas in acceptable depth and well-structured technical vocabulary. Higher education aims to support students in optimizing their potential for achieving satisfactory outcomes. For example, the assessment of grades involves academic writing, contributing to the degree course classification. Students have differences in many respects, such as expectations, background knowledge, and study and learning approaches. There were varying students’ beliefs about what academic writing is for evaluation. Modern-day motivations and theories highlight the significance of students’ confidence in their studies. The role of high confidence can support students to apply more effort toward setting challenging goals. Students may find it more difficult to succeed in higher education if they lack confidence in their academic writing abilities. A DSS has many applications in diverse areas and can play a significant role in the ranking and prioritization process. The current study has considered the DSS for prioritizing self-assurance in academic writing based on applied linguistics. Various criteria were considered for the evaluation of the research. The Super Decision software was used for the experimental process of the proposed research. The results of the study show the effectiveness of the proposed research.

“…One example is that high number of tables are positively associated with citations (Elgendi 2019). While tables are claimed to enhance the trustworthiness of a research publication (Cloutier and Ravasi 2021), the high number of tables in HCA is more likely an indicator of the research methodology: tables are more common in quantitative research, which is cited more than qualitative research (Antonakis et al 2014;Farsani et al 2021;Swygart-Hobaugh 2004). Put differently, by scraping the surface a bit, the seemingly value-free finding concerning the number of tables appears to signpost an imbalance between these two major methodological paradigms.…”

Highly cited educational technology journal articles: a descriptive and critical analysis

Citations are valuable capital in the academy as the number of citations is the most frequently used indicator in evaluating the quality of papers, journals, researchers, and universities. Thus, the characteristics of highly cited articles (HCA) have become a common research topic but the approach has been mainly descriptive with no profound critical reflection of what kind of research is cited, where the research is from, where the research is published, and what do these things mean for edtech research. This paper contributes to this need by providing a descriptive and critical analysis of 200 highly cited articles from 10 edtech journals. To summarize the key findings, a 'typical' edtech HCA is a Western-based review article or quantitative research paper reporting positive findings from higher education, published in a highimpact factor general edtech journal by a major publisher.
