“…Academics engage in activities where social and cultural capital is generated and exchanged and where academic appraisal can lead to tangible, but also intangible, rewards. Academic appraisal is often based on the number of published papers and citations these papers generate (Rosinger et al 2016), which leads to researchers' engagement in prestige-maximizing activities, primarily through publishing frequently and in high-ranking journals (Mouritzen & Opstrup, 2020;Kwiek, 2021). Consequently, academic success across many disciplines depends largely on publishing in prestigious journals (Heckman & Moktan, 2018;Kwiek, 2021) except for some areas of the humanities (Hammarfelt, 2017).…”

Open access journals (OAJs) have been celebrated for freeing research from paywalls and increasing the visibility of research results beyond disciplinary, academic, or financial boundaries. They have been recognized as an important part of the Open Science (OS) ecology. However, they are still viewed by some with skepticism. Given these conflicting perceptions, it would be important for LSP researchers and practitioners to understand OAJs better as they may need to work with students who are or will be part of the OS movement. Examining how open access journals describe themselves in their “Aims and Scope” (A&S) statement is a worthwhile step in this direction. I analyzed the A&S statements of 104 OAJs and 104 subscription-based journals. I conducted thematic analysis aided by NVivo. Although both groups of journals include some broad themes in their A&S statements, there are some observable differences in the way they describe their scope and promote themselves. Using the concept of the prestige economy, I offer two theoretical insights: the OAJs journals may be selfconsciously and purposefully responding to the expectations of the prestige economy. Meanwhile, they may be redefining what is relevant in such an economy.

“…The contemporary domain of secondary school mathematics education continues to harbor myriad issues, which not only stifle students' innovative thinking but also impede their holistic development. For instance, a notable number of schools exhibit a predilection for humanities over sciences, channeling a substantial quantum of effort and resources into the pedagogy of language and English disciplines, thereby imposing elevated expectations upon students (Altbach, 2013;Rosinger et al, 2016). This practice culminates in students being bereft of adequate time to exercise mathematical thinking and accrue mathematical methodologies, consequently attenuating their mathematical core literacy (Ökördi & Molnár, 2022).…”

In recent years, the educational landscape has progressively underscored the holistic developmental trajectory of students, with a particular emphasis on the reformation of secondary school mathematics curricula to bolster mathematical literacy. This research delves into the prevailing issues inherent in the design of secondary school mathematics classrooms, positing enhancements through the creation of an engaging learning milieu and fostering interactive, cooperative inquiry. The findings delineated that such pedagogical strategies significantly nurture divergent thinking, analytical acumen, and innovative consciousness among secondary students, thereby facilitating the actualization of core mathematical literacy within the classroom milieu. Prospective research endeavors will aim to meticulously evaluate the efficacy of these strategies through rigorous empirical scrutiny.

“…Education and humanities departments historically have relied on funds from central administration as the traditional budgeting model places tuition dollars under administrative control. This can create a climate of competitiveness between units, and a power struggle between those who are seen as more prestigious because of their receipt of external funding and those less preferred who derive funding through instruction (Rosinger et al, 2016).…”

Through their history, adult education graduate programs have flourished and dwindled and sustainability always seems to be in jeopardy. This case study examines one program’s growth, decline, and continuous rebirth in the competitive higher education market and academic stratification. Throughout its 55 years of existence, faculty have risen from the ranks to embrace an entrepreneurial spirit and leadership. Through flexibility and diversification, the program has evolved to meet the needs of the current learners. This model is sustainable if all faculty focus on the program first and their own professional reputations second.
