“…Medical education journal editors have unique insights into MER and are responsible for determining the value and significance of works submitted [ 12 ]. We contacted all editorial board members of the top 10 medical education journals, based on 2022 impact factors, via their public email addresses, provided an information letter, and invited them to participate in a one-on-one virtual interview.…”

When clinician-educators and medical education researchers use and discuss medical education research, they can advance innovation in medical education as well as improve its quality. To facilitate the use and discussions of medical education research, we created a prefatory visual representation of key medical education research topics and associated experts. We conducted one-on-one virtual interviews with medical education journal editorial board members to identify what they perceived as key medical education research topics as well as who they associated, as experts, with each of the identified topics. We used content analysis to create categories representing key topics and noted occurrences of named experts. Twenty-one editorial board members, representing nine of the top medical education journals, participated. From the data we created a figure entitled, Medical Education Research Library. The library includes 13 research topics, with assessment as the most prevalent. It also notes recognized experts, including van der Vleuten, ten Cate, and Norman. The key medical education research topics identified and included in the library align with what others have identified as trends in the literature. Selected topics, including workplace-based learning, equity, diversity, and inclusion, physician wellbeing and burnout, and social accountability, are emerging. Once transformed into an open educational resource, clinician-educators and medical education researchers can use and contribute to the functional library. Such continuous expansion will generate better awareness and recognition of diverse perspectives. The functional library will help to innovate and improve the quality of medical education through evidence-informed practices and scholarship.

“…Regarding the sampling procedure, a detailed assessment of an individual's job experience and position was considered an essential element of the material for the qualitative study, according to Forsberg et al (2022). Participants who met the stated criteria worked with oil and gas operators and had been involved in upstream activities, preferably at the senior management level.…”

This study employs a qualitative approach to comprehensively understand the phenomenon, examining the impact of new technology adoption on the operational performance of an upstream oil and gas company in the Middle East. Despite the emergence of substitutes, it emphasizes the importance of oil and gas as essential energy sources. In order to accomplish strategic goals, the study emphasizes technological integration and ongoing business process improvement as critical components of operational performance, which is examined as a critical success element in the industry. The narrative turns towards a paradigm change in the historically conservative oil industry, recognizing a slow rise in innovative efforts for improving operations and concentrating on robotics and automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and system integration (IoT). This study assesses how these technological developments can optimize operations and increase efficiency, safety, and effectiveness.

“…Regardless of well-intentioned mission statements and accreditation expectations calling for research to be aligned with advancing the SDGs or other sustainable development standards, the institutionalized research metrics used to determine career advancement and job security for faculty have seriously undermined research impact. Each discipline is ruled by a small set of 'top' journals that define a field, usually linked to 'top' schools whose editorial boards control them as "gatekeepers" to disciplinary fields [71]. Faculty are incentivized to publish often and target these journals with high impact factors in hopes of garnering high citation scores.…”

Societal Impacts of Higher Education Research: From ‘Publish or Perish’ to ‘Publish and Prosper’ in Business School Scholarship

This paper introduces a transformative systems-level framework for understanding the interplay of institutional, cultural, and systemic dynamics influencing the societal impacts of academic research. We introduce and apply the Societal Impacts of Research Institutional Ecosystem (SIRIE) framework to business school scholarship and academic research in higher education. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as SIRIE’s normative ethical framework to benchmark: institutional mission; accreditation bodies’ compliance requirements; faculty tenure and promotion research expectations; the influence of rankings and ratings; and journal quality metrics. Our framework acknowledges the role the Anthropocene Epoch plays in contributing to contemporary social and environmental problems. We argue that recalcitrant institutional forces in academia neutralize the promise of academic scholarship to galvanize meaningful societal impacts. We assert that the contemporary state of higher education research is unfortunately dominated by a “publish or perish” mentality. This narrative produces academic research that is decontextualized from today’s exigent “grand challenges” related to poverty, climate, equity, health, peace, environment, etc., as well as transformative solutions for a sustainable future. By exploring an alternative paradigm for academic research through SIRIE and the SDGs—“publish and prosper”—we detail how academic research can meaningfully contribute to change the world for the better.
