There has been sustained research interest in the role of early career researchers in advancing the field and the challenges that they face. However, efforts to document lived experiences of researchers working in a specific research area within science education have been scarce. This paper considers the meaning of innovation in the context of nature of science (NOS) research, drawing from a collective reflection of five early career academics from different backgrounds. After discussing the sources of our motivation to innovate in NOS research, we identify four distinct pathways of innovation. These pathways include (1) delving into specific aspects of NOS in greater depth, (2) exploring the interface of NOS and other established research areas, and (3) using NOS to address pressing social issues, and (4) expanding the methodological repertoire of NOS research. We illustrate these four modes of research innovation using examples from our own work. Barriers to early-career innovation such as the absence of NOS in curricula and initial teacher education, the lack of time to engage with practitioners to develop and implement instructional resources, and the underrepresentation of diverse education systems in NOS research literature are discussed.

Investigating and solving the problem of innovative research at universities can help improve the role of these institutions in developing technology and knowledge exchange among different social and economic audiences as well as contribute to more effective interactions between universities and society. The purpose of this article is to identify and report innovation in the field of research, technology, and knowledge exchange in major universities located in Tehran. This research has been carried out quantitatively based on institutional registration data in two steps. First, the components of the model or conceptual framework were identified through an unsystematic review of the documents. The components include innovation in inputs, processes, and outputs. Inputs encompass human and financial resources aw well as infrastructure; processes involve structures, organizations, mechanisms, and procedures; and outputs comprise of creation and application of knowledge and technology, demand-oriented research projects, the quantity and quality of published scientific articles, books, journals, faculty members' scientific ranks, honors they possess, the expansion of postgraduate education, technological units, start-ups, knowledge-based companies and accelerators, international scientific mobility, and income in the field of research, technology, and knowledge exchange. Second, the state of innovation in eight universities under study has been analyzed in the context of research, technology, and knowledge exchange. In these universities, innovation was found to exist in both concept and perspective: innovation in the research and technology system and its elements and components, and the support of universities and the university research and technology system for transformation and innovation to address stagnation, stasis, and recession. Universities have undergone significant transformation and innovation in research inputs, processes, and outputs, technology, and knowledge exchange, hence, they actively support and promote innovation.

BEHAVIORAL research ,GRADUATE students ,SELF-efficacy ,CHINESE students ,GRADUATE education - Abstract
With increased global competition and the advent of the knowledge economy, developing graduate students' ability to innovate in their research has become a core focus of graduate education. Graduate students' perceived help and assistance from supervisors is one of the key resources for research innovation. This study explored the relationships between graduate students' perceived supervisor support and their innovative behavior in research, and examined the mediation effect of creative self-efficacy, their confidence in abilities to generate creative ideas or produce creative outcomes. Survey data were collected from a sample of 996 Chinese graduate students. The results revealed that academic support was negatively related to idea generation and idea search; personal support was positively related to overcoming obstacles; autonomy support was positively related to all factors of innovative behavior except overcoming obstacles and innovation outputs. The mediation analysis suggested that creative self-efficacy significantly mediated the relationship between academic support and graduate students' innovative behavior in research. The results of this study highlight the significance of both supervisor support and creative self-efficacy in developing graduate students' research innovation. The findings have significant implications for stimulating students' research innovation and for improving the quality of graduate education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Technological investment aims to improve research innovation with involving many aspects, resulting in various networks. Previous studies mainly focused on collaboration relationships. In fact, research innovation can also be affected by research content. In this paper, a content perspective is proposed to construct network and analyse network structure's effect on research innovation. Furthermore, networks are divided into high and low groups to test whether network structure's effects are consistent in networks with different research innovation. Using R&D funding, the results indicate that in networks constructed from a content perspective, centralisation and density negatively affect research innovation. Average distance has a significantly positive effect on research innovation, while structural holes have a U-shaped effect on research innovation. Furthermore, it shows that in networks constructed from a content perspective, network structure's effect on research innovation in high innovation networks is larger than that in low innovation networks. We offer recommendations for government agencies regarding the design of investment schemes and for scholars regarding how to select appropriate content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a framework for understanding and revitalizing the important role of conceptual articles in the development of knowledge in the marketing discipline. An analysis of 30 years (1978–2007) of publishing data from major marketing journals indicates that conceptual articles are declining, despite repeated calls for more emphasis on this form of scholarship. The sharpest decline has occurred in Journal of Marketing (JM), with much of the shift occurring over the past decade. Many substantive areas remain largely unexplored in conceptual articles. Over this 30-year period, conceptual articles published in JM have disproportionately more citations relative to their numbers, attesting to the importance of their role in knowledge development. Addressing the decline of conceptual articles and restoring their synergistic balance with other forms of scholarship will require concerted efforts on several interrelated fronts: the current generation of scholars; doctoral programs and students; journals, reviewers, and review process; and promotion, tenure, and incentive systems.

The Grand Challenges for Social Work Initiative aims to focus the profession’s attention on how social work can play a larger role in mitigating contemporary social problems. Yet a central issue facing contemporary social work is its seeming reticence to engage with social problems, and their solutions, beyond individual-level interventions. Social work research, we contend, must more consistently link case and cause, iteratively developing processes for bringing micro-, mezzo-, and macrostreams of information together. We further argue that meaningful engagement with the initiative requires social work scholars and practitioners to actively scale up practice and research inquiry. We detail two key strategies for employing a scaled-up social work practice and research ethos: (a) employing a critical economic lens and (b) engaging with diverse publics. As proof of concept for these arguments, we offer an early example of progressive era social workers scaling up responses to a pressing social issue: infant mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reflects on a three-year research project involving academics and public, private and third sector partners in the UK and India. The team engaged with innovative international outreach research methods to question how listening to ‘voices of experience’ can inform and ‘outrage’ academic and community perspectives on human rights to create and promote local to international access to justice strategies. During the project Keele University, UK, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai and Hyderabad, India, hosted field visits and reflective workshops involving academic, legal and third sector colleagues, to consider the comparative engagement and response to contemporary social welfare and social justice issues. The paper reflects on the learning experience, from which the contrasting India and UK perspectives on sexual violence asserts that academic and community partnerships have a significant role to play in understanding and engaging with contemporary issues; to spark outrage, challenge mainstream responses and promote alternative community legal outreach approaches.

- Abstract
The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) today print a specific way to determine the scientific content that is obtained in the transformation of information into scientific knowledge and the latter in research innovation. Under these conditions, the objective is to identify the state of the art on research training with the use of ICT in university students. A documentary review of articles related to the subject is carried out in the period 2009-2019 and a survey of teachers of the University of Loja is applied by email, which allowed comparing information. Categories that express the role of ICT in research training were identified; with which the state of the art of the subject was identified. As well as indicators were established to determine the frequency of use of the manifestations of ICTs such as Internet search engines, database, forums of scientific groups used in research training; and limitations that are still perceived in said training were determined. The results mean the demand for the use of ICTs to obtain scientific content in research training, but such training is not reduced to the use of technologies, but it will be necessary to have a didactic-pedagogical approach aimed at self-learning in the search, exchange, reflection and analysis of the information that allows the generation of scientific knowledge, as a link for the transformative research innovation of reality., El uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) imprimen hoy una forma específica de determinar el contenido científico que se obtiene en la transformación de la información en conocimiento científico y de este último en innovación investigativa. En estas condiciones se precisa el objetivo en identificar el estado del arte sobre la formación investigativa con el uso de las TIC en estudiantes universitarios. Se realiza revisión documental a artículos relacionados con la temática en el período 2009-2019 y se aplica encuesta a docentes de la Universidad de Loja mediante el correo electrónico, lo cual permitió comparar información. Se identificaron categorías que expresan el papel de las TIC en la formación investigativa; con lo que se identificó el estado del arte de la temática. Así como se establecieron indicadores para determinar la frecuencia de empleo de las manifestaciones de las TIC tales como buscadores de Internet, base de datos, foros de grupos científicos utilizados en la formación investigativa; y se determinaron limitaciones que aún se percibe en dicha formación. Los resultados significan la demanda del uso de las TIC para la obtención del contenido científico en la formación investigativa, pero dicha formación no se reduce a la utilización de las tecnologías, sino será necesario disponer de un enfoque didáctico-pedagógico orientado al autoaprendizaje en la búsqueda, intercambio, reflexión y análisis de la información que permita la generación de conocimiento científico, como eslabón para la innovación investigativa transformadora de la realidad.

Humanities and social science have fuzzy boundaries due to the application of findings from natural science and technologies. But their core features are associated with the social and humanity aspects. And the independent value of research on humanities and social science lies in the description of objects in neutral and objective perspectives, in discoveries of relationships and predictions of tendencies, as well as in the contribution of managerial suggestions. Any kind of knowledge accumulation, proposal of analytical structures or logical constructions, methods and technologies that will facilitate the achievement of one or several of the above-mentioned fundamental goals are the important content of scientific research and innovations. Interdisciplinary research is gaining rapid popularity at home and abroad, and the number of application-orientated interdisciplinary subjects and studies is ever increasing. The interdisciplinary concept frequently occurs from various meetings to diverse policies, from project proposals to award reviews, and from curricular design to the establishment of a major. However, in contrast to discourse focus interdisciplinary research has not yet become productive. And interdisciplinary science remains no more than a lexical focus at the conceptual level, whose characteristics, regularities and ontology have drawn little attention. Moreover, the talents and supporting funding in interdisciplinary research as well as their social influence are still in a disadvantageous situation. The study of tourism is an investigation of complex phenomena that are closely related to society, nature, culture, economy and environment. With the increment of the number of tourists and the expansion of tourism economy worldwide, the development, organization, management and the social effect of tourism research is drawing increasing attention, and the targets of tourism research is becoming more and more diverse, accordingly the paradigm of tourism research exhibits a vast variety. However, at present the social influence of tourism research is relatively weak, far behind that of the tourism industry, especially in terms of the description of emerging tourism economy, tourism effects, and the development and change of tourist behaviors, which are still stuck in difficult situations of scientific research. This paper takes tourism research as an example to discuss strategies to achieve breakthroughs in interdisciplinary cross studies on humanities and social science. It suggests that emerging interdisciplinary research focus on the construction of fundamental concepts, classification and statistics, meanwhile, it pay attention to the formation of open growing frameworks of knowledge that can accommodate the development of emerging phenomena, to the extension of corpus data collection and various analytical methods, the encouragement of basic investigation and description of emerging phenomena, the guidance of scientific research towards social demands, and to the popularization of scientific research findings, in order to promote substantial innovations of scientific research on the basis of paradigmatic boundaries.

In global terms, European farms produce high yields of safe and high quality food but this depends on the use of many off-farm inputs and the associated greenhouse gas emissions, loss of soil nutrients and other negative environmental impacts incur substantial societal costs. Farmers in the European Union receive support through a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that comprises direct payments to farmers (Pillar I) and payments related to rural development measures (Pillar II). This paper examines the ways in which agroforestry can support European agriculture and rural development drawing on the conclusions of 23 papers presented in this Special Issue of Agroforestry Systems which have been produced during a 4-year research project called AGFORWARD. The project had the goal of promoting agroforestry in Europe and focused on four types of agroforestry: (1) existing systems of high nature and cultural value, and agroforestry for (2) high value tree, (3) arable, and (4) livestock systems. The project has advanced our understanding of the extent of agroforestry in Europe and of farmers’ perceptions of agroforestry, including the reasons for adoption or non-adoption. A participatory approach was used with over 40 stakeholder groups across Europe to test selected agroforestry innovations through field trials and experiments. Innovations included improved grazing management in agroforestry systems of high nature and cultural value and the introduction of nitrogen fixing plants in high value timber plantations and olive groves. Other innovations included shelter benefits for arable crops, and disease-control, nutrient-retention, and food diversification benefits from integrating trees in livestock enterprises. Biophysical and economic models have also been developed to predict the effect of different agroforestry designs on crop and tree production, and on carbon sequestration, nutrient loss and ecosystems services in general. These models help us to quantify the potential environmental benefits of agroforestry, relative to agriculture without trees. In view of the substantial area of European agroforestry and its wider societal and environmental benefits, the final policy papers in this Special Issue argue that agroforestry should play a more significant role in future versions of the CAP than it does at present.

The 'knowledge economy' has been received with considerable scepticism by scholars within the fields of political economy, social and political philosophy, and higher education. Key arguments within this literature are reviewed in this article to suggest that, despite policy claims, 'knowledge economy' does not describe a 'new' mode of economic production, but a discursive recasting of the relations between ideas and the economy. The article argues that knowledge economy policy discourse undermines older understandings of the role of universities within a democracy, and fails to recognise and support the distinctive and diverse nature of university knowledge innovations. The dangers of allowing economic logic to supersede educational concerns are exemplified with reference to Australian research degrees. Here the focus upon 'generic' training to produce 'knowledge workers' manifests in an approach that does little to support doctoral students and their supervisors in the actual work of research.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted ongoing clinical trials globally resulting in the suspension, cancellation or transition to entirely remote implementation of studies. In India, the first countrywide lockdown was imposed in phases starting from March 2020 to June 2020, followed by a continued restriction on in-person activities including study procedures, which halted the ESSENCE (Enabling translation of Science to Service to ENhance Depression CarE) trial activities such as recruitment, consenting, baseline assessment, digital training orientation, face to face training and end-line assessment evaluation. This situation made it imperative to amend procedures in order to mitigate the risk and address safety requirements for participants and the research team. This paper summarizes the need, development and implementation of the protocols focused on risk reduction and safety enhancement with an objective to resume and continue the research activities while ensuring the safety of study participants and research staff. These protocols are comprised of guidelines and recommendations based on existing literature tailored according to different components in each arm of the trial such as guidelines for supervisors, travellers, training/recruitment venue safety procedures, individual safety procedures; and procedures to implement the study activities. These protocols can be adapted by researchers in other settings to conduct research trials during pandemics such as COVID-19.

- Abstract
• Limited studies focused on the development and implementation of the COVID-19 safety protocols for conducting clinical trials. • Reinforcing the need to use strategies such as the use of SOPs and adherence to SOPs as a way of reducing infectious disease risk. • We have described the process behind developing the safety protocol and its implementation along with challenges and mitigation strategies. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted ongoing clinical trials globally resulting in the suspension, cancellation or transition to entirely remote implementation of studies. In India, the first countrywide lockdown was imposed in phases starting from March 2020 to June 2020, followed by a continued restriction on in-person activities including study procedures, which halted the ESSENCE (Enabling translation of Science to Service to ENhance Depression CarE) trial activities such as recruitment, consenting, baseline assessment, digital training orientation, face to face training and end-line assessment evaluation. This situation made it imperative to amend procedures in order to mitigate the risk and address safety requirements for participants and the research team. This paper summarizes the need, development and implementation of the protocols focused on risk reduction and safety enhancement with an objective to resume and continue the research activities while ensuring the safety of study participants and research staff. These protocols are comprised of guidelines and recommendations based on existing literature tailored according to different components in each arm of the trial such as guidelines for supervisors, travellers, training/recruitment venue safety procedures, individual safety procedures; and procedures to implement the study activities. These protocols can be adapted by researchers in other settings to conduct research trials during pandemics such as COVID-19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ‘knowledge economy’ has been received with considerable scepticism by scholars within the fields of political economy, social and political philosophy, and higher education. Key arguments within this literature are reviewed in this article to suggest that, despite policy claims, ‘knowledge economy’ does not describe a ‘new’ mode of economic production, but a discursive recasting of the relations between ideas and the economy. The article argues that knowledge economy policy discourse undermines older understandings of the role of universities within a democracy, and fails to recognise and support the distinctive and diverse nature of university knowledge innovations. The dangers of allowing economic logic to supersede educational concerns are exemplified with reference to Australian research degrees. Here the focus upon ‘generic’ training to produce ‘knowledge workers’ manifests in an approach that does little to support doctoral students and their supervisors in the actual work of research.
