This article examines the science journals of pre-service elementary teachers and elementary students to analyze their coordination of evidence and theory in science inquiry activities. The study finds that both groups struggle with creating testable questions and properly using evidence in their claims. They often ignore inconsistent observations and fail to modify their understanding based on new evidence. The findings suggest a need for improved teacher education programs to teach students how to ask quality questions and effectively use evidence in scientific inquiry. Additionally, the document discusses the importance of promoting scientific literacy and inquiry-based learning in elementary schools, highlighting the influence of teachers on students' attitudes towards science and the challenges that primary teachers face in teaching scientific practices. The goal is to foster positive attitudes towards science and engagement with scientific inquiry among both students and teachers. [Extracted from the article]

The round-table discussion dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the journal Vysshee obrazovanie v Rossii (Higher Education in Russia) took place on October 26, 2022 within the framework of XIII International conference of higher education (ICHE). Since its founding, the journal acts as a platform to discuss the urgent issues of higher education. In different periods, the researchers discussed competence-based approach, Bologna process, online education, quality of higher education, educational policy, educational management, assessment of learning outcomes, training of highly skilled researchers and teaching personnel, digitalization of education and many others. Today higher education in Russia is at a turning point of its history. We should impartially evaluate the path traveled, what has been achieved and what are the consequences. A look at the past became the subject of the round-table discussion.

The Revista Ştiinţifică "Vasile Adamachi" (1910–1948) had aimed since its first edition to disseminate the newest achievements of science to the interested general public with the explicit intention of building national consciousness and solidarity that would forward Romania's natural powers through science. Even though the editors of the journal had complained constantly that their efforts to promote the national scientific movement were making slow progress, they maintained their openness toward the international state of research by publishing notes and reviews of the main scientific developments worldwide. Caught between those two ideals (that of a Romanian science and of keeping up with the international scientific scene), the journal reflects the struggles, the difficulties, but also the successes of the individual researchers, acting as a two-way communication channel between science producers and consumers. It provides us with a valuable insight into the Self versus Other perception in a time when contact between the Romanian and Western European cultures was beginning to consciously evolve from mere imitation of a dominant power to the incorporation of fragmented foreign categories. It is a perfect example of 'patchwork', in which the native and foreign elements coexisted in a continuous process of redefining and reshaping the newly formed national identity.

Nature and Science are two major multidisciplinary journals, well-known among the general public and highly-cited by scholarly communities. This article presents Google Trends, a web service providing detailed information on the Google search behavior of Internet users from all countries during the period 2004–2019 and illustrates the preference between Nature and Science. The research shows a general decrease of the demand for both journals and reveals a substantial growth in demand for Nature in some geographic regions and a decline of the interest to Science in many regions. We also found a better affinity to Nature by the general audience and a better affinity to Science in former USSR scholarly allies. This situation is explained on one hand by the editorial policy of the two journals and on the other hand by the influence of the cold war and its aftermath on worldwide scientific societies and the ongoing interest in research areas in different geographic regions.

The natural history review was a quarterly founded in 1854 by Edward Perceval Wright, then an undergraduate student of zoology at Trinity College Dublin. Its first editorial committee (1856-1860) held traditional views of natural history. By 1860 The natural history review had failed, ostensibly for lack of subscribers, and Wright put it in the hands of Thomas Henry Huxley who, together with Joseph Hooker, John Tyndall and others, was then looking for a vehicle to disseminate the agenda of what Huxley later called 'scientific naturalism'. Against advice from his friends, Darwin, Lyell and Hooker, Huxley accepted the editorship, preserving the title but giving The natural history review a new direction by replacing the former editorial team with some of his like-minded colleagues. Extant correspondence between several of these comprises dozens of letters in which The natural history review (1861-1865) was discussed. By the end of 1862 Huxley had given up on it, but the periodical survived until July 1865 with Hooker at the head. Throughout this second series, Charles Darwin exercised an unofficial, effective, and to today's eyes, ethically questionable editorial role. The natural history review ceased publication under Hooker in 1865. Competition from other publications, the lack of a clear purpose and the prevalence of ideology over business sense in the editor-in-chief were the likely reasons for its repeated failures.

Resumo Analisa as dez primeiras edições da Revista de Saúde Pública, publicada pela Universidade de São Paulo, com suporte em metodologia sociocartográfica fundamentada na sociologia do conhecimento de Karl Mannheim. Mapeia artigos e editoriais com vistas à compreensão das transformações no período apresentado. O processo foi marcado por tensões no âmbito do perfil editorial entre o atendimento aos princípios da instituição e as transformações internacionais, requerendo aberturas para temáticas interdisciplinares. Destaca a movimentação das subáreas mostrando predominância de uma epidemiologia em transição pela absorção de novos saberes no contexto de formação do campo da saúde coletiva.
