This article examines social science research into the socioeconomic and cultural factors associated with immigrants who naturalize. Few of the studies in this review use statistical methodologies and many of the findings are highly impressionistic. Yet, several of the studies find common factors to explain the decision to naturalize. These include: length of residence in the United States, varied potentials for acculturation among different national origin groups, motivation for immigration and formal education and language skills. However, no single study is found that examines all of the variables influencing the naturalization decision.
Government innovation has become a common concept in many countries for influencing public sector reform. Government policy has also attracted attention from academia as a modern concept of governance. This study aims to understand issue innovation in government perspective. This study reviewed the literature of an article published in the social sciences through the NVivo analysis tool. This study indicates that the main issues in government innovation are public, actors, politics, policies, and institutions. This study also finds that government innovation can be used for decision-making and increasing organizational capacity. In addition, it can also be used to improve democratic institutions and increase organizational. This article contributions is provide new topic concerning government innovation in the future.

Ivan Jablonka's History Is a Contemporary Literature offers highly innovative perspectives on the writing of history, the relationship between literature and the social sciences, and the way that both social-scientific inquiry and literary explorations contribute to our understanding of the world. Jablonka argues that the act and art of writing, far from being an afterthought in the social sciences, should play a vital role in the production of knowledge in all stages of the researcher's work and embody or even constitute the understanding obtained. History (along with sociology and anthropology) can, he contends, achieve both greater rigor and wider audiences by creating a literary experience through a broad spectrum of narrative modes.Challenging scholars to adopt investigative, testimonial, and other experimental writing techniques as a way of creating and sharing knowledge, Jablonka envisions a social science literature that will inspire readers to become actively engaged in understanding their own pasts and to relate their histories to the present day. Lamenting the specialization that has isolated the academy from the rest of society, History Is a Contemporary Literature aims to bring imagination and audacity into the practice of scholarship, drawing on the techniques of literature to strengthen the methods of the social sciences.
Con il recente sviluppo tecnologico dei veicoli elettrici, la letteratura accademica sull'argomento si è diffusa anche nell'ambito delle scienze sociali. Lo scopo di questo capitolo è duplice. Innanzitutto, esamina lo sviluppo storico della ricerca accademica sui veicoli elettrici. In secondo luogo, identifica i contributi più importanti sull'argomento. L'analisi sistematica della letteratura viene utilizzata per identificare e classificare la letteratura accademica sull'EV. Sono stati identificati e inclusi nelle analisi articoli scientifici scritti in inglese e pubblicati su riviste di scienze sociali elencate nella banca dati Scopus tra il 1995 e il 2018, contenenti il termine "veicoli elettrici". Presentiamo lo sviluppo temporale dell'evoluzione della letteratura su EV. Vengono discussi gli argomenti di ricerca relativi ai veicoli elettrici che sono più frequentemente trattati, nonché quelli su cui la ricerca è carente. Le nostre analisi individua gli articoli più influenti sull'EV che è opportuna che sia i ricercatori che i politici conoscano. C'è stato sia un aumento in termini quantitativi dell'attenzione sulle EV sia una crescita relativa rispetto ad altre aree di ricerca nell'ambito delle scienze sociali. Il termine "ambiente" è stato l'argomento più frequente analizzato. Per quanto riguarda gli argomenti poco studiati, è stata prestata relativamente meno attenzione, ad esempio, al "comportamento". Ciò potrebbe essere alquanto preoccupante, considerato l'obiettivo politico dichiarato in molti paesi di aumentare la quota di mercato dei veicoli elettrici. ; With the recent technological development of mass market commercial electric vehicles (EVs), academic literature on the topic has been emerging also within the social sciences. The aim of this chapter is twofold. First, it examines the historical development of academic research on EVs. Second, it identifies the seminal works on the topic. Systematic literature review is used to identify and classify the academic literature on EV. Scientific articles written in English and published in social science journals listed in the Scopus data-base between 1995 and 2018, containing the term "electric vehicles" were identified and included in the analyses. We present a timeline on the evolution of the literature on EV. Research topics related to EVs that is most frequently covered as well as the under-research topics in the existing literature are discussed. Our analyses find out the most influential articles on EV, to which both researchers and policymakers ought to familiarise themselves with. There has been both an absolute increase in the research focus on EV and a growth relative to other research areas within the social sciences. "Environment" was the most frequent topic. With respect to under-researched topics, relatively less attention has been given to for example "Behaviour" than other topics related to EV. This can be somewhat of a concern given the stated policy objective in many countries to increase the EV market share.

Public participation is the right and obligation of citizens to contribute to development by contributing to initiative and creativity. Public participation has also attracted a lot of attention from academia as a concept of public policy. The authors conducted a systematic literature review of published articles in the social sciences to enhance our understanding of public participation. Some of the main issues are explained in this area through the NVIVO 12 plus software that qualitative analysis tool. The main issues are community, development, government, information, and interests. This article raises several propositions on the matter. This article suggests some new topics for further research.

Shakespeare between Machiavelli and Hobbes explores Shakespeare's political outlook by comparing some of the playwright's best-known works to the works of Italian political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli and English social contract theorist Thomas Hobbes. This ultimately reveals the materialist principles that underpin Shakespeare's imaginary states.

This volume employs new empirical data to examine the internationalization of the social sciences and humanities (SSH). While the globalization dynamics that have transformed the shape of the world over the last decades has been the subject of a growing number of scientific studies, very few such studies have set out to analyze the globalization of social and human sciences themselves. Arguing against the complacent assumption that Science is 'international by nature', this work demonstrates that the growing circulation of scholars and scientific ideas is a complex, contradictory and contested process. Arranged thematically, the chapters in this volume present a coherent exploration of patterns of transnationalization, South-North and East-West exchanges, and transnational regionalization. Further, they offer fresh insight into specific topics including the influence of the Anglo-American research infrastructure and the development of social and human sciences in postcolonial contexts. Featuring contributions from leading international scholars in the field, this work will advance the research agenda and will have interdisciplinary appeal for scholars from across the social sciences.

The business process management (BPM) approach enhances organizational competitiveness and facilitates digital business transformations. Successful implementation of BPM necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its conceptual foundations and developmental trajectory. This study aims to investigate BPM studies in social sciences, unraveling the evolution and main pillars of the BPM concept. The research methodology comprises a bibliometric analysis of 95 articles indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1997 to 2023 using the Biblioshiny App, followed by a narrative literature review of the most highly cited publications.The results unveil a notable shift in BPM research to information technologies, reflecting an interdisciplinary nature of the BPM concept (going beyond management itself). However, the analysis indicates that BPM research in social sciences tends to be specialized and localized, characterized by limited collaboration among scholars, research teams, institutions, and countries. The study identifies a diverse range of relevant research topics encompassing the maturity concept, business process, process orientation, process performance, success factors, and data and knowledge management. Process modeling and improvement emerge as central but underexplored areas, while strategic management, complexity theory, and organizational processes display declining thematic trends. The most frequently cited research papers primarily focus on enriching BPM practices through integrating digital tools and innovations, emphasizing the role of organizational culture in facilitating BPM implementation and investigating the relationship between BPM and supply chain integration and performance.
