Numerous studies have called attention to the importance of rhetoric inscientific writing by focusing on arguments presented in scientific debate articles. In contrast, citation analysis studies indicate that empirical research articles are generally nonconfrontational in criticizing the work of other researchers. How do empirical research reports establish opposing perspectives to argue against? One rhetoricalstrategy is to be 'interesting', which, according to Davis (1971), is the author's attempt to contradict a taken-for-granted assumption of the reader. Scholars in management, marketing, and consumer research have also cited Davis' conception of 'interestingness' as a characteristic of research that is more influential and intellectually creative. This article presents textual evidence from a volume of the Journal of Consumer Research demonstrating that a majority of researcher-authors of these articles use 'interestingness' as a rhetorical framing device in the abstracts, introductions, and concluding sections of empirical articles. However, an analysis of article citations and references suggests that these 'interesting' articles are neither more influential nor more innovative than other articles in the same volume.
The attempts to reform the Russian education system since the fall of communism have had very uneven results. (… The authors research has lead him) to conclude that both Russian reformers and their international allies miscalculated the degree to which professional activism or a nascent "civil society" would compensate for the loss of state or public administration and financing after 1991. Assuming that the end of "totalitarian" education would result in a flourishing of grass-roots "innovation", reformers failed to anticipate the deepening financial and administrative crises in post communist education. These severe crises, mitigated only in part by Western assistance, have resulted in the sharp degradation of the public education systems and human resource capacities in Russia and the other newly independent states, and directly threaten the future of democratic and market reform. It seems that both many Russian reformers and their Western allies were guided more by idealized Western models than by an accurate sense of Russian needs and capacities. (… The authors) conclusions are that international assistance should be focused more directly on helping to foster new professional networks that can better defend and retrain educators and teachers; and also that we must better combine general educational research with area studies knowledge to inform our cooperative efforts.

Recent articles in Marketing Theory have criticized the cumulativeness and the diffusion of knowledge emanating from academic journals in marketing. The normative and the social exchange theories of citation propose that intellectual influence and knowledge transfer may be traced by examining relationships between references and citations of journal articles. Analysis of a sample of articles drawn from eight marketing journals suggests that marketing knowledge exhibits both cumulativeness and knowledge diffusion. For example, analysis of the sample of articles indicates that there is significant reciprocating influence between references and citations within a journal, across marketing journals, and across disciplinary boundaries. The influences of article references on citations are analyzed relative to the effect of the journal of publication on citations. Results indicate that the perceived quality of the journal rather than the accessibility of the journal is also influential on citations of articles.
In: Themes in world history
Education in World History shows how broad currents in transnational history have interacted with trends in educational organization and teaching practices over time.From antiquity and early classical societies to the present day, this book highlights the ways in which changes in religious and intellectual life and economic patterns in key world regions have generated developments in education. Since the postclassical period, cross-cultural connections have also influenced educational change. In more recent times, transnational dialogues and mobility have played a vital role in shaping educational patterns. Ranging through South and East Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, the book also considers how the impact of modern forces, such as industrialization and nationalism, have transformed education in fundamental ways. Throughout the volume, Mark S. Johnson and Peter N. Stearns emphasize the tensions between elite and state educational interests and more diverse popular demands for access and, often, for more innovative pedagogy.Suitable for introductory world history and history of education courses, this lively overview reconsiders the history of education from the perspective of world and comparative history.
