However, these syntheses combine studies of a variety of different feedback approaches, combine studies where feedback is one of…

This study analyzed whether research collaboration patterns differ across higher education systems based on maturity of the systems, their language, and their geographical region. This study found that collaboration patterns differ across higher education systems: academics in developed systems are more collaborative than their colleagues in…

This paper deals with the role of researchers in the development of language policies for European minority languages.
