#Research_spending is one of the clearest signs of how seriously a country treats #science, #innovation, and #higher_education. China’s rapid growth in research and development investment shows a long-term national effort to move from basic production toward stronger #knowledge_production, advanced technology, and global scientific influence. In 2024, China reported national research and experimental development expenditure of 3,632.68 billion yuan, an increase of 8.9 percent

This article presents an academic reflection on the participation of the Stulib team in the AIDIAR 2026 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Digital Innovation, and Applied Research, hosted by U7Y Journal – The Seven Continents Yearbook of Research, ISSN 3042-4399, and held on 2nd–3rd May 2026. The article focuses only on the role of the Stulib team as participants in the conference and examines the academic value of such participation for knowledge exchange,

Quality assurance has become one of the central themes in modern higher and professional education. As education systems become more international, institutions are expected not only to teach students, but also to show that their programs, internal systems, learning outcomes, and institutional processes are organized according to clear standards. From an academic perspective, the European Council of Leading Business Schools, commonly known as ECLBS, can be studied as part of

Abstract The “firehose of falsehood” is a useful academic concept for understanding modern propaganda in the digital age. Unlike older forms of propaganda, which often relied on one clear message repeated many times, the firehose model depends on speed, volume, repetition, and inconsistency. It sends many claims into public space at the same time, even when these claims contradict each other. The aim is not always to persuade people that one specific story is true. Instead, i

Abstract This article examines Legacy of Ashes as a useful text for understanding institutional learning, organizational performance, strategic uncertainty, and decision-making under pressure. Although the book is mainly known as a historical study of intelligence activity, its wider academic value lies in what it shows about institutions. Organizations are not only measured by their formal authority, resources, or public image. They are also judged by their ability to gather

The ability to choose reliable academic sources is now one of the most important skills in higher education. In earlier periods, the main challenge for students was finding enough material. Today, the challenge is different. Researchers face an information environment shaped by digital abundance, platform ranking systems, predatory journals, weak editorial standards, AI-generated summaries, algorithmic recommendation systems, and the rapid circulation of unverified claims. Th

Economics students now study in an environment where access to knowledge is abundant but unevenly structured. The old problem of scarcity has not disappeared, but it has been joined by a new problem: overabundance. Students must decide which journals are worth reading, which databases are reliable, how citation networks shape what becomes “important,” and how search tools, including AI-assisted systems, influence what is visible and what remains hidden. This article examines

Economics students today study in an environment shaped not only by textbooks and lectures, but also by databases, citation systems, journal hierarchies, and digital research platforms. Access to knowledge has become structured through institutional filters that affect what students read, how they define quality, and which academic habits they develop. This article examines the role of major journals and databases in economics education and argues that research literacy is no

Author: D. Hart Affiliation: Independent Researcher Abstract Although the global economy has changed dramatically since the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, many of today’s public debates still rely on ideas developed by classical and early modern economic thinkers. Discussions about free markets, state intervention, labor exploitation, comparative advantage, innovation, inequality, and crisis are often framed through concepts associated with Adam Smit
