Forestry higher education has been offered since 1857. This study investigates the alterations made in the tertiary forestry institution names in Turkey under three periods: (1) between the years 1857 and 1934, (2) between the years 1945 and 1948, and (3) between the years 2006 and 2018. The Faculty of Forestry was under the Ministry of Mining during the first period, which later became a unit under the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1934, during the Republican period, it became a subdivision of Ankara Yuksek Ziraat Enstitusu (Ankara Institute of Advanced Agriculture, YZE). All those changes in this period improved the reputation of the institution and the occupation. In the second period, tertiary-level forestry education was separated from YZE and incorporated into Istanbul University. The faculty members and the councils of the Faculty of Forestry were directly involved in the decision-making processes required by this change. However, the third period is marked by regulations that were made without involving any forestry education institutions and professionals. Due to the lack of a clear higher education policy, the names of institutions have not been preserved and the formation of an academic tradition in the forestry institutions has been delayed.

The political changes in 1989/1990 affected all of East German society, including in particular the country's ethnic Sorbs. Sorbian institutions that had enjoyed a relatively regular influx of financial resources in the GDR now found themselves in an uncertain situation. The new democratic and liberal society did not guarantee Sorbs their previous certainties in the fields of science, education, culture, and other areas. This article looks at selected institutions to provide an idea of how the transformation process took place. One educational institution that did not survive the collapse of the GDR is the Zentrale sorbische Sprachschule Milkel (Sorb.: Centralna serbska rěčna šula w Minakału), which provided language instruction and an overview of Sorbian history and culture for many people who subsequently went on to work for Sorbian institutions. By comparison, one organization that weathered the changes was the Sorbian Institute, although the dissolution of the Akademie der Wissenschaften der DDR necessitated a change in legal form (e.V.). One new institution, whose main task is to distribute financing to the most important Sorbian organizations, is the Foundation for the Sorbian People. Smaller changes affected the Sorbian print media at this time as well.

The aim of the article is to identify the factors that determine the quality of scientific periodicals published in higher education institutions of Lithuania based on formal scientific evaluation criteria. In order to achieve this goal, the following objectives have been identified: analyzing the characteristics of scientific periodicals published in higher education institutions and conducting a study to identify the factors that determine the quality of scientific periodicals based on formal evaluation criteria for scientific periodicals. A quantitative study of Lithuanian higher education institutions scientific periodicals shows that most of the periodicals are published in PDF format and provide open access. A quarter of the scientific periodicals are valued in Web of Science and Scopus databases. It is important to note that the main problems for publishing such scientific periodicals are related to the websites of inadequate quality. The empirical study, based on interviews conducted with eleven Editors in Chief of the scientific periodicals, has disclosed that a publishing house has a fundamental role for the quality of scientific periodicals. The quality of scientific periodicals is influenced by a sufficient numbers of human resources, applicable managerial, technical and promotional solutions. Secondly, the research results reveal that, even though business-related decisions effect the quality of scientific periodicals, an approach to scientific periodicals publishing as a commercial activity is still unacceptable. In conclusion, it should be stated that the main goal of scientific periodicals of Lithuania, based on national and international science evaluation criteria, is to get included in Web of Science and Scopus databases. For this reason, the editors are looking for opportunities to improve the content of the journals as well as make the publications more visible online. Judging by the efforts made by the management and the current number of scientific periodicals in Lithuania, it can be assumed that the number of formally evaluated scientific journals will increase in the future. ; Straipsnyje, remiantis Lietuvos mokslinių periodinių leidinių internetinėmis svetainėmis, "Web of Science" ir "Scopus" duomenų bazių pateikiamais duomenimis, interviu su Lietuvos mokslinių periodinių leidinių vyr. redaktoriais, nagrinėjami Lietuvos aukštojo mokslo institucijų leidžiami moksliniai periodiniai leidiniai. Iš viso tirtas 141 mokslinis periodinis leidinys. 2014 m. duomenimis, penktadalis leidinių įvertinti formaliai – indeksuojami "Web of Science" ir "Scopus" duomenų bazėse. Tokį rezultatą lemia Lietuvos ir užsienio mokslo publikacijų vertinimo politika, skirtingos socialinių, humanitarinių ir tiksliųjų mokslų krypčių formalaus įvertinimo galimybės, skirtingi mokslinių periodinių leidinių leidybos tikslai. Didžioji dalis tirtų leidinių, siekiant didinti matomumą, pateikiami atvirosios prieigos būdu ir referuojami turinio pateikimo duomenų bazėse. 2015 m. autorės vykdytas tyrimas (interviu su mokslinių periodinių leidinių redaktoriais) parodė, kad didelę įtaką mokslinio periodinio leidinio formaliam įvertinimui turi leidinį leidžianti leidykla. Pakankamas žmogiškųjų išteklių kiekis, techniniai sprendimai, leidinio viešinimas turi įtakos leidinio kokybei. Paaiškėjo, kad Lietuvoje vis dar nepriimtinas požiūris į mokslinių periodinių leidinių leidybą kaip į komercinę veiklą. Tačiau rezultatai rodo, kad komerciniai veiklai būdingi vadybiniai sprendimai didina leidinio formalaus įvertinimo galimybes.

The purpose of this article is to provide an analysis of the situation of education and self-education as part of informal learning up to the year 1904 among members of the Lithuanian diaspora in the United States, based on the Lithuanian periodicals published during the period in question, and to evaluate its significance on publishing. The objectives were to explore the efforts of the diaspora to establish their own institutions for the education of children and adults and to analyze the importance of press in promoting education and self-education as well as the significance of education and informal learning on the development of publishing. This is the first attempt to conduct relevant research on the basis of the material at our disposal, collected from the press of the Lithuanian diaspora of that period. Although the situation of education and reading was far from satisfying the needs of the then contemporaries, the literacy rate in the community of Lithuanian emigrants in the USA kept growing (of particular importance was the focus on women's education and reading). Such a situation was predetermined by the pursuit of economic prosperity (initial education and training and the knowledge of English contributed to getting a better job). An increasing concern over the children's welfare resulted in a growing number of schools. Ideological struggle within the diaspora community was also a significant factor. Furthermore, one should not forget curiosity and leisure (perhaps the best indicator is the growing number of emigrants who learned to read inspired by the poor quality of literature at hand).Even though a certain number of institutions for the education of children were established, they were restricted only to one type of schools, namely, parochial elementary schools, and their development was hindered by ideological quarrels, disagreements over the content of teaching and compliance with the requirements of the historic period in question. Due to this, and for other reasons, a large number of emigrants sent their children to American public schools or parish schools of other foreign nationals living in the United States, while the number of Lithuanian schools at that time exerted little influence on the development and output of book publishing. Likewise, it cannot be argued that publishing was directly influenced by the creation of evening schools, the more so that English textbooks were used in them. That being said, it has to be stated that the importance of a part of the publishing output was evaluated according to its appropriateness to reading by those attending the schools in question, initially for learning, and then for self-study purposes. The same applies to some of the books published in Eastern Prussia and imported to the United States.Self-education was of particular importance to publishing, as the press was considered its main source. In addition, expatriate societies, which identified the promotion of education and reading as one of their goals, were at times engaged in publishing activities on their own. However, it has to be said that the situation was significantly influenced by a deepening split within the Lithuanian diaspora from the ideological point of view. Representatives of different trends voiced their own views on self-education and reading (what should be read and what should be forbidden). At the same time, this division encouraged the publication of literature aimed at spreading their own ideas, while at the same time was suitable for self-education and reading. True, the repertoire of literature published and the influence of education and self-study needs on publishing both from the quantitative and qualitative point of view require a separate in-depth study.At the turn of the 20th century, the Lithuanian diaspora could boast quite a significant selection of literature at its disposal and a large number of members who had either basic education or were sufficiently educated. In addition, some embryonic roots in the structure of education and self-education could already be discerned, which grew over time and contributed to the development of publishing. ; Švietimas ir savišvieta yra vienos esminių knygų leidybos plėtros sąlygų. Švietimo, savišvietos, skaitymo temos buvo aktualios įvairiuose JAV lietuvių išeivijos laikraščiuose. Peržiūrėjus beveik 20 įvairios apimties išeivių periodikos leidinių komplektų, galima teigti, kad XIX a. pabaigoje JAV pradėjo formuotis vaikų ir suaugusiųjų švietimo struktūros, atsirado institucijos, rėmusios aukštojo išsilavinimo siekį. Visa tai tiesiogiai ar netiesiogiai siejosi su leidyba. Kartu pradėjo klostytis ir savišvietos tradicijos, nuolat augo spaudos, kaip pagrindinio jos šaltinio, reikšmė, didėjo skaityti išmokusių išeivių skaičius. Taip gausėjo spaudos skaitytojų bei pirkėjų, formavosi leidybos santykis su švietimo įstaigomis. Straipsnyje analizuojami šie ir kiti su tuo susiję klausimai (tuo metu besiformavusių išeivijos politinių dešiniosios ir kairiosios srovių požiūriai į švietimą ir savišvietą, ypač skaitymą). Nagrinėjama, kaip šios politinės srovės išnaudojo švietimą ir savišvietą savo ideologijos plėtrai pasitelkdamos leidybą ir taip plėsdamos jos repertuarą bei kiekybinius rodiklius.

"Literacy histories, even those seeking to incorporate greater diversity in race and gender, have tended to focus on academic institutions. "Circulating Literacy" speaks to, and connects, the topics of rural studies, gender, literacy sponsorship and identity, and professionalization, arguing for value in the study of periodicals as education tools"--

O tempo de circulação (longevidade) e o alcance geográfico (dispersão) constituem dois dentre os aspectos relacionados com a consolidação de um periódico. Por outro lado, os primeiros cinco anos de uma revista podem ser considerados como período probatório para sua sobrevivência. Com base no Catálogo Coletivo Nacional de Publicações Seriadas do Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia, foram identificados 34 periódicos sobre Pesquisa, 42 sobre Ensino e 253 sobre Educação, que têm algum fascículo editado no corrente qüinqüênio. Destes, 73,5%, 31,0% e 36,4%, respectivamente, correspondem a periódicos que têm 5 ou menos anos decorridos desde sua implantação até a edição do fascículo mais recente. Dos que apresentam edições por mais de cinco anos, a mediana de vida é de 11 anos (Pesquisa), 15 anos (Ensino) e 11 anos (Educação). Cerca da metade dos títulos de cada área são encontrados em bibliotecas institucionais de 5 ou mais Estados da Federação, sendo que 5,9% (Pesquisa), 21,4% (Ensino) e 13,4% (Educação) fazem parte do acervo de bibliotecas de 10 ou mais Estados. Como resultado desse trabalho, é apresentado o perfil etário e de dispersão dos periódicos, além de sua identificação pelo título e ISSN, dados que favorecem sua localização em sistemas de busca eletrônica ou física.
