Researchers' notions of research quality depend on their field of research. Previous studies have shown that field-specific assessment criteria exist but could explain neither why these specific criteria and not others exist, nor how criteria are used in specific assessment situations. To give initial answers to these questions, formal assessment…

The conversation on the effectiveness of blended learning experience in Algerian higher education has not received the necessary attention compared to developed countries.

Furthermore, disciplinary literacy has gained traction over the last 20 years as an essential way to develop literacy skills across content areas. However, most disciplinary literacy studies focus on the academic subjects of English, history, science, and…
