We study the potential impact of introducing performance-based funding systems (PBFS) on national research systems, using information on the number of publications and their scientific impact (citations or publications in top-ranked journals) for 31 countries over the period 1996-2016. The analysis is performed both at the aggregate level and…

This article uses the Sankofa principle of going back and getting that which can enable a community to imagine new possibilities. In this article, four waves of current research in race and ethnicity in higher education are offered, as well as some lessons learned from them. These considerations provide the backdrop for imagining how a fifth wave…
