Viele politische Stakeholder haben sich in der jüngeren Vergangenheit zum Thema Wissenschaftskommunikation positioniert und sprechen sich dabei häufig für eine Ausweitung und Professionalisierung dieses Bereichs aus. Besonders Wissenschaftler*innen in der Qualifizierungsphase werden als wichtige Akteur*innen für diesen Wandel betrachtet, jedoch ohne dass bislang viel darüber bekannt ist, welche Formate und Kanäle Early-Career-Researchers für die Wissenschaftskommunikation aktuell nutzen und was sie motiviert oder auch davon abhält, ihre Forschung einem Lai*innenpublikum zu vermitteln. Der Beitrag stellt die zentralen Ergebnisse einer Studie vor, die diese Themen anhand von Befragungsdaten der Nacaps-Studie untersucht.

Integrating research on school-to-work transitions, international migration, and social inequality, this article investigates the social stratification of international school-to-work transitions and their payoff. Existing research shows that spatial mobility can amplify social inequalities both through social selectivity in access to mobility and through heterogeneity in its labor market outcomes. Building on these findings, we investigate the social selectivity of international school-to-work transitions (ISWT) and the wage difference between ISWT and national school-to-work transitions (NSWT) among graduates from higher education institutions in Germany.

Recently, an increasing number of students from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds (SRABs) entering universities in settlement countries such as Australia and Germany have necessitated the establishment of a variety of supports. However, to date, little attention has been paid to the organisational conditions surrounding such supports. This study thus examined these conditions through the conceptual lens of organisational memory loss. Based on the two illustrative cases of Australia and Germany, it was described how building durable and responsive supports for SRABs is undermined by structural, ideological, and temporal imperatives that erode the possibilities for a sharable organisational memory.

Studierende mit Beeinträchtigung stehen im Studium oft vor besonderen Herausforderungen. Im Zuge der Corona-Pandemie haben sich ihre Studienbedingungen nochmals erschwert. Welche Auswirkungen hatte das auf das Abbruchrisiko dieser Studierendengruppe?

Since the 2000s, the digitization of bibliometric infrastructure has accelerated at a rapid pace. In this article, we analyse how these developments in evaluative bibliometrics have contributed to an extension of indicator-based research evaluation towards data-driven research analytics. Drawing on empirical material from blogs and websites as well as from research and policy papers, we discuss how interoperability, scalability, and flexibility as material specificities of digital infrastructures generate new ways of data production and their assessment, which affect the possibilities of how academic performance can be understood and (e)valuated.
