摘要
This study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of four dimensions (editors, editorial board members, authors, and geographical focus of research) of the internationalization of 45 major public administration journals and examines whether and how one dimension is related to the others. We find that Anglo-American dominance is significant and persistent across all four dimensions in most public administration journals during 2011–2020, with the dimension of editors being the most pronounced, followed by the dimension of editorial board members, the authors' dimension, and the dimension of geographical focus of research. There are notable differences between journals. Further analyses show that the Anglo-American dominance in editors has a self-perpetuating tendency and is likely to lead to the Anglo-American dominance in editorial board members, which is further significantly and positively associated with the Anglo-American dominance in authors and the Anglo-American dominance in geographical foci of research in public administration journals.
研究内容
研究背景
在近几十年中，人们反复呼吁公共行政研究的全球化，以通过克服美国中心主义的狭隘性，倡导更加多样化、包容性和国际化的公共行政研究和知识生产来应对全球性的重大挑战。作为公共行政领域知识传播的主要守门人和主要载体，主要国际公共行政期刊在塑造研究格局和推动公共行政研究全球化方面发挥着至关重要的作用。学者们指出，将“国际性”纳入公共行政期刊以实现公共行政研究的全球化是势在必行的。
In recent decades, there have been repeated calls for the globalization of public administration research to address critical global challenges by overcoming the US-centric parochialism and advocating for a more diverse, inclusive, and international approach to public administration research and knowledge production.
As the primary gatekeepers and main vehicles of knowledge dissemination in the field of public administration, major international public administration journals play an essential role in shaping the research landscape and advancing the globalization of public administration research. Scholars have pointed out that it is imperative to "put the international" in public administration journals in order to globalize public administration research.
研究问题
主要国际公共行政期刊的国际化程度如何？在2011年至2020年之间的最近十年里是否有显著变化？这些期刊中盎格鲁国家的主导地位是否持续存在？
如果是这样，这种持续存在的盎格鲁国家主导地位背后的可能机制是什么？
How international are the major international public administration journals? Have there been notable changes in the last decade between 2011 and 2020? Is the Anglo American dominance in these journals persistent?
If so, what are the possible underlying mechanisms behind this persistent Anglo American dominance?
研究假设
H1. There is a significant association between the country circles of the affiliations of current editors and former editors, and the editorships of journals with Anglo-American editors are more likely to be succeeded by Anglo-American scholars.
H2. There is a significant association between the country circles of the affiliations of editors and their editorial board members, and journals with Anglo American editors have a higher proportion of Anglo-American scholars on the editorial boards than journals with non-Anglo American editors.
H3. There is a significant association between Anglo-American dominance in editorial board members and Anglo-American dominance in authors. Journals with a higher proportion of Anglo-American editorial board members tend to have a higher proportion of publications by Anglo-American authors.
H4. There is a significant association between the Anglo-American dominance in editorial board members and the Anglo-American dominance in geographical foci of research. Journals with higher proportions of editorial board members affiliated with institutions in Anglo-American countries tend to have higher proportions of papers that focus on Anglo-American countries.
H5. The effect of Anglo-American dominance in editorial board members on Anglo-American dominance in geographical foci of research is partially mediated by Anglo-American dominance in authors.
数据
本研究基于2020年Clarivate期刊引文报告（JCR）选择期刊。从列表中，作者选择了42本英文SSCI期刊和3本期刊引文指标大于0.5的ESCI期刊。每本期刊的编辑和编辑委员会成员所属机构与国家的数据从期刊主页或印刷版本的刊头收集。通过搜索Web of Science数据库，收集了2011年至2020年间在这些期刊上发表的所有文章的标题、作者信息和摘要。这些文章的地理重点，即研究区域的国家，通过阅读标题和摘要确定。如果文章的标题和摘要未提供足够的地理重点信息，则阅读全文。未包含实证数据或关注不同大陆多个区域的文章被排除在分析之外。
This study selects journals based on the 2020 Clarivate Journal Citation Report (JCR). From the list, we select 42 English SSCI journals and 3 ESCI journals with a Journal Citation Indicator greater than 0.5.
Data on the countries of institutional affiliations of editors and editorial board members for each journal were collected from the journal home pages or the mastheads of print versions. The titles, author information, and abstracts of all articles published during 2011-2020 in these journals were collected by searching the Web of Science database. The geographical foci of articles, namely the countries of the study areas in these articles, were determined by reading the titles and abstracts. In cases where the title and abstract of an article did not provide sufficient information on the geographical focus, the entire article was read. Articles that did not include empirical data or focused on multiple regions across different continents were excluded from the analysis.
研究方法
为了回答第一个研究问题，本研究使用了四个指标来分别衡量期刊编辑、编辑委员会成员、作者和研究地理重点中的盎格鲁国家主导程度。期刊中编辑的盎格鲁国家主导程度通过计算盎格鲁国家编辑占期刊总编辑数的比例来衡量。同样，编辑委员会成员中盎格鲁国家主导程度通过计算盎格鲁国家编辑委员会成员占总编辑委员会成员的比例来衡量。论文作者的盎格鲁国家主导程度通过计算第一作者所属机构位于盎格鲁国家的论文占期刊发表总论文数的比例来衡量。研究地理重点中的盎格鲁国家主导程度通过计算研究集中在盎格鲁国家的论文占期刊发表总论文数的比例来衡量。如果编辑、编辑委员会成员和作者所属的机构位于盎格鲁国家，本研究将他们定义为盎格鲁国家学者，。
为了回答第二个研究问题，本研究建立了两个数据集来检验假设。为了检查现任编辑和前任编辑所属国家圈之间是否存在关联（H1），本研究创建了一个层次数据集，包含每次编辑更换时现任编辑和前任编辑所属国家的数据。由于数据的层次结构，使用多层次混合效应逻辑回归模型，在期刊层次上采用随机截距来测试H1。对于H2-H5，作者创建了一个期刊与年份的面板数据集，并使用了随机效应模型。此外，作者使用了中介分析来检验作者中的盎格鲁国家主导地位在编辑委员会成员中的盎格鲁国家主导地位与研究地理重点中的盎格鲁国家主导地位之间的关系中的中介作用。
To answer the first research question, this study used four metrics to measure the degree of Anglo-American dominance in editors, editorial board members, authors, and geographical foci of research, respectively. The degree of the Anglo-American dominance in editors for a journal is measured by calculating the proportion of Anglo-American editors to the total number of editors for the journal. Similarly, the proportion of Anglo-American editorial board members to the total number of editorial board members of a journal measures the degree of Anglo-American dominance in editorial board members for the journal. The proportion of papers whose lead authors were affiliated with institutions in Anglo-American countries to the total number of paper published in a journal measures the degree of Anglo-American dominance in authors for the journal. The degree of Anglo-American dominance in geographical foci of research is measured using the proportion of papers focusing on Anglo-American countries to the total number of paper published in the journal. This study defines an editor, an editorial board member, and an author as Anglo-American scholars if their affiliated institutions are located in Anglo-American countries.
For the second research question, this study established two datasets to test the hypotheses. In order to examine whether there is an association between the country circles of the affiliations of current editors and former editors (H1), this study created a hierarchical dataset containing data on the countries of the affiliations of current editors and former editors at each change of editorship for each journal. A multilevel mixed effects logistic regression with random intercepts at the journal level is used to test H1 due to the hierarchical structure of the data. For H2-H5, we created a journal year panel dataset, and used random effects models. In addition, we used a mediation analysis to examine the mediating role of Anglo-American dominance in authors in the relationship between Anglo-American dominance in editorial board members and Anglo-American dominance in geographical foci of research.
