‘Science Is Universal-It Knows No Borders
Fuad Aleskerov, Tenured Professor and Director of the International Centre of Decision Choice and Analysis at HSE University, together with his colleagues, has developed methods of network analysis in bibliometrics that have made it possible to identify patterns in the appearance and citation of publications in academic journals, as well as their influence on each other. When one or a number of studies are frequently cited by a wide range of journals, this is an indicator that the research is of high quality. By contrast, extensive cross-citation within a limited group of journals increases the likelihood of identifying a network of predatory publications.

Tolstoy digital: Mining biographical data in literary heritage editions

P. 48–52.
Bonch-Osmolovskaya A. A., Kolbasov M.

This paper presents a solution for mining the biographical information from commentaries on Leo Tolstoy's letters. It is implemented as a part of Tolstoy Digital Project - a semantically marked-up web publication of the 90-volume complete collection of Leo Tolstoy's works. Extraction of relevant biographical information will be used to create an open database for all the persons who were somehow connected with Tolstoy or Tolstoy's works. The paper also accounts for various subtleties of the commentary apparatus and pays special attention to specific difficulties of biographical information extraction, such as the problem of defining the boundaries of expressions denoting profession, or the problem of non-standardized syntactic constructions for kinship relations.

Transmedia strategies in school literary education: deconstructing kitsch and the semiotics of readerly creativity
Arkhangelsky A. N., Novikova A., Chinese Semiotic Studies 2023 Vol. 19 No. 2 P. 315–332
We consider the substitution of living classical texts with their simulacra, kitschy interpretations, to be one of the most important issues in literary education in schools. Traditional teaching methods and textbooks reproduce a set of pedagogical clichés. This leads to a loss of the skill of reading. As a result, the student gains a set ...
