Journal naming architecture is associated with venue inflation in institutional press releases

This study demonstrates that institutional press releases are significantly more likely to inaccurately inflate a paper's venue by citing a prestigious flagship journal when the actual publication appears in a sister journal that lacks the flagship brand in its title, suggesting that journal naming architecture drives this misrepresentation rather than individual error.

Beyond Clicks: Identifying an Engagement-Performance Paradox in Vocational College Online Learning Through Behavioral Profiling

This study of vocational college students reveals an engagement-performance paradox where high platform activity does not guarantee learning success, as "Surface Engagers" logged extensive clicks yet achieved the lowest exam scores, while "Strategic Learners" attained top performance with significantly less interaction, demonstrating that the quality of engagement matters more than the quantity of clicks.
