For students, studying abroad has its advantages but might also have unwanted adverse effects, such as social isolation and loneliness. We comparatively analyse the role of emotional support in understanding loneliness among Chinese international students and local students in Germany from a gender perspective. Based on a unique sample, our findings suggest that Chinese international students experience higher levels of loneliness than local students. Female Chinese international students are less lonely compared to male ones, whereas the opposite is true for local students. Surprisingly, having a higher number of emotionally supportive ties is associated with higher levels of loneliness for all students. Our subgroup analysis further revealed that the relationship between emotional support and loneliness varies by gender and student status. Female local students benefit from having more emotionally supportive ties, while the opposite is true for female Chinese international students. We recommend conducting a longitudinal study for examining the causality of the relationship between networks and loneliness in the future. Our findings have implications for universities and higher education research in addressing loneliness among students.

ABSTRACT This is the introduction to a Special Issue which addresses the rationales for and practices of the internationalisation of higher education and research in Europe and Eurasia. The contributors look at a variety of activities within internationalisation, such as collaborative degree/joint programmes, student and staff mobility, and research collaborations. In particular, the articles examine how and why rationales, or motivations and goals for internationalisation, vary or coincide at different levels, for example at the supranational (e.g. regional), national, institutional, programme and individual level. This Special Issue pays a special attention to the political environment in which the internationalisation takes place, and how the given environment – e.g. formal political institutions, or policies – encourages, enables or prevents the internationalisation of higher education and research. The contributors focus on internal university stakeholders relevant to the internationalisation, relations between different internal stakeholders and/or their interplay with key external stakeholders.

Peer review has several known limitations, but it is still an important and central institution in modern science (Seeber 2022): findings that have not faced the test of peer review are seen as unreliable, while works that have passed the scrutiny of peer review assume a sort ‘truth’ status (Baldwin 2018). Peer review is therefore adopted by academic outlets as the legitimate way to select scientific contributions (Lamont 2009), and to guarantee the quality of the research published and the credibility of scientific claims (Warren 2003; Bornmann 2008; Kalleberg 2012). It is commonly assumed that the establishment of peer review occurred with the first example of peer review, in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1665 (National Academy of Science 1995). However, despite a common belief that peer review has always been a central, immutable institution of modern science, the institutionalization of peer review is a much more recent phenomenon (Fyfe et al. 2020). Only in the second half of the twentieth century, did editors begin to rely systematically on external referees to cope with the increasing size and specialization of scientific production (Burnham 1990; Baldwin 2018). Over time, peer review adopted different forms to respond to priorities and necessities of the scientific community. For instance, peer review was initially single blind, meaning that the authors do not know the identity of the reviewers, while reviewers know the identity of the authors. In the 70s, sociology journals started to adopt a double-blind peer review, whereby authors and reviewers do not know each other’s identity. This choice was driven by the universalism norm of Science (Merton 1973), which prescribes that scientific claims should be subjected to the same ‘pre-established impersonal criteria’, regardless of their source and not affected by the reputation and prestige of its authors or their institutions of affiliation. In computer science, the prime channel of communication is conferences, rather than journals, and reviewers are not selected by an editor: instead, conference chair members act as reviewers and choose which paper they wish to review (Seeber and Bacchelli 2017).
同行评议有几个已知的局限性，但它仍然是现代科学中的一个重要和核心制度(Seeber 2022):没有经过同行评议检验的发现被认为是不可靠的，而通过同行评议审查的作品则具有某种“真理”地位(Baldwin 2018)。因此，同行评议被学术机构作为选择科学贡献的合法方式(Lamont 2009)，并保证已发表研究的质量和科学主张的可信度(Warren 2003;Bornmann 2008;Kalleberg 2012)。人们通常认为，同行评议的建立始于1665年的《皇家学会哲学汇刊》(美国国家科学院1995年)，这是同行评议的第一个例子。然而，尽管人们普遍认为同行评议一直是现代科学的核心、不可改变的制度，但同行评议的制度化是最近才出现的现象(Fyfe et al. 2020)。直到20世纪下半叶，编辑才开始系统地依靠外部审稿人来应对科学生产规模和专业化的不断增长(Burnham 1990;鲍德温2018)。随着时间的推移，同行评议采用了不同的形式来回应科学界的优先事项和需要。例如，同行评审最初是单盲的，这意味着作者不知道审稿人的身份，而审稿人知道作者的身份。20世纪70年代，社会学期刊开始采用双盲同行评议，即作者和评议人不知道彼此的身份。这种选择是由科学的普遍主义规范(Merton 1973)推动的，它规定科学主张应该服从相同的“预先建立的非个人标准”，无论其来源如何，也不受其作者或其所属机构的声誉和声望的影响。在计算机科学领域，主要的沟通渠道是会议，而不是期刊，审稿人不是由编辑选择的:相反，会议主席成员作为审稿人，选择他们希望审查的论文(Seeber and Bacchelli 2017)。
