Summary: Co-authored research articles in the field of higher education have increased significantly in the past two decades. However, this growth has not led to a more diverse network, as existing co-authorship patterns dominated by scholars from a few Anglophone countries have been strengthened. China and Germany are emerging as increasingly influential research-producing countries in this field.

Summary: Through the Go-Lab platform's inquiry-learning space (ILS), we investigated students' technology acceptance, knowledge integration (KI) process, and learning outcomes. The study revealed that students responded positively to the usefulness of the platform, high-achiever KI students constructed complex and diverse links among genetic ideas while low-achiever KI students only built simple links. However, the learning outcomes were similar for both high-achiever and low-achiever KI students.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review of contemporary digital reading research, using co-citation network analysis and content analysis to identify key topics, trends, and features. The study identified three mainstreams of digital reading research, namely differences between print books and e-books in reading comprehension, adolescents' habits and preferences in digital reading and their digital reading literacy, and analysis of reading behaviors and use of interactive learning books. Most studies employed quantitative or mixed methods, focusing on evaluation through tests and questionnaires, and did not explore specific application domains or learning strategies. Affective aspects, cognition, learning behavior, and causation were the main focuses of research on digital reading. Key research topics in digital reading included engagement, digital media, and digital literacy. The study provides directions for future research and digital reading education.

Summary: This study aims to characterize students' inquiry skill profiles and investigate the relationship between students' demographic factors and their inquiry skill profiles. The findings indicate that students can be classified into four types of inquiry skill profiles based on their skills in data analytics, scientific reasoning, and control of variables. School location has a significant impact on students' inquiry profiles, while school type, student major, and household registration have a mildly favorable impact. Recognizing these varied inquiry skill profiles and addressing the disparities stemming from demographic differences are crucial for a more equitable science education environment.

Summary: Scientific modeling is a core practice in science education, and spatial visualization is correlated with students' performance in scientific modeling. This study found that spatial visualization has an impact on students' scientific modeling, particularly for 4th grade students. Specifically, spatial visualization predicts model revision in 4th grade and is significant for model evaluation in 7th grade. However, gender does not have an effect on the relationship between spatial visualization and scientific modeling.
