Endorsements

"PSU Research Review offers a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to a wide array of disciplines ranging from computer science to the humanities. Its works are theoretically informed and empirically rich. Given how narrowly specialized research publications tend to be, it affords a unique opportunity for scientists and intellectuals to engage in cross-fertilization, exposing one another to topics and ideas that may otherwise remain invisible to all but a small group of fellow believers. Such cross-pollination is essential to understanding the complexity of the world. Moreover, as most research originates in the world’s industrialized countries, PSU Research Review testifies to the wealth of knowledge emanating from the developing world."

– Professor Barney Warf, University of Kansas, USA (Editor-in-Chief, Growth and Change)
