Abstract

ORIG CZ

In the original language

English is increasingly the dominant language of academic scholarship. This means that much research produced in other languages is overlooked, a tendency strengthened by the growing power of global publishers and university ranking systems. This initial scoping study provides an exploratory review of non-English scholarship in the field of event management, drawing on an extensive literature search in Arabic, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Slovenian and Spanish. We find a considerable number of event management publications in these languages, which effectively represent a ‘missing body of knowledge’ for scholars working in English. Only about 10% of these non-English sources are covered by Scopus, for example. Our scoping study indicates that this excludes many scholars and potentially interesting areas of work from the global event management corpus. We suggest several strategies which could be employed to address these issues.

In Czech

Angličtina je stále více dominantním jazykem akademické vědy. To znamená, že mnoho výzkumů v jiných jazycích je přehlíženo, což je tendence posilovaná rostoucí mocí globálních vydavatelů a univerzitních hodnotících systémů. Tato úvodní studie poskytuje průzkumný přehled neanglických vědeckých prací v oblasti event managementu, přičemž vychází z rozsáhlé rešerše literatury v arabštině, chorvatštině, češtině, nizozemštině, italštině, portugalštině, slovinštině a španělštině. Zjistili jsme, že v těchto jazycích existuje značné množství publikací o event managementu, které ve skutečnosti představují "chybějící soubor znalostí" pro vědce pracující v angličtině. Pouze asi 10 % těchto neanglických zdrojů je pokryto například v databázi Scopus. Naše studie rozsahu ukazuje, že tím je z globálního korpusu managementu událostí vyloučeno mnoho vědců a potenciálně zajímavých oblastí práce. Navrhujeme několik strategií, které by mohly být použity k řešení těchto problémů.
