This paper scrutinises the spread and the conditions of social innovation research in Austria in social sciences. Although the empirical results are inconclusive, social innovation is definitely not a marginal topic in social sciences in Austria. More than 80% of the responding social scientists deal with social innovation at different levels of intensity. It also seems that social innovation works well for the overall self-representation of the universities. The construct of social entrepreneurship has probably contributed most to anchoring the notion of social innovation in the higher education sector in Austria, especially in teaching. Although some curricula and courses are more confined to traditional business school topics, some transcend the narrow business focus towards sociological and political approaches. The academic embedding of social innovation in Austria, however, is still hampered by structural factors. Our findings show a lack of both tangible and intangible support measures.

Innovation and research in various fields should be done responsibly. In the last years, there is this responsibility towards different stakeholders. One of the most important stakeholders are the community and the society. In this context, the concept of social responsibility and social innovation has become very widespread. The purpose of this study was scientometric analysis of concepts in the field of responsible innovation and responsible research. R software has been used to achieve this purpose. In this study, by analyzing the information extracted from related articles (572 articles from Web of Science), the new concept of RRI and the network of researchers in this regard have been identified and analyzed. In this study, based on a systematic literature review (SLR) and scientometric methods, the evolution of the concept of “Responsible Research” and “Responsible Innovation” in the literature is investigated. Also, the selected articles identified by the SLR method from different textual dimensions regarding journals, collaboration network, co-citation network, collaboration worldmap, historical direct citation network, and emergence of new concepts are analyzed. The results of this study indicate the development of related concepts in the literature in recent years and indicate the need for further studies in this regard.
各领域的创新和研究要负责任。在过去的几年里，我们对不同的利益相关者负有这种责任。最重要的利益相关者之一是社区和社会。在这种背景下，社会责任和社会创新的概念变得非常普遍。本研究的目的是对负责任创新和负责任研究领域的概念进行科学计量分析。R软件已被用来实现这一目的。本研究通过对Web of Science相关文章(572篇)中提取的信息进行分析，识别并分析了RRI的新概念和这方面的研究者网络。本研究采用系统文献回顾(SLR)和科学计量学方法，考察了“负责任研究”和“负责任创新”概念在文献中的演变。并从期刊、合作网络、共被引网络、合作世界地图、历史直接被引网络、新概念的出现等不同文本维度对SLR方法选取的文章进行了分析。本研究的结果表明了近年来文献中相关概念的发展，并指出了这方面进一步研究的必要性。

Over recent years, various approaches to assessing the impacts of social innovation (SI) have developed without a uniform method having arisen. There are some issues around how impacts can be assessed, connected with the questions on the nature of impacts, the levels of analysis and effects of a purely positivist approach to impact assessment. While attempting to assess such impacts, various SI initiatives face the diversity of challenges. To this end, the aim of the article is to investigate the experience of said initiatives promoting social innovation related to impact assessment of social innovation. The paper is based on an empirical study conducted with the local development associations and local action groups involved in social innovation projects in two rural regions of Austria and Portugal. The results indicate that, despite recognising the importance of impact assessment regarding social innovation activities and the opportunities it provides, local organisations in question face many challenges in assessing the impacts of social innovation, including conceptual and practical difficulties.

The concept of ecosystem has been used to describe a dynamic set of relationships, services and interdependencies that potentiate the creation, renewal and growth of organizations. Social innovation is largely influenced by ecosystem conditions. The Portuguese social innovation ecosystem is a particularly interesting case study, as it assumes a hybrid structure that expresses a variety of policy schemes, networks and support structures. This article debates the concept of social innovation ecosystem and presents an exploratory approach to its mapping. Based on interviews with strategic stakeholders in the social and solidarity economy and social enterprises, the study elaborates on the specificities of the social innovation ecosystem. The Portuguese ecosystem is comprised of three sub-ecosystems that show different weights, limited connections and overlapping: social economy, social business, and the social solidarity ecosystem. The article concludes with an overview of the current state of social innovation, emphasizing the perspectives of stakeholders on recent experiences that the Portuguese state has developed in establishing dialogue within organizations integrating social innovation dynamics.

La globalización y sus condiciones de desarrollo han puesto encima de la mesa una nueva agenda política caracterizada por la necesidad de abordar desafiantes retos sociales. Asimismo, la crisis de la democracia liberal ha evidenciado la necesidad de nuevos modelos para la gestión del espacio público y de las políticas públicas. Este artículo aborda el concepto de la Gobernanza Colaborativa como un mecanismo para estimular los procesos colectivos de deliberación a través del establecimiento de decisiones formales orientadas al consenso para identificar prioridades y generar líneas de actuación en los territorios. En este marco, el artículo presenta la experiencia práctica de Gobernanza Colaborativa “Etorkizuna Eraikiz”, programa diseñado e implementado por la Diputación Foral de Gipuzkoa, explicitando los elementos estructurales que componen el programa y analizando el funcionamiento del modelo en el que se enmarca.
全球化及其发展条件提出了一项新的政治议程，其特点是需要应对具有挑战性的社会挑战。此外，自由民主的危机表明，需要新的公共空间和公共政策管理模式。本文讨论了协作治理的概念，作为一种机制，通过建立面向共识的正式决策来刺激集体审议过程，以确定优先事项和在领土上产生行动路线。在此背景下，本文介绍了协作治理“Etorkizuna Eraikiz”的实践经验，这是一个由diputacion Foral de Gipuzkoa设计和实施的项目，解释了组成该项目的结构元素，并分析了其框架中的模型的功能。

The COVID-19 pandemic had a strong impact on Portuguese society and raised the need for new technological projects to help frontline professionals in the fight against coronavirus and its effects on the local population and economic agents. It is in this context that the Tech4Covid19 movement was founded by Portuguese technological startups. This initiative brings together more than 5000 volunteers and offers technological solutions in the areas of health, education, and local economy. This study aims to understand and explore the organizational model and dynamics of Tech4Covid19 through the adoption of qualitative methods based on primary and secondary sources that have allowed the movement to be explored from multiple perspectives. The findings reveal that Tech4Covid internally promotes the development of its own projects, but also accepts projects proposed by external entities that are aligned with the principles and values of the movement. The organization of the movement is supported by autonomous self-managed teams regarding each project, and there is a coordination group responsible for the aggregate management of the various initiatives and for establishing communication with partners, the media, and social networks.

La histórica división y jerarquización de los distintos saberes se ha trasladado también al periodismo científico, que ha primado habitualmente ciertas áreas como la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería o las matemáticas (CTIM). En este contexto, el objetivo de este estudio ha consistido en analizar la presencia de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades en los medios online, partiendo de la idea de que, dadas sus características, los cibermedios son herramientas idóneas para el periodismo científico y se prestan a incluir nuevos temas. Mediante el análisis de contenido, se han estudiado 208 informaciones sobre ciencia publicadas en El País (España), Público (Portugal) y The Guardian (Reino Unido). Los resultados indican que la presencia de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades es menor que la de las ciencias duras y asciende a una de cada tres informaciones analizadas, siendo la historia y la economía los temas más presentes. Los datos también indican que las noticias sobre las ciencias sociales y las humanidades tienden a utilizarse en mayor medida como fuentes de autoridad, con una presencia más dispersa en diferentes secciones del medio, frente a un mayor valor noticioso de los resultados de las investigaciones en las áreas de la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería o las matemáticas, que tienden a aparecer con mayor frecuencia en la sección específica de cada medio. Por todo ello, el protagonismo de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades tiende a quedar diluido en las páginas de los medios de comunicación frente al resto de las disciplinas científicas.

The emergence of social media altered the relation between journalism and the public in digital media and bequeathed the relationship a more active and collaborative role. As such, the general objective of this research is to characterise the dialogue between digital journalists and their audiences through social media and to describe how they perceive the consequences of this relationship. To this end, a survey was conducted with 73 digital journalists. The results display an ambivalent attitude on the part of the professionals regarding the use of social media as a tool for dialogue with their audiences. On one hand, they believe that using them is a priority need to maintain a fluid relationship with readers, although they mainly lean toward a majority one-way and limited use of them and believe that media managers have mainly perceived participation as a channel to garner audience loyalty and increase audiences.

El periodismo de datos moderno nace en 2008 con la confluencia de tres factores fundamentales: los renovados formatos de la Web, con HTML5 y CSS3 a la cabeza, la abundancia de software libre disponible para cada una de las etapas del proceso de investigación con datos y la apertura de portales de datos abiertos de los gobiernos. Para los periodistas uno de los retos fundamentales de este cambio tecnológico ha sido encontrar la formación adecuada. Existen diversas experiencias y enfoques en la educación periodística con datos; en este artículo se examina la docencia del periodismo de datos en España a través del análisis de las propuestas docentes en siete másteres impartidos por universidades españolas.

In 2020, in the midst of the first wave of the pandemic, the Spanish Government approved the implementation of the Minimum Living Income, a non-contributory benefit under the Spanish social security system that guarantees a minimum income for those in need of one. Drawing on previous work of Stefania Vicari et al. (2018) about the use of political hashtag publics and counter-visuality on the Italian Twittersphere, we analysed patterns of communication among users on Twitter. Thus, this paper contributes to existing research on the deliberative process within the digital sphere, with a particular focus on power structures and communication patterns. Findings show that digital-born media, politicians and political parties play a central role in the discussion through mention and quoted tweets practices, but not in the production of new messages, while ordinary users are more likely to be retweeted. This would suggest a tendency towards retransmitting and disseminating content produced by ordinary users more than official sources.
