Sior
The Social Impact Open Repository (SIOR) has become a unique data source at the international level in which researchers can display, quote, and store the social impact of their research results. SIOR arises from the social and political needs to know and connect with scientific projects to assess their social impact, promoting transparency of science and open-access systems. This repository has been designed to allow researchers to link their so…
A review of literature on evaluating the scientific, social and political impact of social sciences and humanities research
Recently, the need to contribute to the evaluation of the scientific, social, and political impact of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) research has become a demand of policy makers and society. The international scientific community has made significant advances that have transformed the impact of evaluation landscape. This article reviews the existing scientific knowledge on evaluation tools and techniques that are applied to assess the scie…

Need to Categorize
This study analyzes the differences between the category structure of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) system (which is one of the widely used library classification systems in Europe) and Wikipedia. In particular, the authors compare the emerging structure of category-links to the structure of classes in the UDC. The authors scrutinize the question of how knowledge maps of the same domain differ when they are created socially (i.e. Wik…
Simulating the Social Processes of Science
Science is the result of a substantially social process. That is, science relies on many inter-personal processes, including: selection and communication of research findings, discussion of method, checking and judgement of others' research, development of norms of scientific behaviour, organisation of the application of specialist skills/tools, and the organisation of each field (e.g. allocation of funding). An isolated individual, however cleve…
Animación de la evolución de la revista Social networks en el tiempo utilizando una extensión din ́mica del escalado multidimensional
The animation of network visualizations poses technical and theoretical challenges. Rather stable patterns are required before the mental map enables a user to make inferences over time. In order to enhance stability, we developed an extension of stress minimization with developments over time. This dynamic layouter is no longer based on linear interpolation between independent static visualizations, but change over time is used as a parameter in…
Evolving debates in online communication
Purpose The aim of this paper is to analyse the structure of evolving debates in online discussion forums to see how science‐related debates evolve over time. Design/methodology/approach A graph‐based approach is applied to analyse the structure of graphs of connected terms in online debates. A number of different graph properties, such as the Densification Power Law (DPL), diameter ( γ ) and effective diameter ( δ ), are used to observe the prop…
Not Another Case Study
This article addresses the need to problematize "cases" in science and technology studies (STS) work, as a middle-range theory issue. The focus is not on any one case study per se, but on why case studies exist and endure in STS. Case studies are part of a specific problematization in the field. We therefore explore relations between motivation for the use of cases (especially ethnographic ones), their constitution, and ways they can be invoked t…
Complex Networks and the Web
The Internet and the Web can be described as huge networks of connected computers, connected Web pages or connected users. The formal structure of these networks is expected to represent patterns of communication and organization, and to influence the nature of communication in these networks. A number of approaches have been developed to study these phenomena. This paper reviews the emergence from theoretical physics of a new specialty in comple…
