Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite contributions to a Special Issue that will cover various aspects of SSH (Social Sciences and Humanities) research enhanced by modern information and communication technologies (ICT). ICT tools for SSH researchers already exist, such as research-oriented social networking sites and tools to support scientific research, to manage labs and data, and to enable better communication. These tools could change the way SSH researchers carry out research, collaborate, disseminate, and evaluate research outputs. This Special Issue should include papers dealing with ICT-based methodologies and algorithms for SSH research, digital infrastructures, and tools for doing research, writing, reviewing, publishing, and assessing research, FAIR principles, open science paradigms, data/publication/software source code repositories, electronic laboratory notebooks, CRIS systems, and publications and citations databases.

Papers describing original work in any of the four areas listed below are invited:

  1. Tools, algorithms, and techniques for conducting SSH research
  2. Tools and platforms for cataloging and preservation of research outputs
  3. Tools, guidelines, and paradigms for modern scholarly communication and scientific collaboration
  4. ICT enhanced management, monitoring, and assessment of SSH institutions, researchers, and research outputs

This Special Issue will contain extended versions of selected papers presented at the ICTeSSH 2021 Conference (https://ictessh.uns.ac.rs/) held as an online three-day event on June 28-30 2021.

Prof. Dr. Dragan Ivanovic
Guest Editor

The world is now strengthening its Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capabilities to secure economic growth and national competitiveness. The role of ICT is important for problems like COVID-19. ICT based innovation is effective in responding to problems for industry, economy, and society. However, we need to understand, not from the perspective of performance or investment, that the use and performance of ICT technology are promoted when each country’s ICT related environment, policies, governance, and regulations are effective. We need to share sustainable ICT experiences, successes, and challenges to solve complex problems and reorganize policies. This study proposes a Text Mining methodology from a future-oriented perspective to extract semantic system patterns from International Telecommunication Union (ITU) professional reports. In the text extracted from the report, we found a new relationship pattern and a potential topic. The research results provide insights into a diverse perspective for policymakers to search for successful ICT strategies. Full article

The ROSSIO Infrastructure is developing a free and open-access platform for aggregating, organising, and connecting the digital resources in the Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities provided by Portuguese higher education and cultural institutions. This paper presents an overview of the ROSSIO Infrastructure, its main objectives, the institutions involved, and the services offered by the infrastructure’s aims through its platform—namely, a discovery portal, digital exhibitions, collections, and a virtual research environment. These services rely on a metadata-aggregation solution for bringing the digital objects’ metadata from the providing institutions into ROSSIO. The aggregated datasets are converted into linked data and undergo an enrichment process based on controlled vocabularies, which are developed and published by ROSSIO. The paper will describe this process, the applications involved, and how they interoperate. We will further reflect on how these services may enhance the dissemination of science, considering the FAIR principles. Full article
