Scientific breakthroughs have the potential to revolutionize the course of research and shape the trajectory of scientific knowledge. This study investigates the characteristics of Disruptive Citing Papers (DCP) and Consolidating Citing Papers (CCP) associated with Nobel‐winning scientific breakthroughs, aiming to provide insights into the mechanisms of knowledge creation and dissemination. By analyzing a dataset of Nobel‐winning papers and their citation networks, we find that Nobel‐winning papers tend to attract a higher proportion of DCP compared to CCP. However, CCP exhibit a higher impact, as evidenced by their citation counts and likelihood of becoming hit papers. Furthermore, DCP are associated with larger research teams, highlighting the collaborative nature of disruptive research, while CCP employ a higher degree of professional language style characterized by shorter titles and specialized jargon. These findings deepen our understanding of the role played by disruptive and consolidating impact in scientific breakthroughs, shedding light on the dynamics of knowledge creation and dissemination in the scientific community. This research contributes to the broader understanding of scientific progress and provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders in the scientific ecosystem.

New media platforms have enhanced the efficiency and diversity of information dissemination, providing new possibilities for the dissemination and promotion of academic papers. Currently, a large number of Chinese academic journals from different disciplines have established WeChat official accounts to promote their papers. This study examines WeChat official accounts from three disciplines: social sciences, natural sciences, and medicine. We analyze the existing paper promotion methods employed by these academic journal official accounts from four dimensions: content presentation format, number of papers promoted in a single post, interactive forms, and publishing time. The findings reveal that the current promotion methods for academic papers on WeChat official accounts are relatively limited, with low utilization of multimedia content. Therefore, there is a need for further improvement in new media promotion for academic papers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the impact of digital technologies and tools on business communication in the contemporary business environment through the prism of new communication channels. Every technological breakthrough throughout history has altered the way people communicate, beginning with the discovery of the printing press, telegraph, radio, and television. In the fifth industrial revolution and contemporary environment, business communication becomes increasingly focused on current digital technologies and tools. Traditional communication, which was inherently slow, is being phased out in favor of interactive and quick communication. Communication through modern digital technologies and tools has many benefits, but it also has some drawbacks, including the possibility of misunderstandings and conflict. This paper discusses the digital age’s key communication channels, including smart mobile phones, short messages (sms), multimedia messages (mms), voice mail, Viber, WhatsApp, iMessage, Skype, Google Hangouts, Slack, teleconferences, video conferences, e-mail, intranet, organizational social and professional networks, and various business communication applications. Besides from their essential characteristics and advantages, this paper highlights key limitations that should be considered in order to eliminate or lessen misunderstandings and conflict situations.

A paradigm shift is currently underway with the emergence of the Collections as Data movement, which advocates the creation and dissemination of cultural heritage collections that are amenable to large‐scale computation to empower both collection managers and users. Although this discourse is beginning to gain some traction in the literature, critical evidence‐based assessments of the opportunities and risks of this process are underexplored. This paper presents the results of a content analysis of the official position statements (n = 83) produced in the Collections as Data forums and written by international professionals working with digital collections. Although preliminary, the analysis presented and discussed here sheds light on the initial reception of the idea of Collections as Data and its articulation in practice. The study represents the first systematic attempt to explore the complexities of the intersection of ethics and artificial intelligence in the context of cultural heritage, aiming at providing a valuable precedent for further elaboration and discussion.

The digital finance generated by technology empowerment profoundly affects the innovative behavior of micro-enterprises. To estimate how digital finance influences the quantity and quality of green technological innovation, this paper introduces digital finance into endogenous economic growth model and further conducts correlation analysis with the combination of fixed effects model (FE) and panel threshold model (PTM). Moreover, this paper investigates the action mechanism from the perspective of financial constraint and financial cost. The empirical results indicate that digital finance improves the quantity and quality of green technological innovation significantly. Compared with the coverage of digital finance and digital services, the impact of usage depth on green innovation accumulates dynamically superimposed in the long term. The digital finance contributes to correct the mismatch of financial resources and further induces inclusive green innovation in the dimension of ownership, growth cycle, and enterprise scale. Mechanism analysis shows that the relief of financial constraint, environmental information disclosure, and increase of R&D investment are the main paths for digital finance to drive green innovation. With the different thresholds, the dynamic evolution process of green innovation driven by digital finance is characterized by "first quantitative change and then qualitative change." This paper suggests that the integration of technological innovation and digital financial services needs to build an inclusive digital financial service system, cultivate diversified financial formats, and improve the market environment of digital financial services.

In scientific social networks, group information has become an important auxiliary information to enhance the performance of paper recommendation, as many researchers prefer to obtain interested papers by joining groups. However, the existing paper recommendation methods failed to make full use of group information. In this paper, a paper recommendation method considering group information with multi-graph attention fusion network (GI-MGAF) is proposed. Specifically, in the graph construction layer, we construct researcher-paper bipartite graph, group-researcher bipartite graph and group-paper bipartite graph. In the information propagation layer, graph attention networks (GAT) are used to learn the node representations on the constructed bipartite graphs. In the information fusion layer, the researcher-level attention and paper-level attention are developed to respectively fuse the representations of researchers and papers. Experiments were conducted on the real world CiteULike dataset and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed GI-MGAF method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For many people, digital transformation offers a great opportunity to keep pace with the requirements of the current age, while for others, it is all hype and needs to be approached with caution. However, be it opportunity or hype, digital transformation impacts every part of our human life, where we especially see and experience it in numerous areas of social domains, including education. Based on these arguments, this paper examines the research that has been conducted on digital transformation from the perspective of education by applying data mining and analytics approaches. Accordingly, in the examination of research papers on digital transformation, five emerging broad themes were identified: (1) strategies and technologies as pillars of digital transformation in social development, (2) digital transformation as a vision that goes beyond mere adaptation of technology, (3) innovative technologies as change agents of digital transformation, (4) the COVID-19 pandemic as a catalyst for digital transformation, and (5) confusion in terminology - digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation. This paper argues that by ignoring the social aspects and not positioning humans at the center of digital transformation and failing to understand the philosophy, vision and mission that lies behind it, we will be at risk of writing failure stories rather than success stories.

The problems of digitalization in the higher education system are considered in the paper; modern digital tools as the mechanisms for enhancing the financial autonomy of universities in Ukraine are revealed. The authors assume that the main direction of digitalization and development of digital technologies is the creation of digital infrastructures (e-infrastructures), which provide primary processing, storage and data exchange, distributed computing, and automated analytics of a higher education institution activity. However, it is noticed that in the digital world data maturity – the compliance of data with the requirements of the mentioned digital infrastructures – is essential. Digital tools for the financial sector of the economy are commonly called FinTech. This term is used to describe the technological innovations in financial services, which can lead to the emergence of new business models, applications, processes, and products; they also may have a corresponding material impact on financial markets, institutions, and ways of providing financial services. The authors are based on the main provisions of institutionalism and neo-institutionalism, financial capitalism as the theoretical foundations of modern economic relations of universities. The author's definition of the institutional autonomy of a university as an institutional unit of the modern economy, as well as the main mechanisms and instruments for regulating the limits of their institutional autonomy, are proposed. In this context, the authors describe the main FinTech technologies, which have significant prospects as components of the mechanisms of Ukrainian universities' financial autonomy, i.e.: cloud technologies, artificial intelligence technologies, the internet of things, peer-to-peer transaction technologies, digital banking, and blockchain. Analyzing the features of digital financial technologies, much attention is paid to the blockchain, in particular, smart contracts as the most accessible for Ukrainian universities in the near future. The perspective directions of introducing blockchain technology in the digital systems of Ukrainian universities are outlined. It is noted that digitalization in the university sphere stipulates establishing mandatory rules (standards), the creation and functioning of digital technologies, which act as institutional constraints to almost all the proposed mechanisms and instruments of university institutional autonomy, including the university funding mechanism.

Art and science and technology are two different ways people understand and reflect the objective world. The mutual penetration of science, technology, and art has promoted the development of art and the innovation of forms. Technology has become the carrier of social and cultural exchanges and spiritual world exchanges for artists, providing new ideas for modern art. In recent years, with the active development of various new media technologies, new media technologies represented by image technology and digital technology have gradually developed and are closely integrated with various fields. With the development and progress of image and digital technology, digital painting technology has had a great impact on the field of artistic creation. Of course, oil painting creation in the field of art has also encountered unprecedented challenges. This article introduces various functional methods in digital painting technology, and also introduces the preparation method of graphene graphite for printing. And through experiments, graphite with good performance was prepared, which showed that when ethylene glycol was used as a solvent and the mass fraction of graphene was 37.5%, the performance of the ink was relatively best. Finally, this paper designs a digital painting system and compares it with ordinary digital painting systems. It is concluded that the average satisfaction of painters in the designed system is 1.5 points higher than that of ordinary ones. These data show that the application of digital painting technology in the creation of graphene oil paintings has better applications than ordinary digital painting systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The discourse on Employee-Driven Innovation (EDI) centers on the initial stages of the EDI process: idea generation, evaluation and implementation However, a research gap exists concerning the internal structure of the EDI process - specifically, its phases and influencing factors. In this paper, the phenomenon of EDITRANSOR - transition of EDI into Organizational Routine (OR) is presented. Preliminary findings, drawn from two distinct cases, center on exploring the internal structure of EDITRANSOR and the factors that influence it. By employing a case study method, the research extends the understanding of the EDI process in three significant ways. Firstly, it highlights the EDITRANSOR phases, with the unexplored phase of EDI solidification into OR. Secondly, it demonstrates categories of factors enabling and impeding the process. Thirdly, it suggests that factors vary across EDITRANSOR phases. Research findings hold practical value, allowing organizations with ongoing or planned EDI programs to update their policies accordingly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cities have been studied as a platform for sustainability transformation and social innovation, mainly focusing on environmental sustainability and emphasizing governance and citizen roles as transition actors. Previous studies have paid limited attention to the social aspects of sustainability and the role of business organizations as producers of socially targeted innovation. Our study develops a framework for the identification of social sustainability impacts of communal neighborhoods. Considering the residents' collaborative efforts for creating the sense of community, this paper explores whether the concept of social innovation is useful in conceptualizing the social sustainability impacts of communal neighborhoods. We use the framework to illustrate initial findings of a case analysis of two Finnish communal neighborhood concepts. The findings of our paper contribute to the discussion on social value, which has been identified as a central theme in the development of social innovation research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Knowledge management (KM) is more important than ever for organisations of all sizes. The systematic identification, acquisition, development, distribution, utilisation and preservation of knowledge can lead to competitive advantage. In times of parallel transformations, it is crucial for companies to bundle and link different types of knowledge and make it available to employees in a targeted way. This conference paper proposes a fourfold approach in which the organisational culture and the mind-set of the employees play an equally important role in KM as the organisational framework of KM, and the tool-set and skill-set of a company. Based on the data collected in a 1.5 year project, this conference paper links six KM building blocks with cultural dimensions to show that the mind-set of the employees also plays a crucial role in ensuring that an organisation effectively identifies, develops, shares, uses and retains knowledge.

In this paper we discuss how digital transformation in finance is leading to increased focus on customer-centricity. We describe how this is often understood as data-driven innovation based on quantitative collection and analysis of digital customer information. We explore the potential of using qualitative data to understand customer contexts and pain points. We share research that illustrates how quantitative data can overlook important knowledge about customers' decision-making and customers' use of different financial solutions, while it can underestimate customers' ability to manage new technological solutions. We recommend that financial service providers extend their innovation toolbox to include qualitative research methods and that they build a customer centric research culture. We also recommend including customers and partners in innovation practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the relationship between entrepreneurial education and action, emphasizing the complexity of transitioning from education to entrepreneurial journey. Highlighting the significance of universities in fostering entrepreneurship, it underscores the necessity of educational programs extending beyond traditional business education. Drawing from various theoretical frameworks, including Shapero and Sokol's Entrepreneurial Event Model and Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behaviour, the paper proposes an Intention Model to elucidate the transition from opportunity identification to intention formation and subsequent entrepreneurial action. Through a combination of literature review and empirical research, the study explores the impact of entrepreneurship education on graduates' entrepreneurial actions, shedding light on factors such as personal desirability, social norms, and perceived efficacy. Findings suggest that entrepreneurship education significantly influences students' social norms and behavioural tendencies, thus affecting their entrepreneurial actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Conversational agents (CAs), which communicate naturally with humans, are being developed and employed for a variety of tasks. Interactions between humans and CAs induce affect, which is vital to the adoption and performance of CAs. Yet, there is a lack of cumulative understanding of existing research on affect in human-CA interaction. Motivated thus, this article presents a systematic review of empirical IS and HCI studies on such affect, its antecedents and consequences. Besides conducting descriptive analysis of the studies, we also divide them into two broad categories - emotion-related, and those related to other (more persistent) affective responses. We present organizing frameworks for both categories, which complement each other. Through the review and frameworks, we contribute towards attaining a holistic understanding of extant research on human-CA interaction, identifying gaps in prior knowledge, and outlining future research directions. Last, we describe our plan for extending this work to gain additional insights. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: While the potential for digital innovation (DI) to transform organizational practices is widely acknowledged in the information systems (IS) literature, there is very limited understanding on the socio-political nature of institutional interactions that determine DI and affect organizational practices in social cash organizations. Drawing on the neo-institutionalist vision, the purpose of the study is to examine the unique set of institutional exchanges that influence the transition to digital social cash payments that give rise to new institutional arrangements in social cash organizations. Design/methodology/approach: The paper draws on an in-depth case study of a government social cash organization in Pakistan. Qualitative data were collected using 30 semi-structured interviews from key organizational members and stakeholders. Findings: The results suggest that DI is determined by the novel intersections between the coercive (techno-economic, regulatory), normative (socio-organizational), mimetic (international) and covert power (political) forces. Hence, DI is not a technologically deterministic output, but rather a complex socio-political process enacted through dialogue, negotiation and conflict between institutional actors. Technology is socially embedded through the process of institutionalization that is coupled by the deinstitutionalization of established organizational practices for progressive transformation. Research limitations/implications: The research has implications for government social cash organizations especially in the Global South. Empirically, the authors gained rare access to, and support from a government-backed social cash organization in Pakistan (an understudied country in the Global South), which made the data and the consequent analyses even invaluable. This made the empirical contribution within this geographical setting even more worthy, since this case study has received little attention from indigenous scholars in the past. The empirical findings showcased a unique set of contextual factors that were subject to BISP and interpreted through an account of socio-cultural sensitivities. Practical implications: The paper provides practical implications for policymakers and practitioners, emphasizing the need to address institutional challenges, including covert power, during the implementation of digitalization projects in the public sector. The paper has certain potential for inspiring future e-government related (or public sector focused) studies. The paper may guide both private and government policy-makers and practitioners in presenting how to overcome certain institutional challenges while planning and implementing large scale multi-stakeholder digitization projects in similar country contexts. So while there is scope of linking the digitization of public sector organizations to anti-corruption measures in other Global South countries, the paper may not be that straightforward with the private sector involvement. Social implications: The paper offers rich social insights on the institutional interchanges that occur between the social actors for the innovation of technology. Especially, the paper highlights the social-embeddedness nature of technology that underpins the institutionalization of new organizational practices. These have implications on how DI is viewed as a socio-political process of change. Originality/value: This study contributes to neo-institutional theory by theorizing covert power as a political force that complements the neo-institutional framework. This force is subtle but also resistive for some political actors as the force shifts the equilibrium of power between different institutional actors. Furthermore, the paper presents the social and practical implications that guide policymakers and practitioners by taking into consideration the unique institutional challenges, such as covert power, while implementing large scale digital projects in the social cash sector.

This paper delves into the dynamics of technological competition from the perspectives of Innovation Ecosystems (IE) and Platform Ecosystems (PE). Through a systematic literature review, we contrast and compare these two theoretical lenses in understanding technological competition. Innovation Ecosystems focus on the interdependencies among organizations and their impact on core innovations, while Platform Ecosystems emphasize how interactions between platform owners, complementors, and users shape competitive landscapes. We propose an integrated research framework based on the characteristics of ecosystem structure (strong vs. weak) and technological architecture (general vs. proprietary) to explore the nature of technological competition across different ecosystems. Our analysis reveals the complexity and multidimensionality of technological competition within and across ecosystems, offering insights for strategists and policymakers in crafting strategies.

Digital technologies and data are necessary enablers when it comes to measuring, monitoring and verifying the climate impacts of agricultural processes. As the availability of data has significantly increased due to the rapid development of sensor technologies, the enablers of data-assisted decisionmaking in agriculture have improved. Timely and informed decision-making at farm level not only increases productivity and profitability, it also facilitates climate-smart production. The goal of this paper is to improve understanding of farmers' expectations and needs regarding data-driven decision-making and investigate what kind of data transfer interface would be useful for farmers to assist their decision-making. This paper also presents an application prototype, called FarmerApp, that could assist farmers in making informed decisions based on their farming activities as part of climate-smart agriculture. The development of the prototype followed the principles of user-centered design and a design thinking process to ensure the usability and usefulness of the application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The origins of radical innovation are not well understood. Described as the "fuzzy front end", successful innovation is typically recognised only in hindsight, obscuring the process through which it emerged. Sarasvathy's (2001) and later work on effectuation shows clear patterns in how successful entrepreneurs think, but offers few details on how they learned to defy conventional wisdom in management theory. This paper draws on a coproduced auto ethnographical study of how 8 student teams in Higher Education delivered radically innovative products (products unlike anything currently on offer). It draws on education theory and neuroscience, specifically situated cognition and the learning paradox arguing that radical innovation emerges in co-creation through interactions between cognitively diverse people in a complex adaptive system. Its key contributions are to add more detail to the effectual process and fill some of the gap between theory and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper draws attention to commercialization projects carried out at the university and the interaction of academic and business experts in project meetings. It demonstrates how structural and socially agreed power relations are involved in the process in which scientists and industry and innovation experts make sense of commercialization and actively prepare commercialization activities for research-driven innovations. Adopting the heuristics of critical sensemaking, the research claims that university-business cooperation has little impact on translating science into business if the cooperation remains at the level of meetings and occasional interaction. This is often the case in specific research to business projects. The main contribution of this paper is the illustration of the effect of power relations on how a specific sense of commercialization became privileged over the others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper examines the phenomenon of "Sciencefluencing", meaning the use of Social Media for science communication in Germany. It investigates the role of Social Media, with a focus on Instagram, in communicating science and research to a broader public, which is not well investigated yet. Previous studies focused mainly on Twitter or other forms of online media, e.g. blogs. This study aims at filling the gap. In order to achieve that, a study is conducted including qualitative interviews with scientists and, based on the results of those, a quantitative survey that aims at understanding the use of Social Media for science communication from scientists in Germany. The theoretical framework is made up of theories of influencer marketing, opinion leadership and parasocial relations. The focus on Instagram stems from its broad relevance in the general population.

Evaluating organisational performance in relation to the Circular Economy (CE) has become increasingly important, yet the literature highlights certain limitations of micro-level CE indicators, such as the lack of a widely accepted method for measuring CE in both academia and industry. Among various Performance Management Systems (PMSs), the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) stands out as one of the most widely used by organisations, offering a more comprehensive perspective beyond purely financial metrics. Therefore, this paper aims to explore how CE measurement can be combined with organisational strategy assessment using the BSC. To achieve this, a theoretical framework that defines Circular Balanced Scorecard (CBSC) archetypes and integrates them with CE indicators is proposed. This framework serves as a tool for seamlessly integrating CE measurement into the PMS of organisations with different levels of CE maturity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How can workplace innovation be measured in a self-producing innovation system with autonomous and limited employee behavior? Seeking answer to this question this study begins with an inquiry on workplace innovation as high involvement in innovation of all employees (HII). HII's framework, is further refined through the intersection of autopoiesis, emphasizes self-creation among employees while acknowledge the necessity of controlling employee behavior. The intersection lays the foundation for the developed conceptual model. Utilizing a mixed method with multiple case study of 32 regional firms, the paper demonstrates the concepts in practice. The primary contribution is measurement of a firm's workplace innovation capacity, grounded in its capabilities and daily routines for employee behavior. The findings suggest a construct that aids to identifying management style intentions, balancing top-down and bottom-up approaches to explain employees' involvement in innovation as autonomous or limited, with the added dimension of self-creating or autopoietic employee behavior.

Generating and maintaining competitive advantage in today's hypercompetitive and globalized market environment becomes increasingly challenging. Innovative approaches are essential to differentiate from competitors and to preserve company performance. Context-oriented innovation approaches provide companies with a choice of suitable process models and methodology to conduct innovation projects while taking the context into account. The current paper aims to operationalize the contextoriented innovation approach in form of a decision-making framework called 'Smart-Innovation-Cube'. The framework allows to select and adapt processes and methods according to the three influential context factors 'External Change', 'Internal Change' and 'Path Dependency'. By applying the framework companies can chose appropriate processes and methods to increase the innovation efficiency. Moreover, the innovation process becomes customizable to fit individual innovation projects and thus becomes more agile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper discusses the potential of transitioning towards sustainable sociotechnical systems by renovating existing houses, through services contracts for homeowners. It proposes a shift from ownership to a "right of use" model for house heating applied to heat pumps. heat pumps in economics of functionality are a total novelty for the demand side such that suppliers face uncertain user demand for a service with composite content. This approach aims to extend equipment lifespan, reduce energy consumption, and align with sustainable development goals. The study surveyed 4000 French homeowners to gauge their receptivity to service contract applied to heat pumps. Four groups were identified: those interested in circular aspects, those seeking full services contracts, those focused on professional advice, and those uninterested in any propositions.

This paper presents a case study describing the design of SwageXR, an augmented reality (AR) application that gamifies a tubing assembly exercise. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the field of extended reality (XR) applications by providing a case study of a novel design process based on an existing framework by Gilardi et al. Design needs and requirements were gathered using a contextual design approach and qualitative research through interviews with training course instructors as well as a workshop involving them. The contextual design approach involved the PI taking part in the training course as one of the trainees to observe and build understanding of the taught practical content and the context in which the learning happened. This was followed by semi-structured interviews with 4 training instructors, with results indicating preferred course content to digitise, early concepts for gamification, and the storyline of the gamified content with respect to existing training. Using the data and experience gained from the contextual design approach and interviews, a paper prototype of the gamified AR application was developed, and feedback was obtained from the company technical director. The paper prototype and feedback were used as a basis for developing a 3D prototype in VR using ShapesXR. This led to a virtual reality (VR) workshop involving the technical director and training manager of the company where the 3D prototype was demonstrated and discussed. The workshop resulted in the flow of the overall application being refined including the storyline, gamification, training, and challenges. The design process aims to facilitate the development of a coded working prototype for SwageXR, with gamification elements such as score, time-based challenges and leaderboards. An initial experience playtest with course trainees will then be possible to gain insight on engagement levels and trainee attitudes about the initial game experience. The main outcome of this research is a design approach that tries to address the gap outlined by Krauß et al., the approach makes use of rehearsal techniques and virtual reality to provide context for AR application design.

The paper aims to examine the evolving retail sector in recent years, specifically how digitalisation and technological innovations have transformed it. All actors have had to adapt to remain competitive. Notably, a new innovation in the retail sector, namely the checkout-free or cashierless store, emerged in 2018. Systematic literature is relied upon to achieve the study's objectives. The significance of this study lies in the use of multiple IT tools such as AI, cameras, sensors, and self-organising shelves to replace human intervention in the retail sector. Globally, several startup companies have developed this new unmanned solution, and Amazon Go stands out as one of the most well-known among them. The primary objective of this pioneering concept is to enhance efficiency by saving time and reducing queues. The aim is to enable customers to enter and exit the store with minimal human contact as quickly as possible. This paper presents the recent trend of the cashierless concept, its evolution, and proliferation. A systematic literature review and data analysis from the Crunchbase Database were conducted. The findings demonstrate that this recent concept is altering both consumers' purchasing behaviours and companies' business models. This paper provides novel perspectives and insights into the wider literature on cashierless concepts and smart retail in the context of digital business. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Today media and sports are indivisible, having a kind of inseparable, mutually influential relationship. Media attracts audiences and generates profit through sports. In its turn, sports content is disseminated, transmitted, and popularized through the media. Thus, theoretically, sports and media exist in symbiosis. However, practically, this relationship is complex and includes many factors. First of all, in recent decades, the process of overall digitalization (and digital transformation) of all fields of life has had a crucial impact on sport, media, and their interrelationship. This paper aims to conceptualize and analyze the possible impact of digitalization on "winner-takes-all" (WTA) (winner-takes-most, WTM) dynamics in the professional sports industry, notably for spectating audiences, and answer the question: "Can digitalization be seen as a driver of ecosystem change and how it should be tested?" This conceptual model paper seeks to construct and develop a theoretical framework that can explain and predict relationships between concepts of digitalization and key sport spectating variables: audience, TV rights, and revenue through a prism of WTA. We found that the technological change in the sports media market and the greater global-orientated strategy of leading sports organizations have re-sorted and compressed many market shares, but the effect of technological disruption has been significantly less pronounced for the most powerful digital leaders in the industry. To this end, we represent digitalization as the main accelerating factor of the WTA effect (along with other auxiliary effects) in the sports industry and propose future research directions and perspectives.

TECHNOLOGICAL innovations ,DIGITAL technology ,HIGH technology industries ,POWER (Social sciences) ,ELECTRONIC paper - Abstract
In the context of the current global recession, big tech and big data corporations have amassed a disturbing amount of power and influence in this new phase of platform and surveillance capitalism. Against this backdrop, and inspired by Gibson-Graham's invitation to look for difference rather than dominance, this paper considers digital commons as a viable post-capitalist alternative. In particular, this research's focus will be on the international activist collective, FairCoop. This group, inspired by ideas of degrowth, decentralization and post-capitalism, has developed its own crypto-currency, FairCoin, along with tools and infrastructures that seek to challenge the economic and digital status quo. Grounded in ethnographic fieldwork, this investigation explores the practices and experiences of this alternative economic project. Drawing on commoning literature, the paper engages with the challenges that such initiatives face, such as the risky entanglements with crypto-markets, governance mechanisms, transparency and management issues, scalability and individual burnouts. By studying FairCoop and associated collectives such as Komun and Kaana, this paper demonstrates how alternative economies, blockchain initiatives and digital commoning can contribute to more progressive and transformative technological innovation. Yet, focusing on the practice and (re)production of the commons reveals a multifaceted picture. I argue that if we are to study the present and future of digital commoning, it is crucial to engage with difficult issues such as tensions, hierarchies and democratic deficits. These cases will be discussed to further the debate on the possibilities for post-capitalism in the digital era and bring alternative economies, technological innovation and commoning perspectives into a fruitful dialogue.

Scientific retractions can be an indicator that misinformation is present in a research paper. Retractions are therefore an interesting research object to explore news coverage of misleading scientific information. This poster presents how problematic research (before and after retraction) is portrayed in news outlets, the impact of the retraction on these reports and the relationship of retracted scientific results and the spread of false information. Starting from a list of 270 retracted COVID‐19 papers from the Retraction Watch blog (https://retractionwatch.com), we analysed news articles of 16 retracted publications, that were immensely discussed in journalistic formats. By presenting three different use cases, we show how misinformation emanates from retractions, how problematic research is presented in media and what factors influence the message of the article. Our research contributes to a better understanding of how retractions are used and perceived in propagating scientific misinformation on one hand and in mitigating it on the other.
