Despite the existence of studies addressing the historical development of digital platforms, none of them has yet drawn a coherent and comprehensive interpretation of the emergence of scientific digital platforms. The previous literature (i) focuses on specific scientific practices; (ii) does not reach far enough back into the past; (iii) does not cover all relevant groups of social actors; (iv) does not propose a taxonomy for scientific digital platforms; and (v) does not provide a definition for scientific digital platforms. We propose in this paper a long-term view (from 1990 onwards), allowing us to identify the participation of distinct groups of social actors—within State, Market and Science subsystems—in the process of science platformization. Dialoguing with the most up-to-date literature, we broaden our understanding of the ongoing process of platformization of the research life cycle, proposing a taxonomy and a definition for scientific digital platforms. The evidence provided throughout the paper unveils that (i) the changes (caused by platformization) in each of the phases of the research cycle are not at all linear and are not happening simultaneously; (ii) actors from different subsystem played important roles in the platformization of science; and, (iii) specific categories of platforms have consolidated themselves as infrastructures and certain scientific infrastructures have been platformed, although this varies by category.

DIGITAL technology - Abstract
In 2014, the European Commission initiated a process to strengthen science 2.0 as a core research policy concept. However, this turned into a substantial ideational shift. The concept of science 2.0 was dropped. Instead, open science became established as one of the three pillars of the €94 billion research framework programme Horizon Europe. This article scrutinises the official narrative regarding the shift of concepts, identifying transparency issues, specifically misrepresentation of concepts and data, and the redaction of key material. This can be characterised as problems of input legitimacy. A public consultation did take place, but numerous transparency issues can be found. From science 2.0 to open science, the ideational shift was portrayed as simply a matter of exchanging two synonymous concepts. However, science 2.0 is a descriptive concept referring to science being transformed by digitalisation. In contrast, open science involves normative assumptions about how science should work and be governed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Open science represents a paradigm shift in the way science is conducted that involves performing all stages of scientific research (design, data collection, review, publication, etc.) with an "open" vision. Our aim is to analyze the evolution of the denomination and the concept of open science from its beginnings (e-science, interconnected science, science 2.0, open science). We also want to determine which are the fundamental elements that make up open science. This is a theoretical research based on the selection and analysis of the most important conceptual documents about open science, which have been found in the Scopus and GoogleScholar databases. As a result, it is shown that the denominations have undergone more variations than the concept itself. Regarding the components, open science started with four basic elements (open access, open data, open software, reproducibility) that have been extended to the eight that are considered in the model proposed by OSPP recommendations.

Introduction: From 2005 to 2009, the Scientific and Technical Branch Program "Cuban Network of Science" was developed under the auspices of the Cuban Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment, which obtained outstanding results and a national and international impact. Then more than 10 years after its design, it became necessary to develop a new version in correspondence with the current state of ICT and its services. With the purpose of modernizing and completing the Cuban Network of Science as a digital network of contents, products and services of Science, Technology and Environment, the project "Modernization of the Cuban Network of Science" was developed. Objective: to approach the main results of the project, their correspondence with the objectives that were set and ways to achieve them. Material and methods: the techniques and methods used, the historical - logical, the systemic approach, the focus group and force field techniques, the interviews, the scientific observation, the literature review, the expert opinion and the Iadov technique stand out. Results and discussion: the commissioning of a modernized technological infrastructure of the network with higher levels of access and connectivity, a general portal of the Cuban Network of Science 2.0 web version, a system of selection, acquisition, processing, organization and updating of the contents, as well as the creation of experimental facilities for cloud computing. Conclusions: the project contributed to improving integration with other networks and services with shared and personalized use in a more efficient way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to contextualize the results obtained regarding the classification of researchers who work in Colombian institutions according to their public Google Scholar - GSC citation profiles (1390 with an H index equal or higher than 5). To this end, the study compares its findings with the data obtained from the collection of Colombian authors on a social network named ResearchGate - RG and the local information provided by Colciencias, which is the Colombian agency that publishes researcher classification from a platform named ScienTI. Findings revealed significant discrepancies between GSC and RG findings regarding the four classification categories Colciencias provided. This suggests that Colciencias must reconsider its assessment criteria including new sources and indicators. Considering that the two sources (GSC, RG) and the (h index, RG-Index) indicators behave differently regarding disciplines, Colciencias must also be careful with disciplinary assignments adopting International classifications and developing discipline related indicators. Colombian academic and research organizations should become more active in recognizing the potential and importance of Internet platforms to visibilize their research work and increase its impact (Ciencia 2.0).

The development of information technologies has led to changes in the processes of scientific communication and role of library support of research processes. Librarians from the Utrecht University (the Netherlands) Jeroen Bosman and Bianca Kramer conducted a global online survey “Innovations in Scholarly Communication” to study the situation. The main objective of this our study is to identify the main trends in the usage of modern communication tools by Ukrainian scientists with the help of analysis of responses of 117 Ukrainian respondents who took part in this online survey. The source of the study is the open data set “Innovations in scholarly communication – data of the global 2015-2016 survey”, available at the Zenodo Scientific Repository. The results of surveys by Ukrainian respondents were selected for study from the main array of the open data. The calculated percentage of the received answers and the obtained results were compared with the global ones. The study found that changes in research workflows in Ukraine related to the development of digital technologies are similar to the global ones, with the exception of some differences. The data obtained as a result of the survey can be used as an empirical material for further research of the library web-support of Ukrainian scientists’ research activities. But given the rapid changes in the scientific communication landscape associated with both the development of information technology and increasing number of their users and their digital literacy, the current state of usage of these technologies in scientific process requires additional research.

- Abstract
Scientific social networks (SSN) have been an important advance in the dissemination of knowledge in the scientific community. There are more and more researchers who agree on the need to join some SSN on account of the many advantages of visibility and impact they offer. This research paper studies the knowledge and use of SSN in the three Galician universities in 2017. Surveys of 552 professor/researchers from A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela and Vigo universities show that the knowledge and use of SSN have a growing trend, and that its management and usefulness assessment is positive, although their access frequency is still low.

Science journalists are mainly responsible for publicly communicating science, which, in turn, is a major indicator of the social development of democratic societies. The transmission of quality scientific information that is rigorously researched and understandable is therefore crucial, and demand for this kind of information from both governments and citizens is growing. We analyzed the academic profiles of a representative sample of practicing science journalists in Spain to clarify what training they had received and how they perceived the quality and scope of this training. Using an ethnographic methodology based on a survey, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with science journalists working for the main Spanish media (mainly printed press, audiovisual, Internet and news agencies), we analyze their academic backgrounds and collect information on their opinions and proposals. Our findings depict a complex and heterogeneous scenario and also reveal that most science journalists not only do not have any scientific training, but also do not even consider this to be necessary to exercise as science reporters. They also criticize the current system for training journalists and consider that the best way of learning the profession is by acquiring experience on the job. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper investigates the transparency and influenceability of the RG score. This altmetric specially developed by the best-known academic social network ResearchGate is intended to indicate a researcher's academic perception in one single figure. We conducted a self-experiment to demonstrate that the indications of the RG score are difficult for the user to understand and are not transparent. They therefore do not fulfil the requirements of the Leiden Manifesto for research metrics. The results of our investigation show that activity in social networks appears to have a great impact on the RG score and can strategically and selectively influence this result. Furthermore, we succeeded in entering publications by other authors as our own, thus dramatically improving our RG score. On the whole, with a little effort and without any academic publications of our own we were able to achieve an RG score which was higher than almost half the scores of all ResearchGate users. This self-experiment should be interpreted as a pilot study and can be implemented in an expanded form in future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Postęp techniczny związany z upowszechnieniem elektronicznej formy publikacji oraz z rozwojem Internetu, kształtującym nowy status komunikacji, w rewolucyjny sposób wpłynął na sposób uprawiania nauki. Zmiana dotknęła także metod prowadzenia badań i rozpowszechniania ich wyników w teologii. Teologia systematyczna (traktowana tu jako obszar badań z teologii fundamentalnej, dogmatycznej i moralnej) jest specjalizacją teologiczną, która odwołuje się do wielu typów właściwych dla siebie źródeł (Biblia, nauka Kościoła, historia teologii, wiara ludu Bożego, liturgia itd.), a także rezultatów badań w innych naukach, a w końcu także wymaga uczestnictwa w toczącym się aktualnie dyskursie teologicznym. Stąd wspomniane zmiany ułatwiające dostęp do materiałów źródłowych i aktualnych publikacji mają wielkie znaczenie dla teologa, pod warunkiem zdobycia umiejętności posługiwania się nowymi technologiami. Ze względu na wielką liczbę źródeł udostępnionych w Internecie można w krótkim opracowaniu jedynie – nie zbliżając się do kompletności prezentacji – wskazać przez pogrupowanie różne sposoby ich publikacji. W ten sposób możliwa jest ich przybliżona charakterystyka i wstępna ocena wiarygodności. Dokonany przegląd pokazuje, że wiarygodność publikacji zasadniczo jest dziedziczona od podmiotów publikujących je: stąd pierwszeństwo mają instytucje naukowe, uznane wydawnictwa, nowe podmioty ukonstytuowane w przestrzeni Internetu, o ile przedstawiają jasną politykę naukową. Równocześnie, wobec ciągle wzrastającej ilości informacji, ważna dla naukowca jest orientacja w świecie baz danych, szczególnie tych dziedzinowych, zarówno bibliograficznych, jak i pełnotekstowych. Należy zauważyć, że niebagatelną formą rozwoju myśli teologicznej, niewykorzystaną jeszcze w wysokim stopniu przez środowisko teologiczne, jest umożliwiona w Internecie wymiana między naukowcami: bezpośrednia bądź odbywająca się za pośrednictwem wyspecjalizowanych platform. The practice of science has been revolutionised by the technical progress related to the popularisation of the electronic form of publication and the development of the global Internet network, which has shaped the new status of communication. The way research is conducted and its results disseminated in theology has changed as well. Systematic theology (here regarded as an area of studies in fundamental, dogmatic and moral theology) is a theological specialty which refers to multiple types of sources (the Bible, Church teaching, history of theology, the common Faith of the People of God, liturgy, etc.) as well as outcomes of research studies in other disciplines of science. Finally, it requires participation in the current theological discourse, hence the aforementioned changes facilitating access to source materials and current publications are of great signifi cance for theologians, provided that they acquire the ability to take advantage of modern technologies. Due to the large number of sources available on the Internet and the small scale of the study, it is only feasible to name them by grouping various ways of their publication. While this does not come close to exhausting their entire range, it is possible to characterise them approximately and assess their credibility in a preliminary manner. The review conducted shows that particular publications inherit their credibility from the entities which publish them, hence priority is given to scientifi c institutions and recognised publishers as well as new entities established already in the Internet space, provided that they pursue a clear scientifi c policy. Given the ever-increasing amount of information, it is also important for a scientist to be familiar with the world of databases, especially topical ones, both bibliographic and full-text. Moreover, the study notes that a signifi cant form of the theological thought development which has not yet been used to a great extent by the theological community is the scientific exchange on the Internet, either direct or mediated through specialised communication platforms.

New Science paradigms have recently evolved to promote open publication of scientific findings as well as multi-disciplinary collaborative approaches to scientific experimentation. These approaches can face modern scientific challenges but must deal with large quantities of data produced by industrial and scientific experiments. These data, so-called Big Data, require to introduce new computer science systems to help scientists cooperate, extract information, and possibly produce new knowledge out of the data. E-infrastructures are distributed computer systems that foster collaboration between users and can embed distributed and parallel processing systems to manage big data. However, in order to meet modern Science requirements, e-Infrastructures impose several requirements to computational systems in turn, eg, being economically sustainable, managing community-provided processes, using standard representations for processes and data, managing big data size and heterogeneous representations, supporting reproducible Science, collaborative experimentation, and cooperative online environments, managing security and privacy for data and services. In this paper, we present a cloud computing system (gCube DataMiner) that meets these requirements and operates in an e-Infrastructure, while sharing characteristics with state-of-the-art cloud computing systems. To this aim, DataMiner uses the web processing service standard of the open geospatial consortium and introduces features like collaborative experimental spaces, automatic installation of processes and services on top of a flexible and sustainable cloud computing architecture. We compare DataMiner with another mature cloud computing system and highlight the benefits our system brings, the new paradigms requirements it satisfies, and the applications that can be developed based on this system.

Science 2.0 aims at using the information sharing and collaborative features of the Internet to offer new features to the research community. Science 2.0 has been already applied to computer sciences, especially bioinformatics. For network information hiding, a field studying the possibility of concealing a communication in networks, the application of Science 2.0 is still a rather uncovered territory. To foster the discussion of potential benefits for network information hiding, we provide a disquisition for six different Science 2.0 aspects when applied to this domain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Recent developments on sharing research results and ideas on the Web, such as research collaboration platforms like Mendeley or ResearchGate, enable novel ways to explore research information. Current search interfaces in this field focus mostly on narrowing down the search scope through faceted search, keyword matching, or filtering. The interactive visual aspect and the focus on exploring relationships between items in the results has not sufficiently been addressed before. To facilitate this exploration, we developed ResXplorer, a search interface that interactively visualizes linked data of research-related sources. By visualizing resources such as conferences, publications and proceedings, we reveal relationships between researchers and those resources.We evaluate our search interface by measuring how it affects the search productivity of targeted lean users. Furthermore, expert users reviewed its information retrieval potential and compared it against both popular academic search engines and highly specialized academic search interfaces. The results indicate how well lean users perceive the system and expert users rate it for its main goal: revealing relationships between resources for researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[english] Digital technologies change how scientists access and process information and consequently impact publication forms in science. Even though the core of scientific publications has remained the same, established publication formats, such as the scientific paper or book, are succumbing to the transitions caused by digital technologies. At the same time, new online tools enable new publication forms, such as blogs, microblogs or wikis, to emerge. This article explores the changing and emerging publications forms in science and also reflects upon the changing role of libraries. The transformations of publishing forms are discussed in the context of open science.

This open access book shows the breadth and various facets of e-Science, while also illustrating their shared core. Changes in scientific work are driven by the shift to grid-based worlds, the use of information and communication systems, and the existential infrastructure, which includes global collaboration. In this context, the book addresses emerging issues such as open access, collaboration and virtual communities and highlights the diverse range of developments associated with e-Science. As such, it will be of interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of information technology and knowledge management.

Context Many recent research areas such as human cognition and quantum physics call the observer-independence of traditional science into question. Also, there is a growing need for self-reflexivity in science, i.e., a science that reflects on its own outcomes and products. Problem We introduce the concept of second-order science that is based on the operation of re-entry. Our goal is to provide an overview of this largely unexplored science domain and of potential approaches in second-order fields. Method We provide the necessary conceptual groundwork for explorations in second-order science, in which we discuss the differences between first- and second-order science and where we present a roadmap for second-order science. The article operates mainly with conceptual differentiations such as the separation between three seemingly identical concepts such as Science II, Science 2.0 and second-order science. Results Compared with first-order science, the potential of second-order science lies in 1. higher levels of novelty and innovations, 2. higher levels of robustness and 3. wider integration as well as higher generality. As first-order science advances, second-order science, with re-entry as its basic operation, provides three vital functions for first-order science, namely a rich source of novelty and innovation, the necessary quality control and greater integration and generality. Implications Second-order science should be viewed as a major expansion of traditional scientific fields and as a scientific breakthrough towards a new wave of innovative research. Constructivist content Second-order science has strong ties with radical constructivism, which can be qualified as the most important root/origin of second-order science. Moreover, it will be argued that a new form of cybernetics is needed to cope with the new problems and challenges of second-order science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Open science is based on the concept that free access to knowledge is a basic requirement for human development and that sharing and making scientific findings freely available would benefit both society and scientists. One of the key aspects of this movement is to increase research visibility within and outside of the research community. For instance, movements like Science 2.0 have contributed to creating online tools (e.g., Web 2.0 tools) that foster the collaboration among scientists and support the creation of virtual hubs in which the research process is transparent and accessible to everyone. This talk addresses the role of Open Science and Science 2.0 in the ongoing transformation of scientific communication and provides a guide to available platforms and tools that can be used to share our findings, connect with other scientists, and interact with external stakeholders.

El periodista científico es uno de los principales responsables en la cadena de transmisión e interpretación hacia la sociedad de toda noticia, novedad o avance de carácter científico. A su vez, una información científica rigurosa, comprensible y de calidad es, además, un indicador del desarrollo social. La demanda de este tipo de información crece cada día en nuestras sociedades, tanto por parte de los gobiernos como de los ciudadanos. Por este motivo, y con el objetivo de esclarecer cuál es el perfil de los periodistas científicos que deben lidiar con tal responsabilidad, cómo se han formado y cómo ellos mismos creen que deberían haber sido formados, en esta investigación analizamos los perfiles académicos (tanto el real como el ideal) de estos profesionales en España. Utilizando una metodología etnográfica, basada en entrevistas, cuestionarios y focus group con periodistas científicos que trabajan en los principales medios españoles, analizamos su trayectoria académica y sus consideraciones y propuestas al respecto. Los resultados muestran un escenario complejo y heterogéneo, pero también revelan que la mayoría de los periodistas científicos no solo no goza de una titulación universitaria en el ámbito científico, sino que tampoco la considera necesaria. Los periodistas científicos son críticos con el sistema educativo y consideran que la mejor forma de aprender es trabajar en los medios, más que estudiar, Science journalists are mainly responsible for publicly communicating science, which, in turn, is a major indicator of the social development of democratic societies. The transmission of quality scientific information that is rigorously researched and understandable is therefore crucial, and demand for this kind of information from both governments and citizens is growing. We analyzed the academic profiles of a representative sample of practicing science journalists in Spain to clarify what training they had received and how they perceived the quality and scope of this training. Using an ethnographic methodology based on a survey, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with science journalists working for the main Spanish media (mainly printed press, audiovisual, Internet and news agencies), we analyze their academic backgrounds and collect information on their opinions and proposals. Our findings depict a complex and heterogeneous scenario and also reveal that most science journalists not only do not have any scientific training, but also do not even consider this to be necessary to exercise as science reporters. They also criticize the current system for training journalists and consider that the best way of learning the profession is by acquiring experience on the job

Science 2.0 aims at using the information sharing and collaborative features of the Internet to offer new features to the research community. Science 2.0 has been already applied to computer sciences, especially bioinformatics. For network information hiding, a field studying the possibility of concealing a communication in networks, the application of Science 2.0 is still a rather uncovered territory. To foster the discussion of potential benefits for network information hiding, we provide a disquisition for six different Science 2.0 aspects when applied to this domain.

Die Verbreitung von digitalen und Web 2.0 Technologien führt zu Veränderungen in allen Aspekten der Wissenschaft – Forschung, wissenschaftliche Kommunikation, Zusammenarbeit, Finanzierung, Lehre und Publizieren. ForscherIn zu sein bedeutet, Teil eines wissenschaftlichen Diskurses zu sein. Im klassischen Sinne findet dieser Diskurs in Zeitschriften oder Büchern und durch die Präsentation von Forschungsergebnissen auf Konferenzen oder Workshops statt. Im Zuge neuer vernetzter Technologien, leistungsfähiger Computer und nahezu universellem Netzzugang, hat sich dieser Diskurs zunehmend in digitale Umgebungen verlagert. Digitale und soziale Technologien verändern auch das System der Forschung und der Wissenschaftskommunikation grundlegend. Nicht nur die klassischen Publikationsformate - Bücher, Zeitschriften, Berichte etc. – haben von Druck- auf elektronische Standards umgestellt, auch haben Wissenschaftsblogs, Social Network Sites und Microblogs einen enormen Einfluss auf die wissenschaftliche Kommunikation gewonnen und wissenschaftliche Forschung für breites Publikum geöffnet.

40. Visibilidad de los investigadores colombianos según sus indicadores en Google Scholar y ResearchGate. Diferencias y similitudes con la clasificación oficial del sistema nacional de ciencia - COLCIENCIAS
- Abstract
[EN] The aim of this study is to contextualize the results obtained regarding the classification of researchers who work in Colombian institutions according to their public Google Scholar - GSC citation profiles (1390 with an H index equal or higher than 5). To this end, the study compares its findings with the data obtained from the collection of Colombian authors on a social network named ResearchGate - RG and the local information provided by Colciencias, which is the Colombian agency that publishes researcher classification from a platform named ScienTI. Findings revealed significant discrepancies between GSC and RG findings regarding the four classification categories Colciencias provided. This suggests that Colciencias must reconsider its assessment criteria including new sources and indicators. Considering that the two sources (GSC, RG) and the (h index, RG-Index) indicators behave differently regarding disciplines, Colciencias must also be careful with disciplinary assignments adopting International classifications and developing discipline related indicators. Colombian academic and research organizations should become more active in recognizing the potential and importance of Internet platforms to visibilize their research work and increase its impact (Ciencia 2.0)., [ES] Este trabajo pretende contextualizar los resultados obtenidos de la clasificación de investigadores que trabajan en instituciones colombianas de acuerdo a sus perfiles públicos de citas de Google Scholar - GSC (1390 con un índice h igual o superior a 5).

Los resultados muestran discrepancias significativas entre los resultados de GSC y RG con las cuatro categorías de la clasificación proporcionadas por Colciencias, lo que sugiere que Colciencias debe reconsiderar sus criterios de evaluación incluyendo nuevas fuentes e indicadores. A su vez, considerando que las dos fuentes (GSC, RG) y los indicadores (índice H, RG-Index) se comportan de manera muy diferente respecto a las disciplinas, Colciencias debe también tener cuidado con las asignaciones disciplinarias, adoptando clasificaciones internacionales y desarrollando indicadores relativos por disciplina. Las organizaciones académicas y de investigación colombianas deberían ser más activas reconociendo el potencial y la importancia de las plataformas de Internet para hacer visible y aumentar el impacto de sus actividades de investigación (Ciencia 2.0 – Ciencia Abierta).

Reusable Research ,Open Science ,Data Science ,Science 2.0 ,Digital Science - Abstract
Our abilities to collect, store and analyse scientific data have sky-rocketed in the past decades, but at the same time, a disconnect between data scientists, domain experts and data providers has begun to emerge. Data scientists are developing more and more powerful algorithms for data mining and analysis, while data providers are making more and more data publicly available, and yet many, if not most, discoveries are based on specific data and/or algorithms that "are available from the authors upon request". In the strong belief that scientific progress would be much faster if reproduction and re-use of such data and algorithms was made easier, the Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) has committed to provide an open framework for the handling and tracking of scientific data and algorithms, from raw data and first principle equations to final data products and visualisations, modular simulation models and benchmark evaluation algorithms. Led jointly by EPFL and ETH Zurich, the SDSC is composed of a distributed multi-disciplinary team of data scientists and experts in select domains. The center aims to federate data providers, data and computer scientists, and subject-matter experts around a cutting-edge analytics platform offering user-friendly tooling and services to help with the adoption of Open Science, fostering research productivity and excellence. In this presentation, we will discuss our vision of a high-scalable open but secure community-based platform for sharing, accessing, exploring, and analyzing scientific data in easily reproducible workflows, augmented by automated provenance and impact tracking, knowledge graphs, fine-grained access right and digital right management, and a variety of domain-specific software tools. For maximum interoperability, transparency and ease of use, we plan to utilize notebook interfaces wherever possible, such as Apache Zeppelin and Jupyter. Feedback and suggestions from the audience will be gratefully considered.

This study identifies the presence, productivity and influence of Ibero-American authors that write about information literacy (InfoLit). Using bibliometric and altmetric indicators, it seeks to analyze the impact and subsequent use of their scholarly works on social and scientific platforms. Fifty-five authors with the highest productivity were identified, based on the results of bibliometric studies on InfoLit carried out on both an international and Ibero-American scale in searches of major databases as well as publications collected in a Latin American wiki. Subsequently an analysis of bibliometric and altmetric indicators at the author and publication level was carried out, based on the results of searches on eight scientific platforms (Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Mendeley, ORCID, IraLIS, E-LIS and EXIT), three social networks (Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn), and data provided by a commercial supplier (Altmetric.com). Overall we found a greater presence of authors in ResearchGate (58%), Academia.edu (51%) and Google Scholar (49%) as opposed to Mendeley (25%) and ORCID (18%). Furthermore, as to social platforms, the greatest potential influence lies with Facebook, due to its high number of followers ( / top 10 authors). In addition, an analysis with the Spearman rho statistic, shows among some sources and platforms, a low correlation between the number of citations in Google Scholar and readings in Mendeley (r = 382) and low negative for mentions in blogs (r = 0,-237), Google+ (r = 0, -214) and Twitter (r = 0, -183). In conclusion, both the productivity and the impact-visibility center on specific authors writing about InfoLit, and various measurement resources show that for these authors there is a positive two-way impact from bibliometric to altmetric and vice versa. Este trabajo busca aproximarse a la identificación de la presencia, productividad e influencia de autores iberoamericanos sobre alfabetización informacional - ALFIN, y analizar el impacto y uso de sus contribuciones académicas en las plataformas sociales y científicas a través de indicadores bibliométricos y altmétricos. Partiendo de los resultados arrojados en estudios bibliométricos a nivel mundial e iberoamericano sobre ALFIN incluidos en las principales bases de datos y las publicaciones recopiladas en una wiki iberoamericana, se extraen los autores con mayor productividad (55 autores). Luego, a partir de la consulta directa a ocho plataformas científicas (Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Mendeley, ORCID, IraLIS, E-LIS y EXIT), tres redes sociales (Facebook, Twitter y LinkedIn) y los datos proporcionados por un proveedor comercial (Altmetric.com), se realiza un análisis de indicadores bibliométricos y altmétricos a nivel de autores y publicaciones. Encontramos de manera general, que existe mayor presencia de autores en ResearchGate (58%), Academia.edu (51%) y Google Scholar (49%) que en Mendeley (25%) y ORCID (18%), y que la mayor influencia potencial en plataformas sociales por la cantidad de seguidores radica en Facebook ( / top 10 autores). Además, un análisis con el estadístico rho de Spearman, arroja entre algunas fuentes y plataformas, una correlación baja entre número de citas en Google Scholar y lecturas en Mendeley (r=382) y negativa baja para menciones en blogs (r=0,-237), Google+ (r=0,-214) y Twitter (r=0,-183). Finalmente, que tanto la productividad como el impacto-visibilidad se centran en unos determinados autores de ALFIN, y que, para estos autores, y, en general, para las perspectivas métricas asumidas, considerando distintos recursos de medición, existe un impacto positivo en doble vía, de lo bibliométrico a las altmétricas y viceversa.

New Science paradigms have recently evolved to promote open publication of scientific findings as well as multi-disciplinary collaborative approaches to scientific experimentation. These approaches can face modern scientific challenges but must deal with large quantities of data produced by industrial and scientific experiments. These data, so-called "Big Data", require to introduce new Computer Science systems to help scientists cooperate, extract information, and possibly produce new knowledge out of the data. E-Infrastructures are distributed computer systems that foster collaboration between users and can embed distributed and parallel processing systems to manage Big Data. However, in order to meet modern Science requirements, e-Infrastructures impose several requirements to computational systems in turn, e.g. being economically sustainable, managing community-provided processes, using standard representations for processes and data, managing Big Data size and heterogeneous representations, supporting reproducible Science, collaborative experimentation, and cooperative online environments, managing security and privacy for data and services. In this paper, we present a Cloud computing system (gCube DataMiner) that meets these requirements and operates in an e-Infrastructure, while sharing characteristics with state-of-the-art Cloud computing systems. To this aim, DataMiner uses the Web Processing Service standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium and introduces features like collaborative experimental spaces, automatic installation of processes and services on top of a flexible and sustainable Cloud computing architecture. We compare DataMiner with another mature Cloud computing system and highlight the benefits our system brings, the new paradigms requirements it satisfies, and the applications that can be developed based on this system.

Open Science is enjoying great popularity at the moment. The European Union has recently adopted the term Open Science in its research framework programme. However, at the same time being mainstreamed into policy and administration it runs the risk of remaining empty rhetoric. The article examines terminological and actual realms of Open Science. It aims to identify gaps in the current discourse on one hand, and on the other to draw upon the potential of Open Science practices and its precursors. Situating Open Science in a broader picture of cultures of sharing helps to understand its promising role as change maker in traditional academic settings if necessary appreciation, skills and infrastructures are developed timely.
