  • Abstract:
  • By understanding reality in a rigorous and controlled way, scientific knowledge – always subject to discussion and, if necessary, reformulation – is critical to provide tools that may contribute to sustainable development. Scientific knowledge entails two critical dimensions: the process of conducting research and the dissemination of its product, which is materialised in the results obtained, which are at the base of this book. This publication presents, thus, a collection of some published articles as contributions to the analysis of vital elements present in social sciences in the contemporary world. Among these contributions, the following stand out: digital literacy; reading on scrolling text; writing in science; the internship report; argumentation, photography in research; interdisciplinarity; ethics and informed consent; scholarly publications and the role of both the academic editor and preprints; social media and online visibility; electronic slideshow presentations; and virtual and face-to-face academic conferences.
