In this essay we reflect on the role of the university librarian as a disseminating agent and provider of access to scientific information in Argentina. First, we present the problems that arise in the professional practice and generate us dilemmas: The tension between the right of access to information and intellectual property; our imaginary on open access and the way in which we disseminate it into the academic community, facing the rules of the scientific field that researchers must follow to progress in their careers; and the relationship with commercial providers in front of our convictions about the way forward to achieve the democratization of access to scientific knowledge. After the debate on these dilemmas, where we brought to the dialogue our own experiences and those of colleagues, as well as those found in the consulted literature, we discuss some aspects to rethink our role in the academy, putting the focus of attention on our social function.

This paper aims to show the contribution of the states of the art, seen as a research modality in the production of knowledge in Social Sciences, particularly, the contribution to the development of Political Science. The authors discuss the idea that states of the art are limited to the organization and systematization of knowledge. The main purpose of the text is to demonstrate that states of the art, seen as a research modality, produce knowledge. This statement is based on theoretical analysis and on the study of an empirical case: the academic output of the Institute of Political Studies of the University of Antioquia, in 20 years.

In order to promote citizen awareness of the principles of transparency and open government, through access to information from public institutions from a gender perspective, we believe that identifying trends and possible inequalities based on the data that are published is essential to be able to define public policies that guarantee equality and non-discrimination.

The Covid-19 pandemic has introduced challenges throughout the world and is endangering people's prosperity. To these health, economic, political, and social challenges have been added those related to the management and dissemination of information, mainly concerning its exponential growth, veracity, and dissemination. Providing objective evidence-based information contributes to meeting these challenges. Social media and social networks are playing a key role in informing society about the evolution of the pandemic and progress towards its eradication. However, social networks are also a vehicle for the transmission of biased or false news that can endanger people's health. Information professionals play a key role in correcting misinformation if they are able to filter out untruthful information and make resources with proven quality available to the population. In addition, they must manage scientific information about the pandemic, which is advancing at an accelerated pace. Currently, China is the leader while Spain is in fifth place in the development of research projects and scientific publications. The scientific research focuses on epidemiological aspects, respiratory diseases, drug treatments, and diagnostic tests. Many journals, databases, repositories, and other information systems have made their publications and other information resources available in record time to encourage the progress of such research.

25 years ago, organizations consolidated their digital communication and researchers began their study. The article analyzes and evaluates the trends, findings and main future challenges of the discipline from the thematic and methodological point of view. All the articles published on the subject in the main journals included in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) are studied through an analysis sheet designed for this research and a qualitative study of the topics and hermeneutics. The results indicate a continued increase in interest in the object of study from a largely deterministic and descriptive perspective that offers an overview of the evolution of communication in organizations linked to technological innovations. Emerging issues and challenges include hybrid communication, communication through instant web messaging and robotization and their growing influence on society, especially in political elections and referendums.

In the knowledge economy era, information has become the main asset of organizations, regardless of their typology. In response to this scenario, organizations have opted for the active application of intelligence models based on knowledge of the cultural, social, political, business and technological environment from a holistic, dynamic and flexible point of view. This has favored the emergence of new approaches to Intelligence, which like the more traditional approaches, seek to collect, analyze, interpret and disseminate high value data and information at the right time for use in decision-making processes. However, this does not mean that organizations should assume that more traditional intelligence strategies continue to be viable, on the contrary, the "new rules of the game" are currently being defined and therefore we face completely radical changes. In this sense, it is necessary to review the origins of the concept of intelligence to capture the essence, analyze its evolution and consider trends, with the aim of rethinking and redesigning the concept of Intelligence from an integrative approach, regardless of the nuance or scope of application that our organizations are using. The idea of having a single framework of Intelligence adapted to the reality of the organizations will bring with it a greater diffusion of this discipline and a series of advantages for the organizations themselves. In order to achieve this, a detailed analysis of all existing publications in the literature is proposed through tools specialized in the treatment of large amounts of information. From this analysis, we will obtain the current picture of the concept of intelligence, its main lines of work and research, as well as short/medium term trends.

This research introduces the marriage between interactive documentaries (i-docs) and politics as an opportunity to motivate new civic participation and expression in the political sphere. The main objective of this study is to identify the different degrees of civic participation that i-docs permit and to setup a classification according to these levels of engagement. In order to achieve the main objective, this research has analyzed a group of documentaries using a mixture of Gaudenzi, Gifreu-Castells, and Nash methodology. The results show that it is possible to find a parallel between the closed mode and the Orwellian model; the semi-closed mode and the Tokenism model; the semi-opened mode and the playful model; and between the opened mode and the Athenian model. However, only the opened mode, used in the Global lives documentary, offers a real experience that symbolizes the purest representation of an open government system.

Trump vs. media. Treatment of the press from the US president's Twitter account. This article examines President Donald Trump's treatment on Twitter towards the US media during his first six months in office, from January 20 to July 20, 2017. Based on a content analysis of the tweets published in the account @realDonaldTrump, we study the mentions to the media and their tone, and the presence and use of keywords related to the media. In addition, we analyze Trump's treatment of the press in relation to political control and the role of journalism as watchdog of democracy. As main conclusions it is noted that Trump, in a very simplistic way, praises those media that treat him positively and criticizes those that –in his view- portrait him negatively, which are often dubbed as fake news. Through this process, Trump avoids the mediator role of the media and rejects the watchdog role that democratic systems have attributed to them.
