Call for papers
Recent reforms in research evaluation, ranging from the international to the regional level, advocate considering activities related to the dissemination of science, citizen participation, and the societal impact of research results, mainly framed within the Open Science paradigm. While there are lines of research focused on the dissemination of Science, these tend to focus on experiences and activities related to Science in general, including aspects such as “public understanding of Science” or “communication of Science.” However, fewer studies, especially empirical ones, focus on the dissemination and promotion of specific research results. The emphasis is not focused on bringing “Science” to society and citizens but rather on disseminating the findings on a particular study or research in the most effective way to achieve more readings, citations, or shape professional visibility and reputation. This special issue is dedicated precisely to the analysis of the techniques of dissemination and promotion of research results. Without attempting to offer an exhaustive and limited list of topics, there will be very welcome contributions related to the following issues:

  * Identifying, describing, and classifying activities for
    disseminating and promoting research results, including academic
    SEO, general and academic social networking sites, distribution
    lists, presence at academic events, academic advertising, writing
    press releases, etc.
  * Experiences of activities, in which emphasis is placed on the design
    of the activity, the monitoring and analysis of the results
    obtained, and the decisions and actions taken based on the evidence
    of results.
  * The effect of dissemination and promoting activities on the
    citation-based impact of the studies and the building of an online
    academic identity.
  * The discussion on the role of research professionals in
    disseminating scientific results, influencing the current division
    of scientific work labor, the actors that should undertake these
    activities, and how they should be trained or rewarded.
  * The integration and evaluation of dissemination activities in
    research/academic evaluation processes (promotion, financing,
    remuneration), contributing to the debate about whether the
    dissemination activities carried out in evaluation processes should
    be evaluated and, if so, how.
  * Perception of the different strategies to promote scientific results
    both on the research community and the lay-public.
  * Ethical considerations and responsibilities in promoting research
    results.

 Contributions can include literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, quantitative analyses, qualitative studies, theoretical/conceptual works, case studies and professional experiences, Methods papers, and Data papers.
