Co-authorship networks in social sciences: The case of Turkey

We analyse the co-authorship networks of researchers affiliated at universities in Turkey by using two databases: the international SSCI database and the Turkish ULAKBIM database. We find that co-authorship networks are composed largely of isolated groups and there is little intersection between the two databases, permitting little knowledge diffusion. There seems to be two disparate populations of researchers. While some scholars publish mostly in the international journals, others target the national audience, and there is very little intersection between the two populations. The same observation is valid for universities, among which there is very little collaboration. Our results point out that while Turkish social sciences and humanities publications have been growing impressively in the last decade, domestic networks to ensure the dissemination of knowledge and of research output are very weak and should be supported by domestic policies.

Rebound effects and ICT: a review of the literature

This paper presents a critical review of the literature on the rebound effects generated by information and communication technologies (ICT). Following a discussion of the types of general rebound, including direct, indirect, and economy-wide, the literature on ICT-related rebound effects is critically assessed. The chapter suggests ways of overcoming rebound and lays out promising avenues of research to better understand and tackle rebound effects in ICT.

Technologies numériques et environnement

REE N°4/2015 39 TIC ET ENERGIE DOSSIER 1 Technologies numeriques et environnement Par Cedric Gossart1 , Rene Garello2 Maitre de conferences, docteur en sciences de gestion, Telecom Ecole de Management1 Professeur, docteur en sciences du signal, Telecom Bretagne2 This paper discusses the relationship between digital technologies and environment. The aim is to better unders- tand to which extent these technologies can help us to reduce our negative ecological impacts, what are their own ecological impacts and how they can be overcome. To do so, we suggest a taxonomy of the relationship between digital technologies and environment, give examples about how these technologies can help to preserve this environment, and discuss the limits of green digital technologies to save the planet. ABSTRACT Introduction Afin de mieux comprendre sous quelles conditions les technologies numeriques pourraient contribuer a ameliorer la qualite de vie des habitants de notre planete, cet article examine les liens (positifs et negatifs) entre ces technologies et l’environnement. Il four- nit des exemples concrets d’applications des technologies numeriques contri- buant a reduire le
