An Examination of the Factors Affecting the Adoption of Digital Transformation by Librarians at Medical Universities Based on Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation Theory

Background. Digital transformation refers to the changes resulting from the implementation of digital technologies across all aspects of human life. This study aims to explore the factors affecting the adoption of digital transformation by librarians at medical universities based on Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) theory. Methods. This descriptive-correlational study involved 220 medical university librarians across the country, who were selected using a census sampling method. Data were collected during the third quarter of 2024 using a researcher-developed questionnaire. Five experts in knowledge and information science and social sciences confirmed the questionnaire’s validity, and a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.934 established its reliability. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 26, employing both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, including factor analysis, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results. The study identified four of the five innovation adopter categories (innovators, early adopters, early majority, and late majority), while the laggards category was not observed. Factor analysis highlighted relative advantage, trialability, complexity, compatibility, and observability as main attributes of digital transformation. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis indicated that, among the predictor variables, observability and compatibility were significant predictors of digital transformation acceptance, collectively explaining 26% of the variance in the dependent variable. Conclusion. The results indicated that medical university librarians adopted digital transformation at a rate higher than average, showing a generally favorable attitude towards it. Most participants were categorized as early adopters of innovation. In accordance with Rogers' DoI theory, this study identified and validated the five key characteristics influencing digital transformation adoption. Moreover, these results have significant implications for policymakers and managers, highlighting the importance of promoting compatibility and observability features in digital transformation to accelerate the adoption rate

Waves of Information: Exploring the Analogy between Physical Wave Propagation and News Dissemination

When a news item is first published (the first wave of news), it spreads rapidly but with limited reach, analogous to a short wavelength. As the dissemination continues (the second wave of news), the speed of propagation decreases, but the reach (wavelength) increases, covering a broader audience. This study aims to draw an analogy between the propagation of water waves generated by a dropped object and the dissemination of news within communication and broadcasting systems. This study presents a conceptual framework that draws an analogy between the physical propagation of water waves and the dissemination of news within communication and broadcasting systems. By comparing the initial rapid spread of information to high-speed, short-wavelength waves and the subsequent slower, broader dissemination to longer-wavelength waves, the study highlights the dynamic and layered nature of information flow. The formation of waves in water serves as an effective analogy for the propagation of news in media and communication systems. When a news item is published, it resembles the formation of waves, where the first wave represents rapid propagation with a short wavelength, while subsequent waves propagate more slowly but with longer wavelengths. This analogy between wave propagation in water and the dissemination of news offers a novel conceptual lens for understanding patterns of information diffusion. By applying physical principles such as wave speed, wavelength, and dispersion to communication dynamics, we can gain deeper insights into the mechanisms by which news propagates through various phases. While this model provides a compelling theoretical framework, further research is needed to validate its applicability through empirical analysis and to explore its implications for media theory, communication strategy, and public information flow

La ciudadanía cultural: una aproximación a su abordaje desde la bibliotecología

The article describes the importance of librarianship, from its social character and disciplinary history, to broadening its field of action by attending to the cultural sphere. It focuses on cultural policies and their current frameworks, which allow for professional involvement, giving a political perspective to the cultural mediation developed by libraries. It proposes cultural citizenship as a line of work that promotes this orientation and cultural management as a tool that promotes disciplinary dialogues and the creation of new perspectives on the library unit, showing its importance as a cultural service without losing its essential features. It presents the results of a research that focused on the uruguayan reality from a context of change such as the arrival to power of the leftist party Frente Amplio, in 2005, which promoted new and diverse cultural policies, which were studied with reference to the directionality and visibility of the public library

Investigating the Effect of Organizational Commitment and Organizational Justice Perception on Knowledge Sharing Motivation

Medical staff, with their specialized knowledge and practical experiences, have a direct impact on treatment and health outcomes. This study investigated the effect of commitment and perception of organizational justice on the motivations for knowledge sharing of medical staff at Abolfazl Hospital in Kashmar. The main objective of the study was to investigate the effect of organizational commitment and perception of organizational justice on the motivations for knowledge sharing at Abolfazl Hospital in Kashmar. This is an applied study, in which the statistical population consisted of 112 medical staff at the hospital, and the questionnaire was distributed among all members as a census, and finally 98 usable questionnaires were collected. Data analysis and hypothesis testing were performed using the bootstrapping technique and structural equation modeling in SPSS and Smart PLS software, which focused especially on the effects existing at Abolfazl Hospital. The content validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by experts, and their reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The results showed that organizational commitment with an impact coefficient of 0.377 and perceived organizational justice with an impact coefficient of 0.470 have a positive and significant effect on knowledge sharing motivation. In particular, increasing organizational commitment and a sense of justice in the workplace significantly increase the motivation of medical staff to share knowledge. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening organizational commitment and justice and suggests that hospital managers focus on these factors to help improve the quality of medical services and increase the efficiency of medical teams

Métricas en transición: evaluación de indicadores tradicionales y alternativos en revistas latinoamericanas de ciencias sociales.

Altmetrics are transforming the evaluation of scientific impact by complementing traditional bibliometric indicators with a broader and more dynamic perspective on research influence in the digital age. In this context, the scientific ecosystem is undergoing a shift in its prevailing evaluation model as it has been understood in recent years. The main objective of this study is to analyze the distribution of Latin American social science journals indexed in the Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) 2023, and the evolution of their traditional and alternative metrics during the period 2017 – 2023, in order to identify growth dynamics and significant differences related to the impact assessment of scientific publications. The analysis considered the annual scores of 12 alternative metrics and 9 traditional metrics across 356 journals, as well as data obtained through a survey administered to the editors of the journals studied. The findings reveal limited regional representation of social sciences within the SJR, and an uneven pattern of regional editorial production led by Brazil followed by Chile, Colombia and Mexico. In traditional metrics, a sustained growth in SJR, CiteScore and JCI scores was identified, with a slower integration in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) metrics, accompanied by a consolidated editorial use in impact assessment. Altmetrics presented low and scattered values. Mentions on X (Twitter), Wikipedia, mainstream media and blogs exhibited statistically significant growth, while Mendeley readership, Facebook mentions and citations in Dimensions reflected a decrease. This asymmetric behaviour suggests an ongoing transition in the modes of scientific dissemination, although the traditional citation-based model prevails

Modelo de gestión enfocado en el usuario del Sistema de Bibliotecas de la Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina

In recent years, university libraries have had to discern and define a new role that considers both their social function and their integration into the teaching and learning process. This challenge means assuming that libraries must be an inspiring environment for students, teachers and researchers to enhance their learning experiences. This paper presents the management model of the Library System of the Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina. It develops the changes introduced based on the results of the library’s evaluation and the methodologies applied to transform it into a user-centered management model. Sharing this experience aims to contribute to the reflection on librarians’ new roles and functions, the possible management models, and to raise awareness of the importance of the organisational cultural change that the library community must face

The Custodian of Consequence: Reframing the Role of the Critic By Dorian Vale

The Custodian of Consequence: Reframing the Role of the Critic By Dorian Vale In this philosophical essay, Dorian Vale redefines the role of the critic—not as interpreter, judge, or analyst, but as custodian of consequence. Rooted in the doctrines of Post-Interpretive Criticism, the work challenges the traditional posture of critique as commentary and repositions it as a form of ethical stewardship. Vale explores how every act of writing about art either preserves or distorts the original encounter. Through sharp theoretical analysis and poetic argumentation, the essay exposes the critic’s unseen power to shape memory, public reception, and even the afterlife of a work. The true critic, Vale contends, is not the one who explains most eloquently—but the one who bears the most moral proximity to the wound. This piece is a foundational rearticulation of what it means to “respond” to art—offering not just a new lens, but an entirely new ethic. Vale, Dorian.
