What matters more in open access journal publishing : Scientific rigor or financial vigor?
2021
Academics and librarians around the world are raising concern about the current state of scholarly journal publishing in that the majority of journals are under the control of five multinational commercial journal publishing companies. Some are advocating for scholars to take back control of scholarly communication, particularly because it is the academics who are supplying and managing most of the content for journals. Open access publishing is one option, but the question of sustainability in funding streams raises concerns. Also the roles of scholarly societies, academic association, and universities in looking for stability in nonprofit journal publishing are discussed.
Making the research process as open as possible
2015
Librarians are taking new roles and participating the research process as partners of the researchers. Librarians are more and more experts on publishing and data management and consultants on Open Science. This partnership can be seen also from a broader perspective, where the role of the librarian is making the research as open as possible from the beginning till the end. And actually, the role of the librarian is enabling the open research process. Libraries are the key players, when universities create centralized services for the process of open publishing. This represents the new way of looking at things in library and actually in the whole university. The meaning and purpose of libra…

Fathers’ Leave Take-Up in Finland : Motivations and Barriers in a Complex Nordic Leave Scheme
2019
Despite being the first country in the world to introduce paternity leave in 1978, Finland’s current national leave scheme is complex with regard to incentivizing fathers’ take-up. Taking the unique Finnish leave scheme as a case example, this article examines fathers’ motivations and barriers to leave. Although research on fathers’ take-up of leave in divergent leave policy contexts has increased dramatically, fathers’ motivations and barriers to leave have remained underresearched. The article reports on a survey sample of 852 Finnish fathers of infants who were taking paternity, parental, and other forms of leave, drawn from the Population Register Center. Results show that less than 20%…
Mujeres y estructuras patriarcales: el papel de los movimientos feministas
2018
El siguiente ensayo realiza un analisis del patriarcado como hecho social vigente en palabras de Emile Durkheim (1895 2001), al mismo tiempo, evidencia como ha ido delimitado a lo largo de la historia la posicion subjetiva de mujeres y varones de acuerdo a su genero. Para ello, se acude a los conceptos planteados por Durkheim y por Simone de Beauvoir (1949 2016) sobre la sociedad en la que habitamos. El texto pretende dejar en claro que el patriarcado como hecho social no es eventual, sino que se crea a partir de creencias y modelos que se instauran en la sociedad, estableciendo pautas de conducta, normas e incluso sanciones que pueden producir la marginacion de quienes no las acatan. A su …

Platformed Interactions: How Social Media Platforms Relate to Candidate–Constituent Interaction During Finnish 2015 Election Campaigning
2020
Interaction between candidates and constituents via social media is a well-studied domain. The article takes this research further through a synthesis with platform studies, emerging scholarship that applies a critical perspective to the role of digital platforms in society. Examination of candidate–constituent interaction via Twitter and Facebook during the 2015 Finnish parliamentary elections revealed that the types of interaction differ between the two platforms: Facebook was used for formal campaigning and for praising and expressing support, while Twitter was utilized for information and for seeking and sharing opinions. An additional finding is that interaction approaches may be plat…
From Mobile Crimes to Crimes of Mobility
2020
Piipponen, Mäntymäki and Rodi-Risberg suggest that many contemporary crime narratives across the globe host a heightened interest in diverse and ambiguous mobilities, border crossings and borderlands. They propose that such mobilities and crossings reflect on recent sociocultural developments on local and global levels and communicate specific geopolitical anxieties. They position their own mobilities research perspective within existing crime fiction scholarship, especially within the so-called transnational and spatial turns. Introducing some key observations of mobilities research, they suggest that mobility can be considered both as an object of study in its own right and a critical len…
