Editorial: Data and Information in Online Environments
Abstract
Editorial: In recent years the world has faced one of its greatest challenges. A terrible disease has put researchers, scientists, professors, governments, and society on a career path to minimize the social and economic impacts caused by the COVID-2019 pandemic. In this scientific race, the importance of collaboration between the agents of the scientific community was verified, and the collection, tabulation, and manipulation of research data for the elaboration of didactic research materials. At the same time, all the content produced and disseminated posed great challenges to the scientific community, and the questioning of the veracity and reliability of scientific information became yet another problem to be solved. The volume of fake news around the pandemic grew every day, compromising human lives. Several problems arose from this scenario: How can collaboration and data sharing between researchers, governments, and society help in the development of humanity? What are the technological, economic, political, and social challenges of facing the fake news phenomenon? In order to discuss and suggest possible solutions to these problems, researchers from different areas of knowledge, such as data science, natural language processing, data engineering, big data, research evaluation, network science, sociology of science and communication, are working to address technological, economic, political and social challenges. This special issue includes eight high-quality papers…
