“…These digitainability learning processes take place in a context of social, economic and even cultural transformations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic [25,105,139,147,[151][152][153]165,166]. Regarding the changes that COVID-19 has caused in education and, specifically, in the learning and teaching process, the author of [167] (p. ix) states that the pandemic has caused "[ .…”

The digitalization of societies, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is an unstoppable process. This paper seeks to answer the question: what post-COVID-19 digital competences are needed for a sustainable society? It also aims to analyze the digitalization processes in education for shaping a sustainable digital society. A bibliographic search was performed on some of the most relevant international databases of scientific literature and the selected documents were analyzed through a content analysis. It is concluded that digital education has experienced a strong increase, reinforced by COVID-19, shaping the digital presence in all dimensions of life. However, it is not sufficient to assume that the new generations are naturally engaged in and can master digital social sustainability. The results demonstrate the importance of literacy and the unavoidable promotion of sustainability in a digital society. However, this digitalization of the educational process poses several challenges: it requires both software and hardware conditions, as well as digital literacy as a result of a complex of literacies. It also implies that teachers and students change their standpoints and practices with the attainment of new teaching and learning competences in order to fight the digital divide and to foster the widest possible social inclusion for the promotion of sustainable society—digitainability.

“…Digital publishing allows for a profound change in scientific publishing, both in the form of publication (no space limitations, with the possibility of publishing images, films, ... at low cost), enabling increased visual communication (48)(49)(50)(51). This aspect is of special relevance, considering the centrality of visual communication in contemporary societies.…”

The academic publication takes on an increasingly relevant place to shape, on the one hand, the scholar’s prestige, and on the other, the prestige of the institution to which he or she is attached. In addition, academic publishing is vital for the development of scientific knowledge and the contribution to the community. This paper analyzes several dimensions that may be central to academic publishing in the near future. To this end, in methodological terms, a qualitative approach was favored, namely through the documentary analysis of scientific writings that analyze this topic. The results of this analysis reveal that this is a process in constant and accelerated development, but there will have to be criteria and processes for selecting what is scientifically relevant from what is called “noise” in scientific publishing. Increasing quality will have to be a fundamental element in this process.

“…This is especially visible in the current context of scientific production and dissemination, in which the process of scientific publishing is undergoing a profound reformulation (Neill, 2019;Sá et al, 2020;Serpa, 2019aSerpa, , 2019b. Examples of this are, among other features, the unstoppable process of open access, the pre-print publication, the rise of open review, the rise of the centrality of the scientific impact and the increasing centrality of social networks (Ferreira & Serpa, 2018c, 2018d. As Badenhorst and Xu (2016) state,…”

Scientific knowledge entails rigour and control, both as a process of creating a reasoned view of reality and also as the product of results that shape the dissemination of science. The publication is critical for the development of science and the career of the academic/scientist. This article discusses some aspects of writing in science, in a stance that starts from the authors’ scientific area – Sociology/Social Sciences –, using the scientific publication in specialized journals as a paradigmatic case. The results allow concluding that writing in science does not provide the indication of principles to be pursued and that it is shaped as more than rigid self-sufficient rules for the production of a scientific-type text. This topic is particularly relevant in the current context, in which the process of scientific publication is undergoing a profound reformulation.
