A growing body of research is investigating the connections between the discursive construction of circular economy (CE) and its influences on public policies that promote the socio-technological transition towards circular production and consumption systems. However, surprisingly little attention has focused on how CE discourses interact with science, technology, and innovation (ST&I) actors.

Abstract: Citizen science has established itself as an important approach to the co-production of knowledge and public participation in scientific research. Combined with digital technologies and online tools, the approach has been celebrated as a path toward the democratization of science. However, only a few studies have investigated the role digital technologies play in shaping interactions between people and nature.

Authenticity is commonly discussed by scholars specialized in game localization. Their discussions range from the challenge professional localizers face to the role of using authentic materials in the classroom to train new localization professionals. This paper discusses the issue of localization practices and game authenticity, addressing how game developers and localization professionals debate this issue. To do so, the paper defines localization and authenticity and presents a literature review on the theme.

The IPCC has been successful at building its scientific authority, but it will require institutional reform for staying relevant to new and changing political contexts. Exploring a range of alternative future pathways for the IPCC can help guide crucial decisions about redefining its purpose.

The digitalization of businesses is a pervasive tide of innovation whose challenges the literature increasingly addresses. Nevertheless, management research has given much less attention to the implications of digital transformation (DT) for the innovation process and its management. This paper aims to contribute to the debate by exploring the implications of DT for the organization and management of innovation in five leading, innovative Brazilian incumbents.

Justiça energética é conceito essencial para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico e envolve o atendimento das necessidades básicas (alimentação, saúde, educação e habitação), cujo alcance é condição necessária ao desenvolvimento humano. Pode ser articulado ao 7º Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), atinente à energia limpa e acessível, considerado o “golden thread” capaz de unir crescimento econômico, desenvolvimento e sustentabilidade.

In the transition to electric mobility (EM), business model innovation plays a crucial role in expanding the use of electric vehicles and increasing acceptance of this technology. The transition pathways differ between countries in the largest economies and those in Latin America. Brazil presents a unique scenario, benefiting from an early start with biofuels, the production of flex-fuel vehicles, predominantly renewable electric energy generation (>80%), and the absence of a structured national policy aligned with local governments.
