EDITORIALEste quinto volume de 2015 é escrito com o espirito das comemorações dos 106 anos do Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Norte e da chegada da primavera. As flores no hemisfério sul exalam esperanças para contrastar com as dificuldades do diálogo político-social.Neste número apresentamos parte do sítio do periódico em inglês para facilitar àqueles que desejam acessá-la, bem como submeter suas colaborações em língua inglesa. Este esforço objetiva a internacionalização e a elevação dos acessos ao periódico advindos de outros países.  Desejamos ampliar os downloads e as publicações de artigos de pesquisadores do exterior e em língua inglesa.Os indicadores nacionais e internacionais são importantes para balizar estratégias de condução da politica editorial. Assim, o Ranking Web of Universities, publicado recentemente apresenta um avanço de 12 posições do IFRN que tem reflexos nos indicadores da presença da HOLOS (indexadores, índices do Google Scholar, entre outros).Importantes também são os resultados preliminares do Qualis da CAPES, recentemente divulgados, onde o periódico recebe B1 nas áreas de Educação e Planejamento Urbano e Regional & Demografia. Este resultado posiciona o periódico para a indexação em bases importantes, inclusive com critérios para a inclusão na base Scielo.O periódico passou a integrar a Plataforma do Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD) através do ERIH PLUS - https://dbh.nsd.uib.no/publiseringskanaler/erihplus/periodical/info.action?id=487154.Informo que da publicação do último número no início de agosto até a presente data, o periódico teve o acesso de 19.250 usuários, os quais visualizaram 75.250 páginas, com duração média de 2:32 minutos medidos pelo GoogleAnalytics. O Brasil representa 95,7% do acesso, seguido por Portugal (0,58%), Índia (0,51%), Moçambique (0,31%), USA (0,38%), Espanha (0,37%), México (0,20%), França (0,14%), entre outros. Entre os estados brasileiros, os principais acessos são oriundos dos Estados de São Paulo, Rio Grande do Norte, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Ceará, Bahia, Pernambuco e Santa Catarina.Esta quinto volume apresenta 33 artigos de várias áreas do conhecimento, afirmando o caráter interdisciplinar do periódico e sua inserção em várias área de avaliação do Qualis da CAPES.O tempo é de inovar para consolidar as ações editoriais de longo prazo e com este objetivo o Conselho Editorial é ampliado com a presença de docentes da Universidade de São Paulo (prof. Maurício Bergerman), da Universidade Federal de Alfenas (profa. Daniela Gomes Horta), da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (prof. Gesinaldo Ataíde Cândido) e da Universidade do Minho (prof. Bento Duarte Silva).  A editoria reafirma o compromisso com a qualidade e difusão do conhecimento, bem como a busca permanente para ampliar a visibilidade dos artigos aqui publicados.Enfim,  esta editoria agradece aos autores pela escolha da publicação dos seus artigos neste periódico, aos pareceristas ad hoc pelo trabalho desenvolvido na análise dos manuscritos e ao Conselho Editorial, que na atmosfera global validam as ações desenvolvidas neste periódico.Convido-os a acessarem o sumário e de forma sublime encontrar artigos do vosso interesse e, quando encontrá-los dialogue com seus autores, cite-os e compartilhe em suas redes.À leitura!Natal, 30 de setembro de 2015.Prof. José Yvan Pereira Leite

Future Landscape

The Data and Information Services Center (DISC), formerly known as the Data and Program Library Services (DPLS) has provided learning, teaching and research support to students, staff and faculty in social sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for 50 years.  What changes have our organization, collections, and services experienced? How has DISC evolved with the advancement of technology? What role does DISC play in the current and future landscape of social science data services on our campus and beyond?  This paper gives answers to these questions and recommends a few simple steps in adding social science data services in academic libraries.

Algorithmic Process

Some decision-making processes are uncomfortable. Many of us do not like to make significant decisions, such as whether to have a child, solely based on social science research. We do not like to choose randomly, even in cases where flipping a coin is plainly the wisest choice. We are often reluctant to defer to another person, even if we believe that the other person is wiser, and have similar reservations about appealing to powerful algorithms. And, while we are comfortable with considering and weighing different options, there is something strange about deciding solely on a purely algorithmic process, even one that takes place in our own heads.What is the source of our discomfort? We do not present a decisive theory here—and, indeed, the authors have clashing views over some of these issues—but we lay out the arguments for two (consistent) explanations. The first is that such impersonal decision-making processes are felt to be a threat to our autonomy. In all of the examples above, it is not you who is making the decision, it is someone or something else. This is to be contrasted with personal decision-making, where, to put it colloquially, you “own” your decision, though of course you may be informed by social science data, recommendations of others, and so on. A second possibility is that such impersonal decision-making processes are not seen as authentic, where authentic decision making is one in which you intentionally and knowledgably choose an option in a way that is “true to yourself.” Such decision making can be particularly important in contexts where one is making a life-changing decision of great import, such as the choice to emigrate, start a family, or embark on a major career change.

Abstract The paper underscores the place of theories in organizing social science data and experience. It holds that theories are indispensable to social research (The North-South divide notwithstanding), in view of the fact that the framework of knowledge and experience within which theories are established make a meaningful explanation of the world phenomenon reasonably possible. It delineates political philosophy and history of ideas from theory and thus, takes care of common mistake social scientists make differentiating between them. Furthermore, the paper on one hand, takes on the scientific requisites of theory such as assumption, concepts (and their functions), hypothesis (and its characteristics typology), law, models, paradigm and provides lucid conceptual analysis of each with a view to showing their relatedness to theory but not as synonyms to it. On the other hand, we singled out dependency theory in its emanation from knowledge and experience of underdevelopment of Third World countries, as the first and perhaps most relevant theoretic explanation of Africa’s underdevelopment. The paper posits that a good theory that will serve as a rudder for formulation of research questions, problem statement, as well as sustain the data analysis, and findings must parade some, if not all of the following qualities: precision and testability, empirical validity, parsimony, stimulation, and practicability.
