The introduction of new bibliometric indicators for measuring scientific work puts the university and scientific libraries in Bulgaria in the need of creation of databases with citations of professors and scientists in every scientific organization. Each country creates its own citation index. The purpose of the article is to analyse existing bibliographic practises for classifying scientific references and the examine the question for the creation of a National platform to unite them, as well as creating a National Reference Register, in particular one for social studies. It is time for us to decide who will manage the combined citation document resources and how to create a Bulgarian index for scientific citation or a National Citation Index, in general and one for the social studies in particular. Social studies are less represented than the other branches of science, for example, in platforms like Scopus and Web of Science, which are the most influential platforms in the world and publishing and citation in them has more weight in the formation of the minimal national requirements for academic growth. I am using the historical approach and comparative analysis to show the practical experience of countries that have created such Registers and have achieved excellent results. I also offer for discussion a model to build a hierarchical structure for exchange of quoted data. The university libraries need exact criteria which citation to list and how the Bulgarian index for scientific citation in general will be formed, as well as the one for social studies.

Screens have gradually become a part of our daily routine, becoming the activity that occupies most of our daily hours of activity. It is therefore not trivial to study how they are used, especially when training on them has been, in most cases, autodidactic. In this regard, the subject of media competence arises as a set of skills, abilities, attitudes, and aptitudes that all people should possess to use and produce information in a critical and active way, in a communicational ecosystem that is increasingly reticulated, overloaded, and full of pseudo-content and misinformation. The current study, with an exploratory nature and quantitative design, analyzes the level of media competence of 1676 students and 524 professors from universities in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and Venezuela. Among the emerging findings is evidence that the level of technological knowledge and interaction, linked to digital skills, is not only dependent on age, which contradicts the theories of “digital natives” and “migrants.” This research also reveals that, in general, the levels of media competence do not exceed the medium-low scale in both analyzed groups, when aspects such as language, technology, interaction, production and dissemination, ideology and values, and esthetics are taken into account. These results reveal that the university is not exempt from the social exclusion generated by the lack of media, digital, and information skills, coinciding with the results for Spain of the Digital literacy and education: country reports on the need to reduce the digital divide, which does not necessarily occur for age or geographical reasons. Resumen Paulatinamente las pantallas han comenzado a ser parte de nuestro quehacer, convirtiéndose en la actividad que más ocupa nuestras horas de actividad diaria. Por ello no resulta baladí estudiar de qué manera son utilizadas, sobre todo cuando la formación sobre las mismas ha sido, en la mayoría de los casos, autodidáctica. En esta línea surge la competencia mediática, como un conjunto de destrezas, habilidades, actitudes y aptitudes que todas las personas deberían poseer para consumir y producir información de manera crítica y activa, en un ecosistema comunicacional cada vez más reticular, sobresaturado y repleto de pseudo-contenidos y desinformación. En este trabajo, de naturaleza exploratoria y diseño cuantitativo, se analiza el nivel de competencia mediática de 1676 estudiantes y 524 profesores de universidades de España, Portugal, Brasil y Venezuela. Entre los resultados emergentes se demuestra que el nivel de conocimientos y de interacción tecnológicos, vinculado a las competencias digitales, no depende únicamente de la edad, lo que contradice las teorías de los «nativos» y «migrantes» digitales. Este estudio también revela que, en general, los niveles de competencia mediática no supera la escala medio-bajo en ambos colectivos de análisis, si se tienen en cuenta aspectos como lenguaje, tecnología, interacción, producción y difusión, ideología y valores, y estética. Estos resultados revelan que la universidad no está exenta de la exclusión social que genera la carencia de aptitudes mediáticas, digitales e informativas, coincidiendo con los resultados correspondientes a España del informe Digital literacy and education: Country reports sobre la necesidad de reducir la brecha digital, la cual no necesariamente ocurre por razones etarias o geográficas.

This article offers a critical review of the historical literature on the National Education Association’s (NEA) 1916 Committee on Social Studies (CSS) report, the document generally believed to have launched the social studies movement in American secondary schools. The review begins with a critical analysis of the four most pervasive interpretations of the report. Drawing upon these interpretations, the author suggests that there are three central issues at the heart of these disputes. The first is over the ideological origins of the report; the second, its institutional origins; and the third, its epistemological position. It is argued that the influence of John Dewey is the key to overcoming these disagreements by suggesting that the members of the Committee agreed upon a core of shared beliefs that reflected his philosophical ideas.
