| Abstract: | The situation of private contribution to an open-source project is considered. This case is distinguished from a simple case of public good provision through the various underlying incentives of the participants. In the modelling, these incentives come into play to form various equilibria from which conclusions on their roles can be derived. Specifically, it is shown that the agent's willingness to participate, her own need from the project, and the community's altruism play important roles in driving the project forward. |

| Abstract: | 2021 has seen increasing climate policy action and net-zero commitments by individuals, companies and governments. A crucial aspect for the transition to net-zero is the voluntary offset market, with projects relating to REDD+ amongst the most popular. Policy-makers are grappling to make such markets efficient and scalable, however, many issues undermine these efforts pertaining to additionality, permanence, leakage and property and community rights. Digitisation has also accelerated, with technologies, notably blockchain, starting to enter the climate change space. Its use is becoming increasingly common within the voluntary market and, in particular, REDD+, although such projects, are generally in proposal or pilot stages. Given the emergence of other technologies such as AI and machine learning, the technologisation of REDD+ is only likely to increase. Thus modern technologies are being seen by developers as a potential solution to issues hindering REDD+. Potential benefits arising from technology use are unlikely to fully accrue without a wider focus on what has undermined REDD+ to date. As such, there is an urgency to establish an understanding of how projects can utilise these technologies to reduce long-standing issues. To do this, we discuss these issues together with technologies’ capacity to address drawbacks of REDD+ projects. |

| Abstract: | The research presented here questions the issue of public data management in the context of three Smart City projects: what governance, what ownership, what users? A qualitative analysis of the representations and discourses on the nature and ideal-types of these projects reveals a contrast between the declarations made by the stakeholders and a more classical approach based on the opposition "Smart City" vs "stupid village". Finally, the authors associate this new management tool, the Smart City, with a new form of rational myth in which data management is at the heart of the concerns. |
| Abstract: | La recherche présentée interroge la problématique du management de la donnée publique dans le cadre de trois projets de villes intelligentes : quelle gouvernance, quelle propriété, quels utilisateurs ? Une analyse qualitative des représentations et discours portant sur la nature et idéaux-types sur ces projets laisse entrevoir un contraste entre les déclarations portés par les parties-prenantes et une approche plus classique autour de l'opposition « ville intelligente » versus « Village stupide ». Finalement, les auteurs associent ce nouvel outil de gestion qu'est la ville intelligence à une nouvelle forme de mythe rationnel dont le management de la donnée est au coeur des préoccupations. |

| Abstract: | The paper describes the full range of publishing and its purposes in the social sciences – from scholarly publishing via professional communication to societal interaction in public media – and how it is represented in five different contexts for research evaluation and funding. The five contexts are: applications for external project funding, applications for positions or promotions, indicator-based institutional funding systems, summative organizational evaluation systems, and formative organizational evaluation systems. The chapter provides a critical discussion of how publications from the social sciences may be filtered out or placed in predetermined hierarchies in these evaluation and funding contexts, and also of how the evaluation and funding procedures can be improved to appropriately represent social science research and publishing. |
