This article examines some challenges related to the operationalization of research data management services in academia, mainly in Canada. Based on a literature review, we show that several structural challenges hinder the adoption of good practices in RDM, particularly in terms of raising awareness among researchers and students, operationalization at the institutional level and integration of good practices into the research culture. By mobilizing empirical and analytical sources from different national contexts, we propose a transversal reading of RDM, at the intersection of institutional, disciplinary and organizational logics. Three main issues are analyzed: (1) the challenges of raising awareness of RDM among researchers; (2) organizational and structural difficulties within universities; and (3) limited monitoring of the policy by the federal granting agencies. We also propose some possible solutions to overcome the challenges identified in the scientific literature.

This article reflects on the process of constructing and conducting interviews with children, emphasizing the microethical moments that arise, explored through two theoretical-methodological “clues.” It examines the ethical challenges and tensions inherent in research shaped by adult-centric and developmentalist logics. We present strategies to address these limitations, including recognizing children as active subjects, using a registry of informed agreement in video format, engaging in joint negotiation, employing chat-interviews, and encouraging the use of drawing. Through an “epistemological vigilance,” the study advocates for a balance between protecting children and ensuring their meaningful participation, contributing to ethical practices in research involving children.

Paulo Freire is considered one of the world’s most notable thinkers in the field of education. Even so, an increasing political polarization in Brazil, his home country, led to the development of a movement against him and his work. In this essay, I analyzed the Brazilian anti-Freire movement using his framework, as an imaginative exercise of a dialogue between him and its arguments. For that, I reviewed the main discourses of the movement and, through content analysis, categorized them in three categories: ideological disagreement, contradiction, and groundless. Next, I analyzed the arguments, relying on Freire’s theories. I concluded that this phenomenon ends up confirming his theories. The resistance to changes in the traditional educational system reflects his concept of fear of freedom. For the oppressors, his pedagogy is dangerous for threatening their position of power. Furthermore, while the oppressed reproduce the dominant ideology, they are part of this reactionary movement.

Beginning with the question of blind peer review in the shifting landscape of multimedia publishing, and concluding with reflections on knowledge-creation in today's academic culture, Riecken, Leggo, and Paré respond to Riecken's podcast-article and reflect on the challenges of multimedia and other non-traditional forms of scholarship for the academy and for scholarly communication. Leggo and Paré were the peer reviewers for Riecken's article, which is part of this same issue and can be listened to here: http://mje.mcgill.ca/article/view/9061. Since they hail from the same vicinity, they convened an author-peer reviewer round-table discussion on the issues raised in writing and reviewing a multimedia article. We are pleased to share their conversation.

By increasing the human capacity to acquire, produce, disseminate and consume information at an unprecedented level and value, digital innovations influence consumer behavior and open up new possibilities for creating value. The question which thus arises concerns the way in which these technological changes and the rise of intangible assets in our societies affect on the one hand consumer behavior, on the other hand value creation, business models, and company performances, as well as their financing and governance. The questions on these three points generate many avenues of research, developed in this review of the literature.
