Doctoral Students’ Competences of Using Online Resources for Research Purposes in Network Society

Validación de una escala para medir la competencia digital en estudiantes de posgrado

“…Por otra parte, Olehnovica et al (2013), comentan que está constituida por cinco dimensiones: a) aprendizaje, contempla conocimiento y adquisición; b) informacional, es la adquisición, evaluación y uso de la información en ambientes digitales; c) comunicativa, consiste en la comunicación interpersonal y social; d) cultura digital, concierne a la práxis social y cultural del conocimiento en ambientes digitales; y e) tecnológica, tiene referencia al conocimiento y dominio tecnológico en entornos virtuales.

The role of libraries in teaching doctoral students to become information-literate researchers

“…Doctoral students should have an understanding of the scholarly communication process including publishing articles and books, presenting at scientific conferences, contributing to conference proceedings and knowing how information is disseminated in general (including the valorization of research results for society at large through the press, popular and/or trade journals, blogs, social media and so forth). However, doctoral students tend not to have an understanding of the scholarly communication process, and therefore are not familiar with many of the available dissemination channels, not the least of which is the online dissemination of their research (Olehnovica et al, 2013). It should be noted that scholarly communication, like many other forms of communication in the twenty-first century, is changing rapidly.…”

Olehnovica et al (2013) recommend including digital fluency in doctoral studies, composed of ICT skills for participating in global networks, conducting and sharing research, managing research workflow and archiving information. These skills are needed to participate fully in scholarly communication and modern knowledge production in the academy.…”
