methodological option that could be applied in the training of transdisciplinary researchers is presented, fulfilling the characteristic features of the perspective transdisciplinary. The proposed contemplates four phases: 1). Contextual, documentary and field research, 2). Self-research, 3). Experimental research and 4). Research of impacts. The literature indicates that transdisciplinary research address real-world problems, contextualized, focused on space and place and evidenced scientifically, knowing general and specific contexts, addressing the problems and the solutions with actors that live them. The researcher subject should comply with scientific profile, creative, systemic and transdisciplinary, with attitudes of patience, tolerance, rigor, conscience, etc. The research is focused from the beginning, collaborative and participatory, integrating disciplines and not disciplines, integrating tools in general methodological, systemic and non-systemic, etc. Finally, in relation to impact: the proposed solution must be tested and evaluated in real world, as well as contemplated the communicating results to scientists and non-scientists, etc.

“…The topic of employee-centred CSR is gaining attention as a result of the increased complexity of the workplace and public pressure for CSR initiatives. Nascimento and Pólvora (2016) explain that the complexity of issues concerning sustainability is increasing, requiring an interdisciplinary approach and transdisciplinary modes of knowledge and practice. There is, thus, a need to simultaneously address the environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions of sustainability, involving multiple stakeholders.…”

Purpose This paper aims to study the knowledge development and research dissemination on employee-centred CSR research through a social network approach by adopting bibliometric analysis. Design/methodology/approach By using the bibliometric data obtained from Scopus, descriptive analysis using social network analysis together with visualisation tool to examine the knowledge development and research dissemination on employee-centred CSR. The publications were identified by limiting search in Scopus database through keywords, namely, Corporate Social Responsibility, Employee and/or Internal Corporate Social Responsibility, from 2000 to 2018 in all document types and access type. The data were analysed by year, source of publication, author, country, affiliation, subject area and term analysis. Findings The findings reveal that the Journal of Business Ethics and Social Responsibility Journal are the two key journals publishing in employee-centred CSR. The USA and the UK are the two main countries that dominate the publication production. Most of the publications are in the area of business, management and accounting. Main publications are contributed by Andriukaitiene, R., Swaen, V. and Vveinhardt, J. The number of publication increases marginally from year to year. More focus linkages were established between employee-centred CSR with organisational commitment and firm performance in the late 2016. Research limitations/implications The analysis and findings are only limited to data retrieved from the Scopus database from year 2000 to 2018 on 31 December 2018. Besides, the selection of the quality criteria is based on researchers’ definition of suitable empirical basis. Practical implications The findings of this paper provide insights to the researchers on the development of CSR research has expanded to internal stakeholders. It also contributes by identifying the sources of research and its development trends in employee-centred CSR research. Social implications The findings provide a holistic picture of domino effects of CSR initiatives in organisational behaviour. It also further reinforces the awareness internal CSR being another important perspective of CSR. Originality/value The originality of this paper lies in its contribution in the bibliometric approach to study the dissemination trend of employee-centred CSR research from the Scopus database.

“…Chacin, Oozu, & Iwata, 2016). Open technology referred to the development of accessible, technologically advanced outcomes (Manton et al, 2016), and one source examined the transdisciplinary involvement of social sciences in the development and adoption of sustainable, appropriate technologies (Nascimento & Pólvora, 2015). Open design platform referred to a set of predefined standards, parts, assembly details, or software that enable replication and modification of solutions in the context of the platform (Betthauser et al, 2014).…”

“…With regard to open outcomes and processes, open-to-participate processes were espoused as a crucial element of open design to achieve transdisciplinarity, especially participation from social sciences, which in turn was seen necessary for the cultural aspect of sustainability (Nascimento & Pólvora, 2015). All these theoretical potentials were discussed in the literature regarding open outcomes of making and hybrid practices, some of which were illustrated through practical explorations.…”

This study reports on the results of a systematic literature review on 'open design' in academic fields including and beyond design and HCI. The review investigates how studies are framed as open design and open-source design (including 'open hardware'): how researchers contribute to conceptual theorizing about open design or study its practical operationalization, in do-ityourself 'making,' manufacturing and practices in-between these domains. Most of the papers reviewed were empirical studies from diverse fields. Open design was analyzed not only as contributions and solutions, but also as open-to-participate processes, openly shared processes, and open, closed, and modular (open and closed) outcomes. Various research fields presented an open design framing as an alternative to the status quo: new ways to do business and/or to foster socio-environmental sustainability. On the manufacturing side, open design was sought especially to accelerate innovation cycles; on the making side, it was espoused to foster democratization. However, the studies reviewed indicated that companies do not appear to develop much beyond business-as-usual. From the research perspective, the conceptual potential of open design to promote sustainability saw little practical exploration. Additionally, issues around open design community governance Yekta Bakırlıoğlu
