Introduction to the Special Section: Digital Innovation for Social Development and Environmental Action
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In 2022, we launched a call for papers for a special section on digital innovation for social development and environmental action. The call was motivated by the need for the information systems discipline to move beyond talking about sustainability to taking actions to address important challenges facing society and the planet. Many authors responded to the call and we are pleased to present the fruits of their labors. In this introduction to the special section, we discuss the motivations for the special section, explain how the special section came together, highlight key points of interest in the eight papers that make up the special section, and reflect on future directions for information systems research.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
