Abstract

Background. The development of digital technology, especially social media, has changed how information is disseminated and accessed. Social media is essential in communicating the results of humanities and social sciences research. However, the impact of social media on the effectiveness and reach of research dissemination in this area has yet to be studied. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the impact of social media on disseminating research in the humanities and social sciences. The focus is to evaluate how social media affects public reach, interaction, and acceptance of research results. Method. This study uses a mixed methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative analysis. The quantitative data was collected through an online survey involving 300 humanities and social sciences researchers. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 20 selected researchers. Descriptive statistical analysis is used to identify patterns and trends, while thematic analysis is used to explore insights from interviews. Results. The results showed that social media significantly increased public reach and interaction with humanities and social sciences research. Researchers reported increased visibility and public engagement of their work through Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn platforms. However, there are also concerns about the quality of interactions and the risk of spreading inaccurate information. Conclusion. This study concludes that social media significantly impacts the dissemination of research in the humanities and social sciences, especially in increasing public reach and interaction. However, to maximize the benefits, appropriate strategies are needed to manage risks and ensure the quality of interactions. The study recommends developing guidelines and training for researchers to utilize social media effectively in disseminating their research results.

Abstract

Background. The erosion of public trust in government institutions has become a critical global concern, driven largely by persistent issues of corruption, inefficiency, and opaque administrative processes. Amid this trust deficit, blockchain technology—especially Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)—has emerged as a promising tool to rebuild transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement in the public sector. Purpose. This study aims to examine how blockchain can be strategically implemented to restore social trust by enhancing transparency in public sector transactions. Method. This study uses a qualitative method supported by several case studies, this study analyzes the initiative of real world blockchain adoption in countries such as Estonia, the United Arab Emirates, and Indonesia. Data was collected through analysis of policy documents, expert interviews, and comparative evaluation of the DLT -based public administration framework. Results. The findings indicate that blockchain’s immutable and decentralized architecture significantly mitigates information asymmetry, reduces opportunities for fraud, and enables real-time auditing of government activities. Moreover, smart contract integration allows for automatic enforcement of public service agreements, further reinforcing institutional integrity. However, the study also highlights critical challenges such as legal uncertainties, technological literacy gaps, and resistance to institutional change that may hinder effective implementation. Conclusion. In conclusion, while blockchain is not a panacea for all governance issues, it presents a powerful foundation for restoring social trust when embedded within a broader ecosystem of legal reform, digital literacy, and civic participation. This research contributes to the growing discourse on digital governance by offering a conceptual and empirical basis for blockchain-enabled transparency in the public sector.
