Descripción
Sumario:This work features survey and discussion of Brazilian work about digital citizenship in the field of information science, with a focus on the social participation. It´s an exploratory and descriptive, bibliographical research conducted through content analysis of the selected publications. From the literature research were raised eleven works published in the last ten years in scientific journals, academic events or graduate programs in information science, directly related to the subject in question. Objects, goals and contributions of each work are synthesized and presented. Then, it presents and discusses a framework with the summary of studies, including aspects of digital citizenship identified in each job. As a result, it was observed that most of the research pointed problems which impact directly on the exercise of citizenship. That´s because, according to the researchers, part of the initiatives in this theme is surrounded by a speech of participation with no practical effects, with little or no influence on the political decision-making process. On the other hand, were also presented studies that demonstrated the consolidation and the trend of the use of open government data for a new model of digital governance, which represents a major breakthrough for digital citizenship in Brazil.
