    Communicate the risk of SARS-COV-2: Televised reports from the Chilean Ministry of Health
    (Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, 2022) Rocamora, Verónica; Broitman, Claudio; Ramírez, Yanira Olivares; Provoste, María Paz Toloza
    Given the relevance of communication in risk situations to deliver timely information to affected groups, as well as its ability to generate collective meanings, this research aims to analyze the communication deployment of the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile from the perspective of risk communication. From a qualitative approach, we conducted a reflective thematic analysis of 88 videos corresponding to the daily coronavirus reports broadcast by Chilean open television, between March 17 and June 12, 2020. Three stages established are: triumphalist, tension, and crisis; in those, we observe a communication focused on promoting the government's management rather than delivering timely information to the population. The use of some discursive resources stands out, such as the metaphor of war or individual responsibility, which generate tension with the need to generate collective meanings to mobilize the population. © 2022 Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile.

    Shaping scientific work in universities in Chile: exploring the role of research management instruments
    (Routledge, 2023) Marchant-Cavieres, David; Fardella, Carla; Valenzuela, Fernando A.; Espinosa-Cristia, Juan Felipe; Varas, Paulina E.; Broitman, Claudio
    Research management instruments (RMIs) are organizational mechanisms that shape scientific work and influence the trajectory of scientific fields within universities. This qualitative study examines 80 RMIs implemented by eight research-oriented universities in Chile between 1998 and 2021. The findings reveal that these institutions employ policies prioritizing competition as the primary means of accessing funding and opportunities, contributing to the concentration of resources among established researchers participating in international circuits. Consequently, RMIs establish hierarchies within the research community based on individual merit, disregarding the material conditions that may hinder productivity for certain actors. Furthermore, these instruments discourage participation in national and regional scientific communication networks. By highlighting the impact of RMIs, this research enhances our understanding of the organizational mechanisms that shape scientific work in Chilean universities, offering insights into the challenges and opportunities researchers face in the country’s higher education system. Future studies should explore alternative participation circuits within Chilean universities and compare experiences across Latin American regions to understand how local institutions align with global evaluation criteria. © 2023 The Author(s).
