The case of Eä: academic journal and social network”, at the 12th National Workshop & 7th Latin American Congress for the History of Science and Technology that took place on November 12-15, 2010 in Bahia, Brazil.

There we presented the experience of creating and developing our publication, its achievements, challenges and potential, aiming to promote other experiences of ITC application for research publication that may converge in common work platforms.
