Research in social sciences and humanities plays a fundamental role in understanding and transforming society. This editorial highlights the importance of knowledge production in complex and interconnected contexts, addressing contemporary challenges such as inequality, climate change, and the democratization of knowledge. It emphasizes the ethical commitment of research, the training of new researchers, and the need for accessible dissemination of knowledge.
