Two main findings were presented to the broad global diasporic community:
First, after two years and a half the diaspora management understanding even in the online platform has been dramatically shifted. Thank to the ArtemanGorka Etxabe and EuroHelp, I directed an online survey research process by gathering 419 responses out of the N=1385, by achieving more than 30% of response rate. Confirming the main hypothesis of this #research, two main insights could be revealed:
1. 84% of responses expressed high concerns of their #data #privacy
2. 62% of responses embraced as emerging digital citizenship trend the so-called #digital #nomadism
These findings have been recently published in the top journal Globalizations (Taylor & Francis Group; #ImpactFactor 2.5; #CiteScore 4.7) through the following article in #OpenAccess entitled:
‘#Blockchain-driven Digital Nomadism in the Basque e-Diaspora’

Second, as a result of this article, another article was also published in parallel by examining how emerging and disruptive technologies related to #ArtificialIntelligence #AI could affect #diaspora management and platforms including: #Blockchain, #DAOs, #DataCooperatives, #Metaverse, and #ChatGPT
These findings have been recently published as well in the top journal #Futures (Elsevier; #ImpactFactor 3.0; #CiteScore 6.4) through the following article in #OpenAccess entitled:
‘Disruptive Technologies for e-Diasporas: Blockchain, DAOs, Data Cooperatives, Metaverse, and ChatGPT’
