Abstract

Editorial Letter
Volume 06, Number 11 | January–June 2026

The Academia Mexicana de Investigación y Docencia en Innovación (AMIDI), through the Editorial Board of the journal Scientia et PRAXIS, presents Volume 06, Number 11, corresponding to the January–June 2026 period, as a regular issue. This edition features original and unpublished scientific works that explore how multidisciplinary activity serves as a driving force for innovation with impact on sustainable development and social transformation. The contributions included in this volume stand out for their articulation between theoretical knowledge (Scientia) and practical application (Praxis), in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The articles presented in this issue are as follows:

1 Toward a Sustainable Innovation in the Faculty Evaluation Process: A Systematic Review of AI, Data Science, and NLP Applications in Higher Education.
(Article written in Spanish)
Authors: Cristian Ulises Barenca-Sotelo, Ma. Del Rocío Maciel-Arellano, Víctor Manuel Larios-Rosillo

Universidad de Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Jalisco.

Summary: The article analyzes, through a 2019–2024 systematic review, the use of artificial intelligence, data science, and natural language processing in university teaching evaluation. Its main

contribution lies in shifting traditional evaluation based on averages and closed-ended surveys toward analytical models capable of interpreting student comments, identifying performance patterns, and supporting institutional decision-making. The proposal is linked to process innovation, the Oslo Manual, and SDGs 4 and 9, highlighting its relevance for multicampus public universities. Its value resides in integrating technology, sustainability, and academic improvement, although further empirical validation is required in specific institutional contexts.

1. 2  Emotions and Machine Learning in Innovation within Mexico’s Sustainable Used- Vehicle Market.
   (Article written in Spanish)
   Authors: Francisco Jacobo Murillo-López.

   Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, México.

   Summary: The article analyzes how consumer emotions influence loyalty within Mexico’s used- vehicle market, integrating neuroeconomics, consumer behavior, and machine learning. Based on a sample of 1,000 buyers in Aguascalientes, it compares logistic regression and Random Forest, showing the greater predictive capacity of the nonlinear model. It identifies satisfaction and safety as drivers of loyalty, while fear and confusion operate as barriers. Its contribution is mainly aligned with SDG 12, through responsible consumption and circular economy, and with SDG 9, through process innovation based on predictive analytics for sustainable business decision-making in contemporary regional automotive markets.

2. 3  Gender, Culture of Peace, and Citizen Participation as Evidence-Based Social Innovation for Sustainable Governance.
   (Article written in English).
   Authors: Tania Marcela Hernández-Rodríguez, César Omar Mora-Pérez Universidad de Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Jalisco, México.

   Summary: The article analyzes how gender moderates the relationship between culture of peace, citizen participation, and the perception of neighborhood conflicts in urban communities within the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area. Using a cross-sectional quantitative approach and a sample of 229 residents, it applies validated scales, exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, Pearson correlations, and interaction regression. Its contribution lies in supporting evidence-based social innovation interventions for sustainable urban governance with a gender perspective, aligned with SDGs 5, 11, and 16. The study provides relevant empirical evidence, although its scope is limited by its cross-sectional design and metropolitan geographic concentration.

3. 4  Extended CAITIZEN: A PLS-SEM Study of AI-Assisted Sustainable Citizenship Innovation.

   (Article written in English).

   Author: Juan Mejía-Trejo
   Universidad de Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Jalisco, México.

Summary: The article quantitatively validates the extended CAITIZEN model through PLS-SEM, proposing an explanatory-predictive structure for AI-assisted sustainable citizenship. Its central contribution is the transformation of a previous qualitative framework into a measurable model, in which critical AI literacy predicts ethical awareness, data justice, human-AI collaboration, and metacognitive transparency. The results confirm relevant effects on CAITIZEN, except for the direct effect of ethical responsibility. The study strengthens educational innovation aligned with SDGs 4 and 9, while acknowledging limitations related to non-probabilistic sampling, cross-sectional design, and

a student-based sample, thus requiring future comparative validations across diverse university institutional contexts.
