Authors: Jiang Tingting , Lin Tianqianjin , Shangguan Lina , Wang Ying 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTThis study took a user‐oriented approach to investigating the effectiveness of a government WeChat official account in terms of service delivery. A transaction log file containing 42,188,760 clickstream records was obtained from an active account and analyzed at the footprint and movement levels. The current clickstream data analysis revealed the underutilization of the services provided by the account, the failure of the three navigational portals, and the poor completion rates of the tasks users performed on the account.
Evaluating ontology coverage and internal structure to better align patients with clinical trials
Authors: Lee Jooho , Blake Catherine , McInnes Bridget T. 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTRecruiting patients for a clinical trial is a time‐consuming activity that can delay recruiting and the reporting of clinical trial results. Ontologies can be used to align the inclusion criteria of a clinical trial with candidate patients but such an approach requires that (a) the concepts within an ontology adequately cover patient characteristics that are likely to be used in a clinical trial; (b) the quantitative similarity scores decline gracefully patient characteristics become less suited to the trial protocol; and (c) the alignment must be robust despite surface level differences in how eligibility features are described. The concepts are extracted from grant proposals and eight archetype breast cancer patients are mapped as matching a breast cancer clinical trial protocol does. The Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) and National Cancer Institute Thesaurus (NCIt) are evaluated with respect to coverage, connectivity, standard similarity properties and the granularity of rankings.
Getting creative in everyday life: Investigating arts and crafts hobbyists' information behavior
Authors: Lee Lo , Ocepek Melissa G. , Makri Stephann , Buchanan George , McKay Dana 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTWhile there has been increasing interest in how creative professionals find information to drive creative outputs, previous information behavior research has largely ignored how arts and crafts hobbyists look for information sources in their everyday lives. To fill this literature gap, we conducted interviews and observations with arts and crafts hobbyists to find out how they conceive potential DIY projects. The findings highlight three themes: the dearth of human sources, the prevalence of domain‐specific information, and the use of self‐curated information. In addition to empirical results, this work also broadens the understanding of information behavior in an arts and crafts context by studying populations beyond professional artists.

Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTDrawing from the functional approach to volunteerism, the aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the motives driving people's willingness to use a mobile crowdsourcing app to voluntarily help others in a smart city. Data were collected from 125 individuals. Preliminary results indicate that there are three categories of motives (i.e. Values, Protective and Professional) underlying helping behaviors in a smart city.
Online news sharing among Taiwan's middle‐aged and elderly populaces: Influencing factors
Authors: Liu Chieh , Wu Tingyu , Chang Wayland 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTOnline news sharing has emerged as being influential in how certain news is targeted toward and received by certain audiences. Especially for the middle‐aged and elderly populaces, online fake news' increased presence has made such sharing more complex. With much of Taiwan's middle‐aged and elderly populaces with mobile phones, this study analyzes the influencing factors—namely motivation and willingness ones—of such populaces' online news sharing practices. analyses that were approached via a survey, an adapted questionnaire, and several quantitative analyses.Motivation‐wise, weighed more were communication exchange, knowledge sharing, and social interaction factors. Willingness‐wise, the news' authenticity strength level was the most influential in such populaces' mindsets to share the highlighted online news or not. And differing education levels have differing social interaction plus knowledge sharing‐based motivations. Overall, such results reflect the unique considerations of more information literacy education‐related initiatives for Taiwan's middle‐aged and elderly populaces in online news sharing practices.
Understanding formal scholarly communication in information science by exploring generational evolution of academic writing patterns
Authors: Lou Wen , Chen Jiao , Gorichanaz Tim 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTProfessional academic writing skills can improve the validity of scholarly communication. Aiming to reveal the generational differences of academic writing patterns, by applying quantitative linguistic analysis to explore 53 information scientists in China and 2,328 papers of them, we found that (1) the writing pattern evolves smoothly, (2) sentences that scientists compose in a paper have become longer and longer, and syntax has become more and more complex as time goes by, and (3) scientists tend to be more and more cautious on choosing expression manners and norm words. This research will continue the matters of exact relationships between the age differences and writing patterns, and will be extended to other languages.
Understanding the relevance between text and images in disaster‐related social media posts
Authors: Mao Jin , Zhang Ji , Lu Kun , Li Gang 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTDisaster‐related social media posts are often attached with images, either relevant or irrelevant to the text. The relevance between text and attached images can be indicative of the quality of posts because relevant images bring enriched information beyond text. A relevance framework is proposed to depict four aspects of relevance between text and images. A dataset about Typhoon Mangkhut was collected from a microblog application in China. A random sample of 3,000 posts along with 6,217 images were independently annotated. In addition, an automated text and image similarity measure is introduced. Annotation results show that more images are relevant to text on the aspects of object and scene relevance than on literal and behavior relevance. Irrelevant images account for roughly 10% of all images. Text and image pairs with different relevance aspects show different similarity scores. The goal of this study is to improve our understanding of the relationship between text and images in disaster‐related social media posts, which have implications for applications based on text and images integration.

Authors: Mehra Bharat , Sikes Everette Scott , Singh Vandana 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTThis poster highlights a work‐in‐progress prototype of a geographic information system (GIS4SCA‐RL) to map rural libraries' community engagement with external stakeholders in the Southern and Central Appalachian (SCA) region. It presents a prototype visualization platform for the audience to apply its pilot framework/design for visually representing their own community‐based information research in a geo‐spatial context. The GIS4SCA‐RL informs a globally networked information society of the efforts of SCA rural libraries via multi‐media, web‐based hyperlinked collections visually integrated to generate greater impact/relevance in the 21st century.
Using text mining and data visualization to trace the disciplinary boundaries of collective memory studies
Authors: Roeschley Ana 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTHalbwachs first coined the term “collective memory” in 1941 (Halbwachs, 1992). Since then collective memory has permeated a number of disciplines including history, psychology, political science, and information science. In applying the concept of collective memory to library and information sciences (LIS), it has been most widely used in archival science. The purpose of this study is to examine if collective memory scholarship translates across disciplinary boundaries. To examine the wider field of collective memory literature, this study employs text mining and visualization in an analysis of scholarly articles on the topic. This initial study shows that collective memory literature is overwhelmingly concerned with similar topics across disciplines and has further potential for archival scholars and other information scientists beyond disciplinary silos.
Identifying the collaboration styles of research students
Authors: Rolf Harry 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTToday engaging in collaboration is an important factor affecting the success of research students. Having insight into the social dynamics of collaboration can enhance their decision making when engaging with researchers, projects and institutions. This poster reports on the results of a study that investigated collaboration by research students at the University of Tasmania using co‐authorship information on research publications. The study applied a visual analytic method for exploring and interpreting the social dynamics of collaboration. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, providing insight into the roles of co‐authors and revealing the presence of functional research teams with different styles of collaboration.
An analysis of published journals for papers posted on bioRXiv
Authors: Tsunoda Hiroyuki , Sun Yuan , Nishizawa Masaki , Liu Xiaomin , Amano Kou 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTThis study investigated papers posted on bioRXiv. In 2013–19, 17,818 papers were published in academic journals, accounting for 40.67% of the total publication. Among them, the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection recorded journals of 16,525 published papers, accounting for 92.74% of the total. The following conclusions can be drawn. (1) Results indicate scientists' attention to the preprint system. (2) A large number of papers still use traditional publishing as the ultimate goal. (3) Because the posted papers scrutinized in this study were published in journals with a high impact factor, they have attracted the attention of many scientists. Nevertheless, we believe that the preprint platform will play a greater role from the academic exchange perspective.
The use of theory in research relating to open access: Practitioner perspectives
Authors: Wakeling Simon , Pinfield Stephen , Bawden David , Robinson Lyn 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTThe relationship between theory and practice has long been considered problematic for many applied academic disciplines. In this short paper we report preliminary findings from a two‐year research project investigating the ways and the extent that theory and practice have interacted in the development of open‐access (OA) approaches to the publishing and dissemination of research outputs. Based on interviews with practitioners and researchers working on OA related issues, we explore the ways in which theory is (and isn't) of value to practice. We find that while practitioners acknowledge that theory has the potential to improve understanding, bestow credibility on work, and codify existing knowledge about OA, they also perceive it as “mood music” to the practical work of OA, lacking explicit links to action.
“Active followers”: An emerging role of information behaviour among group holiday makers
Authors: Ye Edwin Mouda , Du Jia Tina , Ashman Helen , Hansen Preben , Huang Songshan (Sam) , Sigala Marianna 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTIn an era of information overload, people often work together on information‐intensive projects. Group holidaying is such an example where people plan and conduct trips together. In this poster paper we present preliminary findings from an ongoing investigation of collaborative information behaviour of group holidaymakers. Through a grounded‐theory approach, preliminary findings show that not all members of the travel group engage equally in the information search. A role labelled “active followers” is identified and the role‐taker's contribution to the group's information seeking and decision‐making is discussed. This paper calls for attention to heterogeneity within collaborating groups and invites further discussion of research into this topic in information science community.

ABSTRACTThis poster reports preliminary user‐testing results on four different methods to add terms to a phenotype ontology. A total of 31 graduate students from UA iSchool and three senior botanists participated in two different experiments. Results suggest the Quick Form and WebProtege are preferred by biologists and WikiData and Wizard are not preferred for different reasons.
Putting a price on social movements: A case study of #metoo on instagram
Authors: Afnan Tanisha , Huang Hsiao‐Ying , Sclafani Maria , Bashir Masooda 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTSocial media has enhanced the dissemination of information relating to specific social movements, allowing activists to quickly mobilize and more easily communicate. However, the practice of “hashtag activism” has unforeseen consequences; it gives users with commercial interests a great deal of control over when and how hashtags are utilized. To investigate the intersection between commodification, social movements, and social media, we examined the use of #metoo and three other #metoo‐related hashtags on the popular social networking platform Instagram as a case study. The aim of the #metoo social movement, which gained traction in 2017–2018, was to raise awareness on the issue of sexual violence. We collected a sample of 200 randomly selected posts to analyze their content and relevance to the movement. Our findings not only indicate that 1 in 5 posts within our sample had a commercial aspect, but also revealed a variety of commodifying strategies employed by the users.
Search is the future? The young search less for files
Authors: Bergman Ofer , Israeli Tamar , Whittaker Steve 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTThere are two main ways to retrieve files: hierarchical folder navigation and query‐based search using a search engine. Research consistently shows that users prefer retrieving files using folder navigation, rather than more flexible query‐based search. But desktop search engines continue to improve, so does this mean that younger generations rely more on search as their usage habits were formed when experiencing more effective search? This study tested age effects on search use by asking 289 participants to retrieve 1,557 of their shared files. Counterintuitively, our results showed a positive correlation between age and search percentage, with participants over fifty searching over four times as much as participants in their twenties. Results were confirmed by an n = 653 combined data analysis. A possible explanation is that older participants forget the location of their files. We discuss the deep neuro‐cognitive roots of navigation preference which may also explain our findings.
Noticing the unnoticed: Lines of work in everyday life information practices
Authors: Dalmer Nicole , McKenzie Pam 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTThis paper challenges the existing dichotomy between “everyday” and “workplace” information practices and uses an expansive understanding of work to make visible the often invisible and unpaid forms of work required to make everyday life possible. After an overview of existing understandings and applications of work within LIS, two studies that take up the information work of caring for a family member living with a chronic illness demonstrate that everyday life information practices transcend domestic and organizational contexts. The unpredictability of a chronic illness leads caregivers to undertake numerous and simultaneous lines of work in their everyday and every night lives, including information, document, affective, avoidance, and articulation work, among others. We argue that using the notion of work is a strategy to acknowledge, name, and count those everyday life information practices that are so commonplace they risk becoming unnoticed.
Topics of example questions and discussion at the early stage of community building for health Q&A: A case study of health stack exchange
Authors: Fu Hengyi , Oh Sanghee 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTAs one of the most significant examples of collective intelligence, online peer production communities, such as Wikipedia and Stack Overflow, have highly contributed to reshape the knowledge infrastructure on the Web. The current volume of peer production research is vast but empirical studies regarding the early stage of community building are in a very limited number. This empirical study, therefore, presents preliminary results of community building and user‐driven issues associated with a Health Q&A site at its early stage, namely the Definition stage by the Q&A system. The method of content analysis was used to identify 4 categories with 20 subcategories of example questions and 8 categories with 23 subcategories of community building discussion threads. The example questions have shown, that the development of Health Stack Exchange was driven by cognitive instead of social or emotional motivations and social supporting questions were not much welcomed by early‐stage community members. Findings also pointed to the importance of seeking consensus about the community's ultimate goal and target user group in the start‐up stage, which could help to solve the scope definition problems.
Relations among participation, fairness and performance in collaborative learning with Wiki‐based analytics
Authors: Ng Jeremy , Hu Xiao , Luo Miyu , Chu Sam K. W. 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTUtilizing data analytics for supporting collaborative learning is under‐studied in secondary education. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Wiki and Wiki‐based learning analytics in facilitating collaborative learning in a junior secondary school, in terms of students' participation, contribution, performance, and perception. A Wiki‐based learning analytic tool, Wikiglass, was employed for visualizing statistics of students' contributions and participation (e.g., revision counts) in Wiki, on both the group and individual levels. System log, student survey and performance data were collected from students involved in a Wiki‐supported inquiry project assignment. An Unfairness Index is proposed to measure students' group work distribution. Results of statistical analyses show that fairness of group work distribution was positively related to active participation in revisions on Wiki on the group level, and the number of sentences with higher‐order thinking was related to group performance scores. On the level of individual students, Wiki‐based analytics increased the visibility of work distribution and peers' work progress and contributions which might have changed students' collaborative behaviors.
Introducing orbis: An extendable evaluation pipeline for named entity linking performance drill‐down analyses
Authors: Odoni Fabian , Braşoveanu Adrian M. P. , Kuntschik Philipp , Weichselbraun Albert 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTMost current evaluation tools are focused solely on benchmarking and comparative evaluations thus only provide aggregated statistics such as precision, recall and F1‐measure to assess overall system performance. They do not offer comprehensive analyses up to the level of individual annotations. This paper introduces Orbis, an extendable evaluation pipeline framework developed to allow visual drill‐down analyses of individual entities, computed by annotation services, in the context of the text they appear in, in reference to the entities specified in the gold standard.
A comparative study of domestic and cross‐country impact of Chinese and U.S. publications in chemistry
Authors: Cai Xiaojing , Lyu Xiaozan , Zhou Ping 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTBased on publications in Chemistry in 2015, this paper investigated the citation impact on domestic and foreign scholarly communities of Chinese and US publications, and to what extent does such impact relate to international collaboration and government funding. First‐ or corresponding authorship in international collaboration is defined as dominance and is taken into consideration. Citations to publications are designated as domestic citations (Chinese or US citations), partner citations or other citations according to overlap of countries of citing and cited publications. Significant difference exists in the two countries. Most citations of Chinese publications are from domestic and partner countries, with domestic citations being the mainstay. In contrast, US papers receive more other citations than domestic or partner citations, and citations from partner countries contribute significantly. US papers have higher global impact than those of China. High domestic citation propensity is associated with non‐international collaboration, dominance of focal country in international collaboration, and national funding support. Such phenomenon is more pronounced in Chinese papers. In other words, citation impact of Chinese publications is more limited in domestic community, whereas that of the US is more global.
Open access to research artifacts: Implementing the next generation data management plan
Authors: Stodden Victoria , Ferrini Vicki , Gabanyi Margaret , Lehnert Kerstin , Morton John , Berman Helen 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTWe describe a new vision for a Data Management Plan (DMP) that incorporates controlled vocabularies and semantic descriptions of the scholarly objects to be produced by the proposed project. We implement this vision in an open‐source web‐based DMP tool, called ezDMP, at ezdmp.org. The integrated use of structured information in ezDMP permits several important goals. First, with minimal additional effort, researchers can create DMPs with more complete information about the scholarly objects to be produced. Second, research funders can productively query this structured information to learn about repository use and other patterns of scholarly objects creation. Finally, ezDMP puts a structure in place that can support the integration of information about digital scholars objects, in an organized and systematic way, into research data management environments.
