Maximized Research Impact: Effective Strategies for Increasing Citations
Full text linkThe high competitive environment has forced higher education authorities to set their strategies to improve university ranking. Citations of published papers are among the most widely used inputs to measure national and global university ranking (which accounts for 20% of QS, 30% of THE, and etc.). Therefore, from one hand, improving the citation impact of a search is one of the university manager’s strategies. On the other hand, the researchers are also looking for some helpful techniques to increase their citation record. This chapter by reviewing the relevant articles covers 48 different strategies for maximizing research impact and visibility. The results show that some features of article can help predict the number of article views and citation counts. The findings presented in this chapter could be used by university authorities, authors, reviewers, and editors to maximize the impact of articles in the scientific community
Cultural Heritage Visualization: Using Interactive Multimedia in Museum Environments
Full text linkStorytelling in museum environments can be ‘materialized’ using print and visual media formats. The use of graphical visualization techniques improves the interpretation in a narrative context, hence helps to convey information and deliver a better understanding of a story. This research was prompted by the rising use of interactive visualization techniques for ‘storytelling’ in museum environments
Proceedings of the 8th Workshop on Semantic Ambient Media Experiences (SAME 2016): Smart Cities for Better Living with HCI and UX - SEACHI Extended Papers
Full text linkDigital and interactive technologies are becoming increasingly embedded in everyday lives of people around the world. Application of technologies such as real-time, context-aware, and interactive technologies; augmented and immersive realities; social media; and location-based services has been particularly evident in urban environments where technological and sociocultural infrastructures enable easier deployment and adoption as compared to non-urban areas. There has been growing consumer demand for new forms of experiences and services enabled through these emerging technologies. We call this ambient media, as the media is embedded in the natural human living environment.
The 8th Semantic Ambient Media Workshop Experience (SAME) Proceedings where based on a collaboration between the SEACHI Workshop Smart Cities for Better Living with HCI and UX, which has been organized by UX Indonesia and was held in conjunction with Computers and Human-Computer Interaction (CHI) 2016 in San Jose, CA USA.
The extended versions of the workshop papers are freely available through http://www.ambientmediaassociation.org/Journal under open access by the International Ambient Media Association (iAMEA). iAMEA is hosting the international open access journal entitled “International Journal on Information Systems and Management in Creative eMediaâ€, and the international open access series “International Series on Information Systems and Management in Creative eMedia†(see http://www.ambientmediaassociation.org).
The International Ambient Media Association (AMEA) organizes the Semantic Ambient Media (SAME) workshop series, which took place in 2008 in conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2008 in Vancouver, Canada; in 2009 in conjunction with AmI 2009 in Salzburg, Austria; in 2010 in conjunction with AmI 2010 in Malaga, Spain; in 2011 in conjunction with Communities and Technologies 2011 in Brisbane, Australia; in 2012 in conjunction with Pervasive 2012 in Newcastle, UK; and in 2013 in conjunction with C&T 2013 in Munich, Germany; and in 2014 in conjunction with NordCHI 2014 in Helsinki, Finland.
The workshop organizers present you a fascinating crossover of latest cutting edge views on the topic of ambient media, and hope you will be enjoying the reading. We also would like to thank all the contributors, as only with their enthusiasm the workshop can become a success. At least we would like to thank the lovely organizing team of CHI 2016, the SEACHI 2016 organisers, and our programme committee members
Foreword: Publication Underwritten by Review Enrichment (PURE)
Full text linkWhat does the future of publication hold? The scientific publication environment has changed over the last few years. PURE is meant to create scientifically archival work through a transparent online mentoring/ peer review that includes more community engagement, and produces more depth of analysis of a publication is contemplated.
Where did scholarship come from and where is it going. Formal scientific community writing had a very small community until the 1800s. We now see it as the force that creates technology and innovation that drives the economy. Meanwhile the members of the communities want their newest work to be used and are putting it into new products and patenting it at unprecedented rates. In 1981 Kornfeld and Hewitt imagined a world in which all publication would be additive so we could see the way new ideas evolve. As we cover such topics, this paper also muses about how social media can infiltrate the hallowed process of scientific publication to make it more transparent, inclusive, and more thoughtfully produced
Squat & Grow: Designing Smart Human-Food Interactions in Singapore
Full text linkSquat & Grow was a two-week series of workshops, talks and field trips aimed to support a sustainable food culture in Singapore, and test alternative scenarios of the Smart Nation plan. The project encouraged citizens to participate and co-design an open platform organized around DIY low-cost technology and "smart" food practices. In this paper, we describe two Squat & Grow workshops run by tutors from Indonesia and Singapore, and show how the Smart Nation can be differently built through DIY biological and technological activities. We also demonstrate how Singapore becomes a conduit rather than a center for technological innovation and economic development within the region.
 
Review of Machine Learning Algorithms in Differential Expression Analysis
Full text linkIn biological research machine learning algorithms are part of nearly every analytical process. They are used to identify new insights into biological phenomena, interpret data, provide molecular diagnosis for diseases and develop personalized medicine that will enable future treatments of diseases. In this paper we (1) illustrate the importance of machine learning in the analysis of large scale sequencing data, (2) present an illustrative standardized workflow of the analysis process, (3) perform a Differential Expression (DE) analysis of a publicly available RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data set to demonstrate the capabilities of various algorithms at each step of the workflow, and (4) show a machine learning solution in improving the computing time, storage requirements, and minimize utilization of computer memory in analyses of RNA-Seq datasets. The source code of the analysis pipeline and associated scripts are presented in the paper appendix to allow replication of experiments
Exploit, Innovate and Compare Local, National and Global Arts: A new Paradigm of Curricular and Research Management
Full text linkThe ‘Design Thinking’ is a post-globalization concept to offer innovations in designing based on the consumer needs which includes services or redesigning existing products. The chapter deals with not only my personal encounters with ‘Design Thinking, which I had taken up as a media expert for designing innovative educational models for Government of Eritrea during 2003-2005, but also with my conceptualization of a designing a model of communication that explains how Indian culture comprising six arts (Painting, Drawing, Sculpting, Music, Dance and Drama) has the potential to connect with mass communication (e.g.Saadharanikaran model of communication emerging from Natyashastra) and how it fosters research and funding by cross-connecting communication with these art forms in Indian Universities offering different programmes in arts and humanities. The chapter further dwells on how ‘Design Thinking’ emerged as a multi-faceted programme, with its application not being restricted to just designing the products but extending to localized needs of communities through innovation/problem solving solutions that can be modified by adoption for various other cultures varying in requirements. The compulsion of achieving global homogeneity in communication sciences resulted in a monotony depriving Indian students/research scholars of the art of ‘think out of the box’ and running/administering their own media/mass communication departments from the perspective of connecting with local arts and native cultures
Peer Review and Reflective Teaching Practices: An Effective Mechanism for Quality Enhancement in Higher Education
Full text linkQuality education and teacher accountability are predominant issues generating apprehension in higher education. Traditional methods of evaluation are giving way to more contemporary methods. One technique that is being implemented in many universities throughout the world that provides feedback and improves pedagogical approaches is a formative and collaborative process known as peer review of teaching (PRT). Review of the literature included 34 studies which identified five themes that offered pros and cons regarding the viability of PRT in teacher evaluations. A matrix table was created on additional 27 studies on the SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) analysis framework. Four factors were derived from the SWOT framework that indicates PTR as a positive strategy in higher education
Foreword: The Book's Introduction
Full text linkThe book that you just opened is exceptional, as it takes both academic- and social- and organizational reality as its basis. It is my job to guide you to the quickest road to apprehend the mere added value of this most remarkable and respectable book. In two words: this book is both wayward and charming; It will seduce you to look afresh to the outskirt intersections of ethnography, social psychology, epistemology, ergonomics, and each of its application domains as well. This hybridity implies that there is no obligate leading theme; each perspective potentially may take the lead and change earlier paradigms. May it be an adventure to you like it was for me; The outcome, in terms of conceptual swivel, has not been fixed by its authors. This book needs you for finding out its final impact; Each reader faces a new challenge to find a new cognitive balance. This book leads you out of your comfort zone and helps you to find it back as well. Its main message is that theory needs to follow evidence rather than the other way around. My mission is to lead you via short synopses to a metaperspective, even if you don not feel it as such
Spanning Boundaries between Academia and Practice in Information Systems (IS): A Case Study of a Community and Network of Practice
Full text linkWhile Information Systems (IS) has strong ties in practice, it is extremely important that academic and practice perspectives share the same ground in research and education. While there are different research communities in IS which are called communities of practice and knowing (CoP&K), there exists a gap between academic CoP&K and practitioner CoP&K in doctoral IS education. This paper describes a working approach on boundary spanning between academic- and practitioner CoP&K’s in doctoral education. In presented case example, a doctoral program has been organized in the field of IS for professionally qualified doctoral students with significant industry experience. This doctoral seminar program has been going on for over twenty years and has produced numerous doctors for the field among other things. Based on this example a research model for studying the exchange of knowing and knowledge between different CoP&K’s in doctoral education in Information Systems and research questions for further research are presented. This article suggests that the gap between academia and practice does not need to be as deep as it appears to be, and that there is an understudied field in the intersection between CoP&K’s in the IS research field. Thus authors propose a research agenda, where focus is on narrowing the gap between academia and practice in IS through proper use of CoP&K’s in doctoral education
