Digital Tools, Approaches and Assessment for Cybersecurity Education via Storytelling: a Systematic Literature Review
No full textGiven the increasingly interconnected world we live in, having a perception of the risks inherent in cybersecurity becomes crucial. No one is immune, and due to this pervasiveness, it is strictly required to design approaches and tools capable of educating anyone to recognize and avoid threats related to cybersecurity. Due to the effectiveness recognized to storytelling to engage learners of any age and grade, this article aims to provide an overview of current practices regarding approaches, tools, and assessments to raise awareness about cybersecurity via storytelling based on a systematic literature review. It revises 19 relevant articles out of 60 not duplicated records indexed by major databases, i.e., Scopus, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, which are compared in terms of target audience and assessment approach. Articles are relevant if they adopt digital tools to raise awareness concerning cybersecurity. It results in 30 digital academic or commercial tools, compared in terms of availability, supporting features, and target audience. According to the review results, storytelling is an interesting approach to lower access points to cybersecurity, demonstrating that there are glimmers of use in the corporate sector, too. Storytelling is mainly used in combination with game-based approaches, simulating real scenarios or engaging participants with interactive quizzes. Although freely available tools are rare and often discontinued, there is a short list of promising digital tools publicly available along with educational material. While storytelling is used as an entry point to raise learners’ awareness about cybersecurity, further effort should be invested in approaching professionals
Are Claims Grounded in Data? An Empowering Linking Approach for Misalignment Identification in Online Data-driven Discussions
No full textTextual content is effectively supported by data visualization in many contexts, allowing readers to assess the written content by looking at data visualizations. Among the fields that benefit from it are journalism and academia, from online blogs to analytical reports. While research has explored the effectiveness of linking text and data visualizations investigating learning, engagement, and improvement in readers' skills regarding better information understanding and recall, we could commit more to using this practice in information verification. This paper investigates the impact of linking text modeled as discussions and data visualizations to identify text-to-visualization misalignment. First, we propose a text-visualization interaction-based approach, named HOOD, to aid users in online data-driven discussions by integrating deictic data visualization with messages, avoiding tab switching, and enabling fine-grain text-to-visualization linking. Then, we present a within-subjects design user study comparing HOOD with two alternative text-to-visualization layouts (also referred to as data access modalities) engaging 22 participants in identifying misalignment in text linked to data visualizations in 18 hand-crafted discussions. Our findings reveal that participants experienced 10% improvement with HOOD reaching up to 80% of success rate compared to alternative data access modalities. Furthermore, the time required for assessments remarkably decreased, and participants consistently rated HOOD as the preferred data access modality
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
As a Grain of Link: How Far Should We Take Link Granularity
No full textIndividuals can leverage data referencing in collective scenarios, akin to deixis, a common human interaction in which they can physically point to relevant information. While deixis is easily performed in online synchronous interactions, e.g., mouse pointing during screen sharing in video conferences, reproducing it in asynchronous online interactions is not trivial. A significant step towards finer mimicking in-person co-presence is enhancing the granularity of links to data, enabling users to reference specific pieces of data in their content. This paper reviews 43 digital platforms in 8 sub-categories, organized in 3 main categories, and proposes requirements, opportunities, and challenges of link granularity for asynchronous online interactions
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
