    Researching Social News – Is reddit.com a mouthpiece for the ‘Hive Mind’, or a Collective Intelligence approach to Information Overload?

    Distributed moderation and filtering systems are becoming increasingly common on the web. This paper examines reddit.com, a Social News website where users vote to determine which stories will be featured in high-visibility locations. User voting activity and attention are found to be highly concentrated on the website’s front page. The consequences of this are considered, chiefly by studying reddit’s coverage of a major news story. Minority opinions are found to be slightly marginalised but not excluded from high-visibility locations. The paper concludes by discussing some positive and negative effects of the emphasis reddit places on its front page and the collective decisions about which items appear there

    George Conley (left) and Joe R. Colbert Junior, two boys who ran away from home. The two boys are shown sitting on the steps of a building, both smiling. Both are dressed in trousers and thick jackets. George has a flannel shirt in his lap while Joe holds a knitted hat on his knee. Set between them on the step below them is a dirtied bag and another jacket. The boys, both 14, hitchhiked and walked their way east, however they both deny they were running away. It was said they were heading for the Gulf of Mexico to be pirates.https://mavmatrix.uta.edu/specialcollections_startelegram1940s/13427/thumbnail.jp

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We 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
