Giving Serendipity a Nudge by Sharing Everyday Mobile Content
No full textThis paper examines the capturing and sharing of digital images in everyday life. We find that this practice not only gives serendipity a nudge by allowing groups to come together more easily, it provides contextual information that can reduce gratuitous contact. In order to demonstrate this we will reference the Swarm phone prototype and describe how the pre-defined, color coded avatars in the latest version are being given greater context and personalization through the use of everyday digital images
Sharing places : digital content and lived life
No full textThe generation and sharing of digital content is being transformed by new advances in mobile technology. Here we wish to reflect on and review blogging and pervasive image capture and sharing practices reported on in literature to gain new insights into future research of practices around the generation and sharing of digital content in the course of everyday lived life. Specifically we wish to stretch recently adopted rapid ethnographic approaches (i.e. probes), mobile blogs (moblogs) and the notion of ‘digital document’ to gain insights into real time capture and seamless publishing and sharing of digital content in different kinds of places (domestic, work, third-place and civic)
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
