As public libraries increasingly serve patrons experiencing mental health, housing, or substance use crises, there is a growing need to prepare future librarians for these interactions. Despite the potential of VR for immersive and repeatable training, no existing VR programs focus specifically on crisis management in library settings. This interdisciplinary project addresses that gap through a usability study with 21 LIS students who participated in a VR-based training session using Mozilla Hubs. Participants reported high levels of usability, immersion, and perceived effectiveness, suggesting that VR offers a promising, low-stakes environment for building communication skills. These findings underscore the value of continued exploration into VR as a scalable and innovative approach for LIS education.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 3","pages":"521-537"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146256347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate the influence of the preferential attachment rule (PAR) in this process by analyzing individual citation events from the DBLP dataset and two Scopus-based datasets, enabling us to estimate the probability of citations being assigned preferentially. Our findings reveal that, for the aggregated dataset, PAR dominates the citation distribution process, with approximately 70% of citations adhering to this mechanism. However, analysis at the individual level shows significant variability, with some authors experiencing a greater prevalence of preferential citations, particularly in the context of external citations. In contrast, self-citations exhibit notably different behavior, with only 20% following PAR. We also demonstrate that the prominence of PAR increases with an author's citability (average citations per paper), suggesting that more citable authors are preferentially cited, while less-cited authors experience more random citation patterns. Furthermore, we show that self-citations may influence bibliometric indices, such as the h-index. Our results confirm the distinct dynamics of self-citations compared to external citations, raising questions about the mechanisms driving self-citation patterns. These findings provide new insights into citation behaviors and highlight the limitations of existing approaches.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"76 13","pages":"1868-1879"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145848210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
