In response, this systematic review draws connections between the functions of sexual assault disclosures and how ICT design choices can impact the sexual assault disclosure process. Findings from 23 empirical studies indicate that platform affordances can facilitate sexual assault survivors' motivations of visibility, naming sexual assault experiences, anonymity, and destigmatizing sexual assault. Further, findings categorize ICT‐based sexual assault disclosure within three frames: disclosure as a linguistic act, disclosure as a reciprocal act, and disclosure as a cultural response. In turn, findings from this systematic review reveal a need for a better understanding of how ICTs function as counter‐discursive information spaces and identify important considerations for redesigning ICTs to allow for sexual assault disclosure work to flourish.","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141778727","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}

A robust research agenda in LIS has documented the data under-sharing practices in which they engage, and the motivations they profess. Using theoretical frameworks from sociology to complement research in LIS, this article examines the broader context in which researchers are situated, theorizing the social relational dynamics in academia that influence faculty decisions and practices relating to data sharing. We advance a theory that suggests that the academy has entered a period of transition, and faculty resistance to data sharing through foot-dragging is one response to shifting power dynamics.

While concerns exist about the potential citation boost in journals publishing these papers, the specifics are not fully understood. This study uses a generalized difference-in-differences approach to examine the impact of publishing COVID-19 papers on journal citation metrics in the Health Sciences fields. Findings indicate that journals publishing COVID-19 papers in 2020 received significantly higher citation premiums due to COVID-19 in 2020 and continued to benefit from the premium in 2021 in certain fields. In contrast, journals that began publishing COVID-19 papers in 2021 experienced weaker citation premiums. The citation premiums exhibit some negative spillover effect: Although the publication volume of non-COVID-19 papers also surged, these papers experienced insignificant or negative citation gains, even when published in the same journals as COVID-19 papers. COVID-19 papers published in high-impact journals brought higher citation premiums than those in low-impact journals in most fields, indicating a potential Matthew effect. These citation premiums can affect various citation-based journal metrics, such as our simulated impact factor and SCImago Journal Rank, to different degrees. Compared to the simulated impact factor, other normalized journal metrics are less influenced by citation premiums. The results highlight a “gold rush” pattern in which early entrants establish their citation advantage in research hotspots and caution against using citation-based metrics for research assessment.</p>","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.24939","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141552642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The factors influencing a repository's designated community of users to trust it remains largely unexplored. This article proposes and tests a model of trust in a data repository and the influence trust has on users' intention to continue using it. Based on analysis of 245 surveys from quantitative social scientists who published research based on the holdings of one data repository, findings show three factors are positively related to data reuser trust—integrity, identification, and structural assurance. In turn, trust and performance expectancy are positively related to data reusers' intentions to return to the repository for more data. As one of the first studies of its kind, it shows the conceptualization of trusted digital repositories needs to go beyond high-level definitions and simple application of the OAIS standard.

Additionally, we find that the books held in local libraries include different genres and dissemination types, as SSH scholars contribute to the creation of societal and cultural impact in a variety of ways.

A popular method is to collect relevance judgment in a point-wise manner, in which assessors examine and give an absolute relevance score for each item independently of the others. As an alternative, pair-wise relevance judgment, also named preference judgment, allows an assessor to compare two items side-by-side and express their preference for one over the other. Previous work has explored the differences between these two paradigms of relevance judgments from many different aspects. Most of these works are conducted through explicit/implicit feedback. However, few works investigate the underlying neurological mechanisms of the two paradigms. In this paper, we conduct a lab study to investigate and compare point-wise and pair-wise relevance judgment in image search scenarios. We study the neurological mechanisms of the two paradigms through an event-related potential (ERP) analysis of the users' brain signals while viewing images during a search process. We have obtained several observations, such as search engine users tend to pay more attention to preferred items in the point-wise paradigm but unpreferred items in the pair-wise paradigm. Furthermore, we test the adoption of brain signals as implicit feedback for predicting pair-wise relevance judgment, highlighting the feasibility of leveraging brain signals to understand users' relevance judgments.</p>","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141967989","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}

While previous research has developed user models based on <i>simulated</i> gains and costs, it is unclear how users' actual <i>perceptions of search gains and costs</i> form and change during search interactions. To address this gap, our study adopted expectation-confirmation theory (ECT) to investigate users' perceptions of gains and costs. We re-analyzed data from our previous study, examining how contextual and search features affect users' perceptions and how their expectation-confirmation states impact their following searches. Our findings include: (1) The point where users' actual dwell time meets their constant expectation may serve as a reference point in evaluating perceived gain and cost; (2) these perceptions are associated with in situ experience represented by usefulness labels, browsing behaviors, and queries; (3) users' current confirmation states affect their perceptions of Web page usefulness in the subsequent query. Our findings demonstrate possible effects of expectation-confirmation, prospect theory, and information foraging theory, highlighting the complex relationships among gain/cost, expectations, and dwell time at the query level, and the reference-dependent expectation at the session level.

These articles were compared to a control group of 7862 similar articles without preprints, identified through text-mining algorithms. By modeling the differences in forward citations over time between the two groups, we established a positive causal effect of self-archiving platforms on research impact.
