This study identified various cloud computing practices, including library automation systems on clouds, email services, applications of social media, cloud storage (Dropbox), consortium services, digital library and file sharing. The libraries adopted cloud computing due to cost-effectiveness, storage facility, ease-to-use, flexibility and scalability, time-saving, lack of in-house skill set and ubiquitous nature of the technologies. Several factors, for example, security issues, privacy of data, slow Internet connectivity and high subscription rate affect the adoption of cloud computing. The critical adoption, usage factors and various challenges identified would provide valuable insight to library professionals to decide how to employ cloud-based practices to offer innovative services in academic libraries.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141785715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such systems are designed to address a variety of challenges. Inspiration for algorithmic design is taken from various domains which has resulted in the creation of an enormous body of literature. Also, different methods are used for evaluation of the recommendation algorithms. In this study, we review these developments and present three major components in news recommendation research. First, we list and categorise the challenges faced while designing news recommender systems. We especially list the different algorithmic designs used for generating personalised and non-personalised recommendations. We discuss the major neural network architectures that are being increasingly used for both collaborative and content-based recommender systems. Next, we list the two major evaluation methods and also list some popular datasets used in evaluation. Finally, we identify the emerging trends in news recommender research. We find that the issues related to fake news, trust and use of personal data for news recommendation are gaining wider attention, and deep learning methods are being increasingly used to address these issues.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140840052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilising social identity theory as a framework, we examine messages related to voter fraud by users who migrated from Twitter to Parler following Twitter bans. Our analysis covers 38,798 accounts active on both platforms, analysing 1.5 million tweets and more than 100,000 parleys. The key findings of the study are as follows: First, we discovered differing levels of network homophily between high degree centrality and low-degree centrality cross-platform users, illustrating how individuals with varying degrees of influence engage differently across platforms. Second, we observed higher toxicity levels in heterogeneous networks, which include both in-group and out-group members, compared with homogeneous networks that are primarily composed of in-group members. This suggests the level of toxicity in online spaces correlates with the level of group diversity. Third, we found that cross-platform users created distinctive discourse community with in-group and out-group members, indicating that content and discussions within these networks are influenced by the social identity dynamics of the users. Our study contributes to the current research in political communication and information science by proposing comparative user analyses across multiple social media platforms. Focusing on a critical period of platform transition during a contentious political event, our study offers insights into the dynamics of online communities and the shifting nature of political language used by social media users.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140839789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we address this issue by analysing over time the reference lists of scientific publications around the world. Our study focuses on key issues, including whether researchers from lower-income countries reference fewer publications in their research and how this trend evolves over time. We also investigate whether researchers from lower-income countries rely more on the literature that is openly available through different OA routes compared with other researchers. Our study revealed that the proportion of OA references has increased over time for all publications and country groups. However, publications from lower-income countries have seen a higher growth rate of OA-based references, suggesting that the emergence of OA publishing has been particularly advantageous to researchers in these countries.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140626153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Which techniques or strategies are discussed to tackle information disorder? Is there a research gap in including scientists as subjects of research projects concerning information disorder tackling strategies? Following PRISMA 2020 statement, a checklist and flow diagram for reporting systematic reviews, a set of 14 documents was analysed. Findings revealed that the literature might be interpreted following Wilson and Maceviciute’s model as creation, acceptance and dissemination categories. Crossing over these categories, we advanced three standing points to analyse scientists’ positions towards mis-disinformation: inside, inside-out and outside-in. The stage ‘Creation/facilitation’ was the least present in our sample, but ‘Use/rejection/acceptance’ and ‘Dissemination’ were depicted in the literature retrieved. Most of the literature approaches were about inside-out perspectives, meaning that the topic is mainly studied concerning communication issues. Regarding the strategies against the information disorder, findings suggest that preventive and reactive strategies are simultaneously used. A strong appeal to a multidisciplinary effort against mis-disinformation is widely present, but there is a gap in including scientists as subjects of research projects.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140602413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Citation analysis is a recognised tool to assess the citation performance of journals. However, due to the shortcomings such as the inflated Journal Impact Factor and heterogeneity of the citations, additional dimensions are necessary to be considered to balance with the article citation. This article constructs a three-dimensional journal assessment framework to measure the comprehensive influence of a journal based on article citation, author and institution influence. The CRITIC-Entropy weighting method is employed to calculate the weighted average scores for the three dimensions, respectively. Then, a newly defined Pareto-dominated set-based sum of TOPSIS score (PDS-based STS) approach is developed to assess the comprehensive influence of journals. A sample of 76 journals in Economics field is selected to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed assessment method. The Chartered Association of Business Schools’ Academic Journal Guide 2021 (CABS-AJG 2021) which is an expert-based journal rating is chosen as a baseline model. It has been found that the assessment method using PDS-based STS shows a more rational journal ranking than that based on the Journal Impact Factor if using the CABS-AJG 2021’s ratings as the benchmark model.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140312224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gathering information from external sources is expensive and may increase noise. For efficient short text classification without depending on external knowledge sources, we propose Expressive Short text Classification (EStC). EStC consists of a novel document context-aware semantically enriched topic model called the Short text Topic Model (StTM) that captures words, topics and documents semantics in a joint learning framework. In StTM, the probability of predicting a context word involves the topic distribution of word embeddings and the document vector as the global context, which obtains by weighted averaging of word embeddings on the fly simultaneously with the topic distribution of words without requiring an additional inference method for the document embedding. EStC represents documents in an expressive (number of topics × number of word embedding features) embedding space and uses a linear support vector machine (SVM) classifier for their classification. Experimental results demonstrate that EStC outperforms many state-of-the-art language models in short text classification using several publicly available short text data sets.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140196251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing MVC methods exploit clustering structure by utilising signal-layer mapping, such that they cannot exploit the underlying deep-level semantic information in complex and interleaved multi-view data. Moreover, existing methods usually conduct multi-view fusion and clustering separately, which results in unpromising performance. To address the above problems, one-step MVC via deep-level semantics exploiting (DLSE) is proposed to exploit deep-level semantic information and learn the indicator matrix using a one-step manner. To be specific, a novel deep matrix factorisation (DMF) paradigm is designed to exploit the hierarchical semantics via a layer-wise scheme, so that samples from the same clusters are forced to be closer in the low-dimensional space layer by layer. Furthermore, to make the learned representation preserve the local geometric structure of data, DLSE introduces a local preservation regularisation to guide DMF. Meanwhile, by employing spectral rotating fusion, the cluster indicator can be obtained directly. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of DLSE in contrast with some state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":54796,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Information Science","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140106125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
