Using the bibliographic and citation data from the handbook, basic statistics and bibliometric indicators such as the number of papers, citations, citation rates as well as citing half-lives were computed. We found that German-language information science is not a close-knit community. Authors reference their colleagues’ work only moderately. From the cluster analysis, we can conclude that German-language information scientist work in areas rather distant from one another.","PeriodicalId":90875,"journal":{"name":"ISI ... : ...

The following paper will demonstrate how information science can contribute to a service science. It will present relevant study content and programmes on offer in Germany and abroad and will use this as a basis from which to call for a transdisciplinary positioning of information-science disciplines in the future. The “new” discipline of service science has also experienced a boom that resembles, albeit in a shorter timeframe, information science.","PeriodicalId":90875,"journal":{"name":"ISI ... : ...

Search engine technology and full text availability now define the standards for information research. Libraries as knowledge providers have to face the challenges of the new technologies. Our poster contribution takes the example of Augmented Reality (AR) to show a way to use the potential of digital technology for library services. AR offers new possibilities to contextualize library data. Hence the transfer of knowledge can be enriched by virtual information and visualization. In our poster we introduce the project mylibrARy and the status quo of the conceptual process of designing a library AR-app. mylibrARy is a cooperation project between the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, a public library in Berlin and metaio GmbH . By providing mobile access to enriched library data the institution is able to stay in touch with users or even generate new users with a high affinity for digital technology. According to the result of our first of four user studies especially the integration of social media and social reading functions plays a crucial role in reaching that aim. Beside the connection to the local library knowledge organization system in the app we plan to integrate further features for the semantic contextualization such as the Wikipedia categories.","PeriodicalId":90875,"journal":{"name":"ISI ... : ...

The aim of this paper is to provide a perspective on two large questions, the first historical the second contemporary: (1) Why did relevance become a central notion of information science? (2) In this day and age of huge advances in information technology, why did relevance still remain a central notion? In the 1950s, relevance emerged as a central notion in information science because of ex- tensive theoretical and practical concerns with and commitments to searching and not only with organization of information. In turn, searching was con- nected to and made possible by many innovations in computers and compu- ting. Contemporary advances in information technology brought about great many changes. Search engines, social media, and a myriad of new informa- tion resources emerged and transformed the world. Searching for information","PeriodicalId":90875,"journal":{"name":"ISI ... : ...

In terms of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) (1998), the new paradigm relating to the bibliographic universe is driving new requirements for data preparation and that represents a dramatic change in how cataloguers think; in other words, in their mental models (Rose, 2012: 129). Therefore, a study of the cataloguers’ mental models of the bibliographic universe was carried out to investigate whether the FRBR structure would be confirmed by mental models of cataloguers. Our method for elicitation of mental models is based on concept mapping, which is well suited for representing mental models of individuals (Jackson & Trochim, 2002: 312). The findings of our study show that on average cataloguers’ mental models resemble the FRBR conceptual model.","PeriodicalId":90875,"journal":{"name":"ISI ... : ...

Although the digital revolution has facilitated and accelerated the publishing process by moving from print to online, it has not changed the scientific journal and scholarly communication as such. Today publications and citations in peer-reviewed journals are considered as indicators of scientific productivity and impact and used and misused in research evaluation. As scholarly communication is becoming more open and diverse and manuscripts, data, presentations and code are shared online, the altmetrics and open science movement demand the adaption of evaluation practices. Parallels are drawn between the early days of bibliometrics and current altmetrics research highlighting possibilities and limitations of various metrics and warning against adverse effects.","PeriodicalId":90875,"journal":{"name":"ISI ... : ...

Wigand","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.17966","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17966","url":null,"abstract":"This paper shows how the manufacturing department of a multinational company (MNC) attempts to capture sales forecast data. These sales estimates are meant to reduce uncertainty on future production rates. The first research question is: May sales forecast data be trusted or not? Reli-able sales forecast data would improve corporate performance by reducing inventory and showcase the benefit of the cooperation between manufacturing and sales. The second research question and at the same time the header of this paper is whether cultural differences have an impact on forecast quality or not. We have tapped two sources of literature to find adequate theories: One is the literature on information quality (IQ). It defines the dimensions of IQ and describes methods how these dimensions may be measured. The other source is literature on cultural influences on information and its interpretation. The case study itself consists of an anonymized data set created in the con-text of a consulting project. We correlated subjective probability estimates with objectively measured won/loss rates and applied the concept of calibration. The estimate bias among the eleven investigated countries widely varied. While the majority of Western countries were over-confident on the outcome of sales opportunities the majority of East Asian countries was under-confident. Both the outcome of this case study and literature suggest that both a well-founded shared understanding and the application of adequate calibration are necessary to guarantee the objectivity and believability of information.","PeriodicalId":90875,"journal":{"name":"ISI ... : ...
