Ethics of scientific peer review: Are we judging or helping the review recipients?
(IEEE, 2014-09-08)Traditionally, ethics of a profession or organization are laid down by their pioneers, or subtly emerge over time as the organization advance. Getting conversant to these ethics requires teaching new or upcoming professionals, ... -
Exploiting the Use of Wikis to Support Collaborative Writing: A Case Study of an Undergraduate Computer Science Class
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-09-22)Use of wikis in education reflects a shift in the education paradigm from lecture and individual homework-based to a paradigm emphasizing student engagement and the construction of knowledge through collaboration and ... -
Factors Influencing User’s Attitude to Secondary Information Sharing and Usage
(SRCE-Sveučilišni računski centar, 2015-09-01)The increasing availability of enormous data about users online, along with availability of sophisticated tools and technology to store, aggregate, and analyze data for secondary use has raised concerns about how to balance ... -
Gender Difference in the Credibility Perception of Mobile Websites: A Mixed Method Approach
(ACM New York, NY, USA, 2016-07-13)To persuade people to buy a product or service online, they must be visually convinced and attracted to use the sales website. Thus, there is need to understand how different user groups perceive various designs of websites ... -
How buyers perceive the credibility of advisors in online marketplace: review balance, review amount and misattribution
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015-02-12)In an online marketplace, buyers rely heavily on reviews posted by previous buyers (referred to as advisors). The advisor’s credibility determines the persuasiveness of reviews. Much work has addressed the evaluation of ... -
How do you feel when you see a list of prices? the interplay among price dispersion, perceived risk and initial trust in Chinese C2C market
(Elsevier, 2015-07-31)The issues of trust fraud, product genuineness and price dispersion jointly make Chinese C2C buyers difficult to identify trustworthy sellers with a low price. Little is known about the generation of initial trust when ... -
Identifying calcium-containing mineral species in the JEB Tailings Management Facility at McClean Lake, Saskatchewan
(Elsevier, 2016)The JEB Tailings Management Facility (TMF) is central to reducing the environmental impact of the McClean Lake uranium mill facility that is operated by AREVA Resources Canada. This facility has been designed around the ... -
Identifying Opportunities to Support Family Caregiving in Chile
(ACM New York, NY, USA ©2016, 2016-05-07)Once older adults become less self-sufficient, one or more adult children often assume the role of family caregiver. Unfortunately, this situation is usually perceived as stressful by caregivers. To better understand this ... -
