Awareness

Research 2.0

Method & Sampling

open, in-depth, semi-structured interviews

researchers from the TEL domain

42 interviews

27-62 years, avg: 32.5 years

83% male, 17% female

28-126 minutes, avg. 51 minutes

Awareness in Research Networks

is to know what is important to me and filter out what is not important to me

(P27, 36, ll. 40-42)

awareness ... can have impact on the individual method of operation ... as it triggers reflection

(P16, 58, ll. 306-320)

Awareness in Research Networks

Where do we use the results of this study?

ginkgo - social scientific event management

analyses of scientific publications

recommendations & visualizations

near-copy detection

supporting researchers’ social interactions

Conclusions

Awareness in the context of Research Networks

is obviously lacking in many areas of researchers daily work

considers much more aspects than the core CSCW research understanding

awareness-support should be considered when designing new solutions

Thank you very much for your attention
