Method & Sampling

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)

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
