The document discusses the importance of evaluating information sources. It notes that there is a vast amount of information available, so it is important to make sure appropriate sources are being used in work. Evaluating sources is also an important academic skill and is useful for identifying fake news and avoiding filter bubbles. The document then introduces the CRAAP test method for evaluating information, which considers the currency, relevancy, authority, accuracy, and purpose of sources.

Inconsistencies in big dataminujoseph

This document discusses inconsistencies in big data. It begins by introducing the concept of big data and defining its key characteristics: volume, velocity, variety, variability, veracity, and complexity. It then examines different types of inconsistencies that can occur in big data, including temporal inconsistencies dealing with conflicting time-related information, spatial inconsistencies involving geometric or location-based data, and text inconsistencies found in unstructured language. The document also looks at inconsistencies relating to functional dependencies where certain attribute values should determine other attributes. It concludes by discussing how identifying and resolving inconsistencies can help improve big data analysis through techniques like inconsistency induced learning.Manufacturing the Future - MakerCon 2014

My talk from MakerCon 2014. The idea is how to look at manufacturing from a "base principles" approach. The idea is that if you want to see how manufacturing works in the future - you need to look at the physics and economics of the matter / energy / information that makes up products.ICWE 2017: Recruiting from the network

This paper presents a technique for identifying influential Twitter users who can help spread information about combating disease epidemics like Zika. An offline model is trained on labeled tweets to classify relevant tweets. An online system then ranks Twitter users based on metrics like topic focus and overall focus that measure how many of a user's tweets are relevant. The top ranked users may be engaged to help increase the effectiveness of health campaigns by leveraging real-time social media streams. Preliminary results found some success in identifying influential users but also limitations of using only topological metrics like TwitterRank.Data Science - MIT Professional Education Program

Data.gov provides a variety of government datasets to the public in order to make data more transparent and accessible. It allows the public and private organizations to search and utilize data to create new applications and solutions. By opening up government data, it aims to increase accountability, lower costs through innovation, and help drive better policies. An example is scientists accessing nutrition data to help research a new disease. Data.gov fits into the semantic web by representing data in a standardized format that allows for linking and combining of information from different sources.Luther - Signs of a Changing Landscape

Technological changes are accelerating social changes in the scholarly publishing landscape. There has been significant consolidation among publishers through horizontal and vertical integration. Relationships between authors, readers, publishers, and librarians have shifted with the rise of content aggregators and library vendors that now provide aggregated content and library management systems. Major companies like Thomson Reuters and Elsevier have expanded into research administration services. Startups are also emerging to create new models for scholarly communication through open solutions. The landscape continues to transform dramatically and it is unclear what relationships and models may emerge by 2030.LISA VII: The Scientific and Technical Foundation for Altmetrics in the Unite...

Altmetrics provide additional ways to measure the impact of scholarly research beyond traditional citations. They can show how research is accessed and discussed online through social media and other venues. However, altmetric data sources vary in quality and transparency, so standards are needed. NISO is developing cross-community best practices for altmetrics to ensure consistency, transparency and reusability of altmetric data. When standards are established, altmetrics can complement traditional metrics like citations to provide a more comprehensive view of research impact.Code4 lib2012

Web 2.0 tools like blogs, wikis, social networking sites, tagging, and RSS feeds promote information fluency by allowing users to create, share, and collaborate on content. These tools make information more accessible and encourage lifelong learning. While useful, overdependence on these sources and lack of skills in evaluating digital information can also be problems if information literacy is not developed.Information Literacy as Taught in Moodle - Kathy Eby, Brescia University

Based upon findings and results from our recent research we propose a generic frame-
work concept for researcher profiling with appliance to the areas of Science 2.0 and Research 2.0. Intensive growth of users in social networks, such as Twitter generated a vast amount of information. It has been shown in many previous works that social networks users produce valuable content for profiling and recommendations. Our research focuses on identifying and locating experts for specific research area or topic. In our approach we apply semantic technologies like (RDF, SPARQL), common vocabularies (SIOC , FOAF, MOAT, Tag Ontology) and Linked Data (GeoNames , COLINDA).

These include the source, message, medium, receiver, feedback, environment, context, and interference. It then discusses models of communication including Lasswell's model and Shannon and Weaver's model. The document also defines media literacy and lists its characteristics. It provides examples of assessing the reliability of online information and gives tips on evaluating sources and fact-checking claims. It discusses the importance of citing sources and respecting copyright. Finally, it outlines the stages of information literacy which include identifying information needs, finding information, evaluating sources, organizing information, and communicating knowledge.My Hometown Project: Dianne Siriban

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spotssystemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AIthat could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.

The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

Editor's Notes
- #8: This is an example of an online journal article accessed via the library resources. You can see it looks a bit more formal than the other websites, it has things like the author, how many times this has been cited, bibliography. Library resources can be easier to evaluate as the subscriptions we have are with academic and scholarly publishers so you know the article is trustworthy, but still important to think about it and think about the context you are writing in.
- #10: On first appearances this may not look like a very academic website, it is a blog so sometimes students can be wary of using these in such an academic piece of work like a dissertation. But on further investigation we can see that the author of this blog and owner is an academic from the University of Sussex who specialises in film studies. i.e. research the author The types of sources you might use might be dependent on your subject
