SIGMET Panel at ASIST: Altmetrics - Present and FutureStefanie Haustein
Altmetrics aim to measure the broader impact of scholarly work but are still developing. They are unclear measures of scientific impact, social impact, buzz, or all of these. Early studies show low to moderate correlations with citations and disciplinary differences in social media use. Future qualitative and quantitative research is needed to understand what social media metrics mean and how they are influenced by various biases before being applied to evaluation. Challenges include differentiating audiences, engagements, and impacts across diverse social media platforms and scholarly versus non-scholarly discussions. Lessons from past evaluation metrics mistakes should be learned to avoid issues like overreliance on altmetrics before their meanings and biases are well understood.

Empirical analyses of scientific papers and researchers on Twitter: Results...Stefanie Haustein
This study analyzed the relationship between social media and traditional bibliometric metrics through two case studies. The first examined tweets of biomedical papers and found Twitter coverage increasing but still low, with weak correlations between tweets and citations. The second analyzed astrophysicists on Twitter and also found negative or weak correlations between tweeting and publication/citation metrics. While tweet counts vary across fields and papers, tweets alone cannot replace citations as impact measures. More research is needed on altmetric meanings and differences across fields through user surveys.

Your Browsing Behavior for a ! Big Mac: Economics of Personal Information OnlineGabriela Agustini
This document summarizes a research study that investigated how internet users value their personal identifiable information (PII) that is collected online. The researchers used an experience sampling method with a Firefox plugin to collect data from 168 Spanish participants over time as they browsed the web. They found that on average, users valued their web browsing behavior data at around 7 euros. Users valued offline PII like name and address significantly higher than online PII. They also valued PII related to finance and social media websites higher than search and news websites. While users did not like the idea of companies monetizing their PII, they would be willing to accept certain goods or services in exchange. The researchers conclude there needs to be better transparency and incentives
Information Behavior: Theories, Models & Studies (20091208)Charles (XXC) Chen
This document discusses different conceptual frameworks for studying information behavior. It covers cognitive approaches, which focus on how individuals perceive and process information based on their world views and mental models. Social approaches are also discussed, which examine how social contexts and relationships influence information meaning and value. The document provides examples of classic models from these perspectives, such as Ellis's information seeking model and Chatman's work on information poverty.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
