Inclusion of short links in academic publications?
by yana breindl 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Thank you all for your comments! The reason I asked is not because of a word limit but because one of my committee members suggested I'd use short links to ease access for readers of the print dissertation. I do have quite a lot of electronic sources as footnotes in some of the chapters and he mentioned he'd have typed a shortened url but not a long one. An alternative would be to include short urls in the footnotes and add an appendix with corresponding long links. I'm not sure it's worth the hassle though.

New book: Connecting Democracy: Online Consultation and the Flow of Political Communication
by Stephen Coleman 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Subscribers to this list may be interested to learn that MIT Press has just published, “Connecting Democracy: Online Consultation and the Flow of Political Communication,” edited by myself and Peter Shane. The book is a collaborative project of 19 researchers investigating the experience and potential of online consultation in the United States and Europe. The following paragraph from the introductory chapter gives a flavor of our framework: “A useful understanding of the online consultation phenomenon has to go beyond how particular consultations might or might not affect the outcomes of individual policy- making episodes. We need to consider what such consultations provide, or could provide, to the larger flow of political communication within a society. This also means regarding online consultations as something more than simple two-way dialogues between citizen-participants and public decision makers. Instead, they represent a kind of networked communication involving citizens (both participants and auditors), public decision makers (of both the legislative and administrative sort), bureaucrats, technicians, civil society organizations, and the media generally. Exploring the meaning of online consultations to these diverse actors requires evidence -gathering through multiple methods, comparative study, and analysis across a variety of key disciplines. We have to appreciate how the experience is constructed by social, political, and legal forces, including, but not limited to the design of the online consultation experience itself. This sort of approach yields an understanding that the online consultation can best contribute phenomenon’s greatest contribution to democratic practice depends by inspiring and supporting a reimagining on it becoming both an impetus to, and a form of support for, a re-imagination of democratic citizenship—a robust form of citizenship that is enhanced by arguably rendered more practical (but hardly inevitable) because of new forms of information and communication technology.” Here's the Table of Contents: 1 Online Consultation and Political Communication in the Age of Obama: An Introduction Peter M.

29 Dec '11

(The short report can be found at the URL below. That said, a quick skim-thru didn't turn up many academic citations regarding existing work on ethics and ICT research ... frankly I would expect to see several AOIR'ers cited in the report's discussion. Maybe in version 2.0? --- rick) Summary: DHS invites the public to comment on the Menlo Report in support of PREDICT, DHS S&T sponsored work on ethics in Information and Communication Technology Research (ICTR). This notice is to elicit feedback from the public. http://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2011/12/28/2011-33231/the-menlo-rep… Happy / Merry / Festive to all! -- rick --- Just because i'm near the punchbowl doesn't mean I'm also drinking from it.
