Citation question: App Store Reviews Only on Mobile?
by Scott Kushner 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Hi AoIRistas, I'm curious if any of you have any sense of the proper way to cite a user comment in the iOS App Store? I'm working on the reception of an iOS app, and the web version of the page (the only version with a visible URL) only shows the first three comments. I'm digging pretty deep into the comments pile, and want to be able to offer proper citations to my readers. I don't remember this popping up in Joseph Reagle's book, though I imagine I'm not the first to confront the issue, and I am hopeful one of you has a solution. So.... Has anyone encountered (and perhaps overcome) the problem of citing comments only present via mobile app store with no obvious URL? With thanks, Scott -- Scott Kushner Assistant Professor Department of Communication Studies Harrington School of Communication and Media University of Rhode Island 312 Davis Hall 10 Lippitt Rd.

New book: Performing Digital Activism: New Aesthetics and Discourse of Resistance
by Fidele Vlavo 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Dear all, I am very pleased to announce the publication of my new book: Performing Digital Activism: New Aesthetics and Discourse of Resistance. (Routledge 2017) Description: From the emergence of digital protest as part of the Zapatista rebellion, to the use of disturbance tactics against governments and commercial institutions, there is no doubt that digital technology and networks have become the standard features of 21st century social mobilisation. Yet, little is known about the historical and socio-cultural developments that have transformed the virtual sphere into a key site of political confrontation. This book provides a critical analysis of the developments of digital direct action since the 1990s. It examine the praxis of electronic protest by focussing on the discourses and narratives provided by the activists and artists involved. The study covers the work of activist groups, including Critical Art Ensemble, Electronic Disturbance Theater and the electrohippies, as well as Anonymous, and proposes a new analytical framework centred on the performative and aesthetic features of contemporary digital activism. The book is available at: Routledge: https://www.routledge.com/Performing-Digital-Activism-New-Aesthetics-and-Di… Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Performing-Digital-Activism-Aesthetics-Cyberculture/… Fidele Vlavo Assistant Professor Departamento de Comunicación Universidad Iberoamericana Ciudad de México México E-mail: ablavi.vlavo(a)ibero.mx

coding standards, suggestions for categorizing ethical frameworks in open-ended questionnaires?
by Charles M. Ess 24 Oct '17

24 Oct '17

Dear AoIRists, One of our MA students is attempting to (qualitatively) analyze responses to grief and mourning experiences on a major social media platform, especially as expressed or indexed in responses to open-ended questions (as part of a larger questionnaire). The student is attempting to discern what ethical frameworks, if any, come into play as suggested / evinced in the responses - e.g., more utilitarian, more care ethics, more virtue ethics, and so on. I think we can figure out a good way to look for and record responses along these lines - but of course, it's nicer if we don't have to reinvent a wheel or two that someone else has already developed and refined, etc. Any tips, tricks and suggestions along these lines would be very gratefully received. Many thanks in advance, - charles ess -- Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo <http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/people/aca/charlees/index.html> Editor, The Journal of Media Innovations <https://www.journals.uio.no/index.php/TJMI/> Postboks 1093 Blindern 0317 Oslo, Norway c.m.ess(a)media.uio.no

call for reviewers
by Lauri Goldkind 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

Friends: We have entered a new chapter here at the Journal of Technology Human Services, my co-editor, Dr. Chitat Chan of Hong Kong PolyTechnic are pleased to announce that we have fully taken over from the very able Dr. Dale Fitch and Dr. Bruce Vieweg. You can read more about our plans for the journal here. <http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15228835.2017.1356996> We are now actively recruiting peer reviewers to add to our roster of consulting editors. Kindly let me know if you are interested in reviewing. *Please email me your name and a few comments about your subject interests* and up to 8 keywords/tags. I don’t anticipate that we would call on you more than once or twice per year. As I’m sure you know, peer reviews are double-blinded: reviewers are not told whose work they are reviewing, and authors are not told who has reviewed their work. Good reviews run to several pages of detailed constructive criticism and encouragement. Why review? (1) Although it is something of a thankless task, some say that peer review is a basic obligation of academic life. Thus, without peer reviewers, we have no peer review. Without high-quality criticism, we cannot publish the highest quality work. Peer reviewers are the backbone of our system. (2) You get to really dig your teeth into new, cutting-edge work and interact with it and its authors in a way far beyond simply reading an article. It’s fun AND educational! (3) You get to be really helpful to your colleagues, which is especially valuable to people who are up-and-coming in the field. (4) You get to be openly critical of research details. The bloodier the better. How often do you get to say what you really think? (5) Service to your field might be part of your employer’s expectations, so peer review for JTHS looks good on your cv. You can call yourself a consulting editor, and editorial consultant or a peer reviewer, whichever makes you happiest. (6) We really appreciate it. Please let me know if you have questions about any of the above. Warm regards, Lauri. _________________________________________ Lauri Goldkind, PhD ~ Visiting Research Fellow ~ UN University Computers + Society Editor in Chief, Journal of Technology in Human Services Associate Professor, Graduate School of Social Service, Fordham http://www.laurigoldkind.net/ The future is always beginning now.
