The effects of response burden – collecting life history data in a self-administered mixed-device survey.

Carstensen, J., Lang, S., & Cordua, F. (2022).
The effects of response burden – collecting life history data in a self-administered mixed-device survey. Journal of Official Statistics, 38(4), 1069-1095. https://doi.org/10.2478/jos-2022-0046
Abstract

Collecting life history data is highly demanding and therefore prone to error since respondentsmust retrieve and provide extensive complex information. Research has shown that responseburden is an important factor influencing data quality. We examine whether increases indifferent measures of response burden in a (mixed-device) online survey lead to adverseeffects on the data quality and whether these effects vary by the type of device used (mobileversus non-mobile).

Abstract

The Social Survey is a series of surveys on the economic and social situation of students in Germany that has been in existence since 1951. Every three to four years, a cross-section of students is surveyed on aspects of access to higher education, structural features of study, social and economic situation, including income and cost of living, employment, housing situation, as well as socio-demographic characteristics, partnership status and parenthood. The data package includes the data from the 10th Social Survey (1982), which was limited to German students in the old Länder. An additional questionnaire included Questions about the psychosocial situation. https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:ssy10:1.0.0

Abstract

The survey of scientific and administrative employees at medical faculties in Germany is part of module 7 „Praktikabilität, Akzeptanz und Verhaltenswirksamkeit“ in the collaborative project „Qualitätsmaße zur Evaluierung medizinischer Forschung“ (QuaMedFo). It was planned and conducted in close cooperation of the German Center for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW) and the Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG) in the first half of 2021. Data preparation was completed in the second half of 2021. https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:qmf2021:1.0.0

Tell me why it’s fake: Developing an explainable user interface for a fake news detection system.

Tell me why it’s fake: Developing an explainable user interface for a fake news detection system. In CEUR Workshop Proceedings (Hrsg.), Proceedings of the 3rd Italian Workshop on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI.it 2022). Udine, Italy: CEUR.
Abstract

In this paper, we present the design and development of an explainable user interface for a fake news detection system. The problem of distinguishing real from fake articles gained a lot of popularity in the last few years, mainly due to the soaring diffusion of social networks and internet bots as means for propaganda and disinformation sharing. By leveraging various explainability methods, i.e. feature importance, partial dependence plots and SHAP values, we aim to show how the combination of different techniques embedded in an interactive user interface can lead to enhance trust in a detection system for a non-expert user, such as a fact-checker or a content manager. Through several examples, we describe all the explainability component

Drawbacks of Normalization by Percentile Ranks in Citation Impact Studies.

Donner, P. (2022).
Drawbacks of Normalization by Percentile Ranks in Citation Impact Studies. Journal of Library and Information Studies, 20(2), 75-93.
Abstract

This paper discusses drawbacks of the percentile rank method for citation impact normalization which have hitherto been neglected in the bibliometrics literature. The transformation of citation counts to percentile ranks changes ratio scale data into ordinal scale data, for which the notions of the ratio between two values and of the magnitude of a difference between two values are not defined – a substantial loss of information. This distorts citation data particularly severely because the differences between citation counts adjacent in order in publication sets are greater for more highly cited publications and because highly cited publications are more scarce than non-highly cited ones.

Der Grundsatz der Ausschreibungsfreiheit der Eigenerledigung – Zur primär- und verfassungsrechtlichen Fundierung eines der wettbewerblichen Strukturierung entzogenen Bereichs staatlicher Aufgabenerfüllung im Vergabe-, Kartell- und Beihilfenrecht.

Abstract

In the area of public sector self-management, there is no call for tenders, and public procurement law does not apply. This „principle of the freedom from tender for self-management“ appears directly accessible at first glance. However, the principle is difficult to apply in legal practice. How far it exempts entities within the public sector from competitive tendering is the subject of constant dispute. This is made more difficult by the fact that the principle has not yet had a solid foundation in primary and constitutional law that could guide the discussion about its scope. The article explores the origin of the principle and substantiates it in terms of primary and constitutional law.
