Introduction This study investigates the motivations, practices, and barriers encountered by health researchers in Norway when engaging in science communication with non-academic audiences. Given the legal mandate for public science communication in Nordic universities, understanding these dynamics is crucial for enhancing the quality and impact of...

Online Health Information Seeking Behavior (OHISB) refers to an individual’s proactive engagement in seeking health information from diverse sources to facilitate informed health-related decisions. There is a significant interrelation betweenOHIS and Health Literacy (HL), particularly in the ability to search, locate, evaluate, and utilize health i...

Introduction Waste in medical research is a relatively well-known issue. However, only a few initiatives exist to address this issue. Lean Management methods (Lean) were developed in industrial manufacturing and later applied within healthcare improvement. Overall, the results from studies of the application of Lean to healthcare appear to be posit...

Introduction In recent years, information technology and social media have experienced unprecedented growth, particularly in the Nordic countries. However, there is a noticeable lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the latest research findings on online health information seeking behaviour (OHISB) among young adults (18 to >30). There is a...

The availability of accurate health information and the ability to navigate online sources play a crucial role in empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their physical and mental well-being. With the integration of internet, portable technology, social media, and artificial intelligence (AI), young adults (≥ 18) have increasingly r...

In modern welfare states in Scandinavia all citizens have, in principle, equal access to education and health services. Yet health inequities between population groups increase. Why? Health consumers often choose to seek out websites, social media, or digital communities for information when facing a question regarding health. Further, recent stud...

A comment on “For NGOs, article-processing charges sap conservation funds” by Wood et al.

Nations the world over are increasingly turning to quantitative performance-based metrics to evaluate the quality of research outputs, as these metrics are abundant and provide an easy measure of ranking research. In 2010, the Danish Ministry of Science and Higher Education followed this trend and began portioning out a percentage of the available...

A problematic practice has evolved, which is threatening to undermine research in the social sciences and humanities. Bibliometrics is often claimed to be able to measure researchers’ efficiency. We find this quite problematic and, in this article, we illustrate this point by discussing two different bibliometric practices. One is the so-called h-i...

Having a viable publication strategy at an early stage of the career can nowadays make a researcher. Not having one appears to break them. We as librarians are in a unique position to guide them in their endeavours to create a viable publication strategy. In this paper we use Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory as our theoretical framework for unde...

Researchers in Europe are increasingly assessed by their publication metrics. To uncover the effect of quantitative assessment on the publication strategies of clinical researchers in Denmark, we interviewed 9 senior researchers at the Department of Clinical Research at the University of Southern Denmark with the lowest and highest values for a, as...

There are major challenges that need to be addressed in the world of scholarly communication, especially in the field of environmental studies and in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Recently, Sonne et al. (2020) published an article in Science of the Total Environment discussing some of these challenges. However, we...

A central question concerning scientific publishing is how researchers select journals to which they submit their work, since the choice of publication channel can make or break researchers. The gold-digger mentality developed by some publishers created the so-called predatory journals that accept manuscripts for a fee with little peer review. The...

Research librarians no longer need to perform as many of the traditional chores of the research library. This is due to many factors like digitalization, changing research policies and changes in researchers’ behaviour. With these changes also comes a demand for new skills. We seek an answer to how this demand can be met. We argue that changes that...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the escape motivations of the emerging market and provide suggestions for Australia’s promotion. This study adopts the push and pull framework to identify travel motivations of Emirati nationals to Australia. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a series of focus groups and in-depth intervie...

This study describes the Danish publication award system (BFI), investigates whether its built-in incentives have had an effect on publication behavior at the University of Southern Denmark, and discusses the possible future implications on researcher incentives should universities wish to measure BFI on the individual level. We analyzed publicatio...

Det er velkendt, at menneskers forestillinger om hinanden påvirker deres evne til at samarbejde. Formålet med denne artikel er at analysere, hvilke forestillinger forskere har om journalister. Undersøgelsen baserer sig på et kvalitativt datasæt bestående af interview med 10 forskere før og efter mødet med en journalist. Det viser sig, at forskerne...

The objective of this article is to analyze the role played by researchers in news media. The method is a quantitative content analysis of 640 newspaper articles combined with two surveys: of journalists (N = 362) and researchers (N = 342) respectively. The conclusions are that researchers from the soft disciplines mainly contribute to hard news or...

Media plays an important role in shaping public perceptions of youth. Previous studies have shown consistently negative images of youth in news media through a heavy focus on crime, accidents, and moral decay. Most research in this area has only collected data over short timeframes, which makes it difficult to register possible changes in modes of...

Moderne massemedier spiller en stor rolle for, hvordan vi opfatter og forstår ungdommen, og tidligere internationale undersøgelser har vist, at medierne overvejende formidler et negativt billede af de unge. På baggrund af kvantitative indholdsanalyser belyser artiklen hvordan de unge er blevet fremstillet i et udvalg af danske aviser over de senest...

Der eksisterer et sært forhold mellem medie- og journalistikforskere og journalister. Forholdet kan formentlig forklares ud fra de to professioners gensidige respekt på nogle områder og mangel på samme på andre. Formålet med denne artikel er at udforske denne betragtning. Jeg tager udgangspunkt i en kvalitativ tekstanalyse og undersøger, hvordan me...

■Media hypes are a well known phenomenon. They occur on a regular basis and attract much media attention, but there is very little knowledge about them. This article supplements Vasterman's analysis of the phenomenon and presents new empirical evidence. Through a case study of five Danish media hypes occurring between 2000 and 2005, the article sho...

Media hypes on social problems occur on a regular basis and they seem to generate a lot of political activity. This article asks the question whether media hypes have any influence on public policies central issue of the hype—and if any, what kind of influence? Five media hypes on the same subject area (the care for and spending on the elderly) are...

The article seeks the roots of the journalistic concept of objectivity in various theoreti- cal schools. It argues that the concept of objectivity in journalism originates in the positivistic tradition and, furthermore, that it is strongly related to tan earlier theoretical school within historiography. Journalism has made several attempts have bee...

This article discusses how samples of records for laboratory IR experiments on OPACs can be constructed so that results obtained from different experiments can be compared. The literature on laboratory IR experiments seems to indicate that the retrieval effectiveness (recall and precision) is affected by the way the samples of records for such expe...

In the beginning of the 1990s it was decided to start educating journalists at two Danish universities. This was decided in the hope that such academic journalists would carry greater insight into that work. Therefore for the curricula of these students of journalism some traditional academic disciplines were introduced. One such academic disciplin...
