Central to this is affect, which is an attractive concept to organization studies scholars, as seen in the pages of this journal regarding, for example, resistance (Marsh & Śliwa, 2022), creativity (Leclair, 2023) and (un)acceptable bodies (van Amsterdam, van Eck, & Kjær, 2023). This book defines affect as the sense of a space, its expectations, people, artefacts and objects, the ‘atmosphere of the room, the intensities between bodies and non-human objects’ (p. 1). The powerful collection, drawn together by Carolyn Hunter and Nina Kivinen, immediately offers organization studies scholars the opportunity to understand affect as we engage in research outside our work world and within our own work world. Affect is of great importance to allow us, organization studies scholars, to both delve into new research arenas and increase the richness of those already in existence.

We are pleased to share our latest position paper, Authorship and Accountability Standards for Hybrid Intelligence. This paper introduces a pioneering framework that recognizes artificial intelligence as a legitimate co-creator in academic and professional work. As hybrid intelligence becomes increasingly integral to research and innovation, traditional authorship standards—rooted in human-centric concepts of intent and accountability—face significant limitations. This framework addresses these gaps, offering a structured approach that values substantial contributions from both human and digital intelligences. We invite researchers, industry professionals, and academic institutions to explore this proposal and consider its implications for the future of collaborative knowledge creation. 🔗 Access the full paper: https://lnkd.in/eDwZMKcu

Isto Huvila and I have a new article out in the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (published within the journal JASIST), "Trends in information behavior research, 2016–2022." In this article, we take a big-picture view of the literature on human-information interaction and comment on emerging trends. Published #OpenAccess! https://lnkd.in/gUF6v4CQ

Our new study just came out in Science Magazine! The study tackles the political economy of adopting and using field experiments in organizations. Our focus is on governments, but the learnings are applicable to all organizations. We argue for a key procedural change: systematically combining policy evaluation with causal analysis of public support allows scholars to create a body of knowledge on the conditions under which policies become more (or less) popular after implementation and what are the drivers of changes in beliefs and public support.

Ian I. Mitroff’s article "William James and a Theory of Thinking" in the Journal of Information Technology Theory and Application explores William James' distinction between "tough-minded" and "tender-minded" thinking. It argues that solving complex social problems requires integrating multiple perspectives, moving beyond traditional scientific and mathematical problem-solving methods. Mitroff advocates for a pragmatic and ethical approach to thinking, emphasizing the need for creativity and critical thinking in addressing modern challenges. 🔗 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/g8XAGVVj #CriticalThinking #WilliamJames #ComplexProblems - #research #researchpublication #researchexcellence #researchpaper #researchstudy #researchpapers #researchinsights

"Information science is the study of the properties, flow, and activities related to information, including its production, storage, and retrieval. This science helps in building systems to manage knowledge and information effectively." Bawden, D., & Robinson, L. (2012). Introduction to Information Science.

Opinion polls seem to have missed the mark again, especially with the popular vote. It’s clear we need to pause, reflect, and ask ourselves some hard questions about the reliability of today’s sampling and research methods. An article I read recently put it well: “In the golden age of random sampling, polling was based on a scientific method, with a defined procedure that would produce a defined probabilistic outcome. Whereas now, you just have to throw modeling decision after modeling decision at raw polling data and hope your assumptions hold.” This isn’t just about polling—Quick, online DIY research methods are everywhere. But what’s the cost of bad research? Cutting corners with assumptions and modeling can create insights that aren’t as sound as they need to be. As researchers and analysts, maybe it’s time we focus on quality over speed and revisit what makes for good research. Real insights require solid foundations. 🧠 #ResearchQuality #Polling #DataIntegrity #MarketResearch

I am happy to announce the reopening of our highly successful special issue in the Axioms journal: "Fuzzy Set Theory and Its Applications in Decision Making 2." https://lnkd.in/eZzi5C-g Our previous special issue, "Fuzzy Set Theory and Its Applications in Decision Making," https://lnkd.in/eZ6MV5d7 was a tremendous success, being ranked among the top five special issues of Axioms in the past three years! The average citation per article was an impressive 8.1, reflecting the significant impact and contributions of our authors. Encouraged by the journal's support and the scholarly community's enthusiasm, we are reopening the special issue to further explore and expand the innovative applications of Fuzzy Set Theory in decision-making processes.
