Abstract:
Purpose With increasing emphasis on public engagement and scientific communication and dissemination, scientists are increasingly required to redefine their academic identity. Theoretical frameworks of academic identity and social media functionality were used to explore food researchers' attitudes towards social media. Design/methodology/approach An online study was carried out with 80 scientists working in publicly funded food research. Findings Commitment to scientific rigour, disseminating science to society, and being part of an academic community were important facets of academic identity and shaped participants' perceptions of social media functions. Functions offered by social media were most favourably viewed by the food research community for academic peer engagement and academic community building. Social implications Cultural and organisational changes are needed to mobilise food researchers to view public engagement as an important facet of academic identity. Originality/value The current study adds to the theoretical literature on academic identity and social media functionality by providing empirical evidence outlining how scientists working in publicly funded food research feel about engaging with social media within their professional role.Keywords:

The article deals with one of the features of work – originality. Using comparative and system analysis methods the conception of originality is examined in two main aspects: originality as criteria to determine whether the work is a result of creative work and originality as criteria to determine if the result of work is not copied from the other work. The first meaning of originality in the states with different law systems is examined: the objective requirement of originality is applied in common law states (the work is original if enough of labour, skill and judgement invested in it); the subjective requirement of originality is applied in continental law states (the work is original if it reflects the personality of the author). The changes in conception of originality in modern works are discussed. The need to protect the new non-material values conditions the declining of requirements for originality. The originality is kept when the work is the result of author’s personal creative activity. The author comes to a conclusion that currently the different requirements of originality for the different kinds of works are applied: the high level of originality is typical for traditional works of art and lower level is characteristic for applied art works and new forms of works (databases, computer programs, photography). The example of case law where the court stated the originality of work, which was created using computer programs, is given. Analysing the second meaning of originality the author searches for the criteria which lets to state the originality of derivative work and the illegal use of work. The problem of protected and non-protected elements of work (the dichotomy of content and form) is discussed, trying to define not protected elements which are not subject of exclusive authors’ rights. The originality of derivative works is examined, saying that the common requirements of originality for them are applied. The article contains review of Lithuanian case law examples: the court stated the violation of copyright because new drawings were exact or similar copy of original ones. The conclusions are given in the end of article.

The topic of this paper is to describe the defining criteria of originality of song works. The aspect of originality is important to make such work be protected by Copyright Law. In this research, the criteria to define originality are based on certain doctrines and/or theories of originality that may vary case by case. The use of such doctrines and/or theories are necessary, since the stipulations regarding originality in the Indonesian Copyright Act has not been considered suffice. With regard to the song works, the criteria of originality may be different from other works. Therefore, a comprehensive research on the characteristics of song as a work is also important. This research is a qualitative research with prescriptive design. The research depicts the use of certain doctrines and/or theories as supplementary provisions to the Copyright Law in defining the originality of songs, which have specific characteristics resulted from their author’s creations and intellectuals.

Ss high and low in originality as defined by the “picture construction” portion of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, Form A (Torrance, 1968) judged the originality of drawings made by others and by themselves. 52 Ss low in originality discriminated among three independently defined levels of originality of drawings made by others more accurately than 52 Ss high in originality. Ss low in originality who were told they had made accurate judgments as to the originality of other's drawings increased the judgment of their own originality specimens, while high original Ss who were told their judgments of other's originality were not very accurate did not increase judgment of their originality specimens. The implications of these results for Festinger's (1954) social-comparison theory are discussed.

A commonly held belief in the IS discipline is that rigour and relevance are contrary to each other and that addressing both is virtually impossible. It is also believed widely that the editorial practices of our premier conferences and journals over-emphasise rigour on the cost of relevance. However, while these two topics have been filled with numerous subjective discussions, more solid evidence into the true relationship between rigour and relevance and the impact of conference editors on this relationship is still outstanding. This paper contributes to this debate by deriving empirical evidence from a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the characteristics of the submissions and the reviewing practices of three recent IS conferences. It provides first insights into the actual relationship between rigour and relevance and into the role conference chairs play in balancing rigour and relevance. Besides the outcomes that the current set of evaluation criteria does not provide a straight forward proxy for relevance to practitioners, the paper offers two main contributions. First, empirical insights are provided that rigour and relevance do in fact not have to be mutually exclusive. Second, the editorial practices at conferences are skewed towards rigorous papers rather than relevant papers.

Solicited diaries/journals are increasingly popular as an innovative qualitative method in the social sciences for better understanding people’s everyday lived experiences. In this article we create a framework for maintaining rigour while using such diaries. First, we systematically evaluate 43 research papers focusing on the method, drawing on Baxter and Eyles’ (1997) seminal evaluation of rigour in qualitative human geography research. We ascertain that significant improvements could be made to procedures for obtaining and analysing diary content. Second, we develop a framework to encourage rigour in diary research. We test our framework by evaluating research conducted by two of our authors who employed solicited diaries with street vendors in Vietnam. We propose that our analysis and framework can help social scientists improve the rigour of solicited diaries as a research method, and provide a model for enhancing rigour in other emerging qualitative approaches.

The definition of research appears to be a controversial subject in the academic community. It is almost becoming apparent that research remains a key element in master’s and doctoral degrees. Originality is, to varying degrees, the primary concern for the genuineness of research, but there is a difference of opinion on the concept of originality. In practice, a subjective analysis of originality is performed at the time of the assessment of the said degrees’ theses; therefore, the resulting evaluation is affected by the difference of opinion on the concept of originality. It has also emerged that the concept of originality in research is also marginally unique in various areas. This study is focused upon reaching a point of agreement for the definition of originality in the theses/dissertation of masters and doctorate degrees in engineering only. The outcome of the research should be something new and originally contribute to the body of knowledge. This study focused on to arrive at an accurate definition of originality in university degrees in the field of engineering. An online survey was designed and carried out on the basis of evidence and expert opinion. The survey was distributed amongst engineering peers. The results of the survey are systematically summed up in the study.
