Research on work-family conflict has focused on individuals, and little is known as to how spouses perceive each other’s work-family conflict and how inaccuracies of such perceptions relate to relationship quality.

It is widely thought that news organizations exhibit ideological bias, but rigorously quantifying such slant has proven methodologically challenging. Through a combination of machinelearning and crowdsourcing techniques, we investigate the selection and framing of political issues in fifteen major US news outlets. Starting with 803,146 news stories published over twelve months, we first used su...

S ome vertebrates, such as fi sh, amphibians, and lizards, have the ability to replace lost limbs and regenerate organs.

Weidinger has spent his career so far studying aspects of zebrafish embryogenesis, including the role of Wnt signaling molecules (1, 2), and has more recently been inves...

This paper focuses on argumentative diagrams for computer-supported collaborative argumentation-based learning. Thirty pairs of students discussed two cases on the topic of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) via the computer. They communicated via chat. Pairs of students were either asked to collaboratively construct a diagram using argumentative labels to describe the boxes in the diagram, ...

This paper takes a slightly light-hearted look at what defines an ethical researcher, and concludes that most of research is done in an entirely unethical way. It shows the way forward for such unethical researchers and makes a contribution to the field of ICT research, where questions about ethics have rarely surfaced, let alone been addressed.

National Statistical Institutes [NSIs] are increasingly investigating new ways of providing access to confidential microdata for research purposes. These innovations are being driven by the requirement for NSIs to ensure the best possible return for their investments in data collection coupled with researchers’ increasing demand for highly detailed microdata. After a long period of decline as N...
