Based on a structured literature analysis, this review paper takes stock of the current landscape of cloud service research: 66 IS journals and conference proceedings were examined on the topic of cloud services and the identified 158 relevant articles were systematically categorized on ten perspectives from the whole world, the industry, the organization, the IT department to the single cloud service. The descriptive findings show a focus of cloud service studies on private organizations as primary user group of the cloud in the information and communication industry pointing out the lack of cloud service research in the public sector and administrations and the need for egovernment specific implications. Results at the service level further show that the majority of all existing articles refer to infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) in general and hence, neglect to explicitly specify the particular cloud capability provided.
In Information Systems (IS) research, emotions are primarily measured using facial expressions of participants or self-reported survey results. To unite both measurement foci, we analyze the impact of facial emotional reactions to computer-induced stimuli on self-reported evaluations towards the respective stimulus by using a multi-method experimental approach with multi-channel analysis. We collected emotional expressions of happiness of 176 participants using eye-tracker and webcam technology together with a post-experimental survey. We contribute to IS research by supplementing self-reported measures of emotion with a physical emotional measure in response to a system's feature, and by relating these measured emotional physical responses to individual behavior.
Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt erste Ergebnisse einer Befragung von zirka 2000 Wissenschaftlern an deutschen Universitäten zum Thema "Publikationsverhalten im Hinblick auf Open Access" vor. Die Studie wurde im Rahmen eines an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt unter Mitarbeit von Forschern der Victoria University Canberra angesiedelten DFG-Projekts zur Erforschung alternativer Publikationsverfahren durchgeführt. Neben der Evaluation des Nationallizenzenprogramms der DFG ist die Analyse der immer noch zögerlichen Adaption von Open-Access-Modellen durch Wissenschaftler ein zentrales Anliegen desProjekts. Beide Zielsetzungen werden durch die Umfrage abgedeckt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
