Academic Social Networking Sites (ASNs) have become one of the most important platforms in modern information and education industries. It will definitely become an essential mechanism to communicate, connect and collaborate among the scholarly community. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive investigation of ASNs such as Academia, ResearchGate, Mendeley and Zotero, and identify the features of ASNs. We also discuss the opportunities for ASNs and provide the challenges. Challenges related to ASNs are: collecting relevant data and identifying data quality, finding evaluation metrics and also developing efficient algorithms. Disciplinary differences in domain area and academic position become the opportunities why academicians use ASNs.
This study assessed the advocacies by various parties on the factors that lead to the emergence of homelessness symptoms in Malaysia. The present study was on field observations, social participation, and intensive interviews with the homeless (hot sports location) in Kuala Lumpur. This study contradicted the common advocacies that the factors of homelessness in Malaysia are due to economic problems such as costly rental for a house, difficulty in employment, and underpaid. On the other hand, the findings obtained from this study showed that the fundamental factor that produced the symptoms of homelessness in Malaysia was mental health. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to raise awareness among parties that efforts to determine the root cause of homelessness in the city should not only involve an economic approach but should be based on a sociocultural-psychology technique instead.
