“…Aspects of RMS performance have been evaluated and compared, including comparisons between references created using web-based tools and EndNote (Kessler & Van Ullen, 2005), and between searches performed in RMS and those made in databases (Fitzgibbons & Meert, 2010). There is similar, but less copious, output on these topics in the literature of other disciplines, particularly in medical and public health sciences (for example, Lackey et al, 2014;Lorenzetti & Ghali, 2013;Steele, 2008;Zaugg, West, Tateishi, & Randall, 2011).…”

An examination of Library and Information Studies literature about scholarly communication reveals that less attention has been paid to the outcomes of reference management instruction in academic libraries than on comparisons and evaluations of reference management software (RMS) and surveys of levels of its use. While there are studies examining the reference management practices of academics and students, the practices of those not using RMS have remained largely unexplored. This article reports on the findings of a small-scale applied research project aimed at understanding the reference management practices of postgraduate students and academics in the Arts Faculty at Monash University. A questionnaire was completed by 81 students and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 8 students and 13 academics in the Faculty. Analysis shows that the reference management practices detailed in this study are individual and personal, and do not always involve the use of RMS. The reasons for adopting these practices are informed by a wide range of institutional and personal factors. RMS use itself is also varied, with few of the interviewees utilising all the core features of the software. A broader approach to reference management instruction and support would increase the relevance of library instruction.

“…They reported they would prefer to dedicate their full attention to the patient during the call, rather than having to capture notes simultaneously. • In order to minimise the amount of manual typing required to write up consultation notes, two clinicians reported using text expanders (Lackey et al, 2014) (macros that trigger a pre-written section of text when a keyword is typed), three use pre-written templates (such as Word documents, created by clinicians themselves, that they copy and paste from), and one clinician uses dictation software to speed up the creation of action plans. • Two out of the seven clinicians find value in the manual act of note-taking to help them organise their thought processes and guide them towards a suitable action plan.…”

A growing body of work uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods to automatically generate medical notes from audio recordings of doctor-patient consultations. However, there are very few studies on how such systems could be used in clinical practice, how clinicians would adjust to using them, or how system design should be influenced by such considerations. In this paper, we present three rounds of user studies, carried out in the context of developing a medical note generation system. We present, analyse and discuss the participating clinicians' impressions and views of how the system ought to be adapted to be of value to them. Next, we describe a three-week test run of the system in a live telehealth clinical practice. Major findings include (i) the emergence of five different note-taking behaviours; (ii) the importance of the system generating notes in real time during the consultation; and (iii) the identification of a number of clinical use cases that could prove challenging for automatic note generation systems.

“…New information systems tend to influence politics and culture. Innovative applications may lead to behavior changes; for example, the advent of sophisticated mobile devices led to more flexibility with audio and video data and digital note-taking using pen-based devices (Lackey et al, 2014a(Lackey et al, , 2014b. Important meeting content may be displayed on handheld devices and give a concise overview of recent work activities, thus increasing people's efficiency and making the daily job more convenient in general.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to describe a new supervised machine learning study on the prediction of meeting participant's personal note-taking from spoken dialogue acts uttered shortly before writing. Design/methodology/approach -This novel approach of providing cues for finding important meeting events that would be worth recording in a meeting summary looks at temporal overlaps of multiple people's note-taking. This research uses data of 124 meetings taken from the AMI meeting corpus. Findings -The results show that several machine learning methods that the authors compared were able to classify the data significantly better than a random approach. The best model, decision trees with feature selection, achieved 70 per cent accuracy for the binary distinction writing for any number of participants simultaneously or no writing, whereas the performance for a more fine-grained distinction of the number of participants taking notes showed only about 30 per cent accuracy. Research limitations/implications -The findings suggest that meeting participants take personal notes in accordance with the utterance of previously uttered speech acts, particularly dialogue acts about disfluencies and assessments appear to influence the note-taking activities. However, further research is necessary to examine other domains and to determine in what way this behaviour is helpful as a feature source for automatic meeting summarisation, which is useful for more efficiently satisfying people's information needs about meeting contents. Practical implications -The reader of an Information Systems (IS) journal would be interested in this paper because the work described and the findings gained could lead to the development of novel information systems that facilitate the work for businesses and individuals. Innovative meeting capture and retrieval applications, satisfying automatic summaries of important meeting points and sophisticated note-taking tools that suggest content automatically could make people's daily lives more convenient in the future. Social implications -There are wider implications in terms of productivity and efficiency. Business value is increased for the organisation, as human knowledge is built more or less automatically. There are also cognitive and social implications for individuals and possibly an impact on the society as a whole. It is also important for globalisation, social media and mobile devices. Originality/value -The topic is new and original, as there has not been much research on it yet. Similar work was carried out recently (Murray, 2015;Bothin and Clough 2014). This is why it is relevant to an IS journal and interesting for the reader. In particular, dialogue acts about disfluencies and assessments appear to influence the note-taking activities. This behaviour is helpful as a feature source Our thanks go to the creators of the AMI meeting corpus for providing us with large amounts of annotated meeting data. We are also grateful to the anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments.The curr...
