Human Behaviour Change - APRICOT

We will be posting less of HBCPC & APRICOT on here. Want to keep getting updates? You can find us here: - humanbehaviourchange.org - linkedin.com/company/human-… - bsky.app/profile/hbcpro…

Interested in ontologies, but not sure if you could ever apply them in your own work? Do not miss this exciting editorial about the APRICOT project, which is all about usability and accessibility of ontologies! Read the editorial here: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-730…

Curious about what we have done so far? We have just organized all of the HBCP's publications within a gateway. Protip: If you hit the track button, you get a notification whenever a new publication is added to this gateway! More here: buff.ly/41HURDe

The first APRICOT publication is officially online! Have a look at this editorial to learn more about our aims and plans! You can read it here: lnkd.in/epCkhemK

Check out this recent publication on the newest addition to the BCIO: the Schedule Ontology, led by Marta Marques! Full paper here: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-721…

💡 This research dives into the potential of machine learning in extracting information and making predictions based on trial reports but also highlights key challenges in improving prediction accuracy.

🚨 New version of paper! 🚨 "Using machine learning to extract info & predict outcomes from smoking cessation trials" now published! 🔗 Read here: lnkd.in/dxnVpx3S

Big news! We're evolving: HBCP is now HBCP & APRICOT. Good news – we have a 5-year NIH grant to expand the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology and make it more useful and useable. Learn more about APRICOT: humanbehaviourchange.org Stay tuned for updates! 🍑

📚We launched the Behavioural & Social Sciences Ontology (BSSO) Foundry - a community-driven repository for creating & sharing ontologies. Together, we can streamline research efforts, reduce duplication, and enable meaningful integration across studies and disciplines.
