🚨 Publication alert: Android log data are increasingly used in research, so @dougaparry and I have developed the first step-by-step tutorial on how to actually extract behavioral metrics from them. Read it now in Computational Communication Research: doi.org/10.5117/CCR202…

This paper is supposed to help researchers handle raw Android log data in a systematic manner and facilitate access to this rich source of information 🔑. Feel free to use and share it. Feedback is very welcome!

The supp. material includes a working rendition in R code, an example data set with raw Android log data, and the data set that results from applying the code to it. There are also lists that helps identify background processes and app names 📋 - with a script to retrieve them.

Academic ironies

Check out this blog post on a preprint article providing a tutorial for extracting use metrics from raw Android log data, created by @dougaparry and myself: methodslab.weizenbaum-institut.de/2024/10/01/new… It is worth a read for anyone working with such data 👩🏾‍💻!

Why numbers are sometimes better than words. What people think you say when you say “little chance,” “probably not,” or “highly likely.”

Students at Stanford have built alphaXiv, an open discussion forum for arXiv papers. Think of it as 𝕏 for research.

@dougaparry @StellenboschUni @communicationVU @VUamsterdam Moving closer ❤️ congrats again 🙏🏻🙏🏻

📢 From 1st-year student to Senior Lecturer, it’s been an amazing 14 years @StellenboschUni, but now it's time for a new chapter. 🎓 I'm excited to be joining @communicationVU at @VUamsterdam as an Assistant Professor of Media Psychology this November! 🇳🇱

🚨 New preprint! @dougaparry, @mjemmer, and I investigated the times, gratifications, locations, and activities alongside smartphone and app use in Germany 📱. To do so, we used a combination of surveys, MESM, logging, and data donations. doi.org/10.31235/osf.i…

Me presenting my research

I'm European. I recently visited the USA for the first time since 2018, hitting up Las Vegas and New York City. What I witnessed left me stunned. 15 American oddities I still can't wrap my head around:

When somebody cites my paper

@mqr_mobile @qinli0 @eliza_riggs12 @OhioStateComm @raziehprfsr @JoeBBayer Congrats 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Can’t make this up, my in-flight tv is already hacked on the way to defcon

@Jingshi_Kang @dougaparry Thank you, I hope it serves you well!

@TothRol @dougaparry Looks cool. Thanks for your work and I think it would be very useful for my projects 🥰

🚨 New preprint! Android log data are increasingly used in research, but the process of extracting behavioral metrics from them is usually trivialized - so @dougaparry and I have developed the first step-by-step tutorial on how to do that. osf.io/preprints/psya…
