Using docear with zotero9/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This should open an installation dialog, and you need to confirm all messages in the dialog. To do so, download the add-on, store it on your hard drive, and open the downloaded file with LibreOffice or OpenOffice. The freelancer sent me a demo version that you can try out. However, I suggest you get an idea of the add-on yourself. Personally, I have some doubts that the final add-on will meet the quality expectations I have, and that probably most Docear users have. However, I have to point out that my satisfaction with the current progress and outcomes are not overwhelming. So, most likely he will finish the add-on some day – maybe in 2 months, maybe in 6 months, maybe in a year. The freelancer is still working on the add-on. The question arises, how to proceed? We see the following options: In addition, we are still missing a significant amount of donations to fully pay the developer ($1,000 are missing). Well, that estimate wasn’t quite precise – the developer hasn’t finished even an alpha version yet. Originally, we estimated that it would take about 2 months before the work was completed, or at least a decent demo version was ready to released. This newly found enthusiasm will soon become integral part of the positive habits and cultural practices of research communicators in LIS domain.More than half a year ago, we started a call for donation to pay a freelancer who wanted to develop an add-on for LibreOffice and OpenOffice, comparable to Docear4Word. These tools and techniques, already adopted by many researchers in different subject areas across the world, should be enthusiastically utilized by LIS researchers in South Asia for global dissemination of their scholarly research works. Fortunately, present day research communicators have many freely available personalized digital tools to outreach to globalized research audiences having similar research interests. Similarly, our published scholarly works should be outreached to future researchers for regeneration of next dimension of knowledge. Published scholarly literatures we consult that help us in creation of new knowledge. We must recognize a relay of information flow and information ecology while pursuing scholarly research. Scholarly information becomes both developmental and functional for researchers working towards advancement of knowledge. In a globalized society, information becomes very useful resource for socio-economic empowerment of marginalized communities, economic prosperity of common citizens, and knowledge enrichment of liberated minds. The emergence of Web 2.0 and simultaneously Library 2.0 platforms has helped the library and information professionals to outreach to new audiences beyond their physical boundaries. Although the appropriate use of ICTs can have beneficial impact on the field of policy studies wherever it is applied, such activity in the context of small island developing countries such as those found in the Pacific Islands, which do not have large libraries or systematic retention of public records, can be all the greater. Finally, there is a “digital divide” in the levels of access and opportunity that researchers and policy makers have, which needs to be addressed if more equitable use of ICTs is to take place. Whereas some may have an expert level of knowledge through training in information sciences, a far greater number have not had such exposure. Secondly, there is considerable variance in the abilities of students in policy studies – at both graduate and undergraduate levels - in the use of emerging ICTs, and this issue must be addressed if graduates of public policy and of public management are to make full use of the information tools becoming available to them. The first of these observations is that the range of ICT tools is expanding rapidly and this in turn is changing knowledge practices that build on novel capabilities and opportunities - as will be described below. The Project was prompted by several observations concerning available technologies, student needs, and public policy in developing countries at the current time. Irina Elgort (University Teaching Development Centre) and Prof. The principal investigator was supported by Dr. This project examined the potential that emerging ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) hold for improving student experience in learning about public policy in developing country contexts. ![]()
