Societal discussions flow on social media platforms that are studied by researchers in multiple ways and through various kinds of data sets that are extracted from them. In the studies of these discussions, multimodality unravels the semiotic modes that are communication resources through which meanings are socially and culturally created and expressed. In addition, the viewpoint of affordances can be used for viewing the functions of social media platforms and their discussions. Furthermore, this review was conducted to better understand how social media comments are researched from the perspective of multimodality in the context of digital journalism and political communication. A systematic literature review and qualitative content analysis were used as methods. The review discovered that the studies under review were not that high in multimodality and that text as an individual mode was the most common one. Furthermore, Twitter was the most researched platform and the one where the use of modes was more thoroughly explained.

Since the mid-2000s platforms and platform work have greatly proliferated. Although also research on platforms and platforms has expanded, there seems to be a great gulf between IT- and social research on these issues. In this article, I show, using sociologist Maurizio Lazzarato’s concepts, that the technical infrastructure of the platform, in particular the algorithm, has a direct impact on work and the agency of the platform worker. From this perspective, it is possible to ask critical questions about platforms and platform work from a multidisciplinary viewpoint. Methodologically, an ethnographic approach that sees algorithms as part of culture, with its own institutions, impact on people and intersection with different contexts, could support co-operation between different disciplines. When such an approach is combined with insights from algorithm studies, research is also relevant for existing political questions regarding platform workers’ labour market status and the functioning of platform firms.

Voting advice applications (VAAs) seek to strengthen democracy by assisting voters in voting-related decision-making. VAAs have become popular tools across many European democracies and their usage has been linked to real life electoral consequences. As VAA usage has become more prominent, this has also sparked research interest toward VAA design. However, most of the VAA design research has been conducted on party-based VAAs, whereas candidate-based VAAs that are in use in countries such as Finland, Denmark and Switzerland have been largely ignored. Moreover, research on overall VAA designs, in comparison to individual VAA design elements, is non-existent. This article discusses interdependencies of VAA design choices and proposes overall VAA designs that can improve existing Finnish candidate-based VAA designs, encouraging Finnish VAA developers to update their designs. Future research should develop and test the suggested designs, as more research on the topic is needed, especially regarding VAA user experiences.

Informaatiotutkimuksen tavoitteena on kehittää uusia tapoja tuottaa, organisoida ja käyttää tietoa sekä yksilöiden että organisaatioiden näkökulmasta. Tässä katsauksessa esitellään kulttuurihistoriallisen tiedon tuottajia ja käyttäjiä palvelevan ns. Sampo-mallin sovellus Biografiasampo kansalaisille, digitaalisten ihmistieteiden tutkijoille ja uusien sovellusten kehittäjille. Biografiasammon kunnianhimoisena tavoitteena on käynnistää uusi aikakausi elämäkertakokoelmien julkaisemisessa ja käyttämisessä verkossa semanttisen webin teknologioita ja linkitetyn avoimen datan julkaisuperiaatteita hyödyntäen. Innovaationa on luoda kieliteknologian, tekoälyn ja semanttisen webin teknologioiden avulla elämäkertojen teksteistä ja niihin eri lähteissä liittyvistä tietokannoista tietämysverkko (knowledge graph) osana kansallista tietoinfrastruktuuria. Sovelluksen ydinaineistona ovat Kansallisbiografia ja muut Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seuran toimittamat ja julkaisemat pienoiselämäkerrat, yhteensä 13 100 elämäntarinaa, joita on kirjoittanut 980 suomalaista tutkijaa maamme suurimmaksi sanotussa historiantutkimuksen hankkeessa. Elämäkerroista louhittua dataa on rikastettu automaattisen loogisen päättelyn avulla ja linkittämällä sitä 16 muuhun tietolähteeseen. Tietämysverkko on julkaistu linkitetyn avoimen datan Linked Data Finland -palvelussa. Datapalvelun avulla on toteutettu seitsemästä sovellusnäkymästä koostuva älykäs, avoin ja maksuton verkkopalvelu biografiasampo.fi, jolla on ollut noin 50 000 käyttäjää. Sekä järjestelmän elämäkerrat että niistä louhittu data ovat avoimesti käytettävissä datapalveluna Linked Data Finland -alustalla.

This study examines open access availability and self-archiving policies of 336 Finnish peer reviewed journals and serials which are classified at levels 1 to 3 in national Publication Forum. The study concludes that 53 % of Finnish peer reviewed publication channels are open access and 12 % of non-open access publication channels have defined their green open access policy to allow self-archiving. 6 % of publications practice delayed open access model and 2 % hybrid model. The study also concludes that only a small group of Finnish peer reviewed journals meet the focal Plan S requirements.

ACM SIGIR –konferenssin yhteydessä 9. heinäkuuta 2018 Ann Arborissa (MI) USA:ssa. Aluksi tekijä kertoo taustastaan ja tarkastelee sitten joitakin tiedon hankinnan ja haun osa-alueita, jotka ovat olleet keskeisiä tekijän tutkimustyössä. Näihin kuuluvat tehtäväperusteinen tiedon hankinta ja informaatiovuorovaikutus, luonnollisen kielen käsittely yksi- ja monikielistä tiedonhakua varten ja tiedonhaun evaluointimetriikat. Lopuksi tekijä luonnostelee lähestymistavan informaatiovuorovaikutusta koskevan tutkimuksen organisointiin. Puhe on julkaistu englanniksi kokonaan SIGIR Forum verkkolehdessä, vol. 52 no. 2 (http://sigir.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/p052.pdf).
