An Empirically Grounded Framework for Documenting Digital Cultural Heritage Use/Reuse
Over several decades, digital cultural heritage has been increasingly reused across research, education, creative practice and through public community engagement. However, these activities remain undescribed or inconsistently documented and difficult to compare. Organisations typically rely on ‘proxy metrics’ such as downloads, page views or reverse searches to assess use/reuse. However, these metrics reveal little about how materials were trans…

Mirroring journalistic work in newsroom metrics: A longitudinal study of Estonian journalists’ making sense of data
While a substantial body of research has explored the intricate relationship between journalists and metrics, there remains a notable gap in systematically understanding how evolving metrics over time influence journalists’ use of data as feedback.

The stu…
Data reflectivity and user reflexivity: New conceptual pathways for connecting structural approaches with user perspectives
Ongoing societal datafication and, most recently, the widely noticed launch of ChatGPT, continue to raise the “user question”: what role(s) does the user play in datafied, artificial, and automated environments? Recent technological advancements have begun to challenge fundamental assumptions in media and communication theory and, thus, urge scholars to (re-)visit and (re-)examine the interrelations, dynamics, and entanglements of (human) users w…
Encoding object-oriented democracy in Swedish museums: Implementing Method of the Thing in Exhibition-Making
As museums face conflicting demands on maintaining and caring for their collections, opening for visitor engagement, and being more inclusive in their practice, new approaches are needed to museum work. This article introduces a democratic and inclusive approach focusing on the relational properties of the artefact – the Method of the Thing (Tigenes Metode). We use interviews with different museum professionals in Sweden. The method allows knowle…
Datafying Museum Visitors: A Research Agenda
Museums are participating in the capturing of global data for the perceived benefit of improved relationships with the public.

This article discusses how different forms of autoethnographic production prompted by diverse forms of academic self-expression can lead to different types of knowing. Utilizing five examples from the Massive_Microscopic project, where participants responded to 21 different prompts inviting autoethnographic reflections about COVID-19 global pandemic, the article explores the responses from the perspective of alternative ways of knowing, reflectin…
Data loop of media and audience: How audiences and media actors make datafication work
As our digital footprints are collected and analysed by the media and fed back at us as new experiences, providing more data to collect, data circulates in a loop from audiences to media and back. This data loop is for media studies an occasion to revisit the media-audience nexus in an age of datafication. We argue that an audience perspective is needed in order to break with the structure-agency linearity in current understanding of datafication…

The relationship between Internet user type and user performance when carrying out simple vs. complex search tasks

Yet, the question is whether being active in related areas like communicating online, writing blog articles or commenting on community forums have an impact on a person’s ability to perform Web searches, is still unanswered. Web searching has become a key task conducted online; in this paper we present our findings on whether the user type, w…

With the help of empirical indicators for each domain, this article uses the case of…
