Week 6 - Academic Articles

For this blog I looked at a couple of academic articles and answered the questions given to me.


Article 1

Title: The Impacts of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence On Business and Economics
Author: Cüneyt Dirican
APA reference: Dirican, C. (2015). The impacts of robotics, artificial intelligence on business and economics. Procedia-Social and Behavioral Sciences, 195, 564-573.
How you found the article and what keywords you used: I searched “artificial intelligence” on Google Scholar
What kind of article it is: Conference Paper
All the reasons that you think it is an academic article: It has a layout that matches the structure of an academic article. The first give away was that it has an abstract, then after opening it I could see that it followed the layout closely. It was also peer reviewed by a university.
How well it fits the 'structure of an academic article: See above
How many references it has: 70
How many citations it has (if you can find out): 36
URL: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877042815036137
Say whether you are interested in properly reading the article or not (and give some reasons!): I probably won’t read the article, it’s long and it’s dense. I also don’t like that it doesn’t really have headings which makes it even harder to read. The subject is interesting though, so maybe if I’m in the mood I’ll give it a crack.

Article 2


Title: Progress in structural materials for aerospace systems
Authors: James C Williams & Edgar A Starke Jr
APA reference: Williams, J. C., & Starke Jr, E. A. (2003). Progress in structural materials for aerospace systems. Acta Materialia, 51(19), 5775-5799.
How you found the article and what keywords you used: I searched “aerospace” on Google Scholar
What kind of article it is: A journal article
All the reasons that you think it is an academic article: First off, it has an abstract, and it also has an outline that matches the academic article layout that Lars showed us. I couldn’t actually read this one because I have to purchase access to it, but there was plenty of information to show it was an academic article. It also has over a thousand citations according to Google Scholar.
How well it fits the 'structure of an academic article: See above
How many references it has: This was hidden
How many citations it has (if you can find out): 1321
URL: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1359645403005020
Say whether you are interested in properly reading the article or not
(and give some reasons!): This one I couldn’t read if I wanted to! I would have to purchase the PDF first. I also don’t have interest in the field so I don’t really feel the need to read stuff like this.

Week 4 - Paradigms

Paradigms What is a paradigm? To start of this blog, we first need to understand what a paradigm is, then how it relates to science. owlcation.com has a fantastic description of what a paradigm is:  "Essentially, a paradigm is a set of assumptions governing how we interact and interpret the world." Basically a paradigm is the assumptions which we generally believe to be true, it's a perspective of what we think is real and true that we base our thinking on. Everyone has their own paradigm which reflects their beliefs and experiences. In relation to science, a paradigm is a shared set of assumptions and beliefs. Scientists can't explain the universe and how it works, so they form a paradigm to base their thinking on. Without this base you can't start because there is no starting point. Paradigms don't always stay the same. Sometimes the assumptions can be proven wrong, and new scientific progress is made. New sets of assumptions are made. This ...

Week 3 - Ontology and Epistemology

This blog I'll be giving my answers for the homework questions given to us last week about ontology and Epistemology What is ontology? How is it relevant to research? According to philosophyterms.com/ontology/  "Ontology is the study of being. " Ontology looks at what things  exists, and what existence  is. With ontology you are looking at the objects around you and making assumptions on what is real. It is a matter of perspective. What is Epistemology? How is it relevant to research? According to  britannica.com/topic/epistemology, Epistemology is " t he philosophical study of the nature, origin, and limits of human  knowledge . " Epistemology doesn't look at what is physical but rather what we know about the world and how to justify what we believe. Epistemology looks past our perspective of the world and tries to explain and justify our knowledge of what we think is real  What is the connection between ontology and epistemology in a re...
