    [Purpose/Significance] Inter-organizational data sharing (IDS) is a powerful engine in the era of digital economy. It is of great significance to explore the barriers that exist in the practice of inter-organizational data sharing in China. [Method/Process] Based on the perspective of territoriality theory, this paper took the government data-sharing practices in three cities in central China as examples to conduct a case study. 37 territorial barriers were identified belonging to the three categories: organizational psychological cognition, organizational environment and organizational territorial behavior. A model of territorial barriers was constructed to IDS, and the logical relationship among the barriers was clarified based on the results of the case study. [Result/Conclusion] It finds that six types of territorial behaviors: territory establishment, identity-oriented marking, control-oriented marking, anticipatory defense, reactive defense, and territorial expansion, play an obstructive role in different stages of IDS. In addition, the results of the study show that the effects of organizational psychological cognition and organizational environmental barriers on different territorial behaviors are particularly focused, providing ideas for proposing feasible solutions to alleviate the territorial barriers to IDS in China.

    [Purpose/Significance] To investigate the influence mechanism and boundaries of data assetization on the new quality productive forces in enterprises through quantitative analysis can provide theoretical insights for enterprises to develop new quality productive forces and achieve high-quality growth. [Method/Process] This article took the strategic emerging industries listed on the China’s A-share market from 2010 to 2022 as research objects, and analyzed the impact of enterprise data assetization on enterprise new quality productive forces by quantifying the latter. [Result/Conclusion] Data assetization can significantly improve the development level of new quality productive forces of enterprises. After a series of robustness tests, such as instrumental variables, the results remain robust. At the same time, through heterogeneity analysis, it finds that the promoting effect of data assets on new quality productive forces is more pronounced in small-sized and state-owned enterprises. In addition, data assets not only improve the level of new quality productive forces of enterprises by alleviating financing constraints but also enhance it by improving the quality of internal control and the collaboration efficiency with upstream and downstream supply chain enterprises. This article provides empirical support for clarifying the path and boundary of the role of data assetization in enhancing new quality productive forces of enterprises, and can also provide policy basis for fully realizing the value and potential of data elements in China.

    [Purpose/Significance] This study designs indicators to measure the novelty of a scholar’s early knowledge structure based on the innovative characteristics inherent in it. The purpose is to predict the scholar’s future influence, thereby providing new indicators for the early identification of academic talents. [Method/Process] Firstly, a dataset of 59,207 scholars in the biomedical field was obtained from the PubMed knowledge graph (PKG) database, and the knowledge structure of scholars was constructed using the co-occurrence relationships of controlled subject terms. Secondly, 6 indicators were designed to measure the novelty of scholars’ early knowledge structures on two levels: knowledge units and structural positions. Then, scholars were classified and labeled based on their later influence, and some machine learning models were trained. Finally, the classification effectiveness of different models was evaluated using the combination variable method, and the predictive performance of indicators based on the novelty of knowledge structures was analyzed. [Result/Conclusion] The study finds that novelty indicators can effectively predict influence. Among single-indicator predictions, topic novelty (TN) performs the best, while the 4 structural indicators all outperform the topic combination novelty (TCN). The F1 value of the comprehensive indicators is improved by an average of 2.7%. The novelty of knowledge structures provides a perspective for predicting and understanding scholars’ academic influence from content characteristics. The indicators designed are valuable and can complement existing prediction indicators.

    [Result/Conclusion] Exploring the intentions of college students to use artificial intelligence generative content (AIGC) tools in the academic context can help promote the scientific use of AIGC tools in higher education. [Method/Process] It randomly recruited 40 college students for semi-structured in-depth interviews, and employed grounded theory to do three-level coding to construct an intentions model for the use of AIGC tools in the academic context from four levels: long-term goals, task goals, conversation goals, and interaction goals. [Result/Conclusion] The results indicate that the long-term goals of college students using AIGC tools include two basic tendencies: pursuing success and avoiding failure. The task goals include obtaining answers and inspiration, which can be refined according to the research stage and type into specific intentions around research projects, thesis, academic papers, and course papers in terms of topic selection, design, implementation, writing, and dissemination. The conversation goals include two types: obtaining objects and obtaining information. The interaction goals reflect the intention behind the interactive actions in the conversation, namely, the expression of needs and the evaluation of responses. Besides, it discusses from the perspectives of the hierarchical and typological classification of intentions, the relationships between levels, the features reflected by intentions, and characteristic of intention research based on AIGC. Finally, it puts forwards enlightening effects of intention models on theoretical research and practical implications.

    [Purpose/Significance] The rampant spread of false, inaccurate, or incomplete health information on social media can be detrimental to public health. As information recipients, the public promptly identifies and corrects such misinformation, which not only protects their well-being but also contributes to the construction of a healthy health information ecology. [Method/Process] Based on the situational theory of problem solving, this study integrated protection motivation theory and self-construal theory to develop a research model that explored the influence mechanisms of social media users’ intention to correct health misinformation from two aspects: self-correction and correcting others. By means of quasi-experimental method, four common health misinformation scenarios were meticulously designed for sports, first aid, disease and health care. A total of 677 online and offline questionnaires were collected on users’ cognition, appraisal and correction intention on health misinformation. The differences in correction intention among different scenarios and age groups were compared using one-way ANOVA. [Result/Conclusion] The results show that involvement recognition has significant positive effects on threat appraisal, situational motivation and coping appraisal, while problem cognition has significant positive effects on threat appraisal and situation motivation. Coping appraisal plays a mediating role between involvement recognition, constraint recognition, and situational motivation. Independent self-construal plays a positive role in moderating the relationship between situational motivation and self-correcting intention, while dependent self-construal plays a positive role in regulating the relationship between situational motivation and the intention to correct others. The results reveal the mechanism of correcting health misinformation of ordinary users, and provide suggestions for social media platforms to manage health misinformation according to different users’ psychological characteristics.

    [Purpose/Significance] In the digital intelligence era, libraries generally carry out various STEM education projects, but their attention to gender differentiation in STEM education is relatively low, and there are fewer STEM education projects for girls. This paper empirically investigates the factors that affect libraries’ implementation of STEM education for girls. [Method/Process] Based on theoretical analysis, expert consultation, and a pilot survey, four levels of influencing factors (including personal internal factors, external factors, library institution factors, and project implementation factors) were determined. A formal questionnaire was developed, and conducted in a large-scale survey. [Result/Conclusion] Using SPSS 26 software for statistical analysis, descriptive analysis shows a lower penetration rate of library STEM education programs in female households. Differential analysis indicates that there are differences in the understanding of multiple influencing factors among girl’s parents as the research objects. However, there is no group difference in the understanding of the problem between the STEM subject affiliation and whether the survey subjects are librarians. Binary logistic regression analysis identifies being a girl’s parent, STEM learning enthusiasm and interest, institutional inclusivity, and teaching methods as the main influencing factors. Finally, it proposes some suggestions from library promotion, institutional inclusiveness, teaching methods, and parent education.
