对研究参与者提出的问题
:
1：你最看重的是哪个指标？
引用和应用 – 从学术上来说，最重要的是引用（学术
界）和应用（实际生活中，对引起业界实践改变有多
重要）
Questions asked of study participants:
Q1: Which metric do you value the
most?
Citations and usage - for academic purposes the
most important thing would really be citations (for
academia) and usage (for real-world how important
is this in potentially changing practice).
2:你会用这些指标做什么？
争取资金；证明我们的研究导致实践模式改变；晋升
及终生受聘；并有可能吸引合作者（谁引了我的研究，
谁可能有兴趣和我一起工作）。
Q2: What would you use these metrics
for?
Funding opportunities, showing that our work is
making a difference in changing practice patterns,
promotion and tenure, and potentially for
collaborators (who cited my work, who might be
interested in working with me).
3:你会联系那些讨论你研究的人吗？
我会（已有）联系那些通过社交媒体讨论我工作的人。
我邀请他们加入 LinkedIn。
Q3: Would you contact someone
discussing your research?
I would (have) contacted someone who discusses
my work via social media - and I asked them to join
me in LinkedIn.
4:你对公开这些信息有顾虑吗？
那些与我们研究有关的，已经公之于众的信息，任何
人都可以传播。如果有重要的必须保密的情况，我们
不会在论文发表之前公布。
Q4: Do you have concerns about this
information?
Anything relating to our work that is already out in
public can get distributed however anyone
wants…If it is important that something be kept
secret, we just keep it a secret prior to publication.
