Traveling

I am out traveling. For my post today, I thought I would comment on one or more travel-related journal articles that interest me.

I found an interesting article on the use of a tool/travel diary to capture online and in-person activity to learn more about how online activities affect in-person activities (travel, shopping, and so on). The article is:

Online and in-person activity logging using a smartphone-based travel, activity, and time-use survey By André Alhoa, Cheng Cheng, Dao Trung Hieu, Takanori Sakai, Fang Zhao, Moshe Ben-Akiva, Lynette Cheah, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590198221002293

It was included in the March 2022 issue of Transportation Research and Interdisciplinary Perspectives (Volume 13). It would fit in an IT/IS journal.

The tool is impressive. The user interface is a little dark for my taste. It is interesting that online activity (e-shopping, e-commerce) affects in-person or in-store shopping. I quickly reviewed one of the articles included in the reference list (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3141/2157-18).

The paper made me think of social media. There is a lot of travel activity on social media – Facebook, Twitter, and so on. There needs to be a review of how easy it is to track travel activity via social media and how it would compare to tools created for travel tracking.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.

I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
