Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present empirical evidence on the opinion and behaviour of French scientists (senior management level) regarding research data management (RDM). Design/methodology/approach The results are part of a nationwide survey on scientific information and...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop new simple logics and translations for hierarchical model checking. Hierarchical model checking is a model-checking paradigm that can appropriately verify systems with hierarchical information and structures. Design/methodology/approach In this...

Purpose Most of the existing literature on online social networks (OSNs) either focuses on community detection in graphs without considering the topic of the messages exchanged, or concentrates exclusively on the messages without taking into account the social links.
