The Open Science (OS) movement has been spreading rapidly among researchers with positive outcomes on accessibility of scientific knowledge. However, there is no clear evidence on the level of awareness and types of OS practices among scholars and researchers in Tanzania, potentially missing an opportunity to reap the rewards of the movement to scholarly pursuits. This study investigated the level of awareness of OS and practices among Tanzanian scholars and researchers. Findings of a digital survey conducted for three months and recruited 144 respondents, show a high level of awareness of the term OS for 84% of respondents, most of them having encountered it from peers or online sources including social media. About 69% of respondents were male while about 44% of respondents were early career professionals. Open access (OA) publishing was the most common OS activity practised by respondents, highlighting both the need to create awareness on other practices and an entry point for knowledge expansion. However, respondents highlighted the barriers to spreading of the OS movement in the country including lack of awareness, knowledge and skills, the lack of institutional support and concerns over data security and ownership. Findings of this study establish OA as the most common and important OS practice among Tanzanian scholars. They show the importance of online resources and peers to peer learning and in spreading OS awareness. The study also reveals several areas of advocacy and including setting supportive institutional policies and building infrastructure to support OS practices. We recomment establisment of robust guidelines, institutional support and clear opportunities to incentivize individuals to adopt OS practices ao as to achieve the momentum required to scale the movement beyond OA.

The presence of COVID-19 has transformed the business sector’s paradigm and prompted a speedy consumption of mobile payment software systems of diverse ranges. Corporate sectors and businesses across the globe brought a shift to offer mobile payment methods; consequently, consumers were urged to maximize the use of mobile payment throughout the pandemic. The present research aims to investigate the factors that might influence consumers' intent to accept mobile payments and their relationships during COVID-19. The technology adoption model and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology were employed in this proposed mobile payment adoption framework. A quantitative research approach was identified as a suitable method for this research. An online survey was administered, and 304 participants responded to the questionnaire. The results of the data analysis revealed statistically significant relationships and a positive impact of the factors perceived performance, social influence, consumers’ satisfaction, and perceived usefulness on consumers’ usage continuation intention. However, the results identified that factors such as transaction risk didn’t affect perceived usefulness, and financial transaction transparency didn’t affect consumers’ usage intention. This study makes a substantial contribution to the consumers’ technology acceptance literature in terms of validating a proposed theoretical framework that highlights the factors that influence consumers’ mobile payment usage intentions. As this study was conducted at a later stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, it adds value to the existing literature by providing insights to business managers on the factors influencing mobile payment usage. Considering the practical perspective, this study offers evidence of the essential elements that mobile payment service designers and marketers should consider.

“…Therefore, in order to meet the objectives of this paper, evidence-based practice was used as proposed by Bastian et al [88]. In order to collect evidence, this paper has conducted journal searches, database queries, and Internetbased searches similar to those conducted by Sana and Li [89], Ali et al [90], Alzoubi et al [91], and Al-Ahmad et al [92].…”

Overview on Case Study Penetration Testing Models Evaluation

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Model evaluation is a cornerstone of scientific research as it represents the findings' accuracy and model performance. A case study is commonly used in evaluating software engineering models. Due to criticism in terms of generalization from a single case study and testers, deciding on the number of case studies used for evaluation and the number of testers has been one of the researchers’ challenges. Multiple case studies with multiple testers can be difficult in some domains, such as penetration testing, due to the complexity and time needed to prepare test cases. This study aims to review the literature and examine the evaluation methods used pertaining to the number of case studies and testers involved. This study is beneficial for researchers, students, and penetration testers as it provides case study design steps that are useful to determine the appropriate number of test cases and testers required. The paper's findings and novelty highlight that a single case study with a single tester is enough to evaluate a model. It also strikes a balance between what is enough for the evaluation and the need to reduce criticisms of a single case study by using two case studies with a single tester.
