Indonesian Scientists’ Behavior Relative to Research Data Governance in Preventing WMD-Applicable Technology Transfer

Abstract

Performing research data governance is critical for preventing the transfer of technologies related to weapons of mass destruction (WMD). While research data governance is common in developed countries, it is still often considered less necessary by research organizations in developing countries such as Indonesia. An investigation of research data governance behavior for Indonesian scientists was conducted in this study. The theories of planned behavior (TPB) and protection motivation (PMT) were used to explain the relationships between different factors influencing scientists’ behavior. The theories have been widely used in the information security domain, and the approach was adopted to build the research model of this study. The obtained data were analyzed using partial least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to answer the main research question: “what factors determine the likelihood of practicing research data governance by Indonesian scientists to prevent WMD-applicable technology transfer?” By learning what motivates scientists to adopt research data governance practices, organizations can design relevant strategies that are directed explicitly at stimulating positive responses. The results of this study can also be applied in other developing countries that have similar situations, such as Indonesia.

Research on Prediction and Damage Analysis of Devices of Mass Disruption Based on Optimized Gray Model Algorithm, ARIMA, and Correlation Analysis

“…The killing range of devices of mass disruption is also calculated, and the positioning model of devices of mass disruption explosion is established. Finally, a model was built using cellular automata to determine the minimum number of devices of mass disruption needed to destroy the human living environment and to derive the limited range of the number of devices of mass disruption [10].…”
