Opin vísindi
Opin vísindi er varðveislusafn vísindaefnis og doktorsritgerða í opnum aðgangi á vegum íslenskra háskóla og Landsbókasafns Íslands - Háskólabókasafns.
Opinn aðgangur að rannsóknaniðurstöðum er í samræmi við 10. gr. laga nr. 3/2003 um opinberan stuðning við vísindarannsóknir sem og kröfur innlendra og erlendra rannsóknasjóða. Markmiðið með opnum aðgangi er að niðurstöður rannsókna séu aðgengilegar sem flestum óhindrað og án endurgjalds á rafrænu formi. Vistun í varðveislusafninu er varanleg og ætlað að tryggja aðgang að vísindaefni íslenskra háskóla í opnum aðgangi um ókomna tíð. Varðveislusafnið Opin vísindi er tengt við rannsóknagáttina IRIS og rannsóknaniðurstöður í opnum aðgangi sem eru skráðar í IRIS eru um leið vistaðar og gerðar aðgengilegar til framtíðar í varðveislusafninu. Með því að safna þessu efni saman í eitt safn verður aðgangur að því einfaldur og þægilegur fyrir alla sem vilja kynna sér það og geta þannig notið þess öfluga vísindastarfs sem fram fer í háskólum landsins.
Varðveislusafnið er OpenAIRE / OpenAIREplus samhæft og samrýmist kröfum sem gerðar eru um birtingu rannsóknaniðurstaðna úr verkefnum sem styrkt eru úr evrópsku rannsóknaáætlununum FP7 og H2020.

Social validation, reciprocation, and sustainable orientation : Cultivating “clean” codes of conduct through social influence
(2024-01) Otterbring, Tobias; Folwarczny, Michał; Department of Business and Economics
The current research examined the effectiveness of two social influence strategies—reciprocity and social validation—in promoting sustainable consumer behavior. In an initial behavioral field experiment (Study 1), consumers were either exposed to a reciprocity, social validation, or control message distributed in the changing rooms of a sporting goods store. The daily number of cleanups carried out by store employees were then monitored as a function of message type. Results revealed that messages based on reciprocity and social validation led to a significant reduction in the number of cleanups compared to the control message, with no significant difference between the reciprocity and social validation conditions. In a follow-up online experiment with increased rigor and control (Study 2), participants were randomly assigned to a reciprocity, social validation, or control condition and subsequently indicated their willingness to shop sustainably. Consistent with the findings from Study 1, both the reciprocity and social validation conditions outperformed the control condition regarding participants’ willingness to engage in sustainable consumer behavior, with no significant difference between the reciprocity and social validation conditions. Together, this research suggests that the strategic use of reciprocity or social validation messages can help store managers reduce the environmental impact of consumers’ shopping responses, while simultaneously decreasing operating costs.
Factors Influencing Fashion Consciousness in Muslim Fashion Consumption among Zillennials
(2024-01) Ocktavia, Annisa Kartika; Marenza, Silvya Eka; Al-Ayubi, Solahuddin; Maulana, Huda Kurnia; Department of Business and Economics
This study aims to analyze the factors that influence awareness of Muslim fashion consumption among Generation Z in Indonesia. Data is collected using a questionnaire using the convenience sampling method. A total of 255 final data points can be used for data analysis using SmartPLS. The results show that the style of dressing, the motivation for fashion, the uniqueness of fashion, and the source of fashion knowledge positively influence fashion awareness and indirectly influence Muslim fashion consumption. The findings from this study provide valuable insights to stakeholders in the fashion industry, including designers, retailers, and entrepreneurs, in understanding Muslim market segments. Practitioners can develop Muslim fashion products that are sharia-friendly and effectively target Muslim consumer segments through appropriate marketing strategies.
Threads of Complexity : Lessons learnt from Predicting Student Failure through Discussion Forums’ Social-Temporal Dynamics
(International Educational Data Mining Society, 2024) Flores, Nidia G.López; Uc-Cetina, Víctor; Islind, Anna Sigridur; Óskarsdóttir, María; Demmans Epp, Carrie; Paaßen, Benjamin; Joyner, David; Department of Computer Science
Identifying students-at-risk of failing a course or dropping out of a program is a significant problem in the fields of Learning Analytics and Educational Data Mining. Improving their early detection is important for enabling higher education institutions to design and provide resources to better support students. In addition, learning is a dynamic process, where social interactions are crucial as learning is not completely an individual or static achievement. The identification of students-at-risk of failing or dropping out a course is generally an imbalanced problem, as grade distribution is affected by several elements, and failing students are not always fairly represented. This research focuses on exploring the extent to which network structure in online discussion forum interactions can inform student-at-risk predictions through node oversampling.

Community and purpose in the academy
(2026-05-12) Kristinsson, Sigurður; Faculty of Social Sciences
References to “the academic community” abound in higher-education discourse, yet the concept itself is rarely examined. This paper argues that academic community is not only an empirical phenomenon but a normative ideal essential to the moral, intellectual, and institutional purposes of higher education. Contemporary universities, however, increasingly undermine the conditions for such community through organizational professionalism, individualism, managerialism, retreat from academic citizenship, and troubled collegiality. Drawing on sociological and normative theories of community, the paper distinguishes between descriptive accounts of academic networks and a richer, value-laden conception grounded in shared purposes, intellectual virtues, and relational practices. A value-theoretical analysis shows that academic community is instrumentally, constitutively, and intrinsically connected to core academic values such as knowledge, understanding, learning, and justice, and that it contributes to human flourishing. Substantive examples from social epistemology, pedagogy, and academic debates illustrate how academic values depend on communal norms and practices. The paper argues that revitalizing academic community requires both structural reforms—reducing competitive managerial pressures and rebalancing professional reward systems—and cultural renewal grounded in generosity, shared identity, and collective responsibility. Drawing on relational moral theory, it is further argued that academic community possesses moral significance beyond its connection with academic values, as identity and solidarity generate collegial obligations central to professional life. The paper concludes that unless universities cultivate conditions in which genuine academic community can flourish, they will continue to erode the very values that justify their existence.
