(author)Background: Risk-based breast cancer (BC) screening raises new questions regarding information provision and risk communication. This study aimed to: 1) investigate women’s beliefs and knowledge (i.e., mental models) regarding BC risk and (risk-based) BC screening in view of implications for information development; 2) develop novel...journal article 2024

(author)One way to help users navigate debated topics online is to apply stance detection in web search. Automatically identifying whether search results are against, neutral, or in favor could facilitate diversification efforts and support interventions that aim to mitigate cognitive biases. To be truly useful in this context, however, stance...conference paper 2023

Timmermans, J. (author), Daniel Kissling, W. (author)Satellite remote sensing (SRS) provides huge potential for tracking progress towards conservation targets and goals, but SRS products need to be tailored towards the requirements of ecological users and policymakers. In this viewpoint article, we propose to advance SRS products with a terrestrial biodiversity focus for tracking the goals and...journal article 2023

(author)Adverse phenomena such as the search engine manipulation effect (SEME), where web search users change their attitude on a topic following whatever most highly-ranked search results promote, represent crucial challenges for research and industry. However, the current lack of automatic methods to comprehensively measure or increase viewpoint...conference paper 2023

(author)A ground vibration test was conducted with a 1:3 scaled Diana 2 glider model where the modal parameters were estimated using the accelerometers, gyroscopes and strain gauges integrated in the test aircraft and validated using externally attached calibrated accelerometers and commercial software. These modal parameters were then used to update...conference paper 2022

Steffelbauer, D.B. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), Timmermans, Jos (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Bakker, M. (author)Global mean sea-level rise (SLR) has accelerated since 1900 from less than 2 mm yr-1 during most of the century to more than 3 mm yr-1 since 1993. Decision-makers in coastal countries, however, require information on SLR at the regional scale, where detection of an acceleration in SLR is difficult, because the long-term sea-level signal is...journal article 2022

Draws, T.A. (author), Inel, O. (author), Tintarev, N. (author), Baden, Christian (author), Timmermans, Benjamin (author)Research in the area of human information interaction (HII) typically represents viewpoints on debated topics in a binary fashion, as either against or in favor of a given topic (e.g., the feminist movement). This simple taxonomy, however, greatly reduces the latent richness of viewpoints and thereby limits the potential of research and...conference paper 2022

de Jong, A.M.P. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Timmermans, Jos (author)In 2011, Adaptive Delta Management (ADM) was introduced in the Dutch Delta Program as a policy development method that incorporates uncertainty in decision-making. At this moment, little is known about the functioning of ADM in practice, while this is key for successful adaptation. This paper presents the results of research into the...report 2021

Draws, T.A. (author), Tintarev, N. (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Timmermans, B. (author)In web search on debated topics, algorithmic and cognitive biases strongly influence how users consume and process information. Recent research has shown that this can lead to a search engine manipulation effect (SEME): when search result rankings are biased towards a particular viewpoint, users tend to adopt this favored viewpoint. To better...conference paper 2021

Draws, T.A. (author), Tintarev, N. (author), Gadiraju, Ujwal (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Timmermans, Benjamin (author)The way pages are ranked in search results influences whether the users of search engines are exposed to more homogeneous, or rather to more diverse viewpoints. However, this viewpoint diversity is not trivial to assess. In this paper we use existing and novel ranking fairness metrics to evaluate viewpoint diversity in search result rankings. We...conference paper 2021

This article compares the results of seven plans and designs from a diverse group of scholars and professionals that offer very different answers to this question. This diversity broadens the options, which is vital in this stage. Both problem solving...journal article 2020
