3/5/21: Updates, review of PT paper, citation searches, lit. review, readings


Agenda and Minutes 

1. Updates and plans. MH got the AAS coauthor issue straightened out. 

1a. Video on finding papers that cite another paper: https://youtu.be/G9Vh_L1sAV4. Enjoy!

1b. We discussed briefly the review of PT's paper, and will conclude the discussion next week.

2. Background literature update (VJB): 
Revisiting: Technological Forecasting – A Review, by Ayse Kaya Firat, Wei Lee Woon, & Stuart Madnick, MIT Working Paper CISL# 2008-15 September 2008, http://web.mit.edu/smadnick/www/wp/2008-15.pdf.

- Any more recent surveys that cite this paper? Could check using scholar.google.com (see video tutorial on how to do this above). VJB discussed and will conclude this next week.
- What is the difference between technology forecasting and technology foresight? VJB explained.

For general reference here are some generic questions about articles:

       a. What is the source? 
       b. What is the most significant advance in the human knowledge presented in the paper? 
       c. Why is that advance important? 
       d. What important questions arise from the paper for future research? 
       e. What important questions would it be nice if the paper answered, but does not answer? 
       f. What does the paper present that is novel (no one else has provided that before)? 
       g. What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite research goals? 
       h. Questions from the group? 

3. Reading and discussion: 
    a. For the Magee et al. 2016 reading, we finished up to the 3rd full paragraph on p. 245 last time. Next time we will start there so we can finish up this paper and start on the one on the queue (c. below).
    b. For the Reynolds and Szerszynski reading, we finished up through the 2nd sentence, last par., p. 11.
    c. Our next paper will be Hu et al. 2015, A survey on life prediction of equipment.
