Introduction: Sociolinguistics and computer-mediated communication (2006, background): “For example: contractions in English; reductions and clitizations in German; truncations and the replacement of the e caduc by an apostrophe in French (Anis 1999a: 87–88).”
Virtual Community Attraction: Why People Hang Out Online (2006, background): “Jones, 1997; Liu, 1999; Witmer & Katzman, 1998), the study included only active communities with a minimum traffic volume, a minimum number of different users posting, and a high proportion of messages with responses. This was necessary in order to exclude inactive communities and communities where ”
Capitalizing on Content: Information Adoption in Two Online communities (2008, background): “Online communities have been characterized as having “a minimum level of interactivity, a variety of communicators, a minimum level of sustained membership,” and a virtual “common-public-space” where interactive Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) occurs (Jones, 1997).”
Information Overload and the Message Dynamics of Online Interaction Spaces: A Theoretical Model and Empirical Exploration (2004, background): “We adopt here the term virtual public for two reasons: It is important that we distinguish between cybersociety (Jones 1995), virtual communities (Jones 1997), and open online interactions spaces (Jones and Rafaeli 2000a).”
From information seeking to information avoidance: Understanding the health information behavior during a global health crisis (2020, background): “During the span of the last three decades, the researchers proved that information overload results in cognitive strain Jones (1997); Schick et al. (1990) , stress (Lee, Son & Kim, 2016a), confusion, depressive symptoms (Matthews et al., 2020), anxiety (Bawden & Robinson, 2009), and low motivation…”
Designing for Virtual Communities in the Service of Learning: Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis (2004, neutral): “…of criteria, and an attempt to operationalize them empirically, see Liu (1999), who bases his analysis of community in Internet Relay Chat (IRC) on Jones’ (1997) four criteria for a "virtual settlement:" (1) a virtual common-public-space; (2) a variety of communicators; (3) a minimum level of…”
Understanding Knowledge Sharing in Online Travel Communities (2014, background): “Previous research guidelines suggest that to correctly gauge true interaction among community members, inactive online community members should be excluded (i.e., Q. Jones, 1997; Qu & Lee, 2011; Ridings et al., 2002).”
Adolescents' sense of community on myspace and facebook: a mixed-methods approach. (2010, background): “For instance, Jones (1997) has suggested that some online groups are virtual communities whereas others are virtual settlements, with fewer stable members, less frequent interaction, and fewer emotional connections.”
Ambient affiliation: A linguistic perspective on Twitter (2011, background): “…for its vagueness, there has been a debate surrounding the criteria for establishing the bounds of online communities, the structure of community and how communities are built or emerge (see for example Hagel and Armstrong, 1997; Jones, 1997; Burnett, 2000; Wellman, 2001; Herring, 2004, 2008).”
