"... In PAGE 2: ...Objects of Study and Research Questions As an organizing framework, we identify four main objects of study--that is, things whose characteristics researchers are trying to describe and explain--in F/OSS-based empirical software research: software artifacts, software processes, development projects and communities, and participants apos; knowledge. In Table1 we provide a rough map of some representative characteristics that have been investigated for each of these objects of study, and show some critical factors that researchers have begun linking to these characteristics as explanations. It is important to point out that these objects of study are by no means independent from one another.... In PAGE 2: ...nterdependent elements of F/OSS (e.g., knowledge and processes affect artifacts, communities affect processes, etc.) Also, each of the outcomes shown in Table1 may play a role as a critical factor in the other categories. Table 1: Characteristics of empirical F/OSS studies.... ..."

"... In PAGE 22: ... As the poor are deprived from access to forest benefits, they are likely to carry out illegal cutting, which in turn, is likely to work against the realization of forest sustainability. Explaining the Paradox: Distillations from the Cases Table4 summarizes the outcomes of the four community forestry projects just examined that employed different instruments of practice. As can be gleaned from the table, there is no distinct relationship between the employment of the different instruments and improved outcomes towards the desired aims.... ..."

"... In PAGE 9: ... Although all OSS communities are open to certain forms of participation and access, the different control structure inherent in each OSS community due to considerations of system quality [13] creates different degrees of openness that allows the legitimate participation and access of community members. Table4 shows the possible combinations of openness in two dimensions: product (row) and process (column). In the product dimension, open release means that only formally released versions are accessible to all community members; and open development means that all interim developing versions are accessible.... ..."

"... In PAGE 9: ... In passing, it can be noted that this objective conflicts with the apparent desire of the IS/IT community to develop a generalised, parsimonious multi- purpose instrument. Recent IS/IT research indicates a variety of approaches of which a sample is shown in Table3 . The use of behavioural intent as the outcome of interest stems from the belief that it is an easier construct on which to focus than actual behaviour.... ..."

In PAGE 42: ...41 As has been indicated above, costing is a crucial element within environmental management therefore, it cannot be neglected in the functionality of an EIS. The influence of the recent World Summit on Sustainable development (WSSD), Table11 below, did not create a marked response in the mining sector towards changing their approach to an EIS. A possible reason for this was the focus of the WSSD on political agendas and poverty alleviation, with little emphasis on the importance of information systems in providing accurate information for decision-making purposes.... ..."

"... In PAGE 16: ... We assumed that ICs from visual to tactile stimuli are caused by incorrect binding of the visual texture, and, for that reason, we expected the parameter H9251VT to vary in relation to the number of ICs: The higher the value of H9251VT (H9251VT H11005 1 indicates perfect visual binding), the lower the probability of IC errors. The data produced by the model are given in Table11 (simulations have been carried out for individual participants). The data are ordered according to the frequency of ICs, which is represented by the difference between conjunction and feature errors made by the participants in Experiment 6 (ICs, last column in Table 11)....
