TL;DR: The authors conducted a meta-analysis of self-reported and log-based measures of media use and found that selfreported media use correlates only moderately with logged measurements, that self-reports were rarely an accurate reflection of logged media use, and that problematic media use showed an even weaker association with usage logs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an agenda for adopting open science practices in communication, which includes the following seven suggestions: (1) publish materials, data, and code; (2) preregister studies and submit registered reports; (3) conduct replications; (4) collaborate; (5) foster open science skills; (6) implement Transparency and Openness Promotion Guidelines; and (7) incentivize open science practice.

TL;DR: The study found that while a significant negative correlation exists between in-lecture media use and academic performance for students in the Arts and Social Sciences, the same pattern is not observable forStudents in the faculties of Engineering, Economic and Management Sciences, and Medical and Health Sciences.

TL;DR: A systematic review of current interventions targeting the effects of media multitasking found no single category contains interventions which, categorically, produced improvements in attention-related performance.

TL;DR: In this study a survey was done to investigate students’ use of media, as well as the behavioural beliefs, norms and motivators surrounding such use.
