Notes

  1. 1.

    The editors and reviewers of the journals of the “Japanese Society for Information and Media Studies” and “The Society of Socioinformatics” pointed out that this research should have been conducted offline. However, there are papers containing online research in the journals of both societies. Therefore, we requested a detailed explanation to describe the limitations of our paper for other journals. But they have not explained yet.
