Journal of Undergraduate Research (jur), Volume 22, Issue 1, Fall 2023
The Journal of Undergraduate Research (JUR) is an organization dedicated to providing the University of Rochester student body with intellectual perspectives from various academic disciplines. JUR serves as a forum for the presentation of original research, thereby encouraging the pursuit of significant scholarly endeavors.For more information, please visit the Journal of Undergraduate Research homepage.</p
An Open Collaboration: graduate student-led Diamond journal, InVisible Culture, gets a “glow up” with library support.
InVisible Culture (IVC) is an early, well-established, Diamon Open Access, online-only journal in the humanities, founded and run by graduate students.InVisible Culture’s original platform was rudimentary compared to contemporary expectations of academic publishing. Until recently, IVC had no DOIs, no automated PDF creation, and no XML formatting. This decreased our visibility and made indexing nearly impossible.With virtually no budget or attachment to a press, it was left entirely to us to address these shortcomings. As scholars not necessarily familiar with the technical side of academic publishing, our own lack of expertise has been the main obstacle to this project. To rectify this, the journal fostered a relationship with the university library, eventually finding dedicated support from within its ranks. This formal relationship between the journal and the library eventually spurred the acquisition of DOI minting capabilities by the university, as well as resources budgeted specifically to IVC and other local publishing efforts.Now, under new leadership, the library has committed further by creating a unit dedicated to support scholarly communication. After three years of work, we have now migrated to an open, community-led platform that easily accommodates our needs (PubPub) with our entire backlog registered with DOIs. Our next goal is to apply to the Directory of Open Access Journals. The authors hope to share their experiences with other graduate-student-run journals, and further discuss tactics for finding support and visibility for their work.This poster was presented at the II Diamond Open Access Conference, October 25-26, 2023, in Toluca, Mexico, as part of the Global Summit on Diamond Open Access, October 23-27, Toluca, Mexico.</p
Cazarin and Derollo et al Figure 6 and Supplemental Figure 6: Immunoblot Raw Images for Circadian Nutrient Transporter Time-Series, and Quantifications and ECHO Analysis of ImmunoblotsSource data for MYC disrupts transcriptional and metabolic circadian oscillations in cancer and promotes enhanced biosynthesis
PDF with complete immunoblot scans, and molecular weights, for all replicates of time-series experiments for Figure 6. Band quantifications, R data of ECHO analysis, ECHO outputs, and graphs of ECHO outputs, are also included. A .pzfx file of quantitation of all quantified bands without regards to time (to generate the Supplemental Figure 6 Figure) is also included.</p
"Course Design, Images and the Class-Curated Exhibit"<i> RBM: Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage. </i>Vol. 19, Issue 2, 2018, pp. 133-153. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5860/rbm.19.2.133
This article discusses the restructuring of a literature course to include a student-curated exhibit featuring rare, illustrated volumes from the University of Rochester’s River Campus Libraries. Faculty and library staff offered an experiential learning project for students to develop skills in the areas of primary source literacy, basic exhibit design, visual and textual analysis, process writing, and public presentation. We reflect upon the challenges and opportunities of project management and offer three models for integrating rare books and exhibit curation into a range of courses across disciplines.</p
Enriching University of Rochester's STEM Collections with Resources about and by BIPOC Scientists
You might think that the collections of a major library would be unaffected by cultural prejudices. However, even the University of Rochester's collections are sadly lacking in works by and about scientists of color. Our poster describes our work to rectify this situation in order to inspire current and future BIPOC students to go into STEM fields. One scientist who we feature is Joy Buolamwini, who recently earned her PhD from MIT's Media Lab. She noticed that analyses of photographs are often biased, so she formed the Algorithmic Justice League to study and correct that problem. Our collections are more welcoming and inspiring when we highlight her important scientific work and the work of many others. Staff at the River Campus Libraries are enhancing our collections and raising awareness of the contributions and experiences of BIPOC scientists, both past and present.</p
AI Art - Ethics and Data Round Table
A round table hosted on February 15, 2023. Panelists discussed five questions.
How does an AI system generate art?
Is AI art... art?
What ethical problems arise from AI art?
How can we deal with these issues?
What does the future have in store?
A Q&A session followed.</p
