RDA TIGER D4.1 – Description of Output Support Services and Maintenance Platform
No full textResearch Data Alliance’s (RDA) Working Groups (WGs) aim to solve a specific research data related issue in a relatively short period of time. In practice, these groups are created by the RDA community, and rely on the voluntary contributions from the community to achieve its stated objectives. While this approach has been demonstrated to be successful in the last decade, certain areas have been identified where improvements can be made. The RDA TIGER project addresses some of these improvements [1].
RDA TIGER establishes a suite of concrete services to support the Working Groups (WG) of the Research Data Alliance (RDA). Work Package 4 in the TIGER project oversees the service for WG Output Support, particularly the RDA Maintenance Platform (RDA-MP), and various output guidance services. The objectives are to ensure high quality, usefulness, maintenance and sustainability of the WG outputs.
This report provides a work plan for the activities, outputs and, and services envisaged for the work package
D6.1 Overview of needs for competence centres
No full textThe overall objective of FAIRsFAIR is to accelerate the realization of the goals of the EOSC by opening up and sharing all knowledge, expertise, guidelines, implementations, new trajectories, courses and education on FAIR matters. To support this, FAIRsFAIR is tasked to set up a single FAIR Data Stewardship Competence Centre which this report defines as a shared hub of expertise in implementing FAIR data stewardship principles, offering leadership, coordination and cataloging services to connect relevant people, guidance, learning resources and curricula in different thematic areas.
Requirements for competence centres in general and a core competence centre for FAIR data stewardship in general were identified by interviewing other members of the FAIRsFAIR project to understand their expectations for a core competence centre as well as the resources they will contribute to the knowledge base. Furthermore, we carried out a broad characterisation of current competence centres enriched with case studies of good examples for certain aspects of a competence centre. We created user stories for how stakeholders might interact with the competence centres and refined them through an open consultation answered by 106 people, interviews with EOSC clusters, and feedback gathered in workshops at the Open Science Fair 2019.
Based on the description of work and our research, we have identified the following priorities for competence centres in general and the FAIRsFAIR core Competence Centre in particular:
Advisory
Create a catalogue of resources to support FAIR data stewardship
Provide a help desk to support FAIR data stewardship
Provide a networking tool to support FAIR data stewardship
Harmonisation
Apply emerging standards to describe learning resources in FAIR data stewardship
Encourage economy of scale through deploying the same tools and certifying services addressing FAIR data needs
Dissemination
Develop training and guidance materials on FAIR data stewardship topics currently not covered
Develop curation policies for the content aggregated and developed by the FAIRsFAIR Data Stewardship Competence Centre
Deliver training on core competencies for FAIR data stewardshipThis is the draft version of the deliverable not yet approved by the European Commission.
Though we can't undertake to respond to every comment directly, we are seeking wide feedback on this deliverable which will inform discussions and further work within FAIRsFAIR as well as collaborations with other relevant projects. Comments and suggestions can be added until 17 April 2020 at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c-KFgFWXr3d9f93lZiAIMsH0W7-g547X/view?usp=sharin
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
