Citizen Science in kleinen Bibliotheken. - Eine Machbarkeitsstudie am Beispiel der Landeskundlichen Bibliothek und dem Kreisarchiv des Märkischen Kreises
Get PDFEignen sich kleine Bibliotheken für Citizen Science-Projekte? Verschiedene Aspekte verbergen sich hinter dieser kurzen Eingangsfrage: Was sind kleine Bibliotheken? Was bedeutet Citizen Science? Eignen sich Bibliotheken generell für entsprechende Projekte und wenn ja, warum sollten sich kleine Bibliotheken ggfs. nicht oder eben doch besonders eignen? Die vorliegende Masterarbeit möchte diese Fragestellungen anhand des Beispiels von Kreisarchiv und Landeskundlicher Bibliothek des Märkischen Kreises beantworten.
Dazu werden zunächst die Begrifflichkeiten definiert. Neben Citizen Science gilt es Vokabeln wie Citizen Humanities oder Crowdsourcing zu diskutieren. Bevor ausgewählte Projekte als Best Practices beleuchtet werden, untersucht die Arbeit, ob sich Bibliotheken und vergleichbare Wissenseinrichtungen als Orte für Citizen Science eignen und ob die Dokumente aus den Magazinen generell als lohnenswert für eine Erforschung durch die interessierte Öffentlichkeit einzustufen sind.
Anschließend befragt die vorliegende Ausarbeitung ausgewählte Bestände von Landeskundlicher Bibliothek und Kreisarchiv des Märkischen Kreises auf ihr Potential für etwaige Citizen Science-Projekte und überprüft diese auf ihre Durchführbarkeit mit den vorhandenen Mitteln der Beispieleinrichtung. In einem Fazit werden die Erkenntnisse dieser vergleichenden Betrachtung bewertet und vorgestellt, welches Learning diese Machbarkeitsstudie vergleichbaren kleinen Einrichtungen anbieten kann.Are small libraries suitable for Citizen Science projects? Various aspects are hidden behind this short initial question: What are small libraries? What does Citizen Science mean? Are libraries suitable for Citizen Science projects in general and if so, why should small libraries not be suitable or why should they be particularly suitable? This master's thesis would like to answer these questions using the example of Kreisarchiv und Landeskundliche Bibliothek des Märkischer Kreises.
For this purpose, the terms are first defined. In addition to Citizen Science, Citizen Humanities and Crowdsourcing will be discussed. Before selected projects are highlighted as best practices, the thesis examines whether libraries and comparable institutions are suitable places for Citizen Science and whether the holdings from the stacks are "worthwhile" for exploration by the interested public.
Subsequently, this paper examines the holdings of the library in Altena for their potential for possible Citizen Science projects and tests their feasibility with the existing resources of the example institution. In a conclusion, the findings of this comparative view are evaluated and it is examined which learning this study can offer for comparable small institutions
Citizen science and small libraries: Considerations on the involvement of volunteer re- searchers in the Kreisarchiv and Landeskundliche Bibliothek des Märkischen Kreises
No full textZielsetzung — Eignen sich kleine Bibliotheken für Citizen Science-Projekte? Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrags war zu prüfen, ob sich partizipative Forschungsprojekte mit der Beteiligung interessierter Bürger*innen auch ohne die technische und personelle Infrastruktur großer Häuser umsetzen lassen oder an welchem Punkt Bibliotheken und Archive mit geringer Zahl von Mitarbeitenden gegebenenfalls an ihre Grenzen stoßen.
Forschungsmethoden — Zunächst galt es einen belastbaren Citizen Science-Begriff zu definieren. Wie unterscheiden sich Citizen Science, Citizen Humanities oder Bürgerwissenschaften? Denn viele Projekte sind mit unterschiedlichen Begriffen umschrieben und scheinen zunächst schwer vergleichbar. Um zu prüfen, ob sich in den Beständen der untersuchten Einrichtung grundsätzlich Quellen finden lassen, die eine gemeinsame Bearbeitung ermöglichen, wurden andere Häuser hinsichtlich der Themenstellung ihrer Citizen Science-Projekte ausgewertet. Im Anschluss wurden ausgewählte Best Practices nach einem definierten Katalog hinsichtlich der technischen Umsetzung und des personellen Bedarfs ihrer Projekte ausgewertet und in Bezug zur eigenen Einrichtung gesetzt.
Ergebnisse — Die Bestände von Kreisarchiv und Landeskundlicher Bibliothek eignen sich inhaltlich für die gemeinsame Bearbeitung mit der interessierten Öffentlichkeit. Die untersuchten Beispieleinrichtungen zeigen, dass die technische Umsetzung eines Projekts mit überschaubaren Kapazitäten möglich ist.
Schlussfolgerungen — Der Erfolg von Citizen Science-Projekten ist nicht abhängig von der Größe der Institution. Ausschlaggebend ist das Engagement der beteiligten Mitarbeitenden und die Arbeiten im Vorfeld des partizipativen Projekts. Wenn die Zielgruppe klar benannt ist, die Quellen vorbereitet und die passenden Tools ausgewählt wurden, ist die Umsetzung eines eigenen Projekts auch mit einem kleinen Team möglich.Objective — Are small libraries suitable for citizen science projects? The aim of this article was to examine whether participatory research projects involving interested citizens can be implemented without the technical and personnel infrastructure of large institutions.
Methods — The first task was to define a robust concept of citizen science. What is the difference between citizen science and citizen humanities? In order to check whether sources could be found in the holdings of the examined Archive that would enable a common approach, other institutions were evaluated with regard to the topics of their citizen science projects. Subsequently, selected best practices were evaluated according to a defined catalog with regard to the technical implementation and personnel requirements of their projects and compared to the own institution.
Results — The holdings of Kreisarchiv and Landeskundliche Bibliothek are suitable for joint processing with the interested public. The institutions examined show that the technical implementation of a project is possible with small capacities.
Conclusions — The success of citizen science projects does not depend on the size of the institution. The decisive factor is the commitment of the employees involved and the work carried out in the run-up to the participatory project. If the target group is clearly defined, the sources have been prepared and the appropriate tools are chosen, it is possible to implement projects even with a small team
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
