How repositories can contribute their FAIR share
No full textFindable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) data are an increasingly important aspect of open scholarship. Increasing the production and use of FAIR data requires a wide range of stakeholders across the research ecosystem to actively play their parts. FAIRsFAIR – Fostering Fair Data Practices in Europe – aims to supply practical solutions for applying the FAIR data principles throughout the research data life cycle, which can be included in the strategies that research organisations and implemented to enable a FAIR data culture.
This 90 minute virtual workshop will focus on the work FAIRsFAIR carries out in collaboration with repositories to enable them to play their role in helping to make and keep data FAIR over time. We will present an early draft of a transition support programme for repositories wishing to improve their capacity to support FAIR data production and use. Following an overview of the draft programme, attendees will participate in group discussions and activities to review and discuss the draft support programme, consider how it might be applied within their own repositories, and how they can support and promote relevant aspects of the programme within their institutions and the wider community.

Data provenance, curation and quality in metrology
Full text linkData metrology -- the assessment of the quality of data -- particularly in
scientific and industrial settings, has emerged as an important requirement for
the UK National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and other national metrology
institutes. Data provenance and data curation are key components for emerging
understanding of data metrology. However, to date provenance research has had
limited visibility to or uptake in metrology. In this work, we summarize a
scoping study carried out with NPL staff and industrial participants to
understand their current and future needs for provenance, curation and data
quality. We then survey provenance technology and standards that are relevant
to metrology. We analyse the gaps between requirements and the current state of
the art
FAIRsFAIR policy enhancement recommendations and support
No full text[ES] El 23 de junio FAIRsFAIR en colaboración con la Unidad de Recursos de Información Científica para la Investigación (URICI) del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) organizan un evento online abierto a toda la comunidad española sobre la Nube Europea de Ciencia Abierta (EOSC) y la participación de los repositorios. El evento tiene como título "Green Data Market for Research & the Role of Repositories" y abordará, a través de intervenciones de integrantes del proyecto FAIRsFAIR, así como de diferentes iniciativas españolas y europeas, aspectos relativos a buenas prácticas en las políticas y gestión de repositorios de datos de investigación para su adhesión a los Principios FAIR y su inclusión en EOSC. El evento tendrá un formato bilingue y dará una panorámica de recomendaciones, servicios, recursos y formación para los repositorios de datos a través de experiencias del propio proyecto FAIRsFAIR como del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación de España, Science Europe, EOSC SYNERGY, IBERGRID y el CSIC.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
