Research Lifecycle Enhanced By An "Open Science By Default" Workflow
No full textFrom a standard Research Lifecycle, to a fully Open Research Lifecycle. The Single-Figure Publication showcases Open Science best practices across the entire Research Lifecycle, that if implemented correctly, can make research more transparent, reproducible and re-usable by both academic and non-academic users. The Open Research Lifecycle was developed and tested during FP7 FOSTER (Grant Agreement 612 425) training calendar 2014-2016 (refer to doi: 10.5281/zenodo.48748 for full training calendar details) covering target audience across the entire academic ecosystem (graduates, senior researchers, project managers, funding agency staff cf doi: 10.5281/zenodo.30564). “Research Cycle” is an adaptation of Tenopir et al., (2011) DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0021101 http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0021101 This is a Single Figure Publication (doi: 10.5281/zenodo.49960) presenting opportunities at each step of the research process to provide additional transparency and reproducibility through Open Science best practices. Grant Funding: FP7 FOSTER, Grant Agreement 612 425 (www.fosteropenscience.eu) Contributions: IG conceived the first draft of concept and context. All authors contributed to improving the final design and testing its relevance through FOSTER Training Calendar 2014-2016. Competing interests: No known competing interests
Open Science Education: Learning and Teaching Materials via the FOSTER Portal
No full textOpen Science ist ein relativ junger Begriff, die zugrunde liegende Idee des Teilens von Wissen, Ergebnissen und Methoden ist jedoch so alt ist wie die Wissenschaft selbst. Open Science umfasst neben Open Access und Open Data – dem offenen Zugang zu Veröffentlichungen und Forschungsdaten – auch radikal neue Bereiche wie Citizen Science und Open Notebook Science. Seitdem die Europäische Kommission und andere Forschungsförderer zunehmend Open Access zu Publikationen und Daten in ihre Förderrichtlinien aufnehmen, ist es für Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unumgänglich geworden, sich mit diesem Thema auseinanderzusetzen. Die Herausforderung bei der Umsetzung dieser Anforderungen ist nicht so sehr die Existenz und Zugänglichkeit relevanter Informationen, sondern die unübersichtliche Fülle an Material. Das von der Europäischen Kommission geförderte Projekt „Facilitating Open Science Training for European Research“ (FOSTER) führt deshalb eine breite Sammlung von Materialien und Kursen zum Thema Open Science zusammen und schafft so eine Lernressource für die europäische Forschungscommunity. Die Inhalte stehen möglichst über offene Lizenzen zur Verfügung, um die Nachnutzung in weiteren Schulungen zu unterstützen. Die Navigation durch die Fülle an Inhalten erfolgt entlang einer Taxonomie oder anhand von zielgruppenspezifischen Lernzielen, die zum Beispiel Projektmanager oder Multiplikatoren wie Bibliothekare adressieren. Der Artikel stellt die aktuellen Ergebnisse des Projektes vor, beleuchtet die Rolle der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen im Projekt und gibt einen Ausblick auf die Aktivitäten im zweiten Projektjahr.Open Science is a rather recent term, although the idea behind it is probably as old as science itself. It encompasses Open Access and Open Data, meaning free online access to research publications and data, but also more radical areas like Citizen Science and Open Notebook Science. As the European Commission and other research funders adopt mandates for open access to data and publications within their funding guidelines, familiarity with these topics becomes imperative for researchers. The challenge for researchers seeking information about these areas lies not, however, in finding or accessing resources, but rather in filtering the vast number of resources in existence. Hence, the European Commission funded project “Facilitating Open Science Training for European Research” (FOSTER) is collecting and consolidating Open Science materials and courses, to build a consistent learning resource for the European research community. Materials are provided under open licenses where possible to facilitate re-use in future training activities. The wealth of material on offer can be navigated either by an Open Science taxonomy or via specific learning objectives targeted at particular groups, e.g. project managers or multipliers like librarians. The article presents the most recent results of the project, highlighting the role of the State and University Library Göttingen and giving an overview of activities planned for the project’s second year.L’Open Science est encore un concept relativement nouveau, mais l’idée sous-jacente du partage des connaissances, des méthodes et des résultats est aussi vielle que la science en elle-même. L’Open Science comprend également, outre l’Open Access et l’Open Data, de nouveaux domaines tels que la science citoyenne et l’Open Notebook Science. Depuis que la Commission européenne et d’autres bailleurs de fonds de recherche reprennent plus régulièrement Open Access aux publications et aux données dans leurs lignes directrices pour les aides financières, il est devenu indispensable pour les chercheurs d’aborder ce sujet. Le défi de la mise en œuvre de ces exigences ne réside pas tant dans l’existence et l’accessibilité des informations pertinentes, mais plutôt dans l’abondance chaotique de matériel. Le projet „Facilitating Open Science Training for European Research“ (FOSTER), qui est subventionné par la Commission européenne, rassemble une vaste collection de matériel et de cours sur le thème de L’Open Science et crée ainsi une ressource d’apprentissage pour la communauté de la recherche européenne. Dans la mesure du possible, les contenus sont disponibles via des licences libres pour favoriser leur réutilisation dans d’autres formations. La navigation à travers la richesse du contenu se fait via une taxonomie ou basée sur des objectifs cibles spécifiques, qui s’adressent, par exemple, à des gestionnaires de projet ou des multiplicateurs tels que des bibliothécaires. L’article présente les résultats les plus récents du projet, met en évidence le rôle de la Bibliothèque d’État et universitaire de Basse-Saxe à Göttingen dans ce projet et donne un aperçu des activités planifiées pour la deuxième année du projet

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
