Data Visualization and R
No full textThis workshop focuses on principles and techniques for the visualization of data, with an equal emphasis on theory and implementation. Drawing on classic works by Cleveland (Visualizing Data), Tufte (The Visual Display of Quantitative Information), and Wilkinson (The Grammar of Graphics), a range of best practices for visualization are illustrated. Recently developed techniques for large-scale, 3D, and interactive visualization are also discussed. For each of these approaches, methods for creating similar graphics in the R open-source statistical language are demonstrated, using packages such as ggplot2, lattice, and others. Interactive visualization packages such as playwith, shiny and others are also explored.Presented at IASSIST 40th Annual Conference, "Aligning Data and Research Infrastructure", Toronto, Canada, June 3, 2014.Womack, Ryan (2014 June).

Bel Jour: a discipline-specific portal to periodicals
No full textConvenient, subject-based access to current periodicals can be difficult to achieve in today’s mixed and changing journals environment. This paper describes the creation of a web-accessible database of journals in business and economics, using Microsoft Access and ColdFusion. Bel Jour, the Business and Economics Locator for Journals at Rutgers, provides value-added descriptive information about a specific subject-based journal collection, along with convenient access to content from this collection. Although the actual journal collection is dispersed among many physical and online locations, Bel Jour provides a single, virtual point of access for researchers in the discipline.Published in print as Womack, Ryan. “Bel Jour: a discipline-specific portal to periodicals.” Information Technology and Libraries, Volume 21, Number 2, June 2002, pp. 81-86.Peer reviewe

Psychology and the New Private Law
No full textTess Wilkinson-Ryan offers a framework for understanding the contributions of psychological methods and insights for private law. She argues that psychological analysis of legal decision-making challenges the predominant conception of choice and preference in private law, especially in the wake of the law and economics movement. Unlike economists, psychologists almost never talk about preferences; they talk about decisions, choices, beliefs, and attitudes. One of the interventions of psychology in the NPL is to reject simplistic accounts of preferences. Focusing on cognitive and social psychology, Wilkinson-Ryan explores how each choice entails a series of considerations: doing the math (calculation), understanding self-interest (motivation), reckoning with the visceral experience of being a human (emotion), internalizing social norms (social influence), and conducting a moral audit (moral values). In doing so, Wilkinson-Ryan outlines the case for taking behavior and cognition seriously in the NPL
