data_analysis idea for video

Note: This has been used, the video is produced. Data analysis We will use Buster Keaton public domain videos (one week, …) Flow Data analysis and results are a thrill when collecting data, different formats are often possible data format modification is costly, the later it comes the more costly making sure the data collected will be 1 stored, 2 analysed in its format is a time saver. In doubt, make the data computer readable does reduce that cost ideas Before the data collection starts, it is useful to know what format it will have.

How the Institutional Data Repository helped me promote my data

Background I have recently completed a project that involved curating, researching and staging three performances of live electronic music compositions by the English composer Hugh Davies (1943-2005). Staging these concerts has, in many cases, involved building the equipment required to perform them from scratch, based on incomplete or ambiguous information gleaned from archival documents. In addition, these are experimental pieces, with scores that comprise text-based instructions and descriptions rather than standard notation, as well as other inherently unpredictable elements that mean that the pieces turn out differently every time they are performed.

generic latest version

latest change: 2018-10-15 Here we are, the first real output of this outreach eeFDM project is here, have a look at our video available on figshare at https://figshare.com/s/e2b14570b5991931c92c It will be used as a generic (front credit) for longer videos with more content, we will probably start with a video about finding the data (avoiding data loss). Do you think you will use the video on your website and talks?

selfish reasons to promote rdm for scientists

original at https://politicalsciencereplication.wordpress.com/2017/11/22/what-has-reproducibility-promotion-done-for-me/ Summary: long term benefits on getting grants, collaborators, visibility and a different (interesting) profile on the job market. It is pretty difficult to show tangible benefits. But I’m noticing more and more now that being a data champion is not a distraction; it’s an important facet of my profile that has helped my academic career in many ways: Grant success: My project “Fostering Transparency in Government Institutions and Higher Education” has received funding from the British Academy.

scientists’ perceptions about data reuse

modified from http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2018/03/20/what-factors-do-scientists-perceive-as-promoting-or-hindering-scientific-data-reuse/ and the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0189288 (http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0189288) Interesting conclusions: 1. researchers who re-use the data are different from researchers making data open for reuse 2. expressed lack of trust in reused data was not a factor explaining a lack of data reuse: while trust is a problem per se, it does not impeede data reuse. 3. there is a correlation between data reuse and perceived efficacy of data reuse (in contrast to the authors, I am not infering in which direction this might be causal).

What we discovered so far

Method Here, we use the text collected and analysed so far (mostly via browsing the web, few direct contribution from the crowd), comparing it to a report from the research data alliance report. Both reports can be found as blog posts found under the category analysis. Summary We focused our analysis on three interesting content: Marketing strategies (how to reach researchers), arguments for research data management, and stories to tell.
