This week I attended the DataONE All Hands Meeting in Albuquerque. On the first night, we unveiled some Data Stories products at the intern poster session. Throughout the night we had many people stopping by to hear about the project, our progress, and ask questions about the interview and story Continue reading Data Stories Update from the All Hands Meeting
In a previous post I realized the need to do a systematic review of literature to determine prevalence of the use of figshare, both in terms of citation and in terms of actual studies of an open science platform such as figshare. To start with, I need to determine what Continue reading Designing a Systematic Review Assessing Prevalence of Open Science Data Sharing
I’m behind in consulting the literature for references to figshare. From participating in the 2013 Walter E. Dean Environmental Information Management Institute, I am aware of a trend in research for using scholarly databases to conduct a “meta analysis.” The book about meta analysis we referenced for the course in Continue reading Designing a Meta-Analysis for Data Sharing via Open Science Networks
In earlier post I mentioned that I would like to look at positive sentiments such as “I like @figshare” or “I prefer @figshare” or “I use @figshare” across twitter. A quick Web search on Google for “archive of past tweets” (without quotes) brought my attention to this September 4, 2013 article on Mashable: Continue reading #OpenScience Sentiment Analysis via Twitter Data
A few items to comment on. First, my personal e-mail was sent a notification from twitter that suggested certain other organizations to follow, apparently based on my interest in figshare – the title of the e-mail was “Suggestions based on figshare” Twitter suggested “Similar to figshare” includes: PLOS (@PLOS) Open Continue reading Who Follows Whom? Exploring Open Science Social Networks
Continuing some initial explorations on how to explore data sharing practices among users of an online repository such as figshare. As an active (or more accurately, formerly active) twitter user (@mountainsol), I recall finding that some of my information was stored by a service called “favstar.” Twitter has the ability Continue reading Exploring #OpenScience Communities via Twitter
Continuing to look at figshare today. Facebook has some limited data available concerning users. It is not possible to see “who likes figshare” on Facebook because that information is private, unlike twitter, which allows any user to view the “followers” and “friends” of a twitter user. The limited data that Continue reading #OpenScience Social Networks: Facebook and Google+
In support of the sociocultural working group, I am now assisting with an inquiry into the phenomenon of sharing data online via publishing and archival services. In particular, I’m looking at the user community surrounding FigShare. Over the summer I took a course in Scholarly Publishing. The class examined a Continue reading Survey of Data Management Early Adopters
Some earlier conversations suggested that I would be assisting with a usability analysis of the DataUP Tool in the UTK-ORNL User Experience Lab. However, more recent discussions between Mike Frame with the USGS and Carly Strasser and Patricia Cruse with the California Digital Library have shifted focus to the Data Continue reading User Experience Lab: DMPTool Usability Testing
Open folder on HDD for DataONE DataUP user experience -DataONE -> DataUP Usability Study Question: are there any materials on DataUP from EIMI course? Likely but not able to find at the present time – the files from EIMI courses are on personal google drive and will look later. From Continue reading Locating “Generic” Environmental Dataset for DataUP Usability Testing
