DLF e-Research Network Members Attend 2015 RDAP Summit: DLF e-Research Network Members Attend 2015 RDAP Summit
Bulletin of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2015Co-Authors: Gail Clement, Rita Van DuinenAbstract:EDITOR'S SUMMARY The DLF e-Research Network, created in 2014, brings together the Digital Library Federation (DLF) and the Council on Library and Information Resources to help academic and research libraries devise collaborative strategies for data management support practices. e-Research Network members develop support strategies appropriate for their institutions through collaboration, resource sharing, webinars and custom consultations. One of 13 universities participating in the e-Research Network, the California Institute of Technology has been a member of the network's 2015 cohort, engaging with the wider research data management community and considering roles, resources, storage infrastructure, data ownership, rights and management costs. The 2015 cohort met in conjunction with the RDAP Summit as a community-building and shared-learning experience, and in a later debriefing session they identified key themes to pursue. As an emerging community of practice the DLF anticipates working with a new cohort of institutions annually.

Collaboration Among e-Research Projects in the UK: An Analysis Using Online Research Methods
e-Research Collaboration, 2010Co-Authors: Matthijs Besten, Jenny Fry, Robert Ackland, Ralph SchroederAbstract:In this chapter, we investigate the use of web-based data for mapping the collaboration dynamics of e-Research at the project level. We focus on the web presences of projects that were part of the UK e-Science and e-Social Science programmes, cyberinfrastructure-like efforts that aimed to foster the development of collaboration infrastructure, initially in the sciences and latterly in the social sciences. We explore two different analytic approaches for mapping levels and orientation towards collaboration amongst projects that constitute the UK e-Science and e-Social Science programmes: Content Analysis and Hyperlink Analysis. In addition to presenting results of these analyses, we also discuss the effectiveness of unobtrusive research techniques such as web content analysis and hyperlink analysis for mapping collaboration dynamics, not only at the project level but also in terms of sensitivity to broader contexts e.g., institutional. We compare these approaches with obtrusive research techniques such as surveys of individuals participating in e-Research

Collaboration among e-Research projects in the UK : an analysis using online research methods
2010Co-Authors: Matthijs Den Besten, Jenny Fry, Robert Ackland, Ralph SchroederAbstract:In this chapter, we investigate the use of web-based data for mapping the collaboration dynamics of e-Research at the project level. We focus on the web presences of projects that were part of the UK e-Science and e-Social Science programmes, cyberinfrastucture-like efforts that aimed to foster the development of collaboration infrastructure, initially in the sciences and latterly in the social sciences. We explore two different analytic approaches for mapping levels and orientation towards collaboration amongst projects that constitute the UK e-Science and e-Social Science programmes.

Mapping Global e-Research: Scientometrics and Webometrics
ORA review team, 2009Co-Authors: Eric T. Meyer, Hw Park, Ralph SchroederAbstract:This paper uses traditional scientometric and also webometric measures to gauge the prominence of e-Research across the globe. We have used the same keywords for both samples in an analysis of e-Research, using a wide variety of labels to capture the field as widely as possible. Thus we are able to compare scientometrics (broadly speaking, publication outputs) and webometrics (again, broadly, web presence), and this comparison makes for an interesting investigation into the global distribution of e-Research. This research also confirms contrasts in terms of the different labels used in different countries, such as the greater prominence of ‘cyberinfrastructure’ in the US and of ‘e-Science’ in the UK. Apart from this expected result, there are a number of surprising findings when we examine the global rank order of countries but also the relative prominence of publications as against online presence. Clearly, e-Research has recently emerged as a distinctive field which can be charted more easily than other areas of research. At the same time, there are a number of challenges inherent in scoping e-Research by the visibility of publications and online presence. In the conclusion, we discuss some of these, and indicate the usefulness and limits of research of this type.

e-Research Infrastructures and Scientific Communication
2007Co-Authors: Ralph Schroeder, Jennifer A Debeer, Jenny FryAbstract:Infrastructures for e-Research are playing an increasing role within the rapidly growing domain of online scientific and scholarly communication. These infrastructures consist of networks of tools and data that are shared by communities of researchers. Current advanced technology developments in e-science raise the question as to whether infrastructures for e-science will become a small niche within the rapidly growing domain of online scientific communication or if these systems, consisting of research instruments and scientific communication, will coalesce into a more broadly integrated system of knowledge production, dissemination and access. To be sure, the networks of data, tools and outputs that constitute current infrastructure developments, such as standards, ontologies, databases and e-print archives, and overlay journals, not to mention other such future scholarly services, are developing into a complex new system of knowledge production. Whether this new system can be said to constitute a movement towards a greater integration of scientific work, tools and resources or a more fragmented landscape of knowledge production and dissemination remains to be seen.

CHI 2014 Game Jam (4Research): Game Jams as a Research Tool
2014Co-Authors: Amani Naseem, Allan Fowler, Ben Schouten, Florian 'floyd' Mueller, Menno Deen, Robert CercosAbstract:Recent years have witnessed a rise in Game Jams organized events to create playable prototypes in a very short time frame. Game Jams offer a unique and quick way to prototype games. Beyond that, we believe Game Jams can also be seen as a design research method, situated in the research-through-design tradition, to create knowledge in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. The goal of this Game Jam is thus twofold: first, participants will use the Game Jam approach to investigate a research question; second, participants can, through actual practice, identify advantages and disadvantages of Game Jams as a research method. Hereby the Game Jam workshop provides a unique opportunity for HCI practitioners and researchers to gain experience in applying gameoriented methods for research.
