From mmchenow at umich.edu Tue May 5 10:55:59 2020 From: mmchenow at umich.edu (Megan Chenoweth) Date: Tue, 5 May 2020 10:55:59 -0400 Subject: [Rdap] Determining first author for datasets Message-ID: Hello RDAP listserv, Does anyone ever advise data depositors about the order in which to list dataset creators/contributors as authors on the dataset? Or do you have any guidelines on how to decide who is the first author? A little context: the repository that I manage (NaNDA on openICPSR) houses datasets that are a) usually based on other data sources and b) not necessarily the end result of one single study or publication. Dataset creation is usually a joint effort by four roles: - Data analyst: one or more, who write code and create the actual datasets. - Postdocs: who define the kinds of measures they're interested in exploring for their publications and provide the theoretical framework for what goes into our datasets. - PI: the person who started NaNDA and directs everyone's work, but often is not involved in the minutiae of creating particular datasets. - Me: part project manager helping to facilitate dataset creation, part data curator writing documentation, tweaking variable names and labels, etc. I have been listing them as: PI, data analyst(s), postdocs, me. Our PI thinks it's not appropriate to list her first when others are more directly involved. But of the three other roles, we're not sure what kind of effort (technical or intellectual) is the most appropriate to recognize first or last (the two positions that, my PI tells me, count the most for tenure and promotion considerations in her field). I'm really curious to hear what the rest of RDAP thinks, and whether this has come up in any conversations with the data creators/depositors you work with.

Collaborating and Connecting Community during Global Change ?* *November 30 - December 1, 2020, Online* *In collaboration with Asia-Pacific Chapter of iSchools* International Conference on Asia-Pacific Digital Libraries (ICADL), which started in Hong Kong in 1998 and over the years traveled many countries in the Asia-Pacific region, is known as a major digital library conference and is also ranked as "Core A" conference. Along with JCDL and TPDL, ICADL is held annually as one of the three top venues for connecting digital library, computer science and library and information science communities. This year ICADL will be held online from November 30 to December 1, 2020 and according to Japan time zone. ICADL conference will also collaborate with Asia-Pacific Chapter of iSchools (AP-iSchools) in this year. Many emerging research areas such as Digital Humanities, Open Sciences, Social Informatics originated from digital library research over the past decades, and it is essential that ICADL continues as a platform for scholars to connect and develop in these emerging as well as extant areas. ICADL 2020 is planned as a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and discuss together across domains for innovative digital information environment especially during a time of pandemic, upheavals in work, culture, health services and so on. An important feature of ICADL is the diversity of the Asia-Pacific region in many aspects ? languages, cultures, social systems, development levels and technologies. This diversity will bring new ideas and thoughts to the participants. This year the conference will be held online same as many other related events due to COVID-19 pandemics. Presentations will be then performed online as well as they will be also recorded and disseminated later for open access by the community. There will be no attendance fee, and only prior registration of the attendees' information is required. The conference is free for anyone to attend! Proceedings of ICADL 2020 will be published by Springer as an LNCS volume, which is indexed by Scopus. In this year we invite three kinds of submissions: full research papers, short research papers and practitioners papers. Note that there will be no demo or poster submissions for this year. We encourage the potential authors who planned to submit posters or demos to consider extending their submissions to a short paper format that has length up to 6 pages. *CALL FOR PAPERS* *TOPICS* We invite submissions on diverse topics related to digital libraries and related fields including (but not limited to): INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, DATA SCIENCE & APPLICATIONS Information retrieval and access technologies to digital libraries content Data mining and information extraction IoT and digital libraries AI for digital libraries Knowledge discovery from digital libraries content Infrastructures & development of Web Archives Data science techniques and digital libraries Semantic Web, linked data and metadata technologies Ontologies and knowledge organization systems Applications and quality assurance of digital libraries Research data and open access Visualization, user interface and user experience Social networking and collaborative interfaces in digital libraries Personal information management and personal digital libraries Performance evaluation Information service technologies in digital libraries Bibliometrics and scholarly communication in digital libraries Curation and preservation technologies in digital libraries Information organization support CULTURAL INFORMATION & DIGITAL HUMANITIES Cultural heritage access and analysis Digital history Scholarly data analysis Scientometrics Access and usage of Web Archives Community Informatics Collaborations among archives, libraries, museums Collection development and discovery Digital cultural memory initiatives Memory organizations in the digital space Digital preservation and digital curation Digital library/digital archive infrastructures Digital library education and digital literacy Higher education uses of digital collections Research data infrastructures, management and use Information policies Participatory cultural heritage SOCIAL INFORMATICS AND SOCIO-TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES IN DIGITAL LIBRARIES Data analytics for social networks Socio-technical aspects of digital libraries Sustainability of digital libraries Research methods for digital libraries during social isolation times Roles of digital libraries for isolated societies Digital libraries for learning, collaboration and organization in the networked environment Societal and cultural issues in knowledge, information and data Intellectual freedom, censorship, misinformation Intellectual property issues Policy, legal, and ethical concerns for digital libraries Social, legal, ethical, financial issues of Web Archives Social policy issues on digital libraries Information behavior analysis with digital libraries Social science with digital libraries Information work and digital libraries Information economics and digital libraries Education with digital libraries Participatory cultures and digital libraries Digital scholarship and services Open data initiatives and utilization *SUBMISSION* FORMATTING & SUBMISSION LENGTHS All submissions have to be in English as PDF files.

Systematic Review and Evidence Synthesis trainings held online August 3 - 7, 2020 Message-ID: ***apologies for cross posting*** This summer, Cornell University Library will host two unique training sessions with opportunities for you to hone your systematic review and evidence synthesis skills. The workshops will take place synchronously via Zoom and are free to participants! Space is limited and registrants will be assessed in the order in which they apply! Applications will begin on May 27 at 12:00pm EST and review of applications will begin June 10. Systematic Reviews and Evidence Synthesis Beyond the Health Sciences: A Training for Librarians (August 3-5, 2020) Enhance your database searching skills and learn about the possibilities for collaborating with researchers in conducting evidence syntheses across academic areas. Evidence syntheses, such as systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and meta-analyses, have long been common in the health sciences and their popularity is growing in other disciplines (e.g., Agriculture, Life Sciences, International Development, Education, Nutrition, Psychology). They are grounded in transparent, unbiased approaches, and are often used to assist public policy decision-making across academic sectors. In this three-day online training via Zoom, librarians will learn about the entire evidence synthesis process with special emphasis on creating comprehensive, reproducible search strategies. Other topics covered will include creating and registering protocols, following guidelines for methodology, and using tools to manage the process. Instructors include librarians from The University of Minnesota Library and Cornell University Library with experience teaching and collaborating on multidisciplinary systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and other evidence synthesis projects. Please join us and grow your skills in this exciting emerging area! The synchronous workshop will be held from 12 pm - 5 pm EST over 3 days via Zoom Meeting. Registration will be limited to 20 people, who will be selected based on need and impact of the training as evidenced by answers to 3 short application questions. Applicants will be assessed in the order in which they apply until all spaces are filled. Review of applications will begin June 10 and successful registrants will receive confirmation. All other applicants will be placed on a wait list. Visit https://guides.library.cornell.edu/evidence-synthesis/trainings for the link to apply. Email inquiries to: Chris Fournier (ctf43 at cornell.edu). Introduction to R and using litsearchr to develop and test search strategies (August 6 - 7, 2020) In this interactive workshop, you will learn the basics of using R and RStudio, a powerful programming language and interface used by researchers across disciplines for statistical analysis, data cleaning, data visualization, and script-writing for automated tasks. This workshop will make use of a newly-developed Library Carpentry curriculum and the Carpentries' practice-based teaching methods, providing participants with hands-on coding experience. In addition to the basics of R and RStudio, participants will learn to use the litsearchr R package. litsearchr facilitates the development of a systematic search strategy, partially automating keyword selection from a set of search results and writing Boolean searches, including automating truncation of terms. This is an introduction to R and RStudio designed for participants with no programming experience. Library Carpentry's teaching is hands-on and will take place via zoom. Participants will need access to a computer with a Mac, Linux, or Windows operating system that they have administrative privileges on. This synchronous workshop will take place from 12 pm - 5 pm EST over two days (August 6 and 7). Registration will be limited to 15 people, which will be selected based on need and impact of the training as evidenced by answers to 3 short application questions. Applicants will be assessed in the order in which they apply until all spaces are filled. Review of applications will begin June 10 and successful registrants will receive confirmation. All other applicants will be placed on a wait list. Visit https://guides.library.cornell.edu/evidence-synthesis/trainings for the link to apply.
