Network science emerged as an interdisciplinary field over the last 20 years, and played a central role to address fundamental problems in other fields, e.g., epidemiology, public health, and transportation, and is now part of most university curriculums. Network dynamics is a major area within network science where researchers study different forms of processes in networked populations, such as the spread of emotions, influence, opinions, flu, ebola, and mass movements. These processes often referred to individually and collectively as contagions. Contagions are increasingly studied because of their economic, social, and political impacts. Yet, resources for studying network dynamics are largely dispersed and stand-alone. Furthermore, many researchers interested in the study of networks are not computer scientists. As a result, they do not have easy access to computing and data resources. Even with the presence of software or tools, it is challenging to install, build, and maintain software. These challenges create a barrier for researchers and domain scientists. The goal of this work is the design and implementation of a research framework for modeling contagions on large networked populations. The framework consists of various systems and services that provide support for researchers and domain scientists at different stages of their research workflow. / Ph. D. / Network science is a field which studies complex networks. Network science emerged over the last 20 years as an interdisciplinary academic field which integrates data, tools, and theories from multiple disciplines, and use this integration to address fundamental problems in other fields, e.g., epidemiology, public health, and transportation, and is now part of most university curriculums. Network dynamics is a major area within network science where researchers study different forms of processes in networked populations, such as the spread of emotions, influence, opinions, flu, ebola, and mass movements. These processes often referred to individually and collectively as contagions. Contagions are increasingly studied because of their economic, social, and political impacts. To study contagions, researchers and domain scientists need both software and hardware that can collect, analyze, and manage large volumes of networked data. Furthermore, for non-computer scientists, it is more challenging to install, build, and maintain the software with the required hardware. These challenges create a barrier for researchers and domain scientists to conduct their experiments and replicate others’ work. The goal of this work is the design and implementation of various systems and services that provide support for researchers and domain scientists at different stages of their research workflow.

Background: Objectives: To produce and synthesize reliable data, systematic reviews need to adhere to rigorous methodological standards. This living meta-review aims to investigate risk of bias and open science practices in systematic reviews from the educational field published between 2022-2023. The aim of this meta-review is to get a better understanding of the current state of educational research regarding the aforementioned topics.  Methods: Eligibility criteria: We included all systematic reviews of educational interventions, instructions, and methods for all K-12 student populations with experimental or quasi-experimental designs where the outcome variables were academic performance of any kind.  Information sources: We searched through the Education Resources Information Centre (ERIC) for systematic reviews published between 2022-2023. In addition, we also hand searched four scholarly databases. Risk of Bias and FAIR principles: To assess systematic reviews risk of bias and open science practices in systematic reviews two tools were used, ROBIS - Risk of bias in systematic reviews, as well as a FAIR assessment tool.  Results: 44 studies that matched our PICOS were included in this meta-review. Out of these studies four (9%) were deemed as having a low risk of bias. The remaining 40 studies were deemed as either having high risk of bias (89%) or unclear risk of bias (2%).  Among the 44 studies included, only four studies (9%) had their data available, and none of them adhered to all of the items regarding the FAIR principles.  Discussion: This meta-review shows that only a small part of systematic reviews in education can be considered low risk of bias, and an even smaller part can be considered adhering to open science principles. Therefore, much needs to change to adapt to new scientific guidelines.

Forschungssoftware ist ein zentraler Bestandteil wissenschaftlicher Arbeit, der gut dokumentiert, öffentlich zugänglich und reproduzierbar sein sollte. Initiativen wie die FAIR4RS-Principles, Software Heritage oder die neuen DFG-Förderprogramme und NFDI-Dienste in Deutschland fördern die nachhaltige Nutzung, Entwicklung und Anerkennung von Forschungssoftware. Neben dem Überblick zum Thema stellen wir in dieser Ausgabe auch die international genutzte Forschungssoftware OpenGeoSys (OGS) vor, zu deren Hauptentwicklern Mitarbeiter des Instituts für Geotechnik der TU Bergakademie Freiberg gehören.

Orientador: Silvana Aparecida Borsetti Gregorio Vidotti / Resumo: A publicação de resultados de pesquisa com base no documento textual vem sendo considerada desde o século XVII como a principal via de comunicação científica. A chegada na Ciência do paradigma baseado nos dados e do movimento da Ciência Aberta inicia a demanda de publicação de outros ativos/assets de pesquisa de diferente natureza. Contrastamos a necessidade de novas vias e abordagens à publicação de forma que os ativos/assets possuam uma adequada descrição para garantir a encontrabilidade, o acesso, o reuso e a reprodutibilidade. Uma das vias para essa publicação é a publicação científica ampliada. Com base nas ferramentas fornecidas pelo método quadripolar, esta pesquisa analisa as transformações epistemológicas, teóricas e técnicas do processo de comunicação científica com o objetivo de formalizar um modelo para as publicações ampliadas, que considere os aspectos semióticos derivados da hibridação de linguagens neste tipo de publicação e dos relacionamentos entre as diferentes entidades que compõem a publicação. A análise parte da conceitualização da publicação ampliada como um espaço semiótico de topografia tanto homogênea quanto heterogênea, devido a sua composição por objetos de diferente natureza. Realiza-se um mapeamento de diferentes ambientes de publicação para extrair as entidades que podem compor uma publicação ampliada. Essas entidades, junto com a dimensão executável que representa e estabelece o processo de criação e lógica entre as entidades, conformam a base ...

The arrival in Science of the paradigm based on data and the Open Science movement initiates the demand for publication of other research assets/assets of different nature. We contrast the need for new ways and approaches to the publication of assets to have an adequate description to ensure the findability, access, reuse and reproducibility. One of the avenues for this publication is the expanded scientific publication. Based on the tools provided by the quadripolar method, this research analyses the epistemological, theoretical and technical transformations of the scientific communication process. The main aim is to formalize a model for enhanced publications, which considers the semiotic aspects derived from the hybridization of languages in this type of publication and the relationships between the different entities that comprise the publication. The analysis starts from the conceptualization of enhanced publications as semiotic spaces of homogeneous and heterogeneous topography, due to their composition by objects of different nature. A mapping of different publication environments is performed to extract the entities that can compose an enhanced publication. These entities, together with the executable dimension that represents and establishes the creation process and logic between the entities, form the basis of...

The purpose of the study is to highlight perceptions about data literacy among employees at Luleå University professional services and institutions. The purpose is motivated on the report that the University Library in Luleå wrote in 2018, a report that shows a discrepancy between the national vision of open research data and the actual research data management at Luleå University of Technology. The university employees' perceptions about the issue can be seen as a current situation description at Luleå University of Technology, but also as a starting point for future discussions about educating data literacy at Luleå University of Technology. The theoretical foundat-ion of the study is social constructionist and is within the socio-cultural perspective formation in which Roger Säljö's interpretations of literature and learning are in focus. The study shows that there are perceptions that express the need for education in data literacy, but also that there are intra-institutional problems regarding get-ting time and space for the education and that there is a demand for a greater collaboration between libraries and institutions on the issue. This is a two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

The thesis deals with openness in the scientific practice and discusses in detail the concept of open science. Apart from theoretical part dedicated to description of science, traditional model of scholarly communication, and initial ideas of openness, thesis summarizes the approaches of particular open science schools of thought and introduces specific tools, initiatives and methods enabling the idea of openness to become reality. Practical part of thesis focuses on description of current state of open science in the Czech Republic and by using the Future wheel prognostic method offers visualization of the future development in science and society, further specifies possible consequences of implementing the concept of open science into practice and defines opportunities and risks of the second scientific revolution.

Current practices in study design and data analysis have led to low reproducibility and replicability of findings in fields such as psychology, medicine, biology, and economics. Because gifted education research relies on the same underlying statistical and sociological paradigms, it is likely that it too suffers from these problems. This article discusses the origin of the poor replicability and introduces a set of open science practices that can increase the rigor and trustworthiness of gifted education’s scientific findings: preregistration, open data and open materials, registered reports, and preprints. Readers are directed to Internet resources for facilitating open science. To model these practices, a pre peer-review preprint of this article is available at https://psyarxiv.com/nhuv3/.
