Title

From Open Access to Open Science: making sense of scientific content

Abstract

The vast amounts of new scientific information and data offer new insights and give rise to new opportunities for improved analytics and understanding. OpenMinTeD (www.openminted.eu) sets out to promote Open Science through the broad use of interoperable text and data mining resources, tools and services on homogeneously accessible research literature and related content by researchers and all interested parties in order to foster knowledge discovery and advance research and innovation for the benefit of all society. It provides services for appropriately documenting, depositing, managing, publishing and sharing scientific content, data, text mining software tools, services and workflows, while it leverages scalable computing infrastructure and storage facilities for their optimised deployment.

TITLE

Peer review at the crossroads  

ABSTRACT

The workshop builds on the results of the OpenUp landscape scan and the OpenAIRE report on open peer review. The workshop has multiple purposes including (1) assessing existing and evolving methods and functions of alternative peer review mechanisms, (2) breaking down peer review into the basic processes to identify the benefits and challenges, and (3) identifying questions and issues that need further investigation. 

Group discussions will also touch upon issues such as the sustainability, long-term availability of alternative review tools, and their uptake by researchers, and the incorporation of these methods into institutional, national, funders’ and publishers’ policies. 

OpenUP and OpenAIRE are dedicated to engage with different (disciplinary, inter-disciplinary) research communities from the social sciences, life sciences, energy, arts and humanities to identify the requirements from the emerging trends as posed by Open Science and e-infrastructural interconnected environments. Both projects aim at developing a sustainable framework that is relevant for and responsive to the Open Science needs.

Title

Data Analytics meets Socials Sciences:New Frontiers of collaboration

Abstract

Computational social science, a fast-growing interdisciplinary subject, revolutionizes both fundamental legs of the scientific method: empirical research, especially through big data, by analyzing the digital footprint left behind through social online activities; and scientific theory, especially through computer simulation model building through social simulation [Wikipedia]. In this talk, I’ll argue about the need of new methodological tools, text analytics workflows and data infrastructures and discuss the intertwining importance of fairness, transparency and computability in the context of two projects. Based largely on the theoretical scheme of political claims analysis, the aim of the first project was to map, document and analyze the dynamics of social movements in a longitudinal perspective, by employing text and data mining solutions. The second project examined xenophobia in Greece during the economic crisis by analysing high volumes of heterogeneous data. netfucks
