[CfP] Sci-K @ The Web Conference 2022 – 2nd International Workshop on Scientific Knowledge Representation, Discovery, and Assessment

by Angelo.Salatino

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Sci-K – 2nd International Workshop on Scientific Knowledge Representation, Discovery, and Assessment in conjunction with The Web Conference (WWW) 2022 April 25-29, 2022, Lyon, France (held virtually) web: https://sci-k.github.io, twitter: @scik_workshop Submissions deadline: February 3rd, 2022 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aim and Scope: In the last decades, we have experienced a substantial increase in the volume of published scientific articles and related research objects (e.g., data sets, software packages); a trend that is expected to continue. This opens up fundamental challenges including generating large-scale machine-readable representations of scientific knowledge, making scholarly data discoverable and accessible, and designing reliable and comprehensive metrics to assess scientific impact. The main objective of Sci-K is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to present, educate from, and guide research related to scientific knowledge. Specifically, we foresee three main themes that cover the most important challenges in the field: representation, discoverability, and assessment. Representation. There is an urge for flexible, context-sensitive, fine-grained, and machine-actionable representations of scholarly knowledge that at the same time are structured, interlinked, and semantically rich: Scientific Knowledge Graphs (SKGs). These resources can power several data-driven services for navigating, analysing, and making sense of research dynamics. Current challenges are related to the design of ontologies able to conceptualise scholarly knowledge, model its representation, and enable its exchange across different SKGs. Discoverability. It is important that scholarly information is easily findable, discoverable, and visible, so that it can be mined and organised within SKGs. Hence, we need discovery tools able to crawl the Web and identify scholarly data, whether on a publisher’s website or elsewhere – institutional repositories, preprint servers, open-access repositories, and others. This is a particularly challenging endeavour as it requires a deep understanding of both the scholarly communication landscape and the needs of a variety of stakeholders: researchers, publishers, funders, and the general public. Other challenges are related to the discovery and extraction of entities and concepts, integration of information from heterogeneous sources, identification of duplicates, finding connections between entities, and identifying conceptual inconsistencies. Assessment. Due to the continuous growth in the volume of research output, rigorous approaches for the assessment of research impact are now more valuable than ever. In this context, we urge reliable and comprehensive metrics and indicators of the scientific impact and merit of publications, datasets, research institutions, individual researchers, and other relevant entities. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topics of Interest: * Representation * Data models for the description of scholarly data and their relationships. * Description and use of provenance information of scientific data. * Integration and interoperability models of different data sources. * Discoverability * Methods for extracting metadata, entities and relationships from scientific data. * Methods for the (semi-)automatic annotation and enhancement of scientific data. * Methods and interfaces for the exploration, retrieval, and visualisation of scholarly data. * Assessment * Novel methods, indicators, and metrics for quality and impact assessment of scientific publications, datasets, software, and other relevant entities based on scholarly data. * Uses of scientific knowledge graphs and citation networks for the facilitation of research assessment. * Studies regarding the characteristics or the evolution of scientific impact or merit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Guidelines: * Full research papers (up to 8 pages for main content) * Short research papers (up to 4 pages for main content) * Vision/Position papers (up to 4 pages for main content) The workshop calls for full research papers (up to 8 pages + 2 pages of appendices + 2 pages of references), describing original work on the listed topics, and short papers (up to 4 pages + 2 pages of appendices + 2 pages of references), on early research results, new results on previously published works, demos, and projects. In accordance with Open Science principles, research papers may also be in the form of data papers and software papers (short or long papers). The former present the motivation and methodology behind the creation of data sets that are of value to the community; e.g., annotated corpora, benchmark collections, training sets. The latter presents software functionality, its value for the community, and its application to a non-specialist reader. To enable reproducibility and peer-review, authors will be requested to share the DOIs of the data sets and the software products described in the articles and thoroughly describe their construction and reuse. The workshop will also call for vision/position papers (up to 4 pages + 2 pages of appendices + 2 pages of references) providing insights towards new or emerging areas, innovative or risky approaches, or emerging applications that will require extensions to the state of the art. These do not have to include results already, but should carefully elaborate about the motivation and the ongoing challenges of the described area. Submissions for review must be in PDF format and must adhere to the ACM template and format. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines, or do not view or print properly, may be rejected without review. The proceedings of the workshops will be published jointly with The Web Conference 2022 proceedings. Submit your contributions following the link: https://sci-k.github.io/2022/#submission ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: * Paper submission: February 1st, 2022 (23:59, AoE timezone) * Notification of acceptance: March 1st, 2022 * Camera-ready due: March 10th, 2022 * Workshop day: April 25th or 26th, 2022 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizing Committee (alphabetical order): Paolo Manghi, ISTI-CNR, Italy Andrea Mannocci, ISTI-CNR, Italy Francesco Osborne, The Open University, UK Dimitris Sacharidis, Université Libre De Bruxelles, Belgium Angelo Salatino, The Open University, UK Thanasis Vergoulis, “Athena” RC, Greece

Using the insider-outsider continuum to describe positionality

by Gabriele Bammer

A useful description and analysis of the insider-outsider continuum is provided by Rebecca Laycock Pedersen and Varvara Nikulina in their blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/12/14/insider-outsider-continuum/. The continuum is a handy way for researchers to describe their relationship with those they are researching (positionality). Positionality affects ethical & moral dilemmas plus dynamics of research. Outsiders have 'fresh eyes,' but lack lived experience & may not reach same depth of understanding or capacity to instigate change. Insiders may have access to insights unavailable to outsiders, but may miss taken-for-granted aspects of group's practice. Researchers may sit in more than one place on insider-outsider continuum depending on which aspect of identity is considered & positionality may change during the research. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Evaluating stakeholder engagement

by Gabriele Bammer

Essentials for evaluation are discussed in part 9 of a new introductory guide to stakeholder engagement at https://i2insights.org/2021/12/09/evaluating-engagement/. Key questions to ask are: Who is the evaluation for? What do we want to know? What resources & skills are available to conduct the evaluation? There are also key questions to ask when planning the research, during the research process and at the end of the research eg Why are we engaging stakeholders and what do we want to achieve? What is working well? Did we meet our aims? Were there unexpected outcomes? =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Leadership and the hidden politics of co-produced research

by Gabriele Bammer

4 leadership styles for negotiating tensions in researcher-stakeholder coproduction are discussed by Catherine Durose, Beth Perry, Liz Richardson and Rikki Dean in their blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/12/07/leadership-and-co-production/. Tensions occur between a) purposes of scientific work, b) practices of scientific work & c) how power is negotiated. Leadership styles are: 1) creative leadership addresses inequalities in power & sees relationships as precondition to creativity, 2) outcome-focused leadership focuses on getting things done & rejects group decision making, 3) visionary leadership characterised by empathy & giving everyone an opportunity to participate, and 4) egalitarian leadership creates shared inclusive processes, transparent structures & shared decision making. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 Australia +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://i2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

[Invitation 12/15] Operationalizing Public Participation in Federal Science & Tech Policy: A "Whole of Society" approach

by Mahmud Farooque

Operationalizing Public Participation in Federal Science & Tech Policy: A "Whole of Society" approach<https://bit.ly/3HRo4PO> Wed, December 15, 2021, 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM EST ASU Barrett & O'Connor Washington Center, 1800 I St NW, 8th floor, Washington, DC 20006 About this event Calls abound to increase diversity, equity, inclusion and access in federal policy and decision-making. In January 2021, the Biden administration issued Executive Order 13985<https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/ex…> mandating that “the Federal Government should pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality.” In May 2021, House Science Committee Chair Eddie Bernice Johnson called upon<https://science.house.gov/imo/media/doc/5.6.21%20CJohnson%20OS%20NSF%20Part…> the scientific establishment to “engage nontraditional stakeholders and diverse voices in NSF research, including civic organizations, labor, local and tribal governments, farmers, and even the public at large.” The need to operationalize democratic governance of science and technology research and development is clear, yet few methods exist to do so. In 2010, a group of researchers, educators, and policy practitioners led by Arizona State University, the Museum of Science Boston, SciStarter, the Loka Institute, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars established the Expert and Citizen Assessment of Science and Technology (ECAST) network<https://www.wilsoncenter.org/event/reinventing-technology-assessment> to address this gap. Over the course of a decade, ECAST has developed an innovative and reflexive participatory technology assessment (pTA)<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040162521004066?via…> method to support informed, inclusive, and democratic science policy decision-making. The network has conducted public deliberations across the United States. ECAST’s portfolio of topics and sponsors include planetary defense (NASA), community resilience (NOAA), nuclear waste (DOE), gene drives (DARPA), driverless cars (Kettering Foundation and Charles Koch Foundation), geoengineering (Alfred P. Sloan Foundation) and human gene editing (NIH). Join the ECAST network partners on December 15th from 3-5:30 PM ET to learn about pTA methods and applications, participate in a forum simulation and learn about the opportunities, challenges, and successes of this stakeholder and public engagement method. Register: https://bit.ly/3HRo4PO **Photo ID and proof of COVID-19 vaccination required at check-in. Wearing of a face mask is required while not eating or drinking.** CSPO In DC<https://www.eventbrite.com/o/cspo-in-dc-8596630104> The Consortium for Science, Policy, and Outcomes at Arizona State University is an intellectual network aimed at enhancing the contribution of science and technology to society’s pursuit of equality, justice, freedom, and overall quality of life. CSPO’s DC office expands its capacity to help decision makers and institutions grapple with the immense power and complexity of science, technology and society by communicating knowledge and methods, educating students and decision makers, forming strategic partnerships, participating in science policy initiatives, and building community of intellectuals and practitioners.
