When are data? : Reflections on the making (possible) of research data.
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Digital research data is often advanced as a trouble-free concept and used to describe the material of research at all stages in a research process. However frequently such framing lacks understanding of the roles of disciplinary and organisational cultures, and of what the various practices, including those of funding policy and university administration, involved in shaping what research data are and can do and when. In this paper we explore data and the making of data during the construction of two big science facilities in Sweden, the European Spallation Source (ESS) and MAX IV. Specifically we focus on the necessary infrastructure for dealing with various aspects of research data management (RDM). We transform the question "What are data?" into "When are data?" and highlight how research data are also shaped by their entanglement across different support services and professional practices aiding, preceding and succeeding the work of the researcher. This brings into relief how the making of data relates to the making possible of data and that making possible occurs by setting up and planning for production, storage, and use of research data. Paying attention to temporal aspects in the construction of research data allows us to show some ways in which the meaning of data is contingent to when they are approached, to the possibilities of support infrastructures and their various materialities and to strategic roles data are assigned. This paper draws on a study carried out in 2014 and 2015. The material used was compiled in interviews and document studies.

Researchers’ use of social network sites : a scoping review
- 2016
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study is a scoping review of 80 research articles in LIS and related fields (2004-2014) on the use of social network sites by researchers. The results show that social network sites are used as part of scholarly life, yet with disciplinary differences. It is also shown that the area lacks methodological, theoretical and empirical coherence and theoretical stringency. The most salient strands of research (General uptake, Outreach, Special tools/cases, Assessing impact, Practices/new modes of communication) are mapped and ways to improve research in the field are identified. This provides a first step towards a more comprehensive understanding of the roles of social network sites in scholarship.

The time of data – conditions for digital knowledge production in big science
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Increasingly the material research deals with is cast as data. This is an ambiguous concept, which describes the matter of research in all stages of the research process. From having been seen as a stepping-stone on the way to producing the scientific results, increasingly data is itself positioned as the result. At the same time demands for data preservation and open data are often motivated with the hope that they will be of some use for new discoveries in the future. This poster highlights some of the ways in which notions of data emerge in the construction of big science facilities in order to raise some issues concerning implications for how and when knowledge production is thought to occur. We studied data and their making in setting up of two large-scale research facilities in southern Sweden, ESS and MAX IV, specifically of the necessary infrastructure for dealing with research data management. The main focus is on temporal aspects of data, thus shifting the interest from the question “what are data?” to the often more productive question “when are data?”. This also works to emphasis various sociomaterial entanglements shaping research data and its meaning in different organisational contexts.

Cultures of Search in the Social Study of Information
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- With digital infrastructures now permeating most aspects of society, online search has become integral to everyday life in unprecedented ways. Looking for information is today mostly done online and mediated through the various tools and devices that we carry with us on a daily basis. This way search is enmeshed into our cultural practices and everyday life, yet it often remains invisible. Furthermore, algorithms and economic interests organise search and thus contribute to structuring private as much as professional lives and public and personal memories. Being searchable is a feature of information that is culturally and socially structured and which needs to be explored from a variety of perspectives in order to understand the currently on-going “searchification” of society. This session wants to put the spotlight on the narratives, ideologies, ethical dimensions, and also the mundane practices tied to online search - its meaning, function, implications and limits - in contemporary society.; Published meeting abstract

Institutionella arkiv som en ny typ av samling
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Biblioteken har traditionellt byggt upp sina samlingar genom förvärv, men i och med de institutionella arkiven (och liknande databaser) utvecklar biblioteken i allt högre grad samlingar där lärosätets lokala forskningsproduktion görs tillgänglig för såväl det egna lärosätets personal och studenter som för olika delar av det omgivande samhället (Kohl, 2009). Givet såväl nationella som internationella initiativ kring öppen tillgång till forskningsresultat kan dessa samlingar förväntas öka i såväl omfattning som betydelse i framtiden. Snarare än att erbjuda svar vill vi i detta bidrag ge underlag för en vidare diskussion kring de institutionella arkiven som en ny typ av samlingar som byggs upp, organiseras och kan integreras med andra samlingar såväl vid lärosätesbiblioteken som genom återanvändning av andra aktörer.Det väcker potentiellt frågor som berör såväl hur arbetet med de institutionella arkiven relaterar till hur man gör med andra delar av bibliotekens samlingar och system för kunskapsorganisation, som hur vi ska tänka kring samlingar, delar av samlingar och hypersamlingar. En utgångspunkt är dessutom att publiceringspraktiker inom olika ämnesområden skiljer sig åt. Vilken betydelse har detta för hur man skapar förutsättningar för att bygga upp samlingen? Hur hanterar vi t.ex. att de institutionella arkiven är synnerligen diversifierade med avseende på innehåll täckning, filformat, versioner (pre-/postprint), upphovsrättsliga frågor, m.m.?Vad händer när biblioteken både hanterar de institutionella arkiven i uppbyggnad och mer långsiktigt ska säkra tillgången till dem? Hur utmanas det traditionella perspektivet på forskningsbibliotekets samlingar, som har syftat till att ge tillgång till material till det egna lärosätets forskare och studenter, när man bygger en samling som riktar sig utåt till potentiella användare över hela världen?Kohl, D.F.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The session engages with an acute tension evident in scholarly communication: We are witnessing a great deal of innovation and experimentation in relation to the way research is performed and shared. The push towards, and need for, innovation and creativity in academic research is being emphasized to an ever increasing extent. A rich set of digital tools and transdisciplinary engagements have opened the door for research conducted and reported in increasingly hybridised, dynamic and interactive ways. At the same time, academic research is increasingly being evaluated by focusing on quantitative analyses based on publications; analyses which privilege established scholarly practices and publication venues. In the session, we are interested in exploring collectively on the one hand, the voice in and position from which we report on research and - indeed - conduct research. On the other hand, how do we use documents and artefacts to tell our stories? Digital media provide new affordances through a broader selection of modes of representation to present data, results and argumentation. The session is conducted as a 'conversation café', where each café table focuses on one aspect of these opportunities.
