Research Questions and Research Plans
Let's start brainstorming formal research questions, then you can flush out the scope and add your research plans for a June 30th mini-deliverable.
Data citation practice inventory within journals
Owner: Sarah.
- What are various practices for data citation within academic papers? How prevalent is each variety?
- How do these practices vary across discipline, journal, data type, data source?
- How have these practices varied across time?
Scope and Plan
- which journals?
- I'll add a link with some info --Heather
- which time periods?
- what data will you extract?
- how many datapoints do you expect?
- what stats will you run? what is your statistical power?
- what do you plan to have complete by June 30th?
- plans for integration with other intern work?
Data sharing and citation policies
Owner: Nic
- What are the data sharing and citation policies applicable to authors, from funders, journals, institutions, and repositories?
- How are the collages of applicable policies different by discipline, journal, data type, data source?
- How have the collages of applicable policies changed across time?
- How do the applicable policies correlate with data sharing behaviour
Comment: this may need narrowing down...
Scope and Plan
- where to focus the research. Specific issues of specific journals? Same as Sarah's?
- what data will you extract?
- how many datapoints do you expect?
- what stats will you run? what is your statistical power?
- what do you plan to have complete by June 30th?
- plans for integration with other intern work?
Data citation practice inventory for repositories
Owner: unclaimed
- What are all the ways that data housed in given repositories are cited or attributed?
- How do these practices vary across discipline, journal, data type, data source?
- How have these practices varied across time?
(Very similar to Sarah's project, above)
Scope and Plan
- which repositories? TreeBASE, Pangaea, the ORNL DAAC archive ?
- how will you bound the problem? a subset of repository entries? a subset of journals for citation and attribution links?
- what methods will be used to search for citation and attributions? using which search resources?
- what is the estimated coverage of these methods? Could come from Sarah's project results.
- how many datapoints do you expect?
- what stats will you run? what is your statistical power?
- what do you plan to have complete by June 30th?
- plans for integration with other intern work?
- plans for integration/parallel analysis with Heather's NCBI GEO work?
- I'll flush out some background info and this and provide links... feel free to ask in the meantime
