Die Tage werden immer kürzer und das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende – und was für ein Jahr das war! Irgendwie war vieles nicht „normal“ oder aber es ist das neue „Normal“. Aber auch in der DINI AG Forschungsinformationssysteme haben wir in diesem Jahr einiges normal umsetzen können und haben auch vieles neues gemacht, was in Zukunft sicher auch normaler für uns wird.

Our lab is growing! In our Three Questions series, we’re profiling each of our members and the amazing work they’re doing. Today, we’re highlighting Isabella Peters, a new research associate at the ScholCommLab and a professor of Web Science at the ZBW Leibniz Information Centre for Economics and CAU Kiel University.

Katrin Frisch In class we were reading John Milton’s ‘On Education’, a treatise in which the poet laid out his ideas on an ideal education. After many years of theoretical learning, the students – so Milton argued – should head into the world to learn about different cultures, but ultimately to realise the superiority of their own.

Science thrives on an open exchange of arguments and a plurality of perspectives. Scientific discussions should be open, frank and blind: only arguments should matter, not who presents them. Different viewpoints strengthen the scientific debate, and the inclusion of women and minorities in science will only contribute to this. Understanding the role of gender in science is crucial for improving the representation of women.

Our lab is growing! In our Three Questions series, we’re profiling each of our members and the amazing work they’re doing. Today, we’re highlighting Lina Marie Harper: a master’s student in Information Science at the University of Ottawa, a researcher at the ScholCommLab, and the proud owner of a “chiweenie” (part Dachshund, part Chihuahua). In this post, she tells us about the joys of open data, graduate school, true crime, and more.

RRI & OS: two co-existing sets of ambitions Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and Open Science (OS) are two co-existing sets of ambitions concerning systemic change in the research and innovation (R&I) system. Initially, RRI and OS may appear to align well.

Ende 2019 sind wir mit dem guten Vorsatz ins Jahr 2020 gestartet, pro Jahr ein „Produkt“ durch die DINI AG Elektronisches Publizieren „herauszubringen“. Wie das mit guten Vorsätzen so ist, kann man sich rückblickend immer eine Ausrede nehmen, denn was war das für ein Jahr 2020? Nein, wir werden das C-Wort weder in den Mund nehmen, noch als Rechtfertigung verwenden.

Our lab is growing! In our Three Questions series, we’re profiling each of our members and the amazing work they’re doing. Today, we’re highlighting Anton Ninkov, a recent graduate of Western University’s PhD in Library and Information Science program and the ScholCommLab’s newest postdoctoral fellow. In this post, he tells us more about what he’s up to inside and outside of the lab.
