The survey has been launched and data is starting to come in. So far, it looks really interesting to see what types of metadata and metadata registries that scientists are using. Looking forward to see how many results we get and what we can make from those results!
So we’ve received IRB approval and we’re working on the final survey tweaks. I’m sending out the survey for a final round of pilot testing and hope to launch the survey by early next week. We’re casting a wide net on this survey to get as many perspectives as possible Continue reading IRB, final survey edits & purpose
This week, I’ve spent most of the week working on the narrative and finalizing the survey questionnaire. Through the questionnaire, we’re really trying to get at the essence of what makes a metadata registry successful and what are the limitations, and the needs of the scientific community. The IRB has Continue reading Narrative, survey development, and analyzing of existing registries
This week, I’ve been looking at metadata registries, coming with up a solid list of registries to evaluate and thinking about the best ways to evaluate them. While there is plenty of literature that evaluates metadata quality, so far, in the literature I have not seen any studies that specifically Continue reading Evaluation of Metadata Registires
Project Activities: Preparing IRB & begin to prepare pilot research Development opportunities for the intern: Will provide the intern the opportunity to complete an IRB, and further refine research approach. Will provide experience in running a pilot study, and seeing the value of this approach. Additionally, the pilot preparation will Continue reading Weeks 4 & 5
For the last few weeks, I have been continuing to read and organizing the literature, began drafting the IRB, and research proposal. In order to share literature, resources, and get feedback, we’ve set up a dropbox folder and an excel spreadsheet of the various literature I’ve been reading to set Continue reading Organization of Literature & Drafting of IRB
This week I will be giving a brief presentation at the LOV Symposium in Madrid, Spain at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (http://www.uc3m.es) regarding my DataONE research on metadata registries. This will be part of the student lightening talks The focus of the symposium is to have “a day Continue reading LOV SYMPOSIUM: LINKING AND OPENING VOCABULARIES
Hi Everyone, Here’s what I will be working on for the upcoming week. Hopefully I will be able to have a good research proposal and IRB structured for by the end of next week. Week 3 (Jun 18th – Jun 22nd) Project Activities: Continue week 2 activities, refining questions, methods, Continue reading Week 3 – Continuation of weeks 1 and 2
Hi Everyone, For the last week, I’ve been continuing the research activities from week one and began to structure my reading to make progress towards a more formal literature review and research proposal. Here are my weekly activities as outlined in my mentor plan. Hope you all had a great Continue reading Week 2 – Research Proposal
Hi everyone! Here are my activities for Week One. Mostly I’ve been working on some background reading in order to structure the rest of the summer. The outline from my mentor plan is below. Hope everyone else activities are going well! Angela Week 1 (Jun 4th – Jun 8th) Project Continue reading Week 1 – High Level Background Research
