I appreciate the importance of annotation and social annotation as a part of the research process.

Megan Cossey<br> Tips for fact checking your writing:<br> * Verify every fact, no matter how insignificant.<br> * Find out which sources are regarded the most highly in the field you are writing about.<br> * If you can't verify it, delete it.

• When it involves a person, email them the facts in question, and ask them whether they are correct.
• Don't rely on Wikipedia articles alone, but the references used there may help.
• http://www.census.gov
• CIA World Factbook
• UNDP Human Development Indicators<br> Rankings of countries by various statistics.
• UN maps
• US Securities and Exchange Commission<br> Form 10K, audited annual reports of public companies. Publicly traded companies will also have an annual report to shareholders on their site.
• http://www.forbes.com/largest-private-companies/<br> Forbes does research on private companies.
• http://www.politifact.com/<br> Fact checking of political news.
• http://quoteinvestigator.com/<br> Blog that traces the origins of quotations.
• http://snopes.com<br> Internet rumors, photos, urban legends and such.

• consider whether or not to lower-case the M in "Making." (I should probably ask an experienced copywriter or professional editor, actually... There is probably a "one right answer" in this instance, although I'm not certain.)

• Change it's to its (that is, remove the apostrophe)

The possessive form of "it" is an irregular form of possessive in lacking an apostrophe, probably to avoid confusion with the contraction of "it is."

(This is yet another grammar rule I memorized in public schools. :p)

In direct opposition with the model for most universities, these days. So that may be the fork in the road. But there are more than two paths.

We believe that openness and transparency are core values of science. For a long time, technological obstacles existed preventing transparency from being the norm. With the advent of the internet, however, these obstacles have largely disappeared. The promise of open research can finally be realized, but this will require a cultural change in science. The power to create that change lies in the peer-review process.

We suggest that beginning January 1, 2017, reviewers make open practices a pre-condition for more comprehensive review. This is already in reviewers’ power; to drive the change, all that is needed is for reviewers to collectively agree that the time for change has come.

Good skils for every researcher

We're essentially creating things on purpose that are going to have the ability to make their own decisions, possibly be smarter than us, and also have a chance of malfunctioning... Why?

So if it threatens our understanding of what it means to be human.. is that beneficial to our ongoing research of essentially what makes us humans by constantly pushing our understanding to be deeper? or is harmful and uprooting of the interpersonal/cultural norms we've established?

Interesting method, based on storyboards and interviews.

Very interesting workshop, cross-cultural analysis.

OER Research

Can someone explain to me what this research is for and why they use Argon? I don't understand the way it's explained. I am working on a science project. I am in the 4th grade.

Can someone explain to me why argon is used in these experiments and what they are for? I am working on a science project (I am in the 4th grade). Thank you!

The Impact of Open Textbooks on Secondary Science Learning Outcomes

Pithy, but potentially misleading.

Open Research MOOC

Takeaways:

1. Frequency of (e.g. minor) positive emotions more important than the intensity of positive emotions.

2. Different cultures emphasize different positive emotions e.g serenity in the east vs enthusiasm in the west; as well as sources (e.g. "i'm fitting in!" vs "i'm standing out!").

3. Having lots of connections not as important as having one or two meaningful interactions (confidants).

4. Introverts still benefit from interaction, but need to regain energy by being alone.

5. After reporting on emotions at the end of the day, asking oneself about what 3 longest social interactions of the day were, and how close and in-tune you felt with people, can actually drive positive emotions and measures of health upward.

6. Prioritizing positivity is highly effective.

7. Resonance in emotions while conversing can occur, and also can induce physiological mirroring like oxytocin patterns being similar.

8. Positive emotions give you a big picture and allow for creative thinking, but a neutral or negative state is better for critical analysis. Luckily most normal people use both at different times.

9. Barbara is currently researching if increasing positivity increases the occurrence of other positive behaviors (e.g. fitness, health).

Not necessarily. For many institutions, as long as one of the researchers is affiliated, the data can be deposited

Anyone know the scenario he's citing here?

I'd love to read more.

(I know this is an aside... but maybe it isn't.) Just in case anybody needed a definition of "inquiry," these sentences would do just fine. I know it can seem like too much to ask of youth, but I think we can find ways to help them to find the question they have been asking all of their lives, just like Coates's question here: "unanswerable, which is not to say futile." How different that is from finding a "researchable question."

1. Email address and name fields need to be longer.
2. Is it clear that we need one or more of email and phone?

Do we actually ever need both? If not, we could just ask "How would you like us to contact you?" And then show the relevant field with progressive disclosure.

One users gaze went back up to the 'Select all that apply' text at this point. We were able to ask him about this and he confirmed that he wanted to check whether he was supposed to be selecting multiple options or not.

In this and other research we've observed that some users continue to click on the control rather than the grey box.

We tested an alternate design alongside this one, with larger controls. The users (all high computer confidence) were very slightly faster at clicking the controls (as per Fitts Law).

Equivalent testing on GOV.UK Verify with low confidence users shows the speed difference is much more pronounced.

One user wasn't sure what 'counts' as a device

In eye-tracking 0/4 users looked at this page element.

However, it may have value for users who need to refer to the page via some other channel (eg, over the phone).

Students using an annotation application like hypothes.is can literally map their research on a topic in tagged annotations on sources from across the Internet.

Es wäre an dieser Stelle zu klären, wie sich die Idee der looped research zum Gedanken einer 'looped scholarship' (vgl. Über Digital Humanities, Human Computing und Looped Scholarship. Eine Notiz./ LIBREAS.Tumblr) verhält.
