    1. In a world where labs become sustainable by spinning out products, researchers need some way to de-risk their initial work, when they won’t have any new products or technologies to sell. I think this is an effective place for open-ended research grant programs.

      This is a lovely idea, but it feels like it's just kicking the can down the road. Who's funding these grants? Where do those monies come from? That's the real problem.

    2. One of my greatest concerns about this field today is that almost all of the problem discovery happens by a kind of self-interested navel-gazing process, where product builders take the quote “build things you would want to use” a little too literally, and build products for the small niche group of people interested in note-taking tools and processes. This leads to products that seem useful to a small group of other people who are also working in this space and familiar with its vernacular and concepts, but are unusable or unapproachable by most people outside of that small community. I think this is a dangerous failure mode.

      The level of complexity to using some of these tools is also a huge hurdle for the everyday user as well. Some require deep knowledge of the tool along with coding ability as well.

      Perhaps this complexity barrier will come down over time, but some projects don't seem to be working toward making things easier and simpler for the end user.

    3. I think this new identity should… build upon a diverse group of people and ideas remember, but not revere, past research and tradition welcome independent contributors, and view itself as a collective of people, not an industry of companies work in the open, and value building and testing ideas over spreading them.

      From the jump, I can't help but think that it sounds like he's looking for a niche within the IndieWeb space.

      1. Placcius 1689, p. 72.

      Vincentius Placcius in De Arte Excerpendi: Of Scholarly Book Organization (1689) offers a contemporary set of instructions on excerpting knowledge as well as a history of the subject.

      In the book, he warns specifically against the loose form of indexing exhibited by Joachim Jungius. (p72)

    2. It is an important fact that the Bibliotheca Universalis addresses a dual audience with this technology of indexing: on the one hand, it aims at librarians with its extensive and far-reaching bibliography; on the other hand, it goes to didactic lengths to instruct young scholars in the proper organization of their studies, that is, keeping excerpted material in useful order. In this dual aim, the Bibliotheca Universalis unites a scholar ’ s com-munication with library technology, before these directions eventually branch out into the activity of library professionals on the one hand and the private and discreet practices of scholarship on the other hand

      Konrad Gessner's Bibliotheca Universalis has two audiences: librarians for it's extensive bibliography and scholars for the instruction of how to properly organize their studies by excerpting material and keeping it in a useful order.

      All imaging studies face questions of validity and should (and many do) link to comprehensive details on instrumentation, methodology, and interpretation. Apparently, the professional consensus remains that, properly executed and interpreted, fMRI and other functional imaging techniques based on detection of oxygenation can lead to highly valid conclusions.

    2. t interweaves the three strands which build staff (through research) – students (through the T&L) – and the community (through both).

      the 3 strands

    3. Teaching in a University is different, we use the same word in primary school, secondary school, TAFE, Teachers Colleges, CAEs etc but it is not the same. One of the major differences is of course the extent to which it (the teaching) is interwoven with research and our research principles.

      teaching in univ is diff >> interwoven with research

    4. I believe that this concern with Research Culture is due to broader effects that are manifestations brought about, by and large, by the extraordinary commoditisation of Higher Education in general.

      research culture >> broad effects

    5. This type of academic activity is vital to our research (and not only to the research); it is something that I will be pursuing.

      mentoring is vital

    6. A good mentoring program promotes understanding of the culture of the University and helps staff adjust to new or changing roles and situations.

      mentoring program >> bukan hanya masalah luaran dan metrik

    7. I believe that until we understand what a research culture is and why it is important, that

      intertwined teaching and research >> homogeneous research culture.

    8. We will no longer discuss research; we will be too busy doing it – and talks such as this, will no longer be necessary.

      terlalu banyak meriset >> tuntutan luaran >> jarang diperbincangkan

    9. the moment we stand still, that is fail to keep learning, fail to keep cultivating, our knowledge and experience falls behind the status quo.

      fails to cultivate >> stand still in the moment >> stagnant >> status quo

    10. Most general, the term culture denotes whole product of an individual, group or society of intelligent beings. It includes technology, art, science, as well as moral systems and characteristic behaviours and habits of the selected intelligent entities.

      culture >> tech, art, science, moral systems, etc

    11. Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate"),

      to cultivate >> menumbuhkan >> membudidayakan >> tanpa perintah >> tanpa insentif?

    12. The essential characteristic of research activity is that it leads to publicly verifiable outcomes which are open to peer appraisal.

      publicly verifiable outcomes >> how can we do that?

      and open for appraisal >> how?

    13. Research and experimental development comprises creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man (sic), culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications.

      systematic basis >> creative work >> increase the stock of knowledge >> new applications

    14. The final strand is knowledge transfer. It encompasses many dimensions of interaction between academia

      tahap berikutnya adalah transfer pengetahuan kepada masyarakat yang lebih luas.

    15. The second strand is Learning and Teaching. It explicates a body of ideas, is informed by available research, and instils habits of inquiry that reflect the provisional nature of knowledge

    4. the metric oversimplification of scholarly achievement distracts academics and institutions

      metric oversimplification >> distractions

    5. Rather, it is due to a growing reliance on proxy measures of research quality in the management of recruitment, promotion, tenure and funding decisions: these proxy measures are widely used because they are convenient, not because they are meaningful. The pursuit of a higher ranking in league tables for universities has also contributed to the problem.

      proxy measures >> convenient but not meaningful

    6. Ghent University in Belgium made headlines in 2019 when it announced a new policy for evaluating faculty that marked a shift away from the 'rat race' of metrics and rankings towards more holistic processes focused on valuing and nurturing talent

    1. I also did a bit of web and JSTOR research, and started a new Zotero folder called World History Comparison. Research Rabbit found a bunch of similar titles, but it will be a while before I can get to many of them. I DID, however, ask some people and groups such as the OE Global community on Twitter, and I want to extend that request to anyone who watches this video. I know a number of my subs and viewers are in India and I've noticed on Twitter and on Abhijit Chavda's channel that there's quite a bit of controversy about the way Indian History is taught to Indian students.

      Methods for attacking a research problem about history used here:

      • Web research
      • Journal database research
      • Zotero reference manager stub
      • Research Rabbit (AI search)
      • Reach out on various social media channels

      Not mentioned, but perhaps useful:

      • Standard library search (WorldCat)
      • Internet Archive search (scanned historical textbooks)
      • Off-label and dark web services (Library Genesis, Pirate Bay, etc.)
      • Open access and OER sources (this will probably find newer perspectives and newer texts which sometimes have philosophical outlines of what they're trying to change for the future versus the pedagogies of the past)
      • Current curricula and recommended textbooks at major universities on particular books and potential comparisons to those of the past (perhaps via Internet Archive).

    1. Because claims and grounds can only be distinguished by their role in an argument, they cannot be recognized simply by looking at the asser- tions themselves.

      This is not easy to understand.

    2. , in its most basic form an argu- ment presents grounds intended to support a claim.

      This is very clear. An argument presents grounds intended to support a claim.

    3. it is instructive to return to definition 5. The purpose of an argu- ment is to persuade. When located in the context of practical reasoning, an argument works by showing that if an audience believes the statements that are adduced as grounds, then they ought also to accept (or at least give serious consideration to) the claim. S

      The purpose of an argument is to persuade

    4. Note the arrow pointing from the grounds to the claim. This symbol is highly significant. It suggests that an argument must go somewhere. It is not the mere assertion of a group of statements, but an invitation to the reader or listener to move from one position (acceptance of the grounds) to another (acceptance of the claim).

      An argument must go somewhere, as in it must take the reader from one position to another.

    5. he second of the two most basic parts of an argument is the grounds that are put forward to support the claim. Grounds for arguments can vary widely; definition 4 above suggests ‘facts’ and ‘reasons’ as near synonyms; we could add still others, such as ‘data’ and ‘supporting evidence.’

      What are grounds?

    6. he position or point for which one supplies reasons in an argument is called the claim. Claims can be about anything, but they all share the form of an assertion—that is, they all must say something about something.

      What are claims?

    7. second reason for remembering the distinction between theology and religion is that these are self-involving subjects—subjects wherein the claims we make have a deep impact on our lives. This fact sometimes makes clear thinking more difficult, but it helps to bear in mind that criticism of a theological argument is not necessarily an attack on the religious beliefs of the person who made the argument.

      The claims of theology and religion are ones which have a deep impact in our lives.

    8. Despite the difficulties, I believe this is an important distinction to keep in mind for at least two reasons. First, the purpose of religion is much different from the purpose of theology. In the case of Christianity, the purpose of religion as a whole is worship and service of God; the purpose of theology is shaped by its character as an academic discipline. While most Christians hope that their beliefs, such as about God or salvation, are held rationally, this is not the first criterion one thinks of in evaluating the Christian religion. Theology, however, aims at rational reflection on the phenomena and beliefs of the religion and therefore rational criteria are of the highest importance. Among the criteria for rational reflection are the demands of good reasoning. So this book could more accurately be titled Reasoning in Theology, but that isn’t as catchy.

      The reasoning of theology. This is not the purpose of religion which is the worship and service of God

    9. This is an appropriate point at which to make another terminological distinction—between ‘theology’ and ‘religion.’ As used here, ‘religion’ will refer to a broad cultural phenomenon that generally involves worship, moral practices, and beliefs. Theology is an academic discipline that (among other things) reflects in a sustained way on the worship, morals, and be- liefs of a religious community.

      The difference between theology and religion

    10. A debate or discussion involving different points of view (definition 2) may or may not involve arguments in the sense intended here: an oral disagreement or altercation (definition 1) generally does not involve argument in this sense, since it seems to bring out the worst of people’s reasoning abilities.

      What an argument is all about

    11. An argument is a process of reasoning or a series of reasons used to support a point. The ‘point’ being supported we shall here call a claim.

An address or composition intended to convince or persuade; per- suasive discourse

    1. Toulmin's model reminds us that arguments are generally expressed with qualifiers and rebuttals rather than

      Toulmin model is useful for analysing arguments.

    3. n argument written in this manner unfolds to reveal both the strengths and limits of the argument. This is as it should be. No argument should pretend to be stronger than it is or apply further than it is meant to. The point here isn't to "win" or "beat" all the counter-arguments; the point is to come as close to the truth or as close to a realistic and feasible solution as we possibly can.

      What is an argument?

    4. The twentieth-century British philosopher Stephen Toulmin noticed that good, realistic arguments typically will consist of six parts. He used these terms to describe the items. Data: The facts or evidence used to prove the argument Claim: The statement being argued (a thesis) Warrants: The general, hypothetical (and often implicit) logical statements that serve as bridges between the claim and the data. Qualifiers: Statements that limit the strength of the argument or statements that propose the conditions under which the argument is true. Rebuttals: Counter-arguments or statements indicating circumstances when the general argument does not hold true. Backing: Statements that serve to support the warrants (i.e., arguments that don't necessarily prove the main point being argued, but which do prove the warrants are true.)

      This is called the Toulmin model of argument

    1. The analysis that I present is applicable to all branches of science whose models are based on continuous mathematics, such as algebraic, differential, or integral equations.

    1. Sounds like Dave Winer is tinkering around getting Little Outliner to work with Roam or Roam like structures? He certainly might have some useful ideas for Flancian in terms of cobbling together all these note taking / wiki-like platforms.

      Great overview of a literature review with some useful looking links to more specifics on note taking methods.

      Most of the newer note taking tools like Roam Research, Obsidian, etc. were not available or out when she wrote this. I'm curious how these may have changed or modified her perspective versus some of the other catch-as-catch-can methods with pen/paper/index cards/digital apps?

      A description of some of Kimiberly Hirsh's workflow in keeping a public research notebook (or commonplace book).

      I'd be curious to know what type of readership and response she's gotten from this work in the past. For some it'll bet it's possibly too niche for a lot of direct feedback, but some pieces may be more interesting than others.

      Did it help her organize her thoughts and reuse the material later on?

    1. The foregoing studies suggest two strands of commonplacing circa 1700. The first was thecollection of authoritative knowledge, usually in the form of quotations. The second was thecollection of personal or natural knowledge, with Francis Bacon’s lists, desiderata and apho-risms serving as early examples. While Moss has shown that the first strand was losing popular-ity by the 1680s, recent scholarship has shown that the second retained momentum through theeighteenth century,9especially in scientific dictionaries,10instructional cards,11catalogues,12

      loose-leaf manuscripts,13syllabi14and, most especially, notebooks.15

      There are two strands of commonplacing around 1700: one is the traditional collection of authoritative knowledge while the second was an emergent collection of more personal knowledge and exploration.

    1. Lately, metrics related to social usage and online comment have gained momentum — F1000Prime was established in 2002, Mendeley in 2008, and Altmetric.com (supported by Macmillan Science and Education, which owns Nature Publishing Group) in 2011.

      See altmetrics.

    1. One might weU see a further example of this process in the incorporation into Alsted's Consiliarius académicas et schohsticus (1610) of a category of random, day-to-day observations and reading notes ("ephemerides" or "diaria").

      Is this similar to the mixing of a daily journal page with note taking seen in systems like Roam Research and the way some use Obsidian?

    1. There's apparently a product that will turn one's Roam Research notes into a digital garden.

      Great to see a bridge for making these things easier for the masses, but I have to think that there's a better and cheaper way. Perhaps some addition competition in the space will help bring the price down.
