Investigation as a member of research discourse Vasily Bunakov - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation
Investigation as a member of research discourse Vasily Bunakov Science and Technology Facilities Council United Kingdom Digital Libraries: Advanced Methods and Technologies, Digital Collections. Dubna, Russia, October 16, 2014 STFC Funds and
Scientific Computing develops and
also conducts applied research and does software development Funds and operates large scale instruments for the UK and visitor researchers in:
Diamond Light Source ISIS neutron and muon source Central Laser Facility
PaNdata Europe 2010 – 2011 Preparation: common policies and standards http://pan-data.eu/pandata/?q=PaNdataEurope PaNdata ODI 2011 – 2014 Implementation: delivering new infrastructure http://pan-data.eu/pandata/?q=ODIWP
STFC Scientific Computing supports each stage in the work of researchers from background research through conducting simulations and experiments, to analysing and archiving data.

Proposal Approval Scheduling Experiment Data storage Record Publication
Scientist submits application for beamtime Facility committee approves application Facility registers, trains, and schedules scientist’s visit Scientists visits, facility run’s experiment Subsequent publication registered with facility Raw data filtered, and stored

No Feature / aspect Publication Investigation 1 Is an intellectual entity V V 2 Is a subject of peer review V V (via proposal approval) 3 Can cite all significant intellectual entities of a research discourse V V 4 Citation chains (steps of discourse) observed V V 5 Universal identifiers “mints” available V V This gives Investigation a potential for a “full membership” in the research discourse along with Publication. Datasets and software are likely to remain “associated members” because of weaker features 2, 3 and a de-facto weaker feature 5.
