ORCiD: Improve Your Discoverability in the Research Eco-System

The Smathers Libraries has joined ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), a free service providing researchers a way to connect their work to their names. Having a persistent digital identifier throughout an academic career ensures integration of research workflows, including manuscript and grant submissions as well as publications, and allows researchers to link all professional activities.  An ORCiD identifier can be extremely helpful in addressing author disambiguation (different authors with identical names or authors with name changes) and connecting publications to researchers.

The libraries will be hosting ORCiD-related workshops during the Spring 2017 semester. Topics covered will include:

  • Creating, populating, and linking ORCiD ids to publication platforms
  • ORCiD id synchronization with ResearcherID
  • Adding an ORCiD id to your myUFL profile directory

Please contact Scholarly Communications Librarian Christine Fruin with any questions you have about the ORCiD service.

New Fields in ERIC

ERIC has recently added several new fields to its database that will make it easier for researchers to find relevant studies: links to the Institute of Education Sciences (IES),  identifiers, and author identification numbers.

New Links to IES

The first fields that we introduced were designed to connect ERIC users with additional relevant information available on the IES website. Because ERIC sits on a separate website, we found many ERIC users never visited the IES website and did not take advantage of the high-quality content that is available. So, we added several fields to help connect you to places of interest on the IES website. First, we added links from the ERIC website to each publication page on the IES website. These links will help you find related videos and companion products for IES reports, if they are available. Second, for any work funded by an IES grant, we added a link to the grant abstract. This provides information about the overall body of work funded by the grant and any accompanying publications. Lastly, the What Works Clearinghouse has recently redesigned its website, and one aspect of the redesign is that there are now study pages that provide detailed information on specific studies that the Clearinghouse has reviewed. ERIC is linking to these pages so that our users can benefit from the in-depth, user-friendly information provided by the Clearinghouse.

New “Identifiers”

The second set of new fields was designed to clean up the previous “identifiers” field and make them more useful for searchers.

The identifiers field was a hodgepodge of proper nouns that mainly contained information on laws, tests and measures, and geographic locations. We separated this into three new fields—laws, measures, and location. We also standardized the language that we used to make these a controlled vocabulary that users could filter on. This change will enable you to find all work done in Alabama or any work that used the National Assessment of Educational Progress (for example).

New Author Identification Numbers

The third new field adds links to author’s biosketch pages. It can get confusing when several authors have the same name, and when the same author can publishes under different names. For example, the same individual could publish under “John Young,” “John P. Young,” “J.P. Young,” and “Jack Young.” ERIC does not have the ability to determine if these are all the same people, but we were able to add hyperlinks to those authors that have an Orchid ID or a SciENcv page set up. If these numbers are available when we are indexing the record, we will be able to link to authors’ pages so that users can see the other work they have published. IES is encouraging grantees to use SciencCV, so we expect to see a large increase in the use of these fields.

If you have any questions about the new fields, please contact the ERIC help desk.

Research Spotlight: Kent Crippen

Q & A with Kent Crippen, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the School of Teaching and Learning

What basic questions does your research seek to answer?

My research program embraces the grand challenge of providing an inclusive and robust science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce through the design, development, and evaluation of cyberlearning environments—those providing authentic experiences in STEM through the use of networked learning technologies. Currently, the following overarching questions guide this inquiry:

  • What forms of cyberlearning are effective and transformative for addressing the chronic problem of under-representation of specific populations of people in STEM?
  • How can the use of design in this pursuit inform our understanding of learners, the processes of knowing, learning and teaching, as well as amateur and professional development in both formal and informal STEM education contexts?

In the practice of our research, these questions are focused on compelling practical problems that exist in real-world settings that are complex, enduring, and difficult to solve, like the disproportionately low numbers of females pursuing engineering degrees. This work involves the dual purpose of trying to solve the learning problem(s) while at the same time generating new insights related to the processes of learning and the relationships among the people, tools, and context of the problem. Through our work, we seek to describe how learning occurs in a particular setting (for whom?) and to detail the required environmental characteristics for affecting the desired outcomes (under what conditions?).

What makes your work interesting?

The most interesting parts of my work are the people I collaborate with and the problems we try to address together. Collaboration and mentoring are two core values of my research group and they are reflected in all aspects of our work. Collaboration requires an intimate working relationship and melding of priorities among a diverse team of people, including students, policy makers, and researchers with diverse forms of expertise. Successful research involves communication and negotiation in order to leverage the team’s capacity for addressing the problem in a sustainable way while also affording the opportunity to develop our theoretical understanding of the problem itself.

What are you currently working on?

We are currently engaged with three major projects that are funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, respectively: FOSSIL (DRL-1322725), ChANgE Chem (DUE-124568, 1625378), and CATALySES (SEPA-1R25OD021901-01).

In collaboration with faculty from the Florida Museum of Natural History, FOSSIL is addressing the limited participation by the public in natural history research through a networked community of practice in which amateur and professional paleontologists collaborate in learning, the practice of science, and outreach. We have developed an evidence-based social messaging campaign that is enacted across an ecology of different technologies, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and our own myFOSSIL community site (www.myfossil.org). We are currently investigating activities for amateurs that are situated within the established best practices for paleontology—from planning a field trip to having a specimen included in a museum (both physical and virtual)—including the social spaces where they exist (e.g., face-to-face, virtual, or combination).

Working with colleagues from engineering and chemistry, ChANgE Chem is transforming the general chemistry curriculum for engineering students to a more contextually relevant and engaging experience. This endeavor employs the use of cognitive apprenticeship strategies to develop activities that emulate and make explicit the way engineers think, comprehend, and work. We have re-envisioned the discussion component of the courses (i.e., recitation) with a series of mini-design projects and are currently using our model to transform the laboratory curriculum based upon the Grand Challenges for Engineering.

CATALySES is the continuation of a long-standing collaboration with the UF Center for Pre-Collegiate Education and Training (CPET) on a scientist-teacher partnership model of professional development for secondary teachers. With this current project, we are investigating how the scaffolded process of constructing interactive online materials is mediated by teachers’ classroom experiences and local context to influence the translation of scientist-teacher experiences to their practice.

UFIRST Requires Conflict of Interest Training

The UF Office of Research has announced, effective December 16, 2016, UFIRST will assist in enforcing the 4-year Conflict of Interest (COI) training renewal requirement. The training course is mandatory for all principal investigators and senior research personnel applying for funding with agencies that require compliance with Public Health Services (PHS) regulations.

See the UF Division of Research Compliance webpage for a list of organizations that require compliance with PHS regulations.

When an entry is made in UFIRST for any award or modification with a sponsor applying these regulations, UFIRST will validate that all key personnel have completed the DSR 810 course (Financial Conflict of Interest – Content and Final Assessment) within the last 4 years.

If the training has not been completed or was completed more than 4 years ago, UFIRST will provide an error and will not transition the award to the Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP) to finalize with Contract & Grants.

If you are required to complete the COI training, please click this link to register and complete the DSR 810 course. MyTraining requires that pop-ups are enabled and that you use a supported browser (Internet Explorer or Safari). The training takes about 20 minutes and includes 15 slides and a short quiz at the end.

Please contact compliance@research.ufl.edu if you have any questions.

NCES Announces Additions to Online Dataset Training Modules

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has added six new modules to its Distance Learning Dataset Training (DLDT) system. The DLDT computer-based training module resource is an online, interactive tool that allows users to learn about the wide range of NCES data and use the data for particular purposes such as research, policy, and teaching.

The newest additions to the DLDT program include the following:

• Introduction to the NCES Longitudinal Studies: 1972-2020
• Postsecondary Education Quick Information System (PEQIS)
• Fast Response Survey System (FRSS)
• Introduction to High School Transcript Collections (HSTC)
• Introduction to NCES WebGateways
• Introduction to MapED

Additionally, users may now self-assess their learning by selecting the Check Your Knowledge option at the end of selected training modules.

To help users conduct successful analyses and make appropriate use of NCES data, the DLDT is designed to introduce users to the intricacies of various NCES datasets including their designs, what the data represent, how the data were collected, and specific considerations for analysis.

NCES data are appropriate for use by researchers, students, policy specialists, education professionals, and anyone who is interested in student and school outcomes at all levels. The DLDT is also a teaching tool that can be used by individuals both in and out of the classroom to learn about NCES complex sample survey and administrative data collections and appropriate analysis methods.

There are two types of NCES DLDT modules available: common modules and dataset-specific modules. The common modules help users broadly understand NCES data across the education spectrum, introduce complex sample survey methods, and explain how to acquire NCES micro-data. The dataset-specific modules introduce and educate users about distinct datasets and considerations for analysis.

You can access the DLDT system and learn more about the NCES datasets at http://nces.ed.gov/training/datauser/.

eRA Reminder: Use of Final RPPR Starts Jan. 1, 2017 and Related Changes to IMS

This is a reminder that the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Final Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) is replacing the Final Progress Report (FPR) in eRA Commons effective January 1, 2017.

In addition, related changes have been made to the Inclusion Management System (IMS).

For more details on Final RPPR, please see the November 23rd Notification.

Changes to the Inclusion Data Reports in IMS

The “last budget period” Inclusion Data Records (IDRs) will be replaced with “final” IDRs. If IDRs already exist, final IDRs will now be automatically created by the system for the last support year of each competitive segment.

Users will be able to edit existing final IDRs.  If additional IDRs need to be created, users can create them using the existing method.

Once the grant is closed, this ability to create or edit IDRs will no longer be available. The Manage Inclusion Data Records (IDRs) screen in IMS will display a “Grant Closed” message. At that point, users will be able to only view final IDRs.

Accessing IDRs for the Final RPPR is the same process as for annual RPPRs. When the Final RPPR is initiated, users will go to Section G.4.b and click on the Inclusion link. This action takes you to the Inclusion Manage Inclusion Data Records (IDRs) screen.

For details, including screenshots, please see the latest updates in the IMS Online Help.

For more information, see Guide Notice NOT-OD-17-022. You can also visit the NIH RPPR web page, and check out November’s eRA Items of Interest article Please Call it “Final RPPR.”

Questions?

Please contact the eRA Service Desk. Check out self-help resources on the Help page before submitting an online ticket; or call Toll-free: 1-866-504-9552, Phone: 301-402-7469. The Service Desk hours are Mon-Fri, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET
