INTERACT Field Guide to Data Repositories

The Arctic is a key region for understanding global climate change. Thus, access to data collected at INTERACT research stations is crucial for the global research community. Providing access to collected data is one major obligation for projects funded by the European Union, like the Horizon 2020 project INTERACT. Therefore, data collected at INTERACT stations need to be made accessible for the public. INTERACT promotes free and open access to data in line with the European Open Research Data Pilot OpenAIRE. This field guide to data management and data repositories provides information about data management principles and their implementation in the workflow, preparation and maintenance of data for efficient discovery and reuse, as well as some guidance on how to choose an appropriate data repository for data preservation and publication in order to comply to the INTERACT open access principles

Informal Helping Networks and Social Service Changes: A Community Perspective

Interviews with 112 household respondents and 58 social service agency directors in three ethnically and racially distinct Chicago neighborhoods provided a comprehensive assessment of -- household helping relationships in a community context. Reliance on informal helping greatly exceeded use of formal agencies at the household level. Households were twice as likely to give help as receive it in a complex variety of ways, while agencies struggled to add new functional programs in a time of retrenchment. What households gave and got did not overlap with agency programs in any coherent way. Further, household respondents and agency directors disagreed in their perceptions of community needs. Households wanted employment and general city services, while agency officials emphasized human services. In effect, efforts to tie formal and informal helping relationships together at a community scale will have to respect the complexity and reciprocity of informal helping by reformulating how the needy are identified, emphasizing reciprocity versus expertise in helping and expanding what presently count as program needs to include a wider range of services

The Invisible Scholar: Authors of Legal Scholarship in Criminology and Criminal Justice Journals

This study assesses the authorship of legal scholarship within 20 criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) journals from 2005 through 2015, examining trends over time and variation across journals in the prevalence of sole-authorship and the mean number of authors and identifying the most prolific authors of legal scholarship published in CCJ journals. The study thus sheds light on the extent of collaboration among CCJ legal scholars and identifies CCJ legal scholars who have remained largely invisible due to their focus on a marginalized subfield

The current status of advanced legal research instruction: A survey of ABA-Accredited Law Schools

The teaching of advanced legal research courses for second and third year law students is a relatively new phenomenon in the curriculum of American law schools. With the increasing complexity of legal research skills required in the field, the proliferation of research materials and the apparent lack of research skills on the part of recent law school graduates, the advanced legal research course is an important part of the law students' education. This paper describes the results of a current survey of all American Bar Association approved law schools regarding advanced legal research instruction. The paper analyzes whether more such courses are being offered and whether there is uniformity in the course structure and course methodology. Variations based on the size of the student body, the number of professional law librarians and the law school ranking are addressed. In conclusion, recommended tools for assisting course instructors are discussed

Persona Non Grata: The Marginalization of Legal Scholarship in Criminology and Criminal Justice Journals

Recently, concern has been voiced within the academy regarding the marginalization of legal scholarship within the criminology and criminal justice (CCJ) discipline. Although conventional wisdom and anecdotal evidence indicate that it is difficult to get legal scholarship published in CCJ journals, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on the representation of legal scholarship in CCJ journals. The present study assesses the representation of legal scholarship in 20 CCJ journals from 2005 through 2015, examining both trends over time and variation across journals. Findings indicate legal scholarship comprises a very small portion of articles published, there has been a steep decline in the number of legal articles published in recent years and the average number of legal articles per year is very low for nearly all of the journals in the sample. The implications of the marginalization of legal scholarship within the CCJ discipline are discussed
