Nota toekomst Nederlandse infrastructuur voor auteursidentifiers

De Digital Author Identifier (DAI) is het unieke nummer voor Nederlandse wetenschappelijke auteurs. Dit nummer is in 2005 als onderdeel van het SURF DARE programma ontwikkeld en sindsdien in gebruik bij alle Nederlandse universiteiten en een aantal onderzoeksinstituten. Door de Nederlandse focus van dit systeem is de DAI volgens velen van beperkte waarde binnen het internationaal karakter van de wetenschap. Anno 2014 is er een aantal ontwikkelingen dat van invloed is op keuzes in de ontwikkeling van deze nationale infrastructuur. Dit document beschrijft de achtergrond van auteurs identifiers, de opzet van de Nederlandse DAI infrastructuur en de ontwikkeling van twee internationale standaarden. Tot slot worden enkele relevante ontwikkelingen in de nationale context waarna er een aantal conclusies en aanbevelingen voor vervolg gedaan wordt.Related to: Case Study Adoption of the DAI in the Netherlands and subsequent superseding by ORCID/ISNI DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.732750

Cultivating reflexive research practice when using participants’ photographs as research data

This chapter reflects on a study exploring the development of a feminist consciousness. During the interviews participants were invited to share photographs that were significant to their feminist becoming. Various ethical and methodological challenges arose through the use of visual data, in particular the ethics of the interpretation and dissemination of participants’ personal photographs. Both issues were highlighted and addressed through reflexive research practice, which exposed how the researcher’s reaction to and feelings about the photographs impacted upon how they were interpreted and shared. Reflexivity demands that researchers interrogate their research choices and is essential for ethical and rigorous research. This chapter argues that visual methods, whilst posing new ethical challenges, can enhance the reflexive research practice necessary for responding to and navigating its challenges

Twenty-three unsolved problems in hydrology (UPH) – a community perspective

This paper is the outcome of a community initiative to identify major unsolved scientific problems in hydrology motivated by a need for stronger harmonisation of research efforts. The procedure involved a public consultation through on-line media, followed by two workshops through which a large number of potential science questions were collated, prioritised, and synthesised. In spite of the diversity of the participants (230 scientists in total), the process revealed much about community priorities and the state of our science: a preference for continuity in research questions rather than radical departures or redirections from past and current work. Questions remain focussed on process-based understanding of hydrological variability and causality at all space and time scales. Increased attention to environmental change drives a new emphasis on understanding how change propagates across interfaces within the hydrological system and across disciplinary boundaries. In particular, the expansion of the human footprint raises a new set of questions related to human interactions with nature and water cycle feedbacks in the context of complex water management problems. We hope that this reflection and synthesis of the 23 unsolved problems in hydrology will help guide research efforts for some years to come
