Historical Information Science is an extensive review and bibliographic essay, backed by almost 6,000 citations, detailing developments in information technology since the advent of personal computers and the convergence of several social science and humanities disciplines in historical computing. Its focus is on the access, preservation, and analysis of historical information (primarily in electronic form) and the relationships between new methodology and instructional media, techniques, and research trends in library special collections, digital libraries, data archives, and museums.

Science and technology are embedded in virtually every aspect of modern life. As a result, people face an increasing need to integrate information from science with their personal values and other considerations as they make important life decisions about medical care, the safety of foods, what to do about climate change, and many other issues. Communicating science effectively, however, is a complex task and an acquired skill. Moreover, the approaches to communicating science that will be most effective for specific audiences and circumstances are not obvious. Fortunately, there is an expanding science base from diverse disciplines that can support science communicators in making these determinations. Communicating Science Effectively offers a research agenda for science communicators and researchers seeking to apply this research and fill gaps in knowledge about how to communicate effectively about science, focusing in particular on issues that are contentious in the public sphere. To inform this research agenda, this publication identifies important influences â€" psychological, economic, political, social, cultural, and media-related â€" on how science related to such issues is understood, perceived, and used.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems, OOIS 2003, held in Geneva, Switzerland in September 2003. The 29 revised full papers and 11 revised short papers presented together with an invited paper and abstracts of 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 80 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on evolution of OOIS, OOIS frameworks, patterns and components, object-oriented databases, XML on Web aspects, evolution, object-oriented design and architecture, and modeling of information systems.

One of the pathways by which the scientific community confirms the validity of a new scientific discovery is by repeating the research that produced it. When a scientific effort fails to independently confirm the computations or results of a previous study, some fear that it may be a symptom of a lack of rigor in science, while others argue that such an observed inconsistency can be an important precursor to new discovery. Concerns about reproducibility and replicability have been expressed in both scientific and popular media. As these concerns came to light, Congress requested that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conduct a study to assess the extent of issues related to reproducibility and replicability and to offer recommendations for improving rigor and transparency in scientific research. Reproducibility and Replicability in Science defines reproducibility and replicability and examines the factors that may lead to non-reproducibility and non-replicability in research. Unlike the typical expectation of reproducibility between two computations, expectations about replicability are more nuanced, and in some cases a lack of replicability can aid the process of scientific discovery. This report provides recommendations to researchers, academic institutions, journals, and funders on steps they can take to improve reproducibility and replicability in science.

Práce se skládá ze sedmi studií. Každá studie tvoří uzavřený systém, ve kterém je argumentováno pro určité závěry, a je proto možné číst každou studii zvlášť. Dohromady však studie tvoří jednotný celek, který představuje jistou koncepci informační vědy. Veškerá argumentace pro toto pojetí je vystavěna na specifickém chápání stěžejního pojmu informační vědy, pojmu informace, který je konfrontován s několika pojmy příbuznými, s určitým metodologickým přístupem a různými problematickými otázkami. Četbou práce získáváme odpovědi na konkrétní otázky, které jsou řešeny v rámci jednotlivých studií, ale také na otázky, které úzký rámec jednotlivých studií přesahují a získávají svůj význam teprve ve chvíli, kdy promýšlíme práci jako celek. Můžeme říci, že práce představuje poměrně komplexní obraz velmi obecných filosoficko-informačněvědních otázek spojených s fenoménem informace.

Convergence of the life sciences with fields including physical, chemical, mathematical, computational, engineering, and social sciences is a key strategy to tackle complex challenges and achieve new and innovative solutions. However, institutions face a lack of guidance on how to establish effective programs, what challenges they are likely to encounter, and what strategies other organizations have used to address the issues that arise. This advice is needed to harness the excitement generated by the concept of convergence and channel it into the policies, structures, and networks that will enable it to realize its goals. Convergence investigates examples of organizations that have established mechanisms to support convergent research. This report discusses details of current programs, how organizations have chosen to measure success, and what has worked and not worked in varied settings. The report summarizes the lessons learned and provides organizations with strategies to tackle practical needs and implementation challenges in areas such as infrastructure, student education and training, faculty advancement, and inter-institutional partnerships.
