🌟 New Publication Alert 🌟 Excited to share that our latest research, co-authored by Miché Ouédraogo, Ph.D and myself, has been published in the prestigious American Journal of Evaluation. Our paper, "Streamlining Complex Intervention Evaluation Through Participatory Systems Mapping and Contribution Analysis: A Comprehensive Framework for Actionable Complexity Evaluation," introduces a systems-thinking approach to evaluating complex interventions. Version francaise Ravi et honoré d'annoncer la publication de notre dernier article scientifique, co-rédigé avec le Miché Ouédraogo, Ph.D, dans le prestigieux American Journal of Evaluation. Intitulé « Streamlining Complex Intervention Evaluation Through Participatory Systems Mapping and Contribution Analysis: A Comprehensive Framework for Actionable Complexity Evaluation », cet article propose une approche systémique novatrice pour l'évaluation des interventions complexes. #Evaluation #Research #ComplexInterventions #ParticipatoryEvaluation #SystemsMapping #AmericanJournalofEvaluation

In the first Research Further webinar, we’ll explore the process of establishing research groups within local FE communities. Three Research Further scholars will share their experiences of establishing research groups, reflecting on what has worked well and what challenges they’ve faced.

An exceptional team of #SSH experts delivering an impactful outcome for the #EuropeanResearchAgenda on transport and mobility, moving us towards more #sociotechnical approaches! Thank you, Transport Reviews! “This paper was published in the fourth issue of 2023 (volume 43, issue 4) and was an outstanding contribution to the journal as it provides a novel research agenda consisting of 8 themes and 100 research questions that may contribute to achieving environmentally sustainable mobility transitions. Their research agenda highlights the need to not only support technological solutions for low-carbon mobility, but the importance of transformative policies that include new processes of knowledge production, civic participation and epistemic justice. This paper has already received a lot of attention (with more than 7,000 views and 15 citations in less than 12 months) and is likely to be an important document for researchers working on various transport topics in the coming years”

Pleased to see this out with Dersu Ekim Tanca. I want to thank Daniel Béland, Philip Rocco, Iris Geva-May, and other participants of the JCPA workshop – Territorial Governance & Comparative Policy Analysis at the Subnational Level. Check out the special issue of The Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis on Territorial Governance & Comparative Policy Analysis at the Subnational Level. Abstract: "As social scientists take space seriously and engage in systematic comparisons of subnational entities within and across nations, there is a need to systematically ground comparative policy analyses (CPA) within this research program. But, when it comes to research design concerns, what are the implications of this cross-fertilization? By drawing on the literatures on the subnational research tradition and the comparative method, and connecting them to CPA, this paper addresses key practical, analytical, methodological, and data concerns in instances in which qualitative comparisons of two or more cases (i.e. small-N) are employed and subnational levels are the main units of analysis. To scale down the comparative method and apply it to subnational policy analyses, the paper provides guidance on how to design and conduct comparative subnational research within or across countries, including key lessons, best practices, and data resources." https://lnkd.in/e37-cqQg

On behalf of the ASIS&T EU Chapter, I am pleased to share that we are hosting an online celebration event for the inaugural Best European Paper and Best EU Student Paper Awards on 20th May, 2024, 14:00 - 15:30 UK time (or 9:00 - 10:30 AM, EDT), on Zoom. This event aims to celebrate the winning papers, and also provide a platform for showcasing the outstanding papers nominated for the awards, and the diverse research from Europe. This event will be chaired by an eminent information scientist, Professor Mike Thelwall. Presenting authors include Prof. Jutta Haider, Dr. Stephann Makri, Corina Zappia, Prof. Isto Huvila, and Dr. Muhammet Damar.

🌞 Last week I had the pleasure to present Malte Rödl's and my paper "Google Search and the creation of ignorance: The case of the climate crisis" at an event organised by Dr Yuhua Wang for the European chapter of ASIS&T. It was such an honour that our paper got the Best European Paper Award and it was an even greater honour to have presented with other award winning papers. All showing the breadth and originality of European Information Science research. Thank you for organising!! 🔗 Links to all award-winning papers are in the comments! 📌 But here is the abstract for our article, that was published in Big Data & Society (Sage), as part of our work in Mistra Environmental Communication: The article examines the relationship between commercial search engines, using Google Search as an example, and various forms of ignorance related to climate change. It draws on concepts from the field of agnotology to explore how environmental ignorances, and specifically related to the climate crisis, are shaped at the intersection of the logics of Google Search, everyday life and civil society/politics. Ignorance refers to a multi-facetted understanding of the culturally contingent ways in which something may not be known. Two research questions are addressed: How are environmental ignorances, and in particular related to the climate crisis, shaped at the intersection of the logics of Google Search, everyday life and civil society/politics? In what ways can we conceptualise Google's role as configured into the creation of ignorances? The argument is made through four vignettes, each of which explores and illustrates how Google Search is configured into a different kind of socially produced ignorance: (1) Ignorance through information avoidance: climate anxiety; (2) Ignorance through selective choice: gaming search terms; (3) Ignorance by design: algorithmically embodied emissions; (4) Ignorance through query suggestions: directing people to data voids. The article shows that while Google Search and its underlying algorithmic and commercial logic pre-figure these ignorances, they are also co-created and co-maintained by content producers, users and other human and non-human actors, as Google Search has become integral of social practices and ideas about them. The conclusion draws attention to a new logic of ignorance that is emerging in conjunction with a new knowledge logic.
