Open Research Tools and Technologies
What is special about open source research software and why does it matters?
Reporting about progresses and challenges from the French ecosystem
<p>French citizens have a right to request source code developed by their administration. This includes source code developed by public research labs. But the research sector has a distinct place in the "public code" landscape. It produces open source gems like scikit-learn, and many researchers contribute to Free Software, but some source code is never published because public labs are requested to use them as assets for new startups. This talk will explore this distinct place, the work that has been done in France to promote the publication of research source code and the challenges ahead.</p>

<p>This presentation is about the development and trajectory of Heurist (HeuristNetwork.org), a shared, integrated, extensible data infrastructure (model, build, manage, analyse, visualise, share, publish via integrated CMS) for Humanities research capable of handling the needs of many heterogeneous projects on a single standalone service*, with optional integration across multiple servers by a coordinating index (itself based on Heurist).</p> <p>Humanities data are interesting (both technically ...

<p>Developed from 1995 onward, Prospero is a framework for longitudinal analysis of text corpora. Based on dictionaries and semi-automatic classification, it mainly allows its user to combine approaches of statistical computation, co-occurrence network and search for nested patterns. Inspired by pragmatic sociology, it focuses on the multiple forms of expression and argumentation used by actors, on language regimes and on the identification of transformations occurring in the research case. ...

<p>I am a social scientist who mostly teaches and conducts qualitative research, but I am also a programmer. Over the years, I have contributed to a variety of free and open source software projects, and since 2019, I have developed and maintained <code>textnets</code>, a Python package for text analysis that represents collections of texts as networks of documents and words, providing novel possibilities for the visualization and analysis of texts. In my field, such software development efforts ...

<p>The writing of web publications mixing data visualization and textual prose opens novel opportunities for connecting evidence, arguments and narrative in social sciences communities. Such a practice poses a variety of challenges in terms of website design and development ; but also and maybe more importantly, it asks for experimenting specific workflows for coordinating a variety of expertises ranging from social sciences disciplines (history, sociology, etc.) to data science, information ...

<p>This talk will show a new Python tool called Livemark, which is designed for data journalism software education, and documentation writing. Using Livemark, you can collect and present data with interactive tables, charts, and other elements without leaving a text editor. You can also write documentation with live script execution similar to a lightweight version of a Jupiter Notebook. This talk will demo Livemark and will be well-suited for a technical and non-technical audience that is ...
