Engaging Russian Scientists

The Power of Engaging Citizen Scientists for Scientific Progress.

Citizen science has become a powerful force for scientific inquiry, providing researchers with access to a vast array of data points while connecting nonscientists to the authentic process of science. This citizen-researcher relationship creates an incredible synergy, allowing for the creation, execution, and analysis of research projects that would otherwise prove impossible in traditional res...

Threshold Determination and Engaging Materials Scientists in Ontology Design

This paper reports on research exploring a threshold for engaging scientists in semantic ontology development. The domain application, nanocrystalline metals, was pursued using a multi-method approach involving algorithm comparison, semantic concept/term evaluation, and term sorting. Algorithms from four open source term extraction applications (RAKE, Tagger, Kea, and Maui) were applied to a te...

We wondered whether painting our old school building could positively affect our mood and capacity to learn. With the help of our computer science teacher...

Automatic jargon identifier for scientists engaging with the public and science communication educators

Scientists are required to communicate science and research not only to other experts in the field, but also to scientists and experts from other fields, as well as to the public and policymakers. One fundamental suggestion when communicating with non-experts is to avoid professional jargon. However, because they are trained to speak with highly specialized language, avoiding jargon is difficul...
