Studying Scientific migration with Big (scholarly) Data

Exploratory: Migration studies

Scientific migration has aroused growing interest in recent years due to its impact on governments' policies and institutions. We analyse the traits of highly-skilled people who emigrate to understand the movements' factors. Also, we focus on the evolution of researchers' collaborative network by measuring the tendency to collaborate with researchers belonging to institutions of the same country of affiliation or not and relating it to changes in affiliation to find out the factors related to scientific mobility.

Making Dark Data FAIR

Modern high-performance computing facilities (HPCs) generate a colossal amount of data. Recent studies have shown that a significant percentage (up to 3.41% of total storage capacity) of the data HPCs produce might never be used again — for reasons as mundane as improper labelling. Given that it’s often the case that large amounts of public money go into the production of that data, this is obviously hugely problematic.

Could data revolution help the measurement of peacefulness? Data Scientists for Social Good and Social Good organisations, such as the United Nations (UN), highlight the importance of harnessing the data revolution [1] to put the best available tools and methods to work for the well-being and its dimensions [2] or in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals [3], such as peacefulness.

Computational methods for the analysis of online hate speech against refugees and migrants - Part 1 -

Exploratory: Migration Studies

Online hate speech deserves special academic attention because of its social implications, as it can be an important predictor of hate crimes towards vulnerable individuals or groups. In Europe, it has not stopped rising in recent years, while these types of crimes are also increasing. Müller & Schwarz, (2018) explain that there is a correlation between hate speech online and hate crimes, so it is essential to study these types of messages that are transmitted on social networks in order to prevent and counteract their effects.
