\nFrom an organizational perspective the course will be structured in four on-line training modules, each one built on frontal lessons and several interactions.
\nIn particular:<\/p>\n
\nThe module will outline the contours of the new paradigm for scientific knowledge production, emphasizing openness, the value of collaboration, and data availability. It will explore the features of data-intensive science, which underpin the creation and strengthening of Research Infrastructures (RI). The characteristics of these sociotechnical platforms will be discussed by analyzing both the Italian and European contexts, with reference to FOSSR’s efforts in developing the Italian Open Cloud for Social Sciences.<\/p>\n
\nThe module will present examples of accessing and querying data from research infrastructures, highlighting the importance of data interoperability. Specific cases will illustrate the use of the RISIS infrastructure for science, technology and innovation studies. We will present cases in which research questions are addressed differently depending on the nature of the data, analysing the ways of managing datasets and their enrichment with data external to the infrastructure. The content presented will highlight the value of shared database access.<\/p>\n
\nThe module aims to illustrate the basic concepts and statistical measures of network science and provide an overview of the main statistical network models. The module will conclude with two applications where networks are analysed using data from research infrastructures. The two applications that will be covered in this module are:<\/p>\n\n
\nThe module focuses on Bayesian networks as a tool for modelling complex causal relationships. A comparison between causal Bayesian networks and potential outcomes is carried out to highlight how the two approaches can be implemented synergistically. The module will include two applications that employ causal Bayesian networks on research infrastructure data. The two applications covered in this module are:<\/p>\n\n
