CODATA Early Career Essay Competition 2020 on “Open Data Challenges to Address Global and Societal Issues”
*CODATA Connect Working Group: Early Career and Alumni Network* <br> <br>*An Invitation to Take Part in the CODATA Connect – Data Science Journal <br>Early Career Essay Competition * <br> <br>The first of its kind, CODATA Connect Early Career and Alumni Network in <br>collaboration with the CODATA Data Science Journal (DSJ) is organizing an <br>Essay Competition for Early Career Researchers (ECR), defined as university <br>undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate students or early career researchers <br>within five years of completing their highest qualification. CODATA Connect <br>exists to ensure a structural and sustained collaboration and support for <br>the activities of the alumni of CODATA-RDA Summer Schools, of the CODATA <br>China and Trieste Training Workshops and other early career researchers and <br>data professionals involved in the CODATA community and those of partner <br>organisations. <br> <br>*Topic for the Essay: “Open Data Challenges to Address Global and Societal <br>Issues”* <br> <br>Participants interested in disseminating information on research data in <br>the sciences, humanities and the arts using essays as the medium are <br>welcome to apply. Topics might include but not limited to human health, <br>climate change, resilience, etc. Essays which discuss the necessary limits <br>in openness are also in scope and are welcome (e.g. personal health <br>information, indigenous sovereignty etc.) Essays that discuss the <br>challenges in making data as open as possible and how such data can be used <br>to address global and societal issues (Crime, Disease, Governance, etc.) <br>Essays <br>might discuss challenges at any point in the data lifecycle and in relation <br>to any of a number of global and societal challenges. We discourage essays <br>that simply present well known and generic arguments in favour of open <br>data. Essays are encouraged to use local or specific examples for the <br>benefits of open data and to discuss how challenges can be overcome in both <br>specific circumstances and more globally. <br> <br>*Rules and Instructions* <br> <br>*The dates for the essay writing are: 1st April to 30th June 2020. * <br> <br>The Essay Writing Competition is open to all CODATA-RDA Summer Schools <br>Alumni and any Early Career researchers. The essay writing time is 3 months <br>and the length of the essay should be 2000-3000 words. References do not <br>count as part of words limit. Each essay must contain the full name(s), <br>affiliations and contacts details of the authors. Essay is accepted only in <br>English Language. <br> <br>*The Judging Panel* <br> <br>The panel of judges consists of representatives from the CODATA Community <br>and Editors of the CODATA Data Science Journal. The judges’ decision is <br>final and may not be appealed. The review process will be single blind. <br>Judges will not know the identity of the authors. <br> <br>*Judging Criteria * <br> <br>Essays should be interesting, original and provocative but also clearly <br>situated in a body of knowledge. It is important that authors show an <br>appropriate knowledge of the chosen research area for discussions. Other <br>criteria include but are not limited to: <br> <br> <br> - Contemporary relevance of the topic to science of data <br> - Demonstrated awareness of the state of discussion around the topic. <br> Essays do not need to include a comprehensive literature review, but must <br> illustrate where their argument fits into broader discussion in the field. <br> - Strength and persuasiveness of the argument, underpinned by reference <br> to literature, evidence and data. <br> - Clarity of writing and appeal of the style. <br> <br>*Format*: Essays cover topics and controversies of interest to the <br>community and aim to stimulate discussion and debate. Essays may be <br>provocative and less focused on reporting original research work but should <br>still consist of original thoughts and ideas. Essays should be no longer <br>than 3,000 words in length. The content of the essay should be at the <br>author’s preference.
