SIS Mansion, 3661 Peel, room 106, 10am-12pm

Antoon Cox is a PhD researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and King's College London (KCL). His research focuses on non-professional interpreting in the emergency department. In this context, he carries out non-participant observation and discourse analysis in a multilingual inner city public hospital emergency department in Brussels. Apart from this, Antoon is training and examining community interpreters at the Flemish Centre for Community interpreting (COC).

鈥婽his workshop offers an introduction to the production of research podcasts for the purposes of dissemination within both the academic community and the public at large.

In this workshop, we will study how to turn academic research projects and papers into audio podcasts. We will focus on what it takes to make good podcasts (both content-wise and from a technical perspective) and how to turn your research into a radio documentary or an academic interview. You will also learn how to collect and edit soundbites, interviews and contextual sounds that describe your research.听

Note: This workshop is useful not just for research podcasts! You can effectively use podcasts to engage with your community as an information professional regardless of your information environment. It will also offer incredibly valuable strategies for planning research or reference interviews.

In preparation, please:

• bring a laptop computer, headphones, and a voice recorder/Dictaphone (or download a voice recording app onto your smartphone such as 'Easy VoiceRecorder' (Android), 'Windows Voice Recorder' (Windows phone), or 'Voice Recorder' (iPhone));
• download and install Audacity (free and legal); and
• create an account on Freesound.org, a free to use database of sounds (it will not spam your email).

On the Compliance of Women Engineers with a Gendered Scientific System
Gita Ghiasi, PhD Candidate, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Concordia University
Engineering is typically associated with technological advancements and innovation, which is central to many countries鈥� economic growth. Yet engineering fails to meet its promises for societal development, as women are largely underrepresented in this discipline. Attempts for integration of more women in engineering are proven to be only partially successful, as gender disparities are also rooted in cultural associations among engineering, technology, and masculinity. As a consequence, women are likely to face greater difficulties coping with the engineering culture, which is referred to as 鈥榠n/visibility paradox鈥�, as women are often visible as women but invisible as engineers, and they constantly have to work harder to prove themselves as professionals. In the growing literature and focus on the capacity building for women in science and technology, there is a lack of focus on women鈥檚 scientific participation and performance in engineering specialties. There remains, therefore, a clear need for disciplinarily homogeneous, contextually enhanced, and methodologically rigorous studies of gender disparities in engineering. This talk seeks to address this void and evaluates gender differences in scientific production and impact of engineers using publication and author data from Web of Science, a comprehensive database of scientific publications. It further scrutinizes the engineering scientific community and analyzes cross-gender co-authorship collaboration patterns among researchers, mapping the position of female and male engineers in a complex network of scientific collaborations.

Cardinal: Novel Software for Studying File Management Behavior
Jesse David听Dinneen, PhD Candidate, 91社区 SIS
Abstract provided by the author
At this lunch talk I will discuss my experiences with collecting data and recruiting participants for my PhD study. I'll go into detail about why I had to make custom software for my data collection, how I went about doing this and sharing the software on GitHub, how I tried to use this as an opportunity to make a methodological contribution, the successes and challenges of recruitment, and lessons learned from the whole process. To some extent this will serve as a follow-up to the ASIS&T talk Jon Dorey gave last April about getting ethics approval, since recruitment and data collection are often the next steps in a research project.

This series aims to facilitate scholarly culture at SIS and provide a platform for informal discussion of works in progress. The general format entails bringing your lunch (e.g., brown bag) to the meeting room, eating while listening to a guest speaker present their current readings or research, and discussing afterwards.

This session will be followed by the 91社区 ASIS&T executive meeting, where all are welcome to join us and participate!

An empirical investigation of partial alphabetical authorship in biomedicine
Philippe Mongeon, PhD Candidate, Universit茅 de Montreal
The purpose of this study is to provide original insights on the prevalence of partial alphabetical order in medical research and on its evolution over the last decade. After investigating 1,967,776 articles in biomedical research and clinical medicine with between 6 and 100 authors from Web of Science, this study find that as the number of authors per article increases, the prevalence of partial alphabetical order also increases. A plausible explanation is that a high number of authors complexifies their ordering, so only the most important contributors are ordered according to their contribution while the others are ordered alphabetically.

Exploring scholars鈥� downloading patterns
Sarah Cameron-Pesant, Master Student, Universit茅 de Montreal
In the context of the current 鈥減ublish or perish鈥� culture of academe, scholars鈥� working habits and work-life balance issues have become a subject of interest. The aim of this presentation is to examine scholars鈥� downloading patterns on four different timescales: hourly, weekly, monthly and by season. Our analyses are based on the web log data of 脡rudit, the main journal diffusion platform of French-Canadian journals in the social sciences and humanities, from 2011 to 2015. We focus on the countries with the highest number of downloads: Canada, France and the United States. Results show that Canadian and French users perform the large majority of their downloads during weekdays. Americans鈥� online activity, however, is steadier across the day (and night) and during weekends. Canadian users鈥� download activity increases at the middle of semesters, probably due to the high number of undergraduates using 脡rudit.

鈥�SIS Mansion, room 106, 2pm
The ASIS&T 91社区 Student Chapter is pleased to announce a new series of events, called 'ASIS&Tance Workshops', wherein popular topics related to research or PhD studies will discussed. These are intended to be helpful, loosely structured meetings for the informal exchange of information and ideas between PhD and MISt students interested in research.

The first session will be a听discussion and Q&A regarding the PhD Comprehensive Examination. Senior PhD candidates will be on hand to share听their experiences, and to answer questions from junior PhD students.

This year, the Tri-Council introduced new guidelines regarding ethics training in Canada. 91社区 made this training mandatory as of this term. With some of you having to apply for ethics before conducting research, this discussion will cover what you need to know before applying! Elements that will be covered include: the ethics application form, what to submit/provide, ethics training, wording issues and coordinating with the ethics review committee of other institutions. Questions are strongly encouraged!

Since the 1960s, many scholars have questioned the relationship between library and information science. This paper investigates LIS doctoral dissertations in terms of their topics and interdisciplinarity. Results show that LIS is an interdisciplinary field in which library science and information science are intimately related, Information Science has surpassed Library Science to become the dominant research topic in LIS, and doctoral advisors鈥� academic background affects the interdisciplinarity of their student鈥檚 doctoral dissertations.

The reverse engineering of software is fundamental to understanding the inner workings of new malware, exploring new vulnerabilities in existing systems, and identifying patent infringements in distributed software. It is also an intense and time-consuming process that has a much steeper learning curve than programming. This talk introduces the basics and the latest progress of our collaborative work with Defence Research and Development Canada in resolving critical information retrieval problems for reverse engineers. We study the challenges and concerns of the problem from the perspective of data mining, and address them by proposing new variants of search models in data mining. We have released open source software to the reverse engineer community, and received positive and constructive feedback that has improved our ongoing work.

Many people want to practice the habits of a healthy lifestyle but find it difficult to motivate themselves to do so, even when aware of the benefits. Persuasive Technology (PT) 鈥� technology designed to motivate behavior and attitude change 鈥� has helped people to manage addictive behaviors, achieve personal wellness, manage diseases, and make healthy choices. However, most PT interventions are designed using a one-size-fits-all approach, and research have shown that an approach that motivates one type of person to change her behavior may actually deter behavior change for another type of person. In this talk, I will present my work on tailoring PT to increase their efficacy at motivating healthy behavior change.

The various gaps between urban designers and planners (UDPs) and soundscape researchers results in UDPs failing to incorporate in their everyday work the state of the art knowledge on the interaction between users of urban spaces and their acoustic environments. Acoustic concerns are addressed mostly in the final stages of the design or planning process and this can lead to noisy, unpleasant city soundscapes marked with barrier walls. UDPs are generally responsible for shaping and intervening in the urban environment, but can lack sufficient acoustic expertise to achieve the best outcomes. Meanwhile, soundscape researchers, study the acoustic environment as it is perceived and understood by people, yet have little power to intervene and apply their findings.

In this study, semi-structured interviews deal with issues of soundscape and acoustic concerns by inviting UDPs to discuss general concepts about acoustics followed by a discussion that puts those concepts into context with two specific interventions, from their past and present work. Using the method of grounded theory, we identified key findings on a number of topics, such as: different categories for UDPs鈥� conceptualization(s) of soundscape; their perceived agency for change how obtain expertise; and the way in which UDPs evaluate the success of the acoustic components of their interventions. Further questions reveal how UDPs access new knowledge. The long-term goal of the study is to identify and/or create support materials or tools for UDPs that build on their existing understanding of acoustic issues and aim to aid them in making better decisions about soundscape in their daily work.
