GIS Commons
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This is not a typical e-book; it is a free, web-based, open-source “textbook” available to anyone interested in using mapping tools to create maps. This e-text focuses primarily on Geographic Information Systems (GIS)—a geospatial technology that enables you to create spatial databases, analyze spatial patterns, and produce maps that communicate more effectively. While this GIS textbook is principally an introduction to GIS, most of the chapter’s concepts are applicable to other geotechnologies including remote sensing, global positioning systems (GPS), Internet mapping, and virtual globes.

Creating good maps and analyzing spatial data is a time consuming and challenging practice, but recently, a new set of powerful mapping tools has enabled almost anyone with a computer to make maps easily and to perform at least some low-level analyses. The results, however, are not encouraging. Most of the new mapmakers do not have adequate training in mapping concepts and spatial analysis principles, and their maps are often improperly designed and do not communicate easily nor effectively. This e-text—GIS Commons—seeks to help you analyze spatial data and communicate more effectively. In short, GIS education is our goal.

Managing the Innovation Process
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This course approaches “managing the innovation process” through five levels of analysis: individual, team, network, organizational, and industrial. At each level of analysis, particular attention is given to the conditions under which innovation processes succeed and fail. The weekly readings consist of a mixture of book chapters, journal articles, and cases, and an online forum will be used for further discussion of the required readings outside of class. Tuesday classes will begin with a reflection exercise that entails critical thinking about the topic for the week, followed by an activity and lecture introducing material found both within and outside of the readings. Thursday classes will begin with a case analysis completed in small groups, followed by a discussion based on the issues raised in the case and online forum. The primary goal of the course is to expose students to a variety of perspectives on innovation, while building on past work experiences and preparing for work experiences in the future.

Open Source Guides
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Open Source Guides (https://opensource.guide/) are a collection of resources for individuals, communities, and companies who want to learn how to run and contribute to an open source project.

Background: Open Source Guides were created and are curated by GitHub, along with input from outside community reviewers, but they are not exclusive to GitHub products. One reason we started this project is because we felt that there weren't enough resources for people creating open source projects.

Our goal is to aggregate community best practices, not what GitHub (or any other individual or entity) thinks is best. Therefore, we try to use examples and quotations from others to illustrate our points.

Open Source Toolkit: Hardware
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

The Open Source movement revolutionized the way computer systems were developed and how companies made their businesses. Its philosophy requires that all source code should be freely shared, so that as many people as possible can use, change, learn, and improve upon it. In recent years the increasing availability and low costs of electronic components, processors and 3D printers meant that an open model of development has taken root also in the world of hardware, including the development of scientific lab equipment. The implications for research can hardly be overstated: “Open Labware” designs are almost always cheaper than “closed source” ones, allow for distributed development and, critically, customization by the end user, the lab scientist. PLOS welcomes submissions in this field.

Open Source Tools: Train-the-Trainer Course
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

An ecosystem of free open source tools for improving the rigor and reproducibility of research is thriving. Information professionals at research institutions must stay informed about what tools are available and how they compare. Ideally, information professionals can also onboard researchers to kickstart adoption of these tools. However, developing quality curriculum to train researchers on new tools requires expertise in the tool itself, which leaves many researchers without training on tools that may benefit their research.
This course will train participants to run hands-on, quality modules designed to onboard researchers to four free open source tools. Participants will experience each module, practice the exercises, and explore the training material needed to run the module themselves. An instructor guide that includes the module outline, objectives, description, frequently asked questions, pre- and post-participant surveys, target audience, and instructions for running a successful module is provided for each tool taught.

This course will train participants to run modules on unique aspects of four free open source tools for researchers:

Binder: Share your computational environment, code, and research notebooks.
Renku: Document and share your analysis pipelines.
Open Science Framework: Create a centralized, structured workspace for your research materials.
KnitR: Knit your R code with your analysis narrative in one executable research notebook and capture your dependencies.

Many participants already run short-duration training events at their institutions. This course is ideal for those participants who wish to improve the quality and variety of the training they already offer to researchers. Participants who do not currently run short-duration training events at their institutions will benefit from the course by learning an accessible and efficient way of getting started with these four modules.

SCAPP: An algorithm for improved plasmid assembly in metagenomes
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Advances in metagenomic sequencing have allowed for the identification of countless novel bacterial taxa in environmental samples. However, due to a lack of appropriate computational tools, the plasmids contained by many of these bacteria have received far less attention. That has restricted research into the important genetic processes plasmids are responsible for, such as horizontal gene transfer and antibiotic resistance. To address this gap, researchers recently developed the Sequence Contents-Aware Plasmid Peeler (SCAPP). An open-source Python package, SCAPP builds upon a previously developed algorithm and uses biological data to assemble plasmid sequences from metagenomic samples. SCAPP was found to outperform existing metagenomic plasmid assembly tools when tested on simulated metagenomes and real human gut microbiome samples. SCAPP could also assemble novel and clinically relevant plasmid sequences in generated samples..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
