Introduction à l’analyse des mégadonnées en sciences sociales

Wednesday, January 12, 2022
9am-noon and 1:30pm-4:30pm

Cet atelier d’introduction présente les bases de l’analyse statistique des mégadonnées. Leur définition varie selon les disciplines et les secteurs d’activité. On peut les définir comme des données qui mettent à l’épreuve les ressources de calcul disponibles. Nous examinerons les outils permettant aux chercheurs en sciences sociales de réaliser des tâches statistiques sur ces données exigeantes, notamment la manipulation des données dans R.

Experiments in the
Social Sciences

Thursday, January 13, 2022
9am-noon and 1:30pm-4:30pm

In this workshop, we will discuss the logic of experimentation, its strengths and weaknesses compared to other methodologies, and the ways in which experimentation has been — and could be — used to investigate political, social, and economic phenomena. Emphasis will be placed on field experiments, randomized trials conducted in real-world settings. Examples will be drawn from a broad array of disciplines.

Revising and Submitting
for Publication

Saturday, January 15, 2022
1:30pm-4:30pm

For many of us drafting a manuscript can be one of the most difficult steps in the research process. And sometimes our best efforts to revise and resubmit are not successful. Why is that? This workshop will begin an overview of the main reasons that manuscripts are rejected and offer tips for addressing those shortcomings and producing a publishable paper for a specific audience.  Participants will apply the principles of academic storytelling to address the goals of the author-researcher and the demands of the editor/reviewer and the reading audience. That means identifying the key message and how to shape that message for the intended audience in a particular outlet – be it a journal, news article, op-ed, press release, and other non-text-based outlet. Participants will dig into important but sometimes overlooked elements of a manuscript such as drafting a good title, choosing appropriate keywords and writing a strong abstract. Software tools and strategies for editing, proofreading and polishing a final draft will also be discussed.
