New Data Types in Social Science Research and Data Archives

During the CESSDA event "Strengthening and Widening of the European Infrastructure of Social Science Data Archives" in Skopje, North Macedonia  on 5-6 November 2019, Libby Bishop presented on New Data Types in Social Science Research and Data Archives.  The talk addressed four questions: What are researchers doing with social media and other data? What are repositories currently doing to hold and share new forms data? Are there useful resources for repository staff, and what next steps are planned? What are repositories’ responsibilities in the broader debates?  It is challenging to share data (consistent with Open Science and FAIR principles) while also meeting obligations to obey laws and protect confidentiality. Whereas the ethical procedures for “researcher-generated” data, such as surveys and interviews are well-established, no such consensus exists for social media and other data-in-the-wild.  Even the basic conception of whether virtual spaces are public or private remains contested among researchers and the public.  The talk delineated the key ethical issues of this debate and described practical solutions that some data repositories currently offer. To date, these solutions strictly interpret legal restrictions placed on data sharing.    Alongside the presentation, also a video introducing these issues is available. The video is also available for <a href="https://youtu.be/GvirMb1vmww">viewing on Youtube</a>.

The emphasis on the diversification within the A. simonstuarti species complex shows a deep genetic divergence, with eight distinct lineages (see Fig. 2 for geographic distribution). Symbols above branches indicate posterior probabilities of Bayesian inference (BI) and those below branches indicate bootstraps of maximum likelihood inference (ML). Low support values (BI <80 and ML <70) were omitted. Branch scale is indicated in number of substitution per site.

Data from: Using structured eradication feasibility assessment to prioritise the management of new and emerging invasive alien species in Europe

Prioritising the management of invasive alien species (IAS) is of global importance and within Europe integral to the EU IAS regulation. To prioritise management effectively the risks posed by IAS need to be assessed, but so too does the feasibility of their management. While risk of IAS to the EU has been assessed, the feasibility of management has not. We assessed the feasibility of eradicating 60 new (not yet established) and 35 emerging (established with limited distribution) species that pose a threat to the EU, as identified by horizon scanning. The assessment was carried out by 34 experts in invasion management from across Europe, applying the Non-Native Risk Management scheme to defined invasion scenarios and eradication strategies for each species, assessing the feasibility of eradication using seven key risk management criteria. Management priorities were identified by combining scores for risk (derived from horizon scanning) and feasibility of eradication. The results show eradication feasibility score and risk score were not correlated, indicating that risk management evaluates different information than risk assessment. Seventeen new species were identified as particularly high priorities for eradication should they establish in the future, while fourteen emerging species were identified as priorities for eradication now. A number of species considered highest priority for eradication were terrestrial vertebrates, a group that has been the focus of a number of eradication attempts in the EU. However, eradication priorities also included a diverse range of other taxa (plants, invertebrates and fish) suggesting there is scope to broaden the taxonomic range of attempted eradication in the EU. We demonstrate that broad scale structured assessments of management feasibility can help prioritise IAS for management. Such frameworks are needed to support evidence based decision making.
