Survey data on financial literacy, financial inclusion, informal financial business practices, and intentions towards formalization of female small vendors in Lima, Peru

This dataset encapsulates a comprehensive survey aimed at understanding informal business practices and financial literacy among small business vendors in Peru. The dataset comprises three key components: the survey questionnaire, raw survey data, and a detailed codebook. Researchers interested in the dynamics of financial practices in emerging markets may find this dataset particularly valuable, as it allows for the exploration of factors influencing financial decisions in small enterprises, with potential modifications suggested for adapting the survey to different national or cultural contexts. This dataset not only contributes to empirical research in financial behavior but also supports gender-specific studies by allowing the variable 'sex' to be adapted to 'gender' with multiple response options. The data and supplementary material is divided in tree files: The survey, presented in "Survey IFE.docx," includes questions across various domains such as informal business practices, financial literacy, financial inclusion, intentions towards financial formalization, and the formality of business ventures, along with demographic variables like age, sex, business age, and number of employees. The raw data, stored in "Dataset.csv," records responses from 118 participants, mapped against 31 indicators. The "Codebook.doc" provides exhaustive details about the survey variables, coding of responses, and the methodology employed, facilitating the replication of the study and application of the dataset in varied research contexts.

Literacy scales

This is a measure of literacy needs by occupations. It measure literacy according to the deffinition made by the OECD (2010). In that sense, it includes linguistic skills (reading, writting and speaking) but also numeracy and ICT skills. More in detail, 32 Likert-type questions from the Survey of Adult Skill were used. (8 questions about the frequency of use of reading at work , 4 questions about writing , 7 questions about speech which are titled influence and it is considered a general skill, 6 questions about numeracy and 7 questions about the use of ICT).

Unpacking the concept of "educators' data literacy in Higher Education" - Systematic Review of the literature and Keyword Map

As algorithmic decision-making and data collection become pervasive within higher education, how can educators make sense of the systems that shape life and learning in the 21st century? Through a systematic review of the literature, the paper investigates the gaps in the literature, which prevent the formulation of potential pathways and principles on which educators’ data literacy can - and should - be developed and fostered. The analysis of 137 papers through the methods of classification under relevant categories, and key words mapping, showed that there is little attention on HE teachers, and most approaches to educators’ data literacy address management and technical abilities for data processing, with less concern on critical, ethical and personal approaches to datafication in education. The present dataset shows the full list of articles analysed. The dataset, and ods file, is composed by the following sheets: <ol> <li>Codebook</li> <li>List of articles extracted from SCOPUS</li> <li>List of articles extracted from WOS</li> <li>List of articles extracted from ERIC</li> <li>List of articles extracted from DOAJ</li> <li>Interrater Agreement</li> <li>PRISMA workflow</li> <li>Analysis - First Level (classification of 137 articles selected)</li> <li>Analysis - Second Level (List of articles relating faculty development)</li> <li>Supplementary tables (counting articles in relation to the categories of analysis).</li> </ol> As for the Keywords' Map, a second file .csv displays the text  over which basis was performed the keyword maps analysis.

Searching as Information Literacy Unpacking the ACRL Frame of Searching As Strategic Exploration

Searching as Information Literacy Unpacking the ACRL Frame of Searching As Strategic Exploration is an OER that includes a podcast, blog and associated exercise. Three University of Ottawa librarians are interviewed on search challenges they have encountered and their proposed search strategies as it relates to the ACRL framework: Searching as Strategic Exploration. Although it is possible to present an analysis of search strategies solely in writing or in traditional in-personal presentations, newer media such as podcasts allow for innovative delivery of the material in a more immediate and visceral way. That is, the audience is able to hear and receive the information directly from the experts themselves, in their own words. A podcast is also able to convey the aural nuance of a given speaker in a way that conventional scholarly approaches can’t quite duplicate. We believe that a podcast with real librarians’ voices speaking to and guiding students about exploratory searching, using recent, real-life examples, represents a dynamic, useful, engaging and relevant educational tool for our target audience - MLIS, MIS students.    Podcast can be found on Soundcloud: <a href="https://soundcloud.com/somesoundsbylina/searching-as-information">https://soundcloud.com/somesoundsbylina/searching-as-information</a> Access to the blog: <a href="https://esisuottawa.wixsite.com/esisinfolit/post/searching-as-information-literacy-unpacking-the-acrl-frame-of-searching-as-strategic-exploration">https://esisuottawa.wixsite.com/esisinfolit/post/searching-as-information-literacy-unpacking-the-acrl-frame-of-searching-as-strategic-exploration</a>

(Open) Data literacy: Dataset for a systematic review of the literature

This dataset presents data used for a systematic review of the literature.We conducted a comprehensive literature review, in which we identified the following: a) the role of data literacy as one of several barriers to use; and b) open data-related activities that foster informal learning by assisting in the development of critical data literacy as a surrogate for citizens' continued engagement with open data. Following the screening and selection of 66 articles through the use of keyword mapping, the articles were coded and subjected to quantitative analysis. On the one hand, our findings demonstrate that inadequate data literacy hinders the utilisation of open data. Conversely, it seems that open data initiatives create pertinent prospects for fostering technical data literacy among the general public, enabling them to comprehend and engage with decision-making processes that are informed by data. However, critical data literacy as a primary catalyst for the strategic and transformative utilisation of open government data receives scant attention. In conclusion, this research has the potential to provide a foundation for interventions that promote open data literacy and lifelong learning.

Information literacy in the area of Library and Information Science. A bibliometric analysis in Latin America, from the Lens database (2001-2020).

The results of scientific production on ALFIN (2001-2020) in the areas of Library and Information Science are shown. All BIC journals were identified from Latindex. Then it was verified whether these journals were contained in the following databases: Web of Science (Core Collection and Scielo Citation Index), Scopus, Lens and Dimensions. The Lens database was chosen for retrieving records on ALFIN and performing the bibliometric analysis, as it has the highest coverage of BIC journals in Latindex. The trend and growth of scientific production were evaluated according to authors and year of publication; the productivity of authors was analyzed using Lotka's Law and the dispersion of the literature according to Bradford's Law. The degree, index and coefficient of collaboration were determined and collaboration networks were identified according to authors. The results show that scientific production on ALFIN in Latin America, reached a peak between 2017 and 2018, presenting a decrease from 2019 onwards. It was also observed that the production, collaboration between authors and the number of journals is predominantly Brazilian.

Metrics Literacies: On the State of the Art of Multimedia Scholarly Metrics Education (Video presentation)

Scholarly metrics, such as h-index or impact factor, are widely applied in academic tenure and funding decisions but often inappropriately. The quantification of research impact has created a pressure to publish that harms all scholarly disciplines by creating adverse effects, such as plagiarism, gratuitous self-citation, and honorary authorship. The Metrics Literacies project led by Prof. Stefanie Haustein aims to reduce the misuse of metrics and adverse effects by improving the understanding and use of scholarly metrics in academia through the development, testing, and dissemination of multimedia resources. This poster talk shows the current state of the art on the project.
