Presentation of a paper at the ISWC 2014 Workshop on Linked Science 2014— Making Sense Out of Data (LISC2014) - at ISWC 2014 Riva de Garda, Italy, October 19 “Using the Micropublications ontology and the Open Annotation Data Model to represent evidence within a drug-drug interaction knowledge base.” by Jodi Schneider, Paolo Ciccarese, Tim Clark and Richard D. Boyce. Paper: http://jodischneider.com/pubs/lisc2014.pdf Event:http://linkedscience.org/events/lisc2014/ Abstract: Semantic web technologies can support the rapid and transparent validation of scientific claims by interconnecting the assumptions and evidence used to support or challenge assertions. One important application domain is medication safety, where more efficient acquisition, representation, and synthesis of evidence about potential drug-drug interactions is needed. Exposure to potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs), defined as two or more drugs for which an interaction is known to be possible, is a significant source of preventable drug-related harm. The combination of poor quality evidence on PDDIs, and a general lack of PDDI knowledge by prescribers, results in many thousands of preventable medication errors each year. While many sources of PDDI evidence exist to help improve prescriber knowledge, they are not concordant in their coverage, accuracy, and agreement. The goal of this project is to research and develop core components of a new model that supports more efficient acquisition, representation, and synthesis of evidence about potential drug-drug interactions. Two Semantic Web models—the Micropublications Ontology and the Open Annotation Data Model—have great potential to provide linkages from PDDI assertions to their supporting evidence: statements in source documents that mention data, materials, and methods. In this paper, we describe the context and goals of our work, propose competency questions for a dynamic PDDI evidence base, outline our new knowledge representation model for PDDIs, and discuss the challenges and potential of our approach.

Intro Week Induction and Inquiry-based Learning: Varying Approaches

cilass.slideshare

The University of Sheffield has considered strategically the induction process undertaken by departments during Intro Week in order to facilitate the transition to university for new students. The approaches from three departments Human Communication Sciences, Automatic Control and Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering will be showcased in the symposium. Two main aims were: (i) welcome students into the department and discipline, (ii) begin the education of students into a new way of learning, specifically independent learning. Topics included: How was intro week organised to meet the aims? Which aspects of good practise might be usefully summarised for other departments?

Building a Data Science Portfolio that Rocks

Michael Galarnyk

How do you get a job in data science? Knowing enough statistics, machine learning, programming, etc to be able to get a job is difficult. One thing I have found lately is quite a few people may have the required skills to get a job, but no portfolio. While a resume matters, having a portfolio of public evidence of your data science skills can do wonders for your job prospects. Even if you have a referral, the ability to show potential employers what you can do instead of just telling them you can do something is important. This is a talk based on my original blog on Building a Data Science Portfolio: https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-build-a-data-science-portfolio-5f566517c79c

Continued Citation of Bad Science and What We Can Do About It Even papers that falsify data continue to be cited. I describe network and text analysis for studying how authors continue to cite bad science: articles retracted from the literature due to serious flaws or errors. I will present an in-depth case study of a human trial cited for over 10 years after it was retracted for falsifying data. Then, I will describe how the team scaled up to study a data set of 7000 retracted papers and hundreds of thousands of citations. Finally, I will discuss an ongoing Sloan-funded stakeholder consultation that is bringing editors, publishers, librarians, researchers, and research integrity experts together to address this problem.

jodischneider

Presentation for the Bibliometrics & Research Assessment Symposium 2020 (bibSymp20) https://www.nihlibrary.nih.gov/services/bibliometrics/bibSymp20 October 9, 2020 Retraction is intended to remove articles from the citable literature. However, a series of studies from over 30 years, from 1990 through 2020, have found that many retracted papers continue to be cited, and cited positively, even following misconduct-related retractions. For instance, a fraudulent clinical trial report retracted in 2008 continues to receive citations in 2020, and 96% of post-retraction citations do not mention its citation - perhaps because its retraction not marked on the publisher website and its retraction notice cannot be readily retrieved from 7 out of 8 databases (8 out of 9 database records) we tested. This talk draws an ongoing systematic mapping study of research about retraction and our own research projects to summarize what is known about post-retraction citation in biomedicine. We outline practical steps that authors and reviewers can take to avoid being caught out by poorly marked retracted papers. 20 minutes including Q&A

jodischneider

JCDL2020 full paper. Abstract: Scientific digital libraries speed dissemination of scientific publications, but also the propagation of invalid or unreliable knowledge. Although many papers with known validity problems are highly cited, no auditing process is currently available to determine whether a citing paper’s findings fundamentally depend on invalid or unreliable knowledge. To address this, we introduce a new framework, the keystone framework, designed to identify when and how citing unreliable findings impacts a paper, using argumentation theory and citation context analysis. Through two pilot case studies, we demonstrate how the keystone framework can be applied to knowledge maintenance tasks for digital libraries, including addressing citations of a non-reproducible paper and identifying statements most needing validation in a high-impact paper. We identify roles for librarians, database maintainers, knowledge base curators, and research software engineers in applying the framework to scientific digital libraries. doi:10.1145/3383583.3398514 Preprint: http://jodischneider.com/pubs/jcdl2020.pdf

Beyond Randomized Clinical Trials: emerging innovations in reasoning about he...

jodischneider

Talk at the 3rd European Conference on Argumentation ABSTRACT: Specialized fields may at any time invent new inference rules—that is, new warrants—to improve on their stock of resources for drawing and defending conclusions. Yet disagreement over the acceptability of an invented warrant can always be re-opened. Randomized Clinical Trial is widely regarded as the gold standard for making inferences about causal relationships between medical treatments and patient outcomes. Once controversial, RCT achieved broad acceptance within the field as a result of warrant-establishing arguments circulating in the medical literature starting in the 1950s. And RCT has accumulated a very impressive track record of generating new conclusions that withstand critical scrutiny. Here we look at two emerging innovations whose purpose is to support reasoning about health, offering ways to generate different classes of conclusions. These innovations could be seen as complementary to RCTs, but for both there are also hints of challenge to the enormous prestige of RCTs. We see this most particularly in the gap that has developed between the RCT-generated fact base and the decisions doctors and health policy officials have to make about treatments for patients. We’ve mentioned before that specialized inference methods that become stabilized within an expert community can meet unexpected challenges when they become components of reasoning by other communities. The two innovations considered here each allow us to explore the tensions that arise from the contrasting perspectives of scientists, clinicians, and patients.

Problem-citations--CrossrefLive18--2018-11-13

jodischneider

Publishers are caretakers of science. Part of that work is maintaining the integrity of scientific literature. Science builds directly upon past work, so we need to be sure that we are building upon a solid foundation and not faulty research. Publishers need to take an active role in monitoring and tracking faulty, retracted research and its influence. I'm asking publishers to (1) clearly mark retracted papers; (2) alert authors who have already cited a retracted paper; and (3) before publishing an article, check its bibliography for retracted papers. Retracted papers should be clearly marked everywhere they appear, but today that is not the case. Publishers can also use the CrossRef CrossMark service, which lets readers check for article updates (such as retraction) from a little red ribbon at the top of an article. Checking for citations to retracted articles, and limiting future citations, can help science self-correct by shoring up its foundations.

Problematic citations--Workshop-on-Open-Citations--2018-09-03

jodischneider

The structure of citation networks provides evidence about how scientific information is diffused. Problematic citation patterns include the selective citation of positive findings, citation bias, as well as the continued citation of retracted literature (i.e. literature formally withdrawn due to error, fraud, or ethical problems). For instance, there is some evidence that positive results tend to receive more citations. The public domain licensing of the Open Citations Corpus makes it possible, in principle, to estimate the likelihood that any network of research papers suffers from problematic citation. To-date, problematic citation been documented ad-hoc, in several striking studies. In Alzheimer's disease research, biased citation, ignoring critical findings, was used to support successful U.S. NIH grant proposals (Greenberg 2009). Mistranslation of obesity research has been used to justify exertion game research (Marshall & Linehan 2017). Citation of fraudulent research about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease continued after its retraction (Fulton et al. 2015). The data resulting from such studies is of great use to my lab in replicating and determining how to generalize the detection of problematic citation patterns. Previously, the detection of problematic citation patterns has been a side effect of astute researchers, noticing suspicious findings while conducting systematic literature reviews. This talk will describe work-in-progress in my lab detecting problematic citation patterns using natural language processing, combined with network analysis on the Open Citations Corpus.

Presentation: Jodi Schneider and Novejot Sandhu, “Modeling Alzheimer’s Disease Reseach Claims, Evidence, and Arguments from a Biology Research Paper.” 9th International Conference on Argumentation, International Society for the Society of Argumentation, Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 5, 2018 Abstract: Argument visualization may help make research papers easier to understand, which could both speed quality assessment within a discipline and help build interdisciplinary knowledge networks. This paper presents a case study of the arguments in a single high-profile paper on Alzheimer's disease research. Within this one paper, we analyze and hand-annotate the main claim, which is supported by 4 subclaims, in turn supported by data, methods, and materials. We also investigate how the paper imports and uses knowledge claims from other research papers. We create a specialized argument-based knowledge representation called a micropublication. In future work, we will investigate automatic argumentation mining for experimental biology research papers. Our long-term vision is to create literature-scale claim-argument networks that help more quickly use new knowledge about human health.

jodischneider

Presentation: Jodi Schneider and Sally Jackson, “Innovations in Reasoning About Health: The Case of the Randomized Clinical Trial.” 9th International Conference on Argumentation, International Society for the Society of Argumentation, Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 5, 2018 Abstract: Field-dependence in argumentation comes about through forms of inference invented by specialized fields. In recent work we introduced the concept of a "warranting device": (1) an inference license (2) invented for a specialized argumentative purpose and (3) backed by institutional, procedural, and material assurances of the dependability of conclusions generated by the device. Once established, fields employ such devices across many situations without further defense, even as the devices develop in response to newly-noticed problems. Many new warranting devices have appeared over the past century to solve problems in reasoning about health and medicine, replacing and obsolescing earlier forms of medical reasoning. One such device is the Randomized Controlled Trial. This case study traces its historical evolution and discusses some current movements toward competing device types.

jodischneider

Medication safety as a use case for argumentation mining We present a use case for argumentation mining, from biomedical informatics, specifically from medication safety. Tens of thousands of preventable medical errors occur in the U.S. each year, due to limitations in the information available to clinicians. Current knowledge sources about potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs) often fail to provide essential management recommendations and differ significantly in their coverage, accuracy, and agreement. The Drug Interaction Knowledge Base Project (Boyce, 2006-present; dikb.org) is addressing this problem. Our current work is using knowledge representations and human annotation in order to represent clinically-relevant claims and evidence. Our data model incorporates an existing argumentation-focused ontology, the Micropublications Ontology. Further, to describe more specific information, such as the types of studies that allow inference of a particular type of claim, we are developing an evidence-focused ontology called DIDEO--Drug-drug Interaction and Drug-drug Interaction Evidence Ontology. On the curation side, we will describe how our research team is hand-extracting knowledge claims and evidence from the primary research literature, case reports, and FDA-approved drug labels for 65 drugs. We think that medication safety could be an important domain for applying automatic argumentation mining in the future. In discussions at Dagstuhl, we would like to investigate how current argumentation mining techniques might be used to scale up this work. We can also discuss possible implications for representing evidence from other biomedical domains.

jodischneider

A talk for the Moore Institute for Humanities - People and documents are of enduring interest. Documents may be generated by individuals, collective groups, and administrations, on any number of topics. We are particularly interested in the relationships between people and documents. The most important relationships are creation (authors, illustrators, translators, ...), usage (e.g. association copies), and topic-of (e.g. people may be the subjects of biographies). In this lecture, we will talk about several approaches for modeling, or representing, people and documents. We pay particular attention to computer-based approaches to organization, and to organizing information for websites. We will talk briefly about TEI and XML, and the focus on my area of research expertise: modeling "linked data", a widely adopted approach for interlinking data.
