20h, Conversation lecture

The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with scientific information re-sources and with the effective methods of exploring their contents and data pro-cessing. The closed (licensed) and open (Open Access) resources are taken into con-sideration. The course topics include:

­- Bibliographic information resources (computerized library catalogs OPAC, central and distributed catalogs, scientific metasearch engines (discovery and delivery systems).

­- General and special bibliographies (current and retrospective national bibliog-raphy, literary, law and economic bibliographies).

­- Citation databases. Tools for bibliometrics and scientometrics analyses.

­- Reference managers as a supporting tool in bibliographic data management.

­- Polish and foreign digital libraries, institutional and domain-specific repositories.

­- Scientific internet search engines.

­- Open research data repositories. Data journals. The use of OAI-PMH, API in data downloading.

­- Public information as a source of research data (patent, law, statistics information resources).

­- The software and machine learning techniques for identifying and processing of scientific resources.

­- Research data visualization. The principles and techniques of research data visu-alizations. Common erros. Charts, diagrams, word clouds, the elements of in-fographics. The contents will be discussed in the context of PhD student works, i.e: scientific publications, presentations, posters.
