TimeMapper Can I make a timemap anonymously? Yes! You do not need an account to create a timemap - they can be created anonymously and will have all the same features and shareability of normal timemaps. However, there are some benefits of creating an account and creating your timemap whilst logged in: You'll get a nice URL for your timemap at /your-username/a-name-you-choose-for-your-timemap All of your timemaps will be nicely listed at /your-username As you'll be identified as the owner you'll be able to re-configure (or delete) your timemap later If you do want an account, signup is very easy – it takes just 15 seconds, is very secure, and uses your Twitter account (no need to think up a new username and password!). "Publish" 1. Go to File Menu in your spreadsheet, then 'Publish to the Web', then click 'Start Publishing'. What URL do I use to connect my spreadsheet? Use the URL you get by clicking your spreadsheet's Share button and copying the Link to share box. Not all fields are required.
Mapping the Republic of Letters Official Blogger Blog Forces and functions in scientific communication CRISP 97 Cooperative Research Information Systems in Physics refereed collection of publications of invited talks of this international workshop. eds.: M. Karttunen, K. Hans E. Dans la vie, il n'y a pas de solutions. Abstract: This article analyses the transformation of the familiar, linear scientific information chain into an interactive scientific communication network in response to concomitant changes in scientific research and education. 1. It is generally understood that we are at present experiencing a transformation in the familiar scientific information chain, i.e. from author to publisher to library to reader. In this article we will analyse this transformation. A starting point is that our current policies and practices in science and communication are not ideal for an optimal exchange and refinement of our knowledge (1) while this is more than needed in our present, knowledge intensive society. However, we should not stop at this point. 2. 2.1 General 2.2. 3.
Basics of Mapping for the Digital Humanities – IDRE Sandbox To start, navigate to this page via the URL below: “What is a map? What is in a map? How do you map?” In the Humanities, mapping can be defined in so many different ways, there is no easy answer to these questions. “Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things.” Waldo Tobler’s statement defines his first law of geography, in ways stating the obvious correlation between objects in space, paving the foundation behind spatial dependencies. As mentioned at the top of the syllabus for this course, space and time are dimensions that are forever intertwined due to their ontological nature. Minard The representation of 3 dimensional space onto a flat, 2 dimensional platform–a map–brings with it many challenges and compromises (e.g. projection systems).

Visualization as a Digital Humanities ________ Presentation given on Saturday, April 27, 2013, at HASTAC 2013 in Toronto, Canada. [Download on Slideshare] You will notice I have changed the title of my presentation a bit from what is in the program. Partially, it’s because I’m an indecisive academic, but mostly, it is in reaction to my experience of co-hosting a HASTAC forum on “Visualization Across Disciplines” this past week. There has been some amazingly rich conversation thus far it’s still open for participation. So, instead of talking about my own research (which is on the simultaneous analytic, aesthetic, and social use of data visualization), I’m going be a bit more theoretical and hopefully a bit more thought provoking. As a new media scholar with one foot in visualization and the other in the digital humanities, I often find myself asking myself this: “What exactly is visualization in the digital humanities?” We’ve already established and can agree upon why we use it. First, let me clarify what I mean by visualization.
46 museos y bibliotecas que han digitalizado todo su conocimiento y lo ofrecen gratis en internet Gran parte de la historia de la humanidad y de los conocimientos que hemos adquirido con el paso de los siglos, se encuentran contenidos en una infinidad de objetos, como libros, escritos y muchos otros artículos que nos proporcionan una mirada al pasado, con los que podemos entender de dónde venimos y cómo hemos evolucionado como especie. Debido a la importancia de esto, el ser humano ha tratado de almacenar y cuidar todo este acervo, ya sea en museos, bibliotecas, universidades e incluso a través de colecciones privadas, que a pesar de estar ante cuidados especiales, el paso del tiempo les provoca un deterioro irreversible que pone en riesgo todo este conocimiento humano. Por lo anterior, desde hace algunos años surgieron iniciativas que se apoyan en el uso de la tecnología, esto para digitalizar todo este contenido y ponerlo al alcance de cualquier personas con acceso a internet, iniciativas que ahora son conocidas como 'Colecciones Digitales'.

Getting into Academia | University of Leeds Careers Centre Blog Are you considering an academic career? It can be difficult to know where to start, so in this blog post our Careers Consultant, Becky Clark, gives her top tips on how to be successful in academia. Whether you are at undergraduate, Masters or doctoral (see definition below)* level you may be considering an academic career. If you are passionate about your subject, like, and are good at, research, love being within a university and want to share your knowledge with university students then an academic career may be for you. Some academics focus primarily on teaching, some focus solely on research. You will need a good first degree with a 2:1 or 1st, usually a Masters and then a doctoral level qualification – a PhD, EngD, DPhil, DBA etc. If you are a research student already (doing a doctorate) these are the other things to be doing to increase your chances of progressing in academia. Further Information *What distinguishes a doctorate from other academic work, is research. Like this:
vis.js - A dynamic, browser based visualization library. Articles table of contents methods All images in this article were created with Circos (v0.49) and the tableviewer utility tool. Tables Store Data, not Present It Motivation Tables are natural containers for data. In other words - a useful container isn't automatically a useful presenter. Figure If your data are eggs, then the table is the egg crate, which keeps data ordered, separated and easily accessible. This article discusses an approach in which tabular data sets can be visually presented in a quantitative and informative manner. The method is an application of the Circos application. Tables are visual obstacles Consider the five tables below. Figure There is a limit to the size of a table that can be easily visually inspected. Unfortunately, most interesting data sets correspond to tables larger than 3x3 - usually much larger. Figure Adding row and column statistics to the table helps, but even simple patterns can still remain undetected. Examples of Uninterpretable Tables Visualizing ratios
Spend 10 Minutes Doing This Every Day and You Could Transform Your Blogging Today I want to suggest an exercise that has the potential to improve your blogging profoundly if you build it into your daily routine. Look at another blog Image by zev OK – this may not sound that profound – most of us read other blogs every day but it doesn’t revolutionise what we do – but stick with me for a second while I explain HOW to do it in a way that could have a big impact. Here’s what I do every day I choose a blog and then spend 5-10 minutes reviewing it. What I’ve found is that my spending 5-10 minutes every day looking at another blog in this way that I learn so much! The objective is not to do these reviews to copy what others are doing – but rather I find in looking at other blogs I often find inspiration and insight for my own blogs. Let me dive a little deeper into how I do it: Choosing a Blog to Review I review a blog every week day so over a year I’m potentially reviewing 260 blogs so I don’t have a single criteria for choosing which blog I’ll review.
