AbstractThis article investigates change processes regarding the managerial aspects of organizing cultural heritage activities in China. The focus is not on the historical and artistic meanings of archaeological discoveries in themselves; nor on the technical, scientific and methodological repercussions of conservation and restoration; nor on the evolution of museology per se. Rather, the core of the analysis is on new managerial problems along the “archaeological chain” (archaeological discoveries, restoration, museum definition and public access to cultural heritage) posed by new professional discourse and the overall evolution of the economic and political context. The article is based on field research carried out in Luoyang, Henan province. The micro view adopted (managing practices more than policies), and the unusual access to data (including financial figures on individual entities) represent a unique opportunity for a sort of “journey” inside the Chinese public sector.

The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) and the Association of American Universities (AAU), with support from the National Science Foundation, convened the Accelerating Public Access to Research Data Workshop on October 29-30, 2018. The purpose of the workshop was to provide a venue for learning, sharing, and planning (campus roadmaps) to support research universities as they create and implement institutional and cross-institutional strategies and systems to provide public access to research data. It also provided a forum for participants to hear from federal agencies concerning their current activities and plans regrading data access. To date, institutional efforts to provide public access to research data have lacked coordination. Additionally, a long-term multi-institutional strategy for data access has been slow to develop due to the complexities of data management and the decentralized nature of the research enterprise. Access to data presents a particularly difficult challenge given the technical knowledge required and the variation in data creation and use across disciplines. While providing the public with access to taxpayerfunded research data is challenging, it will ultimately speed the pace of scientific advancement and innovation and strengthen research integrity. The workshop and report, together with prior and subsequent engagement by APLU and AAU, will help to accelerate public access to research data.

BACKGROUND: Public access to data has been a major step in attempting to reduce bias in scientific literature. OBJECTIVE: Data to verify efficacy outcomes are now more accessible; however, little has been done to ensure public access to harms data from RCTs, which are equally important in ascertaining possible misreporting and protecting safety. METHODS: The treatment for adolescents with depression study (TADS) has influenced most international practice guidelines for treating children and adolescents with depression, supporting first-line prescription of fluoxetine in combination with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). However, after over 30 publications by the TADS team, reporting on harms remains highly deficient. RESULTS: In undertaking a restoring invisible and abandoned trials (RIAT) reanalysis of TADS’ effectiveness and safety outcomes, we sought access to de-identified serious adverse events (SAE) data. This paper describes our unsuccessful efforts to obtain more detailed SAE data from TADS’ data custodians, highlighting several problematic blocks to comprehensive safety reporting. CONCLUSION: Comprehensive access to clinical trial data is necessary to ensure safe and fully informed guidelines for treating children and adolescents with depression.

Concerns about how neighbourhoods are portrayed in the news have surfaced regularly in the Toronto area over the years. But are those concerns valid? Interactive maps produced by the The Local News Research Project (LNRP) at Ryerson University’s School of Journalism are designed to help Toronto residents answer this question. The maps give the public access to data the research project collected on local news coverage by the Toronto Star and the online news website OpenFile.ca. The maps are based on the Toronto Star’s local news coverage published on 21 days between January and August, 2011. Researchers have found that a two-week sample of news is generally representative of news coverage over the course of a year (Riffe, Aust & Lacy, 1993). The data for OpenFile.ca, which suspended publishing in 2012, were collected for every day in 2011 between January and August. Click here to see the maps or continue reading to find out more about news coverage and neighbourhood stereotyping, how the maps work, and the role of open data sources in this project.
