    I spenninga mellom lokalhistorie og globalhistorie: Historiefaget ved UiT gjennom 50 år
    No. 2 (2023)

    I begynnelsen av desember 1972 fant den første organiserte historieundervisningen (hovedfag) ved UiT sted. Grunnfagsundervisningen startet opp året etter, høsten 1973. For å markere historiefagets første 50 år ved universitetet, ble det holdt et to-dagers seminar i desember 2022. Denne publikasjonen inneholder 39 innlegg/kommentarer som ble holdt under seminaret, og viser noen glimt av historiefagets virke og utvikling gjennom de første 50 år. Forhåpentligvis vil denne publikasjonen bli et nyttig bidrag og en viktig kilde for den eller de som en gang skal skrive historiefagets historie ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet.

  • European Dataverse Workshop 2020
    No. 2 (2020)

    The European Dataverse Workshop 2020 gathered over 70 representatives from European higher research and education institutions to discuss their knowledge about, expertise in, and experiences from developing and operating research data support services based on the open-source repository application Dataverse. The workshop also served as a venue for European higher research and education institutions still seeking advice and guidance on how to get started with research data management support services. 

    The workshop was held over two days, on January 23 and 24, 2020 at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. In addition to an introduction to FAIR research data stewardship and the Dataverse application and user community, the following topics were discussed on day 1: general issues such as installation types, business models, repository policies and guidelines, Dataverse in a European context (e.g. GDPR, OpenAIRE, funder requirements and mandates, the European HE landscape). These issues were discussed based on presentations of case studies of European Dataverse deployments by different types of stakeholders, including national installations (DataverseNL and DataverseNO), institutional installation (University of Göttingen), domain-specific installation (INRAE), and European installation (SSHOC). Another perspective included in the program of day one was how researchers use Dataverse to share their research data. 

    Day 2 started with an open talk by Mercè Crosas from Harvard University about research data management support services at Harvard. After the open talk, there were three parallel workshop sessions, focusing on (1) technical topics, (2) organizational topics, and (3) configuration and workflows. In all three sessions, the participants explored and discussed how Dataverse can be deployed in a European context, and what features need to be adapted and improved in order for Dataverse to become an even more suitable research data repository solution for European researchers. 

    To ensure the representation of different European stakeholders as well as high-level expertise on the topics to be discussed, representatives from a number of European higher research and educations institutions as well as representatives from Harvard University were be invited to contribute to the workshop.

    The collaborative notes from the workshop are available here.

  • Workshop on FAIR Research Data Curation
    No. 1 (2020)

    On January 20-21, 2020, RDA in Norway together with UiT The Arctic University of Norway, organized a workshop in FAIR research data curation.

    The aim of the workshop was to provide practical training in four central areas of research data management and curation: documentation and metadata, file organization and file format, copyright and ownership, and licensing (see the workshop announcement).

    The course was aimed at staff working with research support at Norwegian research organizations. Emphasis was placed on data that can be openly shared, and on data from researchers belonging to the so-called long tail, that is smaller and medium-sized data sets. The course therefore did not emphasize big data from research projects that have access to extensive research infrastructure.

    Five trainers introduced each their thematic session: 

    • Iris Alfredsson (Swedish National Data Service) on documentation and metadata 
    • Philipp Conzett (UiT The Arctic University of Norway) on file organization and file format, and on metadata in linguistics 
    • Erik Hjerde (UiT The Arctic University of Norway) on metadata in life sciences
    • Olav Torvund (University of Oslo) on copyright and ownership
    • Aysa Ekanger (UiT The Arctic University of Norway) on licensing 

    Each thematic session was followed by hands-on exercises where the participants had to apply their acquired knowledge on near-authentic datasets provided in the testbase of DataverseNO.

    The workshop gathered 46 participants from 16 Norwegian research organizations, and there were even more on the waiting list. This shows that there is a great demand for expertise in data curation in Norway, too.

  • Proceedings of a Workshop on the Historic Place Names of Franz Josef Land
    No. 3 (2015)

    A workshop, held in Oslo, Norway, from 12-13 May 2015, and supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, initiated a discussion of the historic place names of the High Arctic archipelago of Franz Josef Land. The islands contain hundreds of place names that amount to a virtual catalog of polar exploration and explorers of the mid- to late-19th Century. The workshop examined the study of these historic names, as well as the potential creation of an English-language database of them.
