Total Survey Error Call: Einreichung noch bis zum 26. Februar 2017

 

aus Groves und Lyberg (2010)

Der Call for Abstracts für den International Total Survey Error Workshop 2017 läuft noch bis zum 26. Februar. Oberthema dieses Jahr ist Total Survey Error: Combined data products from a TSE perspective, oder etwas spezifischer:

In addition to traditional TSE topics, we are encouraging contributions on:

  • Total error frameworks for Big Data, integrated data sets and products
  • “Total statistical uncertainty” frameworks for estimates derived from nonprobability samples
  • Statistical disclosure limitation error
  • Uses of administrative data to reduce TSE
  • Methods for addressing specification errors in integrated data sets
  • Illuminating the Big Data ETL process black box

Wer also (schon wieder) ins schöne Nürnberg zum IAB fahren möchte kann das vom 12. bis 14. Juni tun. Genaue Infos gibt es hier:

https://www.xing-events.com/itsew2017.html

Ich würde mich freuen die eine oder den anderen aus unserem Kreis da zu treffen. Schließlich müssen wir ja die Fahne für den Processing Error hochhalten. Ich habe manchmal den Eindruck der ist ein wenig das Stiefkind des TSE-Konzepts 😉

Stata-Banner

We would like to announce the 15th German Stata Users Group meeting to be held Friday, June 23, 2017 at Humboldt University Berlin, Grimm-Zentrum, Geschwister-Scholl-Straße 1, 10117 Berlin.

All Stata users, from Germany and elsewhere, or those interested in learning about Stata, are invited to attend.

Presentations are sought on topics that include the following:

  • User-written Stata programs
  • Case studies of research or teaching using Stata
  • Discussions of data management problems
  • Reviews of analytic issues
  • Surveys or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields, etc.

The conference language will be English, due to the international nature of the meeting and the participation of non-German guest speakers.

Submission guidelines

If you are interested in presenting a paper, please submit an abstract by email to one of the scientific organizers (max 200 words). The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2017. Presentations should be 20 minutes or shorter.

Registration

Participants are asked to travel at their own expense. There will be a small conference fee to cover costs for refreshments and lunch. There will also be an optional informal meal at a restaurant in Berlin on Friday evening at additional cost.

Data in the Middle: The common language of research (#iassist17)

IASSTS 2017 Logo

The 43rd annual conference of the International Association for Social Science Information Services and Technology (IASSIST) will be held in Lawrence, Kansas from May 23-26, 2017.

Many issues around data (sources, strategies, and tools) are similar across disciplines. While IASSIST has its roots in social science data, it has also welcomed discussions over the years of other disciplines’ issues as they relate to data, data management, and support of users. So again this year, in line with this tradition, we are arranging a conference that will benefit those who support researchers across all disciplines: social sciences, health and natural sciences, and humanities. Please join the international data community in Lawrence, KS, “in the middle” of the U.S., for insights and discussion on how data in all disciplines are found, shared, used, and managed. Join us and draw inspiration from this diverse gathering! 

We welcome submissions for papers, presentations, panels, posters, and pecha kuchas.

The full Call for Proposals, along with the link to the submission form, can be accessed on the conference website here: http://www.iassist17.dept.ku.edu/proposals/

Questions can be directed to the Program Chairs, Samantha Guss and Michele Hayslett, at iassist2017@gmail.com.

We are also accepting submissions for Pre-conference Workshops under a separate Call for Workshops, which can be accessed here: http://www.iassist17.dept.ku.edu/proposals/workshops/

Questions about workshops may be sent to the Workshop Coordinators, Jenny Muilenburg (jmuil@uw.edu) and Andy Rutkowski (arutkowski@library.ucla.edu).

Deadline for all submissions: 21 November 2016.

Notification of acceptance: February 2017.

CfP: “Recent Developments in Metadata Capture, Discovery and Harmonization in the Social Sciences”

University of Leicester (logo)

This session invites presentations dealing with structured metadata in a standardized form across the survey life-cycle: models, systems and tools for i.e. instrument design, data entry, data processing, maintaining data documentation, and capturing and storing the metadata within a repository for later reuse. There is increased interest in supporting the comparison and harmonization of studies/waves over space and time, and across studies, especially at the level of theoretical concepts, questions, and variables to which structured metadata is well suited.

Capturing metadata as early on in the survey life-cycle as possible in a structured way enhances transparency and quality, enables reproducible research and reuse of survey components for other waves or surveys.

A wide range of different products and services for different users can be generated on the basis of computer-processable metadata like web-based information systems, traditional codebooks, command setups for statistical packages, question banks, and searching and locating of data which assist in the use or interpretation of the data.

Papers are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics: reuse of metadata across space, time, and studies, metadata banks such as for questions and classifications, metadata-driven processes, and metadata-driven information systems, possibly using the major specification for social science metadata, DDI Lifecycle (DDI 3 branch of the Data Documentation Initiative).

The session is aimed at survey designers and implementers, data and metadata managers, information system managers of cross-national surveys, metadata experts, and others.

Session at the 9th International Conference on Social Science Methodology Research Committee on Logic and Methodology RC33
Conference dates: 11-16 September 2016
Venue: University of Leicester, UK
Deadline: 21 January 2016
