AccelNet Workshop Series: Mapping Scientific Collaborations

AccelNet Mapping Scientific Collaborations

Scientific Collaboration Network Evaluation

This series of three workshops is open to peer AccelNet partners. The workshops, which will be held in the spring of 2023, will focus on:

  1. Available data sources that can be accessed and integrated to populate their scientific collaboration graphs
  2. The most current tools for analyzing and visualizing scientific collaboration graphs
  3. Hands-on evaluation of their network data to inform their project’s strategy and assessment.

Based on the workshops and current literature, the project will develop and disseminate an assessment template that NSF AccelNet teams can utilize to establish baseline graphs and to assess and report the growth and development of their networks over time by updating and monitoring their graphs using a common approach. The template can be used by the partners in strategic decision-making for the AccelNets as well as reporting network assessment metrics that can be included in their annual reporting to the NSF.
