    What happens when a diverse group of youth ages 11 through 14 are introduced to data science using authentic, public, multivariate data in an out-of-school context assuming no special prerequisite knowledge? We designed three 10-hour Data Club modules in which real-world data and the questions students asked of such data drove the learning process. Each module was grounded in a topic that youth connected with at a personal level. Youth learned how to use a free online data platform that made it easy to rearrange, group, filter, and graph data. Within the progression of the module, we used youths’ own questions, data moves, and data visualizations to engage them in critical inquiry and foster productive habits of mind for working with data. Our goal was for youth to emerge from the Data Clubs experience feeling empowered to interact with, ask questions of, and reason about and from data.

    While data are the backbone for home Internet of Things’ (IoT) functional and economic model, data remain elusive and abstract for home dwellers. In response, we present the Odd Interpreters (OIs): a collection of three artifacts that materialize alternative ways of engaging with IoT data in home environments. The OIs recast home data as imaginative sounds (Broadcast), fading fabric (Soft Fading), and cookie recipes (Data Bakery) with the intent to reveal the hidden human labor and material infrastructures of data and to critique data's assumed objectivity. Following a Research-through-Design approach, we unpack design events that mark our process for making the Odd Interpreters. We conclude with a discussion around the need for pluralizing data encounters, the tactic of designing between illusion and precision, and a reflection on living with the prototypes while designing.

    Every project in digital and computational history of science starts with the collection of data. Depending on the research project, subject of study, and other factors, data can be comprised of a variety of different types such as full-texts, images, audio, video, or bibliographic metadata. Often publications and project reports describe a project’s results and the employed methods and algorithms, but few publications discuss the challenges of the initial data collection process or how it fits into the overall research data life cycle. In this paper, we discuss a concrete research data life cycle and take a look at the difficulties it involves. Furthermore, we explore the strategies and challenges of data collection, and the question of comparability of datasets.

    Drawing on previous research into the value of developing and sharing data stories on social media, we use this paper to examine how practitioners address a spectrum of interests and concerns in relation to their own data literacies within this media form. To do so, we analyzed 107 data story videos from TikTok and Instagram to explore what practices and communication techniques are apparent in social media data stories that exhibit features of data literacy. Through our analysis, we uncovered a series of digital storytelling techniques (e.g., speaking to the camera, using a green screen) that supported the creators’ data science practices and communicative goals. This study contributes to the discourse on social media's role in data storytelling and literacy, providing guidance for future research and implications for the design of new data literacy learning experiences.

    The problem of estimating the size of a population based on a subset of individuals observed across multiple data sources is often referred to as capture-recapture or multiple-systems estimation. This is fundamentally a missing data problem, where the number of unobserved individuals represents the missing data. As with any missing data problem, multiple-systems estimation requires users to make an untestable identifying assumption in order to estimate the population size from the observed data. If an appropriate identifying assumption cannot be found for a data set, no estimate of the population size should be produced based on that data set, as models with different identifying assumptions can produce arbitrarily different population size estimates—even with identical observed data fits. Approaches to multiple-systems estimation often do not explicitly specify identifying assumptions. This makes it difficult to decouple the specification of the model for the observed data from the identifying assumption and to provide justification for the identifying assumption. We present a re-framing of the multiple-systems estimation problem that leads to an approach which decouples the specification of the observed-data model from the identifying assumption, and discuss how common models fit into this framing. This approach takes advantage of existing software and facilitates various sensitivity analyses. We demonstrate our approach in a case study estimating the number of civilian casualties in the Kosovo war.
