Hi folks,<br class="">
<br class="">
Please skim, preferably read, this article prior to our next call where we will be discussing the “credit use case” for the "when to identify” question.<br class="">
<br class="">
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class="">Scroggins, M. J., and I. V. Pasquetto. 2020. “Labor out of place: On the varieties and valences of (in)visible labor in data-intensive science.” Engaging Science, Technology, and Society

I don’t think the abstract does the article justice. I found this sentence from the methods section more illustrative: "By making activities, rather than job classifications or place in the academic hierarchy, central to our analysis we demonstrate how the
everyday work of science cuts across received classifications and hierarchies.”<br class="">
<br class="">
In other words, they examine credit and recognition in data-intensive science from a fairly broad ethnographic corpus of observational science. Note also the movie-credits-style of acknowledgements at the end!<br class="">
<br class="">
It’s an intellectual article with big words but good messages. It took me a while to figure out what they meant by a “valence” of labor. I think they mean a combination of functions or elements in a job. I’m still trying to understand what the “contours of
an activity” are :-)

<div class="">The bottom line is that credit is a much more subjective use case than reproducibility. We’ll need to spend some time spelling out what we mean.</div>
