Uzzo, S. M., & Cramer, C. B. (2019). Networks and Data: Adventures in Literacy and Learning. In Proceedings of the 63rd Annual Meeting of the ISSS-2019 Corvallis, OR, USA.
As the understanding of science increasingly requires thinking about complex interconnected systems and data-driven ideas (such as ocean science, genomics, ecosystems ecology and social, political and economic networks), there is a need for basic literacy in data and network science for all people. This paper will cover efforts to build consensus between the network and data science interdisciplinary communities of practice for developing essential concepts and core ideas related to both network and data literacy. The authors will discuss the processes with which these literacies were developed and distributed, and important factors that contributed to their success.
