Supported 2 inter-campus projects involving ANR-Lab members
Two projects involving ANR-Lab team won the competition of the academic personnel reserve for the implementation of inter-campus initiatives aimed at developing the university environment – the projects “From Search to Analysis: A Complete Guide to Working with Scientific Literature” and “HSE R Meetup: Meetups in the R Programming Language”.
The project “From Search to Analysis: A Complete Guide to Working with Scientific Literature” includes two stages of seminars aimed at developing skills for effective work with scientific literature. It is aimed at developing the participants’ skills for effective search, critical assessment and analytical processing of scientific literature based on modern bibliometric and digital tools, including databases, bibliometric analysis tools, artificial intelligence and methods of visualizing scientific knowledge. The project manager is Anna Semenova, a teacher of the Data Analytics and Social Statistics (DASS) program and a graduate of this program, and the participants are laboratory members, Deputy Head Irina Pavlova and Research Fellow Natalia Matveeva. Head of the laboratory Daria Maltseva is an expert in this project.
Scientometric and bibliometric analysis is one of the most important research areas of ANR-Lab, and we have long had the idea of launching a course or seminar dedicated to this topic. Thanks to winning the competition, this idea will become possible at the university level, and then, as we hope, an additional education course for external students will grow on its basis. As an expert of the Personnel Reserve, I would like to note that many interesting applications aimed at improving the academic environment of the university were submitted to the competition! Of course, I am very glad that in the end even two applications related to the activities of our laboratory members were supported.
The project “HSE R Meetup: meetups in the R programming language” is aimed at developing participants’ skills in working with the R program. The team leader is Yulia Moreva, a member of the Ronald Franklin Inglehart Laboratory for Comparative Social Research. Irina Pavlova is an expert in this project. This initiative is a logical continuation of the project that Irina and her colleagues were engaged in during their participation in the Administrative Personnel Reserve in 2024-2025.
This project brought together a unique team of researchers, teachers, and administrative staff from different disciplines and HSE campuses. During the ACR for 2024-2025, we successfully held more than a dozen events on three HSE campuses in a hybrid format – offline at one of the university campuses and simultaneously online. In total, the number of meetup participants has already exceeded several hundred people, and our Telegram channel has already gathered more than 700 subscribers. This is quite a large number for a very specialized community. The team that worked on this project at the ACR continues to work on it in a new capacity as an official academic inter-campus initiative. The project is aimed at holding regular inter-campus events for learning and discussing the R programming language in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm and online. It is worth noting that this initiative is aimed at developing the so-called R-community within HSE – a community interested in using the R programming language for data analysis.
We invite you to subscribe to our resources and follow the announcements. Events for both initiatives will start with the beginning of the new academic year.
