CSSP-TRCFS Talk on Exploring Implicit Grassroots Knowledge: Strategies and Insights for Fieldwork | 21st January at 03:00 PM
Abstract: Fieldwork is the cornerstone of social science research, providing a bridge between theoretical inquiry and the lived realities of communities – holders of grassroots and traditional knowledge and expertise. This talk delves into the nuances of fieldwork in the contemporary world, exploring its methodologies, challenges, and opportunities this complexity provides us with. Topics include the key elements of ethnographic research, participant observation, and conducting interviews as core tools for getting access and immersion into grassroots knowledge and gathering qualitative data. A particular focus will be given to understanding the role of main actors in the field, from gatekeepers and key informants to the broader community. The talk will offer practical strategies for accessing and engaging with field sites, especially in contexts that are geographically remote, culturally distinct, or socially closed. Additionally, attendees will learn some techniques to extract deep insights in a time-efficient manner, ensuring impactful outcomes even within constrained timelines. All it is based on live examples from actual fieldwork done by the presenter for research projects and fieldwork done in South Africa, Arctic cities, Siberia, and Russia's coal regions.

Scientists, researchers, academicians and students are involved in extensive research and publication work to produce new knowledge or a new interpretation of the existing knowledge base. The quality and quantity of this knowledge is popularly evaluated by using various quantitative metrics known as mapping tools and technologies. Many organisations, policy makers, and government agencies regularly conduct such analyses for various reasons, like ranking, funding, evaluations, project awards, rewards, etc. The evaluation process includes extracting large-scale research data, pre-processing and analysing. It requires both mathematical and computer skills to do effective analysis and presentation. This course has been developed, keeping all these parameters in mind, targeting people working or interested in the areas of Mapping Science/Scientometrics/Humanities & Social Sciences/Library & Information Science, Information Systems & Services professionals and the practitioners who are involved and aiming to do such analysis. The course will introduce the concepts of various assessment metrics of research output, data extraction, pre-processing, different visualisation tools, ethics of analysis, software for extraction, refining and analysis of data, etc.
The course also includes various case studies on quantitative assessment of Institutions, Authors, Journals, Domains, and Countries. Prior knowledge of mathematics, statistics, or programming is optional to take advantage of the contents of the course as it starts with the basics and helps understand the advanced concepts with easily understandable day-to-day examples. Some of the practical aspects of each concept covered in the course will be delivered in the RStudio. Other software like VOSviewer, Citespace, etc., will also be covered.
After successfully completing the course, the learners will be able to understand the concept as above. They will also be able to conduct and publish the assessment studies in reputed journals, conferences or as research reports or manuscripts in any other form. The course aims to give learners the skills necessary to utilise open-source environments like R to evaluate and map the scientific knowledge generated by researchers.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Faculty, Researchers, Post Graduate Students, Administrators, Policy Makers, Information Professionals, Library Science Professionals, etc.
