“…Technological advances provided by data repositories and metadata standards and the increasing influence that open access advocates have had on scholarly communication to be more open with the scientific process [9] have helped promote an increase in data-sharing behaviour and have fostered additional expectations about data availability. Many of these expectations are fuelled by institutional pressures, including mandatory policies from universities, journal publishers and funding agencies to make research data more accessible.…”

Institutional environments, comprising regulative pressures by funding agencies and journal publishers, and institutional resources, including the availabilities of data repositories and standards for metadata, function as important determinants in scientists’ data-sharing norms, attitudes and behaviours. This research investigates how these functions influence biological scientists’ data-sharing norms and how the data-sharing norms influence their data-sharing behaviours mediated by attitudes towards data sharing. The research model was developed based on the integration of institutional theory and theory of planned behaviour. The proposed research model was validated based on a total of 608 responses from a national survey conducted in the USA. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) was employed to analyse the survey data. Results show how institutional pressures by funding agencies and journals and the availabilities of data repository and metadata standards all have significant influences on data-sharing norms, which have significant influences on data-sharing behaviours, as mediated by attitudes towards data sharing.

“…Georgina Born andAndrew Barry (2010, 2013) have discussed the ascendance of "Art-Science" as an increasingly preferred model for research activity in the university arts and social sciences (e.g. Papadopoulos, 2015). In the UK, funders like The Wellcome Trusts and the European Arts Council are essential financial supports for teams of anthropologists, engineers, entrepreneurs, etc.…”

This paper is about the “Anthropocene Festival,” a concept we develop to explore proliferating and multi-faceted arts-based events, happenings, unconferences, and workshops which collectively model novel forms of environmental governance. The Anthropocene Festival mobilizes disruptive and creative possibilities at the juncture of digital and ecological life, while simultaneously embodying developments in the institutional form of green capitalism. To argue these points, we locate the Anthropocene Festival within a proliferation of new institutional environmentalisms, including biennales, hackathons, and initiatives in the neoliberal university. Next, we provide a survey of recent examples, observing across them an increasingly hegemonic template of environmental sociality—or model of collective interaction—rooted in digital technologies. Next, we discuss two examples of environmental governance propositions expressive of the Anthropocene Festival ethos: (1) Climate Symphony, a project that uses sonification techniques to facilitate new understandings of climate change, (2) Terra0, an art project which reconceptualizes forest ecology and non-human agency using blockchain technology. We conclude by arguing that the ontological generativity of the Anthropocene Festival arises from the dissenting approaches to conventional models of environmental governance it cultivates, but that the Anthropocene Festival does not necessarily carry a radical political valence because of this.

“…Social epigenetics is a heavily evolving field of research, not only because it is relatively new, but because models, metaphors and procedures for incorporating social sciences into epigenetic research (and vice versa) have yet to be defined and agreed. Social epigenetics is a field of technoscience in the making, where processes of standardization and communication take centre stage in acceptance and consolidation amongst mainstream researchers and everyday life (Bowker and Star, 1999;Busch, 2011;Papadopoulos, 2011aPapadopoulos, , 2015. However, truly interdisciplinary integration of social science within this purported 'science of social science' also needs to go beyond traditional anthropological commentary and critical observation.…”

Epigenetics has considerable potential to transform social science by embedding mutually regulative reciprocal connections between biological and social processes within the human activities it studies. This paper highlights common epigenetic methods and outlines practical considerations in the design of 'social epigenetics' research addressing the identification of biomolecular pathways, statistical inference of causality, conceptualization of the environment as a biochemical event, heritability of epigenetic alterations and intergenerational accountability, and concept of time implied by attempts to capture complex, non-linear gene-environment interactions. Finally, we reflect on the social epigenome as a conceptual space and try to identify barriers to translation, and practical and ethical issues raised by epigenetics research. In order for social epigenetics and social science to contribute to the emergence of this putative 'science of social science' and to capture meaningful human experience they will both need to change significantly.
