This groundbreaking, open access volume analyses and compares data
practices across several fields through the analysis of specific
cases of data journeys. It brings together leading scholars in the
philosophy, history and social studies of science to achieve two
goals: tracking the travel of data across different spaces, times
and domains of research practice; and documenting how such journeys
affect the use of data as evidence and the knowledge being
produced. The volume captures the opportunities, challenges and
concerns involved in making data move from the sites in which they
are originally produced to sites where they can be integrated with
other data, analysed and re-used for a variety of purposes. The
in-depth study of data journeys provides the necessary ground to
examine disciplinary, geographical and historical differences and
similarities in data management, processing and interpretation,
thus identifying the key conditions of possibility for the
widespread data sharing associated with Big and Open Data. The
chapters are ordered in sections that broadly correspond to
different stages of the journeys of data, from their generation to
the legitimisation of their use for specific purposes.
Additionally, the preface to the volume provides a variety of
alternative "roadmaps" aimed to serve the different interests and
entry points of readers; and the introduction provides a
substantive overview of what data journeys can teach about the
methods and epistemology of research.
