Beyond Authorship: Crediting Contributors to Arts-Integrated Research with CRediT-FAIR
Dec 6, 2024 3:30-4:30pm Eastern
While most academic publications use an authorship model, an alternative approach is contributorship. Contributorship is more inclusive and recognizes the broader set of individuals that contribute to and enable knowledge production–a boon for arts-integrated and community-engaged research! The most widely adopted contributorship model, CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy), offers a high-level taxonomy that recognizes fourteen contributor roles. However, these roles are designed with bench and lab science in mind and do not account for some of the work involved in other collaborative research. In response, Ground Works has collaboratively created a version of CRediT adapted for arts-integrated research: CRediT-FAIR. For CRediT-FAIR, we have both augmented the description of some of the original fourteen roles and added four new roles to the taxonomy so as to better include arts and arts-research practices. In this webinar, we will explore the taxonomy itself and the Ground Works pilot of it for our special edition “Creating Knowledge in Common,” which features academic/community partnerships that center the arts and design.

Speakers
Daragh Byrne
Daragh Byrne is a founding member and Technical Director of the award winning open-access peer-review multimedia journal for arts-integrative scholarship, Ground Works. He has a PhD in Computer Applications from Dublin City University and is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture. He holds courtesy appointments in the Human Computer Interaction Institute and the School of Design. He co-directs the TRACES Lab on educational technology.
Situated in Carnegie Mellon Architecture’s Computational Design program, his teaching and research is grounded in computing and technology and the relationships to interactions, experiences, space and arts-integrative practices. His work explores two main aspects of emerging technology. Firstly, the role that digital tools and environments play in augmenting learning and creativity at the intersection of art, design and technology. Secondly, he examines the issues surrounding emerging technology by making them tangible through technology prototyping.
Recent work includes an NSF-funded project (#1736189) focused on augmenting documentation in maker-based learning. This resulted in IoRef, a creativity support tool for electronics and physical computing. Other work includes Spooky Technology, a multiyear design research project that has produced an edited volume, coursework, exhibitions, prototypes and research papers.
Veronica Dittman Stanich
Veronica Dittman Stanich holds a PhD in Dance Studies from the Ohio State University. Her interview- and observation-based research investigating audience responses to postmodern dance has been published in Dance Chronicle and Dance Research, and presented to the Congress on Research in Dance. Her work on the a2ru research team has resulted in workshops, whitepapers, and other resources concerning arts integration impacts; issues around tenure and promotion for the arts, design, and interdisciplinary practices; and interdisciplinary collaboration. Veronica is the Managing Editor of Ground Works, a2ru’s online platform for arts-integrated research.
