Organizing Oceanographic Infrastructure: The Work of Making a Software Pipeline Repurposable

Drawing from a longitudinal case study, we inspect the activities of an expanding team of scientists and their collaborators as they sought to develop a novel software pipeline that “worked” both for themselves and for their wider community. We argue that these two tasks — making the software work for themselves and a…

Time for Historicism in CSCW: An Invitation

This paper contributes to the development of an under-utilized area of focus for CSCW research and design: history. The design and evaluation of technology, as practiced in the field, has positioned CSCW as a largely forward-looking community. The enduring ‘presentism’ and lack of historical view threatens to leave ou…

The New Reality of Reproducibility: The Role of Data Work in Scientific Research

Although reproducibility--the idea that a valid scientific experiment can be repeated with similar results--is integral to our understanding of good scientific practice, it has remained a difficult concept to define precisely. Across scientific disciplines, the increasing prevalence of large datasets, and the computat…

Data Integration as Coordination: The Articulation of Data Work in an Ocean Science Collaboration

Recent CSCW research on the collaborative design and development of research infrastructures for the natural sciences has increasingly focused on the challenges of open data sharing. This qualitative study describes and analyzes how multidisciplinary, geographically distributed ocean scientists are integrating highly…

Gig Platforms, Tensions, Alliances and Ecosystems: An Actor-Network Perspective

The algorithm-based management exercised by digital gig platforms contributes to information and power asymmetries that are pervasive in the gig economy. Although the design of these platforms may foster unbalanced relationships, in this paper, we outline how freelancers and clients on the gig platform Upwork can leve…

The Gig Economy and Information Infrastructure: The Case of the Digital Nomad Community

Ongoing discussions of the gig economy have focused on the critical aspect of digital mediation, and in particular the role of applications and platforms such as Uber or TaskRabbit. We extend this discussion by considering more decentralized contexts of gig economy, in which individuals do not rely on a single dominan…
