Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.How can we nurture more liveable worlds in today’s neoliberal academia and beyond?This collection revisits the notion of reflexivity from a science and technology studies (STS) perspective, asking how researchers are affected by, and affect, the worlds they engage with. Using experimental formats that challenge academic convention, the volume acknowledges the ‘dark sides’ of reflexivity, while insisting that it is nonetheless worthwhile striving for it.This volume is essential for anyone interested in creative, playful and always incomplete attempts to refresh reflexivity in research, and in developing more liveable worlds for ourselves and those our research engages with.

This book synthesizes existing research on human-centered data discovery, as well as the recommendations which exist for supporting the design of sustainable, user-centered data search systems. While information-seeking in various settings has been well-researched within computer and information science, not much is known about human-centered data discovery, or how people discover, understand and interact with data that others create. This is particularly relevant given the ever-increasing amounts of data being produced and made available, and the creation of data-specific discovery tools and systems. This book examines how people find the data they need, which search strategies and tools they use, how they understand data, and how search systems can be better designed to meet people’s needs.
