Abstract
This document collects a selection of papers written by master’s students in the context of
the “Research Methods” course common to the Master’s Programmes in Sound and Music
Computing, Intelligent and Interactive Systems, Computational Biomedical Engineering
and Wireless Communications, of the Information and Communication Technology
Department at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, during the 2018-2019 academic year.
The papers were written as part of an integrative assignment entitled “Meta-Research”,
where students were expected to do a small piece of research about a transversal research
topic. Students worked in teams and selected a topic, among the following suggested
themes: Open Science, Social Impact of Science and Technology, Research-Industry
Collaboration and PhD Process and Life. A refinement of the topic, the particular research
questions to study and the methodology to apply were proposed by the students and
discussed with the course educators in tutoring sessions. A total of 14 papers were written
by the students and presented in the classroom. Assessment included peer-review by
students during the presentations, through a conference management program, assessment
by the educators, and self-assessment. The results from the peer-review were considered
to recognize two of the papers with “Best Paper Awards”. These papers can be read in
pages 29 and 109.
