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 2019-2020 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:
- Biases in technology research
- Research methods and evaluation of technology
- Responsible research and public engagement
- Doctoral studies
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 13 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 and assessment by the educators.
