Item Assessing for Developmental Language Disorder in the Context of African American English(Pearson Clinical Assessments, 2023) Francois, Isabelle; Lapka, Stefanie; Berstein Ratner, Nan; Mills, Monique T.Structured Abstract. Clinical Question: For young AAE speakers (P), how useful is the Developmental Sentence Scoring (DSS) compared with Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn) in identifying developmental language disorder (DLD) in the presence of African American English (AAE) ? Method: Structured Review. Study Sources: PsycInfo®, Education Source, Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Communication & Mass Media Complete (CMMC), PubMed, Scopus, ASHAWire . Search Terms: (1) African American English (including African American Language AND African American Vernacular English AND Black English AND AAE AND AAVE), (2) child, AND (3) language assessment (including language testing AND speech evaluation). Number of Included Studies: 3. Primary Results: DSS and IPSyn appear to be dialect-neutral measures of morphosyntax in young AAE speakers DSS was better able to detect morphosyntactic differences between children with typical language development (TLD) and children with DLD. DSS and its variant, Black English Sentence Scoring (BESS), appear to be clinically useful language sampling analysis tools. Conclusions: Available evidence suggests that DSS is a more useful clinical tool over IPSyn for evaluating DLD within the context of AAE because it provides the opportunity to evaluate mastery and accuracy of grammatical features and not only the presence of structures.Item Creating and Using Your ORCID iD(2023-04-12) Lapka, StefanieHistorically a particular author's contribution to the scientific literature or publications has been hard to recognize as most personal names are not unique, they can change (such as with marriage), have cultural differences in name order, contain inconsistent use of first-name abbreviations and employ different writing systems. ORCID addresses this problem by providing a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID iD) that you own and control, and that distinguishes you from every other researcher. Creating an ORCID iD allows authors to obtain credit for their work – grants, publications, peer review, affiliations, and more. Stefanie Lapka, Health Sciences Librarian, will teach how to create your ORCID iD and set up and manage your ORCID record.Item Developing Biosketches: How to Create a Biosketch for NIH/NSF Grant Proposals(2023-03-22) Lapka, StefanieBiosketches are a key component of most major grant proposal packages, highlighting the skills and experiences of the principal investigator (PI), key personnel, and core project team members. Similar to a curriculum vitae, biosketches are used by grant proposal reviewers to assess whether the researcher(s) has demonstrated the ability to successfully complete the project they are proposing. Biosketches must conform to specific formats, both in terms of content and required ordering, with requirements varying by funding agency and project type. The National Institute of Health (NIH) Biosketch is the most common format. Stefanie Lapka, health sciences librarian, will teach how to create NIH Biosketches that adhere to agency requirements and connect to publication histories using the tools SciENcv (Science Experts Network Curriculum Vitae), My Bibliography, and ORCID.Item EndNote 101(2021-10-20) Lapka, StefanieEndNote Online is a citation manager that can be used by researchers to format, organize, and share citations. Stefanie Lapka, Health Sciences Librarian at UH Libraries, will cover how to create an account, utilize plug-ins, add and organize references, and cite while you write.Item Researcher and Author Identifiers, Profiles and Social Networks: Maximize Your Impact!(2023-02-22) Lapka, StefanieBy increasing your online profile and engagement, you may be able to influence your success rate in the competitive research and academic environment. How to demonstrate research impact and engagement varies widely by discipline context and specific purpose (i.e. grant application or promotion application). This webinar explains how to make your research and publications more accessible and reduce ambiguity between you and other researchers. Stefanie Lapka, health sciences librarian, compares four researcher/author identifiers, plus provide a brief introduction to other web and funding profiles to consider.
