Social Networks in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services 2016-2021

The data includes a compilation of group memberships for experts appointed to the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the Future Earth Programme and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). The data was collected as part of the Government's analysis, assessment and research activities (VN TEAS) project on the state and potential of Finnish science diplomacy. The data includes scientists and experts formally nominated and participating in the assessment processes of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) that took place between 2016 and 2021. In addition, the dataset includes information on the scientists appointed in 2020 to two international scientific organisations closely associated with the IPCC and IPBES, Future Earth and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). The data collected is presented as an undirected, bivariate network analysis matrix. For each respondent, it is indicated whether the respondent belongs to the mentioned forums. For IPCC and IPBES, national contact points and secretariat representatives are excluded, and for Future Earth and WCRP, secretariat representatives and numerous occasional volunteers from the networks are excluded. For Future Earth and WCRP, only researchers whose details were available on the organisations' websites and who participated in forums that support the evaluation of research data or evaluation work in writing (excluding forums that are only networking and do not evaluate or produce data) have been included. In the observation matrix, each individual has been marked only once, i.e. any duplications have been removed. The membership matrix can be used to analyse the relationships between the experts appointed to write and peer review IPCC and IPBES reports, and hence also between the different review processes or forums of the organisations (membership of forums is indicated in the data with values 1 or 0, i.e. either a relationship exists or does not exist). There are 101 forums listed in the data. The data can be analysed using various network analysis tools, e.g. unidimensionally for relationships within the IPCC, such as which and which types of organisations are key background organisations for IPCC experts, or bidimensionally for relationships between all four groups of actors. The networks created by the organisations can also be compared with each other. From the data, basic information (such as frequencies of occurrence) can be calculated for the countries or groups of countries most represented in the networks. The background variables included the respondent's expert status, nationality, organisational membership and presumed gender. For those researchers who have membership of more than one forum, the role that is the most responsible of all the roles of the person is noted.

本数据集包含了对任命参与政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）、政府间生物多样性及生态系统服务科学政策平台（IPBES）、未来地球计划以及世界气候研究计划（WCRP）工作的专家群体归属的汇编。该数据集的收集是芬兰政府关于科学外交现状与潜力的分析、评估与研究活动（VN TEAS）项目的一部分。数据涵盖了2016年至2021年间，正式提名并参与IPCC和IPBES评估过程的科学家和专家的信息。此外，数据集还包含了2020年任命于与IPCC和IPBES紧密关联的两个国际科学组织的科学家信息，这两个组织分别为未来地球和世界气候研究计划（WCRP）。收集的数据以无向、二元网络分析矩阵的形式呈现。对于每一位受访者，均标明其是否属于上述论坛。对于IPCC和IPBES，排除了国家联络点和秘书处代表，而对于未来地球和WCRP，则排除了秘书处代表和众多网络中的不定期志愿者。对于未来地球和WCRP，仅包括那些在其组织网站上可查到详细信息并参与支持研究数据或评估工作写作的论坛（不包括仅用于网络交流而不进行评估或产生数据的论坛）的研究人员。在观测矩阵中，每位个体仅标记一次，即任何重复都被去除。会员矩阵可用于分析被任命撰写和同行评审IPCC及IPBES报告的专家之间的关系，以及不同组织评估过程或论坛之间的关系（数据中通过值1或0表示论坛的会员资格，即存在或不存在关系）。数据中列出了101个论坛。该数据可以使用各种网络分析工具进行分析，例如单维度分析IPCC内部的关系，例如哪些以及哪些类型的组织是IPCC专家的关键背景组织，或双维度分析所有四组参与者之间的关系。组织创建的网络也可以相互比较。从数据中，可以计算出在网络上代表度最高的国家或国家集团的基基本信息（如发生频率）。背景变量包括受访者的专家身份、国籍、组织成员资格以及推测的性别。对于在多个论坛中具有会员资格的研究人员，记录了其所有角色中最负责的角色。
