A quick glance at the changing impact business models of scholarly communication that I see from Stockholm University. Researchers are increasingly considering usage of scholarly output as important impact and a decreasing value in traditional citations. This is a bottom-up researcher-driven change that aims at result-oriented dialogue and collaboratino rather than being affiliated with a publisher and journal. What is the strategy of communication research at ABB Corporate Research in this perspective?

Trends to Support the New Impact
Business Models
Left:
a top down perspective where traditional actors in Scholarly Communication wants to preserve status quo.
Swedish Research Council - demands that funded research is applicable and Open Access – but still only counts citations.
Quality Controlled Data – however weak data – most channnels researchers use are excluded from databases WoS and Scopus
Nervous status quo keepers – sit tight.
Small adjustments
Right:
a bottom-up perspective where researchers want to see real-time re-use and ”talk” about their research.
Citation were long the only mechanism to measure impact. Not anymore.
Angry researchers refusing to work for the traditional publishers
Researchers want prestige and recognition, but not to any cost. More and mor focus on research being applied on something that matters to someone.
Not only traditional quality control, but making sure research is used for something.
Preserving a system of circulating articles

Researcher need to understand what people are saying about us and that their research has value for something concrete. Therefor we cannot rely only on exclusive company-ruled information.
Follow the talk! Spread the word.
I do not know what ABB wants.
ABB is funding research, collaborates with universities, and publishing research (most conference papers). What is ABB aiming at? What does ABB want with its research? I assume attract best researchers/coworkers, making the brand known?
I know what researchers want: to be recognized and getting prestige for high quality research. With that in mind I must assume ABB wants that too for it’s researchers. I know Ericsson wants that, but also find out to what extent their projects really was well invested money. Are reports re-used or not within the company?
Do ABB want others to talk about their research and top notch results? What is the strategy?
Evaluating a BI solution for tracking usage – not plagiarism etc.
There are many ways to study the life of research results.
Not to feed our department heads with information. But to put the information to those who really should have it: the individual researcher.
Researchers well informed decision making is what is important to scholarly communication.
Where are your readers? If choosing between two conferences, perhaps you should pick the one where your audience is? Or where it is not?

Does not mean working against traditional publishers, but to speed up their focus on making research count in any way it is performed or published.
