• Q1 Why have researchers been so ready to
campaign against for-profit academic
publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, Wiley-
Blackwell, and Taylor & Francis/Informa, but
not against for-profit platforms such as
Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and Google
Scholar?

• Social Platforms came after the publication
process
• Lack of information about copyright transfert and
right to reuse
– 86% of french researchers don’t know what Social
networks policy is (Couperin Study)
• Nothing to pay : free to use
• Acurate feedback
• Enhanced citation count+ 73 % ?

Richard Price (Academia CEO) : R&D institutions
that can improve the quality of their decisions by 10-
20%.’ Price envisions developing an algorithm which
“would tell an R&D company which are the most
impactful papers in a given research area in the last
24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or any time period’.

Insert the document in OA repository
• essential functionnalities
– Long term preservation ,
– link to institutional information systems (assessment)
In Academia.edu just put the link and the abstract

commercial platforms academics should
support instead?

A coalition 40 world’s key scholarly publishers,
platforms, libraries, and technology
organizations are coming together to create an
open, interoperable annotation layer over
their content.
Startup
Open source platform

Vivo
• Connect – Share- Discover http://vivoweb.org/
VIVO is an open social platform (from Cornell Univ.)
more than 100 organizations around the world

• Q4 Could they take inspiration from the
editors of Lingua (now Glossa) and start their
own scholar-owned and controlled platform
cooperatives for the sharing of research?

Q4 Could they take inspiration from the editors
of Lingua (now Glossa) and start their own scholar-
owned and controlled platform cooperatives for the
sharing of research?
Or are such ‘technologies of the self’ or ‘political
technologies of individuals’, as we might call them
following Michel Foucault, merely part of a wider
process by which academics are being transformed
into connected individuals who endeavour to
generate social, public and professional value by
acting as microentrepreneurs of their own selves
and lives?
P. AventurierWhy Are We Not Boycotting Academia.edu? 29
Trend : Researchers want to collaborate
online (Van Noorden , Nature 2014)
But sharing alone is not enough.
Knowledge only becomes useful when we can
• distinguish between relevant and less relevant
information,
• discuss aspects of the information
• annotate and improve on ideas,
• devise new approaches and collaborate online.
open science : free and unrestricted access to information and use
interactive media to collaborate online

CONCLUSION
P. AventurierWhy Are We Not Boycotting Academia.edu? 36
Solution
• Work on researcher/laboratory numerical
identity
• Work on scholarly communication
– Write blog post about your research
– Education in writing
• Deposit work in open access repository
• Work with tools respecting Open Science
– Example : Vivo
– Web annotation tools
• Create an Orcid Profile

AventurierWhy Are We Not Boycotting Academia.edu? 28 Q4 Could they take inspiration from the editors of Lingua (now Glossa) and start their own scholar- owned and controlled platform cooperatives for the sharing of research? Or are such ‘technologies of the self’ or ‘political technologies of individuals’, as we might call them following Michel Foucault, merely part of a wider process by which academics are being transformed into connected individuals who endeavour to generate social, public and professional value by acting as microentrepreneurs of their own selves and lives?
  • 29. P. AventurierWhy Are We Not Boycotting Academia.edu? 29 Trend : Researchers want to collaborate online (Van Noorden , Nature 2014) But sharing alone is not enough. Knowledge only becomes useful when we can • distinguish between relevant and less relevant information, • discuss aspects of the information • annotate and improve on ideas, • devise new approaches and collaborate online. open science : free and unrestricted access to information and use interactive media to collaborate online Olijhoek, Tom - Scientific social networks are the future of science
