The document discusses recognizing the labor involved in creating datasets and facilitating deeper acknowledgement of this contribution. It proposes tracking metrics for datasets and non-traditional research outputs to provide more context on how research is used. This would include metrics like citations, altmetrics showing social media mentions, and indicators of datasets being used in other works. Recognizing dataset creation better could help address researchers' fears regarding the risks of openly sharing their data.

No stories without evidence, no evidence without storiesCameron Neylon
Talk given at Sydney University on 4 August 2015.
Across many parts of our lives we are faced with the increasing availability of data to support decision making. With every element of the research process moving online, there are many new sources of data, as well as improved old sources of data, that can provide information on the performance, value and use of research and researchers.
But there is a problem. The proliferation of proxy data, and their naive equation with such weakly defined concepts as “quality” and “excellence”, have lead to a reliance on rankings and quantitative measures as institutional targets. More than this the adoption of these instrumental targets has lead us away from a critical discussion of institutional values, indeed of what the institution is for.
I will argue that it is only by moving away from such vague terms as “quality”, “excellence” and “impact” and focussing on institutional values and a well articulated mission that institutions of scholarship will continue to be relevant for the future. It is through interrogating the goals of the institution that the enormous potential resource of data on the research enterprise can be realised. Using the data effectively will allow us a window on how knowledge actually moves and is used. In combination with a clear sense of institutional goals this provides great opportunities for institutions to differentiate themselves from the pack.

Rediscovering Relevance for the Science & Engineering Library - presentation ...Patrick "Tod" Colegrove
Faculty members across the Sciences & Engineering agree: the e-resources of the library are used more heavily today than their print counterparts were fifteen years ago. Learn how one library has rediscovered relevance to its academic communities by removing over half of the printed collections from the physical space.
The DeLaMare Library was the "beautiful library", with impeccable collections, located in a historic building at the crossroads of the departments it serves on the university campus, and had undergone a complete retrofit and remodel in 1997; yet 12 years later, students were only occasionally seen browsing its collections, with faculty only dropping by to put materials on course reserve. This paper is a case study of how the library, after in-depth analysis of holdings and close observation of end-user patterns, made seemingly radical changes that have resulted in an over five-fold increase in gate count in less than two years; rather than a quiet repository of books, the library has become a hotbed of learning and knowledge creation, with students and faculty driving the need to more than double the number of computer workstations and library open hours. Details shared will include numerous low to no-cost ideas that have proven effective in front-line advocacy for the Science & Engineering Library, and enabled the library to meet the increased demand without corresponding increases in library staff.

#NASIG2020 presentation
Librarians are working hard to understand how much money their university is spending on open access article processing fees (APCs), and how much of what they subscribe to is available as OA. This information is useful when making subscription decisions, considering Read and Publish agreements, rethinking library open access budgets, and designing Institution-wide OA policies.
This session will talk concretely about how to calculate the impact of Open Access on *your* university. It will provide an overview on how to estimate the amount of money spent across a university on Open Access fees: we will discuss underlying concepts behind calculating OA article-processing fee (APC) spend and give an overview of useful data sources, including Unsub.

How to Calculate OA APC Spend for Your UniversityHeather Piwowar
Universities are hungry to know how much they spend on Open Access fees. This data is important to planning transformative and read and publish agreements, forming library strategy, and understanding scholarly communication on your campus. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been easy to calculate how much your university is spending on Open Access.
Learn how recent developments in data sources and tools have made this easier during this webinar. We will discuss the underlying concepts behind calculating OA article-processing fee (APC) spend, and provide you with paths to calculate the Open Access fees paid by your institution. ALCTS webinar.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

most of us would agree that science progresses by standing on shoulders of those who came before. Or by kneeling on their backs. Or clambering up their work any
other way we can.

making their shoulders broader they enable others to become top tog at their expense.

A CV is sort of bland, don't you think? It has no context of use.
We can see one version of a more useful future comes from a tool called total-Impact. Continuing a project that started as a hackathon at the Open Society Foundation
workshop Beyond Impact organized by Cameron Neylon here in the UK last spring, Jason Priem, me, and a few other people have been working on a tool called total-impact.
http://total-impact.org

can drill in
The metrics are citations, but also altmetrics. PLoS has done some of the ground breaking work in this space with article-level citations, but a lot of other metrics are available
also...various indications that others have found your research worth bookmarking, or blogging, or referencing on Wikipedia.
41. http://total-impact.org
Also non-traditional research products like datasets.
It doesn't currently look for dataset identifiers in public R packages, but it could, for example, as indication of use.
This makes a “live CV” if you will, giving post-publication context to research output.
48. I'll splash by a few graphs of preliminary research findings.... come find me or my blog if you want more info.
Using manual annotation we are starting to be able to estimate third party reuse. In terms of raw numbers, with extrapolations
49. Teasing out use by the original authors from use by 3rd parties who probably only got access to the data because of the repository. Tools that support data citation will help
this.
50. We have observed reuse of at 35%
of GEO datasets submitted in 2005.
And distribution of the data use across all of the datasets in the repository. Is it 1% of the datasets that
drive all the use? Nope, it looks like often use is distributed across a broad population of datasets.

Data archiving is a good investment.
Nature letter to the editor: 473, p285.
http://researchremix.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/nature-letter/
This sort of information is very valuable for repositories when they want to make their case.
As I said, right now we can get some of this information through a lot of painful manual searching
across the internet. Data citations will help reduce some of this burden.
52. Indispensible
What repositories really want, though, though -- correct me if I’m wrong -- is to show that they are indispensable. That they generate new, profound science not otherwise
possible. That they are a great financial investment in scientific progress. This requires knowing more than just a citation count, it requires knowing the context of reuse. This
means we need access to the full text of the paper that cites the data.
54. http://www.flickr.com/photos/n2artscapes/3527520456/
They want to know the impact the data had on society. Did it facilitate innovation, reduce discrimination, create jobs, save the rainforest, increase our GDP.
That kind of tracking is beyond what any of us know how to do yet :)
We're going to need digital tracking technology that as far as I know isn't available yet but I'm sure people are working on. Google analytics meets digital RF-ID tags.... I
dunno... but I do know we need it. Furthermore, we need these digital tracking mechanisms to be affordable and open, to facilitate mashups.
55. Ok, so with that sort of future vision for tracking, what do we need as a scholarly ecosystem need to power this future world?
56. innovation and
experimentation
We need innovation and experimentation.
58. open access to citation data
We can't just rely on Scopus, Thomson, and Google Scholar.
Those are only three players, They good at what they do and have been invaluable, but they can't possibly be as nimble as a whole bunch of startups.
It is taking them a long time to come out with a data tracking tool. Why? Probably because they have an ambitious vision and need time to fit it into their other product
offerings. That isn’t a bad thing... but at the same time, Some of the rest of us would be happy with iterating on a quick and dirty solution.
We need more competition in this space. The barrier to entry is extrodinarily high because of course reference lists are almost all behind copyright and paywalls.... but open
access publications gives us a toehold.
59. open access to full text
Open access to full text.
Open access also gives us a toehold into citation context information.
A citation to a dataset tells us that the dataset played some role in that new research paper. What role? Was it used to validate a new method? Detect errors? Was it combined
with other datasets to solve a problem that was otherwise intractable? The answers to these questions are fundamental to what funders and others need to know about impact.
It won't be easy to derive them from the text of the paper, but I strongly believe it is possible.
60. open access to other metrics
Open access to other use.
We need broad-based metrics... not just citations, but blog posts about data, slides that include R and STATA tutorials about data, bookmarks to data on bookmarking sites.
altmetrics. If you run a data repository, make your download stats publicly available. We frankly don't know what all of this info means yet, but we didn't know what citations
to papers meant 50 years ago either. We'll all figure it out, the more data the better.
