As a result of the advent of internet technologies supporting participation on the internet via blogs, wikis and other social networking approaches, chemists now have an opportunity to contribute to the growing chemistry content on the web. As scientists an important skill to develop is the ability to succinctly report in a published format the details of scientific experimentation. The Royal Society of Chemistry provides a number of online systems to share chemistry data, the most well known of these being the ChemSpider database. In parallel the ChemSpider SyntheticPages (CSSP) platform is an online publishing platform for scientists, and especially students, to publish the details of chemical syntheses that they have performed. Using the rich capabilities of internet platforms, including the ability to display interactive spectral data and movies, CSSP is an ideal environment for students to publish their work, especially syntheses that might not support mainstream publication.

Stop Press: Libraries' Role in the Future of PublishingDanny Kingsley
This was presented to the SLA2016 conference in Philadelphia on 12 June.
ABSTRACT: Libraries are moving from curators of bought content to providing access to research or industry outputs. This activity can range from the relatively informal process of dissemination through a repository to acting as publishers - through the hosting of research journals, bibliographies and newsletters to the provision of editorial services and advice. This 90 minute Master Class will look at different models of publishing in the library environment with several examples of publishing activity in different libraries. The session will start with a strategic overview of the need for libraries to actively engage in the dissemination of information created by their organisations. The discussion will cover the staffing implications including how to recruit and train for the required skills sets. Attendees will work through some of the issues that need to be considered if a library is interested in publishing, including some of the legal implications and the different software and technical platforms available. Ideas will be workshopped about ways to engage the institutional community and encourage uptake of services on offer. The class aims to provide practical information to allow attendees to make decisions about what services are achievable to offer their clients, both from a technical and a staffing perspective. Attendees who are currently publishing are actively encouraged to participate in the discussion.

Key note presentation given at ElPub2014, June 20 about the Digital Scholarship department and the work of the Digital Research Team and British Library Labs.
This is a presentation given to the RLUK 2016 conference held 9-11 March 2016 at the British Library.
Abstract: Before we challenge something it is helpful to understand it. In this talk Danny Kingsley will draw on a debate piece she recently co-authored that argued that open access has been systematically blamed for problems with the scholarly publishing system. This talk argues that amongst librarians, the knowledge of the scholarly communication system is even weaker than within the research community. As a library community we need to increase real understanding of the beast with which we dance. To do so requires a systematic change to the way librarians are educated, their professional development and a shift from managing the academic literature to participating in the generation of it. To not do so risks irrelevance into the future.
Reward, reproducibility and recognition in research - the case for going OpenDanny Kingsley
The is a keynote presentation for the Eleventh Annual Munin Conference on Scholarly Publishing http://site.uit.no/muninconf/
21 November 2016
The advent of the internet has meant that scholarly communication has changed immeasurably over the past two decades but in some ways it has hardly changed at all. The coin in the realm of any research remains the publication of novel results in a high impact journal – despite known issues with the Journal Impact Factor. This elusive goal has led to many problems in the research process: from hyperauthorship to high levels of retractions, reproducibility problems and 'cherry picking' of results. The veracity of the academic record is increasingly being brought into question. An additional problem is this static reward systems binds us to the current publishing regime, preventing any real progress in terms of widespread open access or even adoption of novel publishing opportunities. But there is a possible solution. Increased calls to open research up and provide a greater level of transparency have started to yield practical real solutions. This talk will cover the problems we currently face and describe some of the innovations that might offer a way forward.

ABSTRACT: The way research is disseminated has changed immeasurably since the advent of the internet, yet we still reward researchers in the same way - for publication of novel results in high impact journals. This talk will start with a brief discussion of some of the big challenges the research sector is facing as a result and describe how Open Science can address these. The talk will then focus on the difficulty of introducing and implementing Open Science solutions. Open Science questions the status quo, and potentially threatens the established reputation of both institutions and individuals. It is not an easy concept to implement. While the discipline of Scholarly Communication takes a 'meta' view of the whole research ecosystem, most players in that system are working within a narrow view. It is very rare for individuals to be able to see beyond their own experience. Challenges for people trying to implement Open Science initiatives range from practical issues in implementing change, through to the people skills and negotiations required to convince individuals and institutions that this change is necessary.

What is ‘research impact’ in an interconnected world?Danny Kingsley
This talk looks at what researchers need to do to ensure their research is widely disseminated and reaches the largest audience possible. In summary: Publishing a paper is the beginning not the end; Making work open access does not mean it is accessible; Writing in plain language is translating, not dumbing it down; Sharing work involves peer networks and publishing platforms and If you don't take control of your online presence someone/something else will. The presentation was originally given as part of the Cambridge University Alumni Festival on 27 September 2015.

Public engagement while you sleep? How altmetrics can help researchers broade...UoLResearchSupport
Slides from a seminar delivered for pepnet at the University of Leeds 28 Nov 2018. Thanks to Charlotte Perry-Houts for extra content:
From peer reviewed journal articles, to assorted reports and grey literature, to datasets comprising numerical, textual or multimedia files; we generate thousands of research outputs.
In this session, Kirsten Thompson (OD&PL) and Nick Sheppard (Library) will discuss strategies for increasing quality online engagement with that research. We will explore how you can use ‘alternative metrics’, more commonly known as ‘altmetrics’, to monitor such engagement. Altmetrics can help to showcase the reach of your work, supplement grant and tenure applications, identify new audiences, and connect with other researchers in your discipline.
In the age of “fake news”, academics have a responsibility to share their expertise beyond the Ivory Tower. We’ll show you how to ensure all these disparate outputs are properly curated in university repositories with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). There will also be an opportunity to learn about and contribute to the Library led Data Management Engagement Award, a first-ever competition launched to elicit new and imaginative ideas for engaging researchers in the practices of good Research Data Management (RDM).
How altmetrics can help researchers broaden the reach of their work. Workshop facilitated by Kirsten Thompson and Nick Sheppard at the University of Leeds for the #PepnetLeeds network November 28th 2018.
Moving from an IR to a CRIS, the why & howDavid T Palmer
IRs collect, manage and display publications, and their metadata. However, an institution’s research, expertise and capacity is described by more than publications. The HKU Scholars Hub, hosted in DSpace, began as the IR of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in 2005. Asking for voluntary deposit of publications from HKU academics, it received little notice, and more importantly, little support from University senior management. In 2009 a new HKU initiative, Knowledge Exchange, adopted the Hub as a key vehicle to share knowledge and skill with the community outside HKU. With funding support from the Office of KE, we extended the data model of DSpace to include relational tables on non-publication objects, including people, grants, and patents, holding attributes of these objects, such as co-investigators, co-inventors, co-prize winners, research interests, languages spoken, supervision of postgraduate theses, etc. The DSpace user interface now delivers an integrated search and display on these objects and attributes, as well as on ones newly derived, such as authority work on name disambiguation and synonymy in Roman and Hanzi (漢字), visualizations on networks of co-authors, co-investigators, etc, metrics extracted from external sources such as Scopus, WoS, PubMed, Google Scholar Citations, internal alt-metrics of view and download counts, and more. Beyond the functions of an IR, the Hub now performs as a system for reputation management, impact management, and research networking and profiling -- all of which are concepts included in the broad term, “Current Research Information System” (CRIS). These new objects and attributes curated from several trusted sources, and integrated into the present mashup, contextualize and highlight HKU research, and attract more hits, than an IR with only publications.
The HKU Office of Knowledge Exchange has now funded the modularization of these new HKU features of DSpace. Together with our partner, CINECA of Italy, we are making this work available in open source for the DSpace community.

• Information overload + more and
more grey literature)
But when there are 200 000 000 tweets per day or more activity on
the web in 60 seconds than you could produce in a whole
life, how to be sure your online strategy is still efficient
• How to surf the internet information wave?
Published papers open source or not....
– Universities: Personal solutions
– Companies: Press reviewing
• University duty: helping colleagues and
students
2. Access to black and white,
and coloured literature...
• Scientific publications
– After Current Contents!
– Publishers databases (Web of
Science, ScienceDirect)
– PubMed
• Patents databases
• Company Websites
3. Grey Literature
since end of 90's,
• Thesis, Reports
• Patents
• Scientific News Magazines (GEN)
• Press releases, Press agencies
• Internet
– Websites, Blogs, Tweets?
– Social networks
(Facebook, Linkedin..)...RSS flux
– So much information... it becomes
grey
4. Connectivism
Connectivism:
a theory of learning based on the premise that
knowledge exists in the world rather than in the head
of an individual
One aspect of connectivism is the use of a network
with nodes and connections as a central metaphor
for learning. In this metaphor, a node is anything that can be
connected to another node within a network such as an
organisation: information, data, feelings, images.
Connectivism sees learning as the process of
creating connections and developing a network.
5. Curation...
.... the process of establishing and developing long term
repositories of digital assets for current and future
reference by researchers, scientists, historians, and
scholars.
Enterprises are starting to utilize digital curation to improve the
quality of information and data within their operational and
strategic processes..
• ..... is expression, action and
passion!
