What metrics? Altmetrics! (November 2014)Bianca Kramer
This document discusses alternative metrics (altmetrics) for measuring the impact of scholarly work beyond traditional citations. It mentions Bianca Kramer's work on altmetrics and provides links to resources on the altmetrics manifesto, changes in scientific communication like open access and new forms of peer review, limitations of altmetrics, and examples of individual altmetric profiles. The document aims to introduce altmetrics as a way to track whether scholarly findings are accepted, built upon, spread and cited, applied or purchased.
The document discusses the Right to Research Coalition, an international alliance of 77 student organizations representing nearly 7 million students. The Coalition was launched in 2009 to advocate for open access to research and educate about issues around restricted access to scholarly articles. It highlights the Open Access Button, a tool developed by the Coalition to help users find open access versions of papers. The Coalition has been actively lobbying on these issues, with over 1,000 congressional visits in the past 4.5 years.

The Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) supports the science gateways community in three main ways:
1) Providing consulting services and support for building and running science gateways;
2) Offering education and training programs both online and in-person on topics related to science gateways;
3) Maintaining a catalog of science gateway projects and software components.
The document discusses plans to create an Online Worldwide Community (EWOC) to support those with bipolar disorder. The goals are to create a living library to reduce isolation, disseminate treatments, build community, enable research with users as experts, and improve health. It will require professional development, multiple language support, and addressing privacy. Next steps include identifying resources, specifying philosophies, and applying for grants from potential funders like CIHR and IDRC.
Wikis allow for collaborative development of websites without technical expertise. They allow any community member to add or edit content. Wikis have advantages like being easy to use, web-based, and flexible. However, they also pose risks like a lack of organization or ownership of content. Libraries are successfully using wikis to create community resources, subject guides, course materials, and internal documentation. Key considerations for implementing a wiki include software selection, seeding content, policies, and moderation.

The document summarizes a webinar on granular discovery presented by NISO. It includes:
- An introduction to Alexander Street Press and their roots in granular content like film scripts, journal letters, and archival collections. They discuss challenges in granular discovery like different definitions of playback and what content levels can be sold.
- A presentation by figshare on making open data discoverable through services like DataCite for citations and their API. They discuss partnerships with publishers and search engine optimization.
- A discussion by ProQuest of the complexities of granular discovery like changes needed to systems to support new granularity levels, conflicts in metadata between content providers, and the importance of metadata quality.
The NISO began exploring issues around vocabulary development and maintenance in 2013. In 2014, they proposed three projects around vocabulary use and reuse, documentation, and preservation. These projects examine policies, social considerations, and guidance needed to support stable vocabularies. The groups aim to limit "orphan vocabularies" and provide recommendations for responsible long-term governance, documentation, and adoption of at-risk vocabularies. Educational webinars were held in 2015, and a draft of best practice recommendations is planned for fall 2016 to support interoperability and understanding of vocabulary management issues.

Woogle4MediaWiki: An Extension to Improve Search and to Guide ContributionsHans-Joerg Happel
Woogle is an extension for MediaWiki that aims to guide and motivate contributions. It does this by showing what content is missing from a wiki based on search logs, and making it easier for readers to become contributors. Woogle improves the native MediaWiki search and allows searching across multiple wikis. It provides features like red link popups that suggest synonyms, tracking popular search queries, and social search capabilities that allow adding or ranking query results.
PPI Conference: Open Access in AcademiaJason Rutter
This document discusses issues around commercialization and privatization of publicly funded academic research. It argues that allowing commercial publishers to profit from and restrict access to publicly funded research goes against principles of transparency, accountability and sharing of knowledge. Open access publishing is presented as an alternative that allows free public access to research while still supporting peer review and distribution of knowledge. The document suggests ways that pirate parties and others could support increased open access to publicly funded research.
SLA Presentation - Institutional Partnerships with Wikipedia dorohoward
This document discusses ways that institutions can collaborate with Wikipedia. It provides an overview of why institutions contribute content, such as to increase access to information and support open access. Examples of institutional goals in engaging with Wikipedia include improving discoverability of resources and coverage of institutional history. The document also outlines Wikipedia's core content policies and provides suggestions for how institutions can participate, such as by developing articles, hosting editing events, and contributing images and metadata.
WIKIPEDIA : INTERACTIVE INFORMATION SHARING PLATFORMabhijeetmohan
Wikipedia is a collaborative, multilingual online encyclopedia created and edited by volunteers around the world. It was launched in 2001 and has grown to over 3 million articles in English and millions more in other languages. Wikipedia is independently funded through donations and grants and contains information on almost all topics that is freely available to all users.
This document discusses wikis and their educational uses. It begins by defining wikis as websites that allow collaborative editing without technical skills. Wikis allow asynchronous communication, group collaboration, and presentation of information in various formats. They have revision history and meet technology standards. Challenges include privacy, reluctance to post, and information accuracy. Wikis can be used as products that are referenced or as processes where users collaborate dynamically. Examples of educational wiki uses are provided, along with tips for engaging students in wiki collaboration and important wiki features.
The document discusses trends in open access scholarly communications over the last decade and areas for future development. It notes the growth of open access journals and repositories and innovations like peer review experiments. While open access has increased availability of research, the document argues more changes are still needed to align incentives and metrics with open principles and make non-traditional outputs more prestigious and valued. Overall it presents an optimistic view of open access' potential to transform scholarly communications by better serving global audiences and more equitable exchange of knowledge.
Brian Hole, founder and CEO of Ubiquity Press, gave a presentation on open access publishing at EIFL workshops in Palestine in December 2015. He discussed the basics of open access, including its importance for validating and disseminating research as well as allowing further development. Hole also addressed common concerns around open access, such as article processing charges, and alternative models that do not involve fees. He highlighted opportunities for training, conferences, and international collaborations that could benefit students and researchers.

Swimsuit Season is Calling! Be Prepared To Answer It With These TipsThe Water Guy
Summer is on the horizon which means swimsuit season. Don't be discouraged though if you're not ready yet. Here's some tips to help you get your body swimsuit ready.
Wikis, Rubrics and Views: An Integrated Approach to Improving DocumentationTed Habermann
This document discusses an integrated approach used by NOAA to improve metadata documentation through wikis, rubrics, views, and connections. The approach centers around a community-maintained wiki that provides guidance on metadata best practices. Rubrics evaluate metadata completeness using spirals (concepts) aligned with standards. Views and connections integrate related documentation across multiple standards in a consistent, navigable way. The integrated approach provides a standardized tool for evaluating and improving metadata documentation.
The document discusses setting up a wiki as a knowledge sharing tool for staff in a public library. It describes the six main steps to set up a wiki: 1) planning, 2) design, 3) testing, 4) launching, 5) managing/maintaining, and 6) evaluating. The goals are to better utilize staff expertise, facilitate knowledge sharing, and provide more specialized services to library users. Key lessons learned include involving end-users from the start and integrating the wiki into daily work practices.
Wikis are collaborative websites that allow multiple users to edit pages and track changes. They can range in size from small personal sites to large sites like Wikipedia. Wikis allow the incorporation of images and videos. Most wikis require membership to edit pages. They have been used educationally for group projects, disseminating course materials, and sharing educational resources across many subjects and levels.
This document provides an introduction to wikis, including what they are, basic principles, concepts, types of wikis, why and how they are used, benefits, and how to implement them. A wiki allows any user to easily contribute or modify content on a website. It discusses how wikis enable collaboration, sharing, and the development of collective knowledge. Benefits include increased speed, flexibility, visibility, quality and the creation of value through knowledge transfer within organizations.
The document discusses convergence in journalism and provides guidance on how to create convergent stories. It defines convergence as using the appropriate medium to tell each part of a story. It provides examples of convergent stories and outlines the tools needed, including audio recorders, video cameras, software, and ways to host and promote the content online. The document aims to help journalists expand their skill sets and think beyond traditional print to create multimedia stories.

Crisis! Zombie Apocalyse: Planning a Live Event Simulation for MCO StudentsTexas Wesleyan University
This document outlines the Teachapalooza VI Show and Share crisis simulation exercise for journalism and public relations students. The purpose was to give students hands-on experience covering and responding to a crisis. Journalism students practiced real-time reporting and distinguishing facts from rumors. Public relations students implemented a crisis plan, disseminated information, and worked with the media. Students created news coverage and crisis communication websites and podcasts which were reviewed by professionals. The event required extensive preparation but provided a fun, engaging learning experience for participants.
Social media usage drives traditional media usage at newspapers throughout the nation. But is that different for Spanish-language newspapers? Just how integrated are the social media sites for Spanish-language newspapers in the United States. This presentation at the Eastern Regional Conference for the National Association of Hispanic and Latino Studies explores this question.
This presentation at the AEJMC conference in Chicago, gives student media advisers and student leaders a step-by-step guide on creating an integrated marketing communications plan using the ROPE method from public relations. Those unfamiliar with marketing or public relations will find this easy to use and invaluable in managing your student media brand.
This is a presentation that I gave today at the Associated Collegiate Press and College Media Advisers fall conference in Austin. The presentation should give you a step-by-step plan to help you create a marketing plan to improve your credibility and perception on campus.
This document summarizes research on Spanish-language media usage today. It finds that Hispanics lead in social media usage, sharing content more often. Current research looks at social media usage at Spanish-language newspapers compared to their English-language counterparts. Preliminary findings show Spanish-language media receives fewer resources, negatively impacting social media usage, though staff at both see social media as important. Barriers between English and Spanish content are breaking down. The presentation discusses these findings with media professionals and takes questions.
You use social media to catch up with friends, but you also need to be using LinkedIn, Tweetdeck and Hootsuite to improve your reporting and reach your audience. This presentation will teach you the basics.
This presentation reviews research on the usage of social media at sister publications of two newspapers. The publications are English-language and Spanish-language news outlets. This study shows that differences do exist among the outlets, including resources, training and usage of social media among reporters and the main social media channels.
This document discusses how to write effectively across different media and social media platforms. It outlines several key principles for good writing: writing concisely using precise language; focusing the writing; including important details while keeping it brief; using an active voice; maintaining consistency; organizing information in an orderly manner; and viewing writing as an iterative process of drafting, revising, and editing. The overall message is that these principles of good writing are necessary for success when writing on Twitter and other social media.
Digital literacy is more than just knowing how to turn on a computer and use social media. It is the ability to critically analyze digital information and create information using digital tools. This presentation offers some resources and links to tutorials, reports and websites that help individuals bridge the digital divide.
This document outlines an workshop on taking feature writing and turning it into multimedia content. It discusses having workshop participants develop a feature story idea in groups for the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association conference. The winning group would receive stickers. It then talks about how to expand on the story ideas by including photos, graphics, and other multimedia elements to illustrate the stories. The document provides examples of how a feature writing class was previously taught focusing only on written work, but now incorporates multimedia elements like creating slideshows and social media plans to promote stories online. It encourages thinking about how to expand simple information gathering and illustrations for written features into more robust digital content and production.
Mission statements are more than words on the wall at your office. Mission statements provide focus and direction for your organization. This pilot study of student media mission statements offers an initial look at student media and mission.
The document discusses the importance of aligning student media goals and strategies with the university's overall mission and strategic plan. It provides tips for creating alignment such as developing a mission statement, strategic plan, and assessment measures that explicitly link to and support the university's goals. Student media organizations are encouraged to have copies of the university's mission and strategic plan in order to integrate their work and assess how it contributes to the institution.
This presentation for the Fort Worth Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators highlights the basics of writing and how that effectively translates to writing across media in today's multimedia environment.
This is a presentation that I did at the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association conference at Kerrville, Texas in March. The presentation discusses how to create an integrated marketing communications plan for student media that will increase readership and campus-wide support.

Social Networking, Online Communities and Clinical ResearchColleen Young
Social media and online communities can be leveraged at various stages of clinical research. During the research question stage, user-generated content and discussions with online community managers can provide insights. Collaborative writing tools and video conferences can aid study design. Social media platforms can help with recruitment by creating presences, sharing videos, and partnering with relevant organizations. Crowdsourcing data analysis and member checking can assist the data analysis stage. Disseminating findings on social media and with online communities supports end of grant knowledge translation. Ongoing learning, connecting, collaborating, experimenting and sharing information allows for knowledge application.

This document outlines plans for establishing a new open access data journal called the Journal of Open Economics Data. It discusses the need for data papers that describe datasets in sufficient detail to allow for their reuse and validation. The document proposes a general structure for data papers and outlines requirements for peer review, including review of the deposited dataset and its documentation. It also discusses setting up the journal's editorial board and advisory board and recruiting authors, data reviewers, and repository partners. The goal is for the new journal to help advance open data practices and incentivize data sharing within economic research communities.
With the flourishing environment of platforms for sharing data, establishing an online profile and engaging in scientific discourse through alternative modes of publishing and participation, there are numerous potential benefits. However, while many scientists invest significant amounts of time in sharing their activities and opinions with friends and family the majority do not make use of the new opportunities to participate in the developing social web of science, despite the potential impact and influence on future careers. We now have many new ways to contribute to science outside of the classical publishing model. These include the ability to annotate and curate data, to “publish” in new ways on blogs and micropublishing sites, and many of these activities can be as part of a growing crowdsourcing network. Our efforts in this area are already being indexed and exposed on the internet via our publications, presentations and data and increasingly we are being quantified. This presentation will provide an overview of the various types of networking and collaborative sites available to scientists and ways to expose their scientific activities online.

Zombies, Superheroes and Protests, Oh My! Reviewing Three Years of Crisis Sim...Texas Wesleyan University
For the past three years, the Mass Communication Department at Texas Wesleyan University, in collaboration with theatre students, criminal justice and sociology students and faculty have created crises on campus so that budding journalists, editors and public relations practitioners could practice their skills in a safe learning environment with local professionals and the whole world watching via social media and the web. Has this continuing exercise been effective in teaching real-world skills? And how can this help you in the classroom? This presentation will look at results from student reviews of the exercise based on individual and group podcasts after the event as well as follow-up interviews undertaken to see how students have been affected by this exercise months and years afterward.

The document discusses macro editing and provides guidelines for editing news stories at a high level. It defines macro editing as assessing whether stories are worth running by considering factors like leads, organization, flow, unanswered questions, accuracy, and ethics. It also discusses determining a story's importance based on audience and available space. Hard news is described as timely, containing conflicts, and answering who, what, where, when, why and how, while soft news is less time-sensitive.
The document discusses an exercise where students are divided into groups to analyze a news release and the news articles that resulted from the release. They are asked to compare the goals of the news release to whether those goals were accomplished based on the content of the news stories. The groups will then discuss their analyses with the full class.
