This document presents a study that compares survey data on researchers' engagement with stakeholders to altmetric data on the social media presence of researchers' publications. The study analyzes data on over 900 researchers in Spain, comparing the variety of stakeholders they interact with to the altmetric coverage of themselves and their publications. Preliminary results show some differences by field and academic rank. However, the authors note that more nuanced analysis is needed to understand the relationship between online social media presence and offline engagement, as altmetric coverage does not clearly relate to reported interactions. The authors aim to develop a more nuanced framework of online and offline engagement.

Presentation at the 7th International Conference on Information Technologies and Information Society (ITIS2015) in Novo Mestro, Slovenia on November 5, 2015.
Crowdsourcing platforms are revolutionizing research by providing a way to collect clinical and behavioral data with unprecedented speed and efficiency. This seminar explores another digital platform called TurkPrime that is designed to suuport research participant recruitment. TurkPrime is a relatively new panel service that allows researchers to target specific demographic groups. If you watched our previous webinar on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, also known as MTurk, you may find it interesting that TurkPrime offers a proportional matching sampling approach rather than MTurk’s opt-in, convenience sampling approach. Tasks that can be implemented with TurkPrime include: excluding participants on the basis of previous participation, longitudinal studies, making changes to a study while it is running, automating the approval process, increasing the speed of data collection, sending bulk e-mails and bonuses, enhancing communication with participants, monitoring dropout and engagement rates, providing enhanced sampling options, and many others.

Critical issues in contemporary open education researchRobert Farrow
This presentation outlines some key considerations for researchers working in the fields of open education, OER and MOOC. Key lines of debate in the open education movement will be described and critically assessed. A reflective overview of the award-winning OER Research Hub project will be used to frame several key considerations around the methodology and purpose of OER research (including 'impact' and 'open practices'). These will be compared with results from a 2016 OER Hub consultation with key stakeholders in the open education movement on research priorities for the sector. The presentation will conclude with thoughts on the potential for openness to act as a disruptive force in higher education.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Intro Social media as a proxy for societal
impact
• Social media as a potential channel to accelerate transition from
sci literature to practice – Grande et al., 2014
• Altmetrics as informative tools with the potential to be used in
research evaluation – Bornmann, 2014
• Altmetrics indicators signal a variety of phenomena, from
scientific impact to popularity or buzz – Haustein et al., 2016
• Maybe talking about impact is too ambitious, but we might
capture engagement – Robinson-Garcia et al., 2017
4. Intro Two approaches: Active or passive
role of the researchers
Altmetric approach Interactional approach
5. Intro Comparing with self-reported
evidence and scholars’ perception
• Scholars are increasingly using social media – Haustein et al.,
2014
• Social media is a good venue for interacting and engaging with
stakeholders – Grande et al., 2014
• Researchers have mixed feelings towards the benefits of social
media – Jordan, 2014
6. Context Excellence and knowledge transfer
• Survey aimed at understanding the relation between scientific
excellence and knowledge transfer
• Population. 52,529 researchers affiliated to Spanish institutions
with at least one publication in WoS during the 2012-14 period.
• Scholars were surveyed between June and July, 2016
• 21% response ratio (12,115 respondents).
7. Context Excellence and knowledge transfer
TYPES OF QUESTIONS
• Variety of interacting stakeholders
• Types and frequency of interactions (formal and informal)
• Dissemination strategies of research findings (analogue and
digital)
• Period asked: 2013-2015
8. Main goal Do altmetrics reflect offline
societal engagement?
• Pilot study. Selected a small sample of researchers based on
their reported use of Twitter. 8% of respondents
• Analyzed coverage of altmetric indicators both, at the individual
level (at least one authored paper) and article level
• Stratification by academic rank and scientific field
9. Main goal Do altmetrics reflect offline
societal engagement?
• Differences by altmetric coverage, field and academic rank
• Differences by variety of stakeholders, field and academic rank
• Relationship between altmetric coverage and variety of
stakeholders
16. Preliminary results Variety of
stakeholders by rank and discipline
No formal interaction
1-2 types of stakeholders
3-7 types of stakeholders
17. Preliminary results Variety of
stakeholders by rank and discipline
Not covered by Altmetric.com Covered by Altmetric.com
No interaction 1-2 types 3-7 types
18. Discussion and further steps Towards a
nuanced framework of on/offline engagement
• We observe differences by field at the individual level as well as
the article level
• Academic rank does not seem to be related to altmetric
coverage but it is related with interactions with stakeholders
• At an exploratory stage, it seems that being covered or not by
altmetric indicators does not relate to interacting with a variety
of stakeholders
19. Discussion and further steps Towards a
nuanced framework of on/offline engagement
Descriptive results not very promising but insufficient:
• Which stakeholders?
• Which altmetrics?
• Which fields?
• Which types of interactions?
• Is social media a trace or off-line engagement or does it also
facilitate it?
20. Do altmetrics capture societal engagement? A
comparison between survey data and social
media data
