This document provides information and strategies for academics to increase the visibility and impact of their work outside of academia. It discusses using social media strategically to build a professional brand and get noticed. Tips are provided for writing attention-grabbing titles for social media posts in 120 characters or less. Maintaining an online professional profile through tools like ORCID and tracking impact through metrics and altmetrics are also covered. The document emphasizes finding ways for research to inform public policy, engage the public, and have societal and economic benefits and outcomes beyond academia.
This presentation to the Western Sydney School of Business was part of a research forum 'Demystifying Research Impact'.
The aim was to look at research metrics - or academic contribution to the field (both via traditional citation counts and altmetrics), how to manage your academic researcher identity and show how the Library has the tools and expertise to assist.

This is a talk given to the Australian 2021 Research Support Community Day (#RSCDay21).
ABSTRACT: Understanding scholarly communication is becoming increasingly important within research institutions. In response, the number and range of scholarly communication-related roles within academic libraries, and other departments and divisions, have been growing steadily for nearly 20 years. Yet there are very few formal training opportunities for people moving into these roles. This has led to something of a crisis, with a recent paper in the US identifying that “scholarly communications librarians experience impostor phenomenon more frequently and intensely than academic librarians more broadly”.
This talk will describe an Australasian research project building on the US study looking at scholarly communication knowledge and skills. Our study focusses on people who support institutional repository management, publishing services, research practice, copyright services, open access policies and scholarly communication landscape, data management services, and assessment & impact metrics. The findings will help identify future training and workforce development needs.

Open Access policies at Australian universitiesDanny Kingsley
This is a talk given at the Research Support Community Day (#RSCDay21) by Danny Kingsley & Simon Wakeling on a research project they are doing with Hamid Jamali, Mary Anne Kennan and Maryam Sarrafzadeh.
ABSTRACT: It has long been recognised that policies and mandates are key drivers of open access (OA) publishing and dissemination. While a great deal of attention has been placed on funder policies, researchers are also often covered by institutional policies or guidelines. This presentation will provide an overview of the state of open access policies at Australian universities. It will report on a research project that is analysing all existing OA policies, or policies that are related to open access (for example dissemination of research output policies) at Australian universities. In addition to reporting whether universities have policies explicitly related to open access, and what those policies require of researchers, the project also explores how universities define OA, and the extent to which their policies represent a form of OA advocacy. The presentation will include highlights from a comparison of university policies for their similarities and differences, a discussion of their key characteristics, and an assessment of the potential future role of such policies in the context of the national and international OA landscape.

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.

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).

Insights into Influence: Scholar-Practitioner Profile in the Academy and Comm...Kathleen Reed
Demonstrating knowledge mobilization and accountability are increasingly prominent features of the scholarly landscape; scholar-practitioners need to understand and strategically manage available indicators of impact. At the same time, traditional scholarly metrics and indexing are converging with social media, resulting in new approaches for measuring scholar-practitioner influence. The emerging scene challenges libraries to support scholars, practitioners and students to engage with an evolving environment in which much may be gained or forfeited depending on how reputation is curated. For librarians to assist scholars in this new altmetrics environment, more needs to be known about how students and faculty are or are not engaging with emerging tools available to them. This presentation gives an overview of the considerations, perceptions, and issues related to the use of altmetrics by graduate students and scholar-practitioners at VIU and Royal Roads University.
Embedding open in the research training processDanny Kingsley
Abstract: Some institutions offer graduate training that sits alongside the master/apprentice system. But many rely on models such as the Vitae Researcher Development Framework that do not encompass many (or any) open concepts. This means the training of researchers in many of these spaces falls to library staff. From the academic side, grassroots organisations such as AIMOS or ANZORN offer a community for the interested. There are multiple sets of competencies developed for scholarly communication librarians, but these are not represented in any university library course in Australia. So those teaching the research community are relying on gathered skills and working without a standardised set of agreed
learnings for their target community. The result is haphazard and highly reliant on the skills of individuals at specific institutions. We are in need of some robust frameworks and standards. What are the minimum skills and knowledge we would expect of a graduate researcher in Australia when it comes to open? We are not starting from scratch, there are many organisations in Australia that have done work on some aspects of open training or skills. It is time for this to be brought into a cohesive and agreed standard we can all work towards.

Disseminating Scientific Papers via Twitter: Practical Insights and Research ...SC CTSI at USC and CHLA
About one-fifth of current scientific papers are being shared on Twitter. With 230 million active users and 24 percent of the U.S. online population using the microblogging platform, hopes are high that tweets mentioning scientific articles reflect some type of interest by the general public and might even be able to measure the societal impact of research. However, early studies show that most of the engagement with scientific papers on Twitter takes place among members of academia and thus reflects visibility within the scientific community rather than impact on society. At the same time, some tweets do not involve any human engagement but rather are generated automatically by Twitter bots.
This talk focuses on identifying audiences on Twitter and teaches participants how to collect, analyze, visualize, and interpret diffusion patterns of scientific articles on Twitter. The course provides an overview of Altmetrics research and present the challenges – including methods and first results – of classifying Twitter user groups, with a particular focus on identifying members of the general public and measuring societal impact. The course will provide hands-on exercises and instructions on how to analyze by whom, when, and how scientific papers are shared on Twitter.
Speaker: Stefanie Haustein, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, School of Information Studies, University of Ottawa
Several statistics show that the general public holds a wide interest on scientific issues. However, the public rarely finds their way to academic arenas. It has been estimated that every year over two million scientific articles and reports are published, but roughly half of them are read only by the author and the editors.
Public discussions are increasingly taking place in social media. Different online media are reported as central information sources when searching for scientific information. What can we do as researchers to help people to find the information they look for? How to make a researcher's voice heard online?
Communicating about one's research in social media means creating societal impact and defending a scientific worldview. In this workshop we will focus on practical tips and good examples on how to engage in different social media services as a researcher.

Research-Open Access-Social Media: a winning combination, presented by Eileen Shepherd at the Open Access Symposium on 21 October 2014 - Rhodes University Library
The open academic: Why and how business academics should use social media to ...Ian McCarthy
Abstract: The mission of many business schools and their researchers is to produce research that that impacts how business leaders, entrepreneurs, managers, and innovators, think and act. However, this mission remains an elusive ideal for many business school academics because they struggle to design and produce research capable of overcoming the "research-practice gap." To help those scholars address this gap, we explain why and how they should use social media to be more 'open' to connecting with, learning from, and working with academics and other stakeholders outside of their field. We describe how social media can be used as a boundary-spanning technology to help bridge the research-practice gap. To do this, we present a process model of five research activities: networking, framing, investigating, dissemination, and assessment. Using recently published research as an illustrative example, we describe how social media was used to make each activity more open. We conclude with a framework of different social media-enabled open academic approaches (connector, observer, promoter, and influencer) and some dos and don'ts for engaging in each approach. This paper aims to help business academics rethink and change their practices so that our profession is more widely regarded for how its research positively impacts practice and societal well-being more generally.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

For example, instead of “Coalition of Advocacy Groups Releases Report on the State of Secondary Education and Calls for Immediate Reform“, try “New Report Reveals How Our State is Letting Down High School Students and What We Can Do About It”.
•
Employ active verbs (creates interest)
“My Summer Vacation“. Instead add an active (not passive) verb: ie. “How my summer vacation rocked!“
•
Use opinionated adjectives
“Check out this thought-provoking video on composting!” That said, stay away from over-used adjectives like “important”.
•
Be descriptive but not completely
While you want to create an interesting title that folks will want to share, you also want it to be intriguing enough that they will also click through to see what’s there. For example: “Newly Disclosed Documents Reveal How Federal Officials Deliberately Misled Local Police Departments.“
•
The shorter the better (but less than 120 characters)
If you want folks to share your content on Twitter, be sure the title is less than 120 characters (including spaces). Why 120? Tweets can only be 140 characters (including spaces) so if you figure in the tweeter’s username, a hashtag and possibly “RT” (re-tweet) or “via”, that leaves roughly 120 characters to play with. For example, use “&” instead of “and” to save space.

Inform public policy - Arts and humanities researchers have an important role to play in supporting policy makers across a wide range of subject disciplines and government activities. The Arts and Humanities Council (AHRC) uses a number of methods to increase the exposure of cutting-edge research to policy makers across government.
•Knowledge Exchange and Partnerships - The AHRC seeks to create opportunities and incentives that increase the flow, value, and impact of world-class arts and humanities research from academia to the UK's private, cultural, and public sectors.
•International influence - collaboration between top UK researchers and the best researchers from around the world.
•Public engagement - Arts and humanities research is a vital part of the cultural wealth of this country, engaging millions of people through the exhibitions they visit, the music they listen to, the books they read and the plays and films they watch.

25. “benefits of humanities research beyond academia”
•
evidence of partnerships with public cultural institutions, theatre companies, museums and galleries
•
cases where online archival materials had both created and strengthened the storehouse of cultural memory
•
literacy research was shown to influence national policy, and the development of corpora for English-language teaching had clearly had huge impact domestically and internationally
•
strength and benefits of research in the humanities, research that transforms the intellectual and cultural landscape, generates commercial capital and sustains citizenship and civil society.

“Universities’ events programmes should be re-oriented toward promoting their own research strengths as well as external speakers. Events should be integrated multi-media and multi-stage from the outset and universities should seek to develop ‘zero touch’ technologies to track and better target audience members.”
“Universities should learn from corporate customer relationship management (CRM) systems to better collect, collate, and analyse information gathered from discrete parts of the university and encourage academics to record their impact- related work with external actors.”

“In this context, ‘societal benefits’ refers to the contribution of research to the social capital of a nation, in stimulating new approaches to social issues, or in informing public debate and policy‐making. ‘Cultural benefits’ are those that add to the cultural capital of a nation, for example, by giving insight into how we relate to other societies and cultures, by providing a better understanding of our history and by contributing to cultural preservation and enrichment. ‘Environmental benefits’ benefit the natural capital of a nation, by reducing waste and pollution, and by increasing natural preserves or biodiversity. Finally, ‘economic benefits’ increase the economic capital of a nation by enhancing its skills base and by improving its productivity” (pg. 673)
