Give me kudos for taking
responsibility for self-marketing
my scientific publications and
increased impact
Antony Williams, Will Russell,
Melinda Kenneway, Louise Peck
ACS Denver, March 22nd 2015
Scientists measured by Impact
My Judgments…
• For sure.. the Metrics of Impact are changing
• Impact is more than “Published XX papers in
YY journals with Impact Factors of ZZ”
• Collaboration is more necessary than ever
• Researchers do not work hard enough on
sharing their research, teachings or data
• Platforms for sharing activities can result in
broader exposure
The Alt-Metrics Manifesto
National Information Standards
Organization and “Altmetrics”
http://www.niso.org/apps/group_public/download.php/13295/niso_altmetrics_white_paper_draft_v4.pdf
Research Outputs
• Blogs
• Research datasets
• Scientific software
• Posters and presentations at conferences
• Electronic theses and dissertations
• Performances in film and audio
• Lectures, online classes and teaching activities
Measuring Impact?
https://impactstory.org/ChemConnector
AltMetrics via Plum Analytics
Usage, Citations, Social
Media
How much work?
• How much work is done generating and
analyzing data?
• How much effort to represent your science –
presentations, publications?
• How long does it take to write a publication?
• How much work does it take to go through the
peer review process?
Is self-marketing of value???
• How much work do you put into your own
profile? (versus other aspects of you on
Facebook )
• Post-publication, how much work is put into
sharing publications with the community – “It’s
up to the publisher is not sufficient!”
• More visible does NOT mean better science

Is self-marketing of interest???
• How much work do you put into your own
profile (versus other aspects of you on
Facebook )
• Post-publication, how much work is put into
sharing publications with the community – “It’s
up to the publisher is not sufficient!”
• More visible does NOT mean better science
• Are scientists interested in self-marketing?

Using Kudos for “self-marketing”
https://www.growkudos.com/
What is Kudos?
• To explain, enhance and share your articles
• Ability to add, connect, integrate other
information associated with the article:
• Blog posts, commentaries, external reviews
• Presentations, videos, links to later
publications
• Follow up work, new data, additional data not
in the supplementary information
• Tools measure visits/views/sharing of article

Measuring
Per-article charts to map
usage and Altmetric data
against Kudos activities
Kudos Views Grow Long-Term
A publication as a point-in-time
• From a publication how do you cite forward?
• to errata?
• to your later publications?
• to electronic notebook pages?
• to blog posts about your work?
• to other peoples related publications?
• to reinterpreted data you don’t publish?
Enriching with LATER SCIENCE
How do YOU cite forwards?
Never really “complete”
A More Recent Example

CAS Indexing Prophetic Substances
Altmetrics - Important Article?
Yes.. important article…
…prior-art searching by virtual compounds could impact
composition of matter patentability of a new medicinal lead…
The story continues…
Pushing AltMetrics with Kudos
Within 48 hours
Within 6 Months
• Altmetrics very simplistic – I tweet in increments
• People share my tweet – it grows
• Silly titles make a difference!
We know Titles drive interest!
Call it Fuzzy and Tweet it…
AltMetrics within 48 Hours
Here we have Bat Fellatio Viewed
337,000 Times…as it were
• And yes…known issues with AltMetrics…
VIEWS does not mean reads!!!
Within Two Weeks

Is exposure important???
• Does a highly viewed paper mean better
science? CLEARLY NO!
• If AltMetrics is one of the new measures
clearly visibility and discoverability is important
• If there is a downside to investing in exposing
your publications, what is it?
• YES…it can be called “gaming” or “savvy”
Kudos early results: 2014
+25%
more click-throughs from
Kudos to the Publisher site
when the author has
explained / enriched the
article using the Kudos tools
If this article was Kudos’ed…
• Then all blog posts can be linked, all
discussions exposed, all commentaries
available – instead of “for scientific reasons”
Conclusions
• There IS work Kudos’ing but relative to the
time and costs for the research? MINISCULE
• What are the downsides to participating?
• Kudos is free, and one of many, that can be
used to develop a research social profile online
• What is most exciting for me – citing
FORWARD to later work by enriching articles
Thank you
