Joining the ‘buzz’ : the role of social media in raising research visibility: Traditional bibliometric methods of evaluating academic research, such as journal impact factors and article citations, have been supplemented in the past 5-10 years by the development of altmetrics (alternative metrics/article level metrics). Altmetrics measures aspects of the impact of a work, such as references in data and knowledge bases, article views, downloads and mentions in social media and news media.
This webinar (based on a presentation of the same name at the LIASA conference on 24th September 2014) gives a brief background to altmetrics and demonstrates how Rhodes University, Grahamstown, librarians are using social media to raise the visibility of the research output of their institution.

Pre-Print Version of a research paper submitted to Journal of Scientometric Research, 2014.
Abstract: The Article-level metrics or altmetrics becomes a new trendsetter in recent times for measuring impact of scientific publications and their social outreach to intended audiences. The popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin and social bookmarks such as Mendeley and CiteULike are nowadays widely used for communicating research to larger transnational audiences. In 2012, the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) got signed by the scientific and researchers communities across the world. This Declaration has given preference to the article-level metrics (ALM) or altmetrics over traditional but faulty journal impact factor (JIF)-based assessment of career scientists. JIF does not consider impact or influence beyond citations count, as this count reflected only through Thomson Reuters Web of Science database. Also JIF provides indicator related to a journal, but not related to a published paper. Thus, altmetrics now becomes an alternative metrics for performance assessment of individual scientists and their contributed scholarly publications. This paper provides a glimpse of genesis of altmetrics in measuring efficacy of scholarly communications. This paper also highlights available altmetric tools and social platforms linking altmetric tools, which are widely used in deriving altmetric scores of scholarly publications.
Presentation to the second LIS DREaM workshop held at the British Library on Monday 30th January 2012.

Social Media in Science and Altmetrics - New Ways of Measuring Research Impact Christoph Lutz
Social media are becoming more and more popular in scientific communication. Scientists use them for a range of purposes, from sharing publications, to blogging about their own or others’ research, conference tweeting, interpersonal communication and online participation, for example via Q&As on academic social network sites like ResearchGate and academia.edu. Moreover, many social media platforms can be used for impact measurement via so-called altmetrics. Altmetrics capture and aggregate social media metrics such as (re)tweets, Facebook likes, Mendeley bookmarks and Wikipedia cites. They can challenge or at least complement bibliometric impact measures, like the Journal Impact Factor and the h-index, which have been criticized on various grounds. This presentation first summarizes recent studies on social media adoption in science. It then focuses on altmetrics and summarizes key findings in that domain. Finally, it gives a hands-on introduction to altmetrics by demonstrating two prominent services: Impactstory and Altmetric.com.

Ideas that seem obvious today, at one point were obscure facts known only to a select few. The health benefits of washing hands, wearing a seatbelt while in a car - none of these ideas and practices were accepted immediately. In addition to needing time to incubate, new ideas also need to be accessible so that they can be tested, debated, and built upon. This presentation, which is based on my previous research and personal experiences, will highlight the importance and connection between open access publishing and the role of social media in promotion and dissemination of scholarly research.
Reputation, impact, and the role of libraries in the world of open scienceKeith Webster

This presentation is about Scholarly Communications and how it works, what are ways through one can identify right journals for publications and also briefly discusses preprints as an alternative publications space for making the research more open and visible.
There is an abundance of free online tools accessible to scientists and others that can be used for online networking, data sharing and measuring research impact. Despite this, few scientists know how these tools can be used or fail to take advantage of using them as an integrated pipeline to raise awareness of their research outputs. In this article, the authors describe their experiences with these tools and how they can make best use of them to make their scientific research generally more accessible, extending its reach beyond their own direct networks, and communicating their ideas to new audiences. These efforts have the potential to drive science by sparking new collaborations and interdisciplinary research projects that may lead to future publications, funding and commercial opportunities. The intent of this article is to: describe some of these freely accessible networking tools and affiliated products; demonstrate from our own experiences how they can be utilized effectively; and, inspire their adoption by new users for the benefit of science.

Creation, Transformation, Dissemination and Preservation: Advocating for Scho...NASIG
As the fight for research grants intensifies and the pot of money decreases, librarians need to ensure that the topic of scholarly communication remains on the forefront, regardless of funding. Affording researchers avenues to widely share and publish their work to make it widely available should be a mission both in the library and at the highest levels of the institution. How can libraries make an impact? In this presentation two librarians, a consortia officer and vendor, will discuss how consortia have and continue to play a primary role in advocating for dissemination of information and scholarly communication. Additionally, they will discuss other tools that libraries/researchers can use as a method of collaboration, whether regional or international, and why it is essential for libraries to become part of the solution before they are left out in the cold. Please come prepared to discuss how your library is making an impact on this topic.

Altmetrics Day Workshop - Internet Librarian International 2014Andy Tattersall
Altmetrics in the Academy - Implementing strategies in the library for better academic engagement, dissemination and measurement
Workshop abstract:
Altmetrics are increasingly gaining support and interest as an alternative way of disseminating and measuring scholarly output. Championed by early career researchers, librarians and information professionals, Altmetrics are to research as MOOCs are to learning. Like MOOCs most still do not understand their potential or how they could fit with or replace existing modes of delivery and assessment.
The first half of the workshop will help delegates gain an understanding of what Altmetrics are and how they can fit within academic library services. The second half of the session will deliver case studies, tools and techniques to help LIS professionals encourage better usage of Altmetrics.

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.

Reflections On Social Media Use Along The Academic Research Life CycleAnand Sheombar
This short paper presentation at 12th IADIS International Conference on Information Systems (IS 2019) argues for the need for discussion on the role social media could have in the research life cycle, particularly for Information Systems (IS) scholars. ICTs are pervasive, and their societal impact is profound. Various disciplines including those of social sciences are present in the online discourse and join the public debate on societal implications of ICTs and scholar are familiar with web tools for publishing. Information Systems scholars could not only further explore the possibilities for joining that online discourse, but also could explore the potential social media may have for activities related to the research life cycle. In this paper we do not focus solely on social media as a data collection source but regard their merits as a channel for scholarly communication throughout the whole research life cycle, from the start of getting inspired to conduct a research, finding collaboration partners or funding, through suggestions for literature, to the stage of research dissemination and creating impact beyond the own scientific community. This paper contributes an original approach to research communication by combining the research life cycle with practical insights of how social media can be applied throughout each phase of that lifecycle. We conclude with some questions debating the stance that (future) IS scholars are prepared to become the digital scholar that can manoeuvre well on social media for scholarly communication.

ALTMETRICS : A HASTY PEEP INTO NEW SCHOLARLY MEASUREMENTSaptarshi Ghosh
The term ‘Altmetrics’ was proposed by Jason Priem, a PhD student at the School of Information and Library Science at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill through a tweet. [https://twitter.com/asnpriem/status/25844968813].
Altmetrics is the combination of two words such as: ‘Alternative’ and ‘Metrics’ in which the ‘alt-‘part refers to alternative types of metrics (that is alternative to traditional metrics such as citation analysis, impact factor, downloads & usage data etc.).
Altmetrics is the creation and study of new metrics based on the Social Web for analyzing, and informing scholarship (http://altmetrics.org/about/). It is the study of new indicators for the analysis of academic activity based on Web 2.0.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. 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.

1. Joining the ‘buzz’ : the role of social media in raising research visibility at Rhodes University Grahamstown, South Africa
Eileen Shepherd
Principal Librarian : Faculty Liaison Services
Science & Pharmacy
Rhodes University Library
Grahamstown, South Africa
LIASA – HELIG webinar
6th November 2014
2. This presentation endeavours to:
to provide a brief introduction to altmetrics – a non-traditional form of measuring scholarly impact
to demonstrate the use of social media in raising awareness and visibility of Rhodes University research
3. Traditional bibliometric methods of evaluating academic research
Citations
h-indices
A scholar with an h-index of 18 has published 18 papers each of which has been cited in other papers at least 18 times
Journal Impact Factors
In any given year, the impact factor of a journal is the average number of citations received per paper published in that journal during the two preceding years
4.
supplemented in the past 5-6 years
by the development of altmetrics
i.e.(alternative metrics or article level metrics)
“The creation and study of new metrics based on the Social Web for analyzing and informing scholarship”
http://altmetrics.org/about/
Traditional bibliometrics have been
5. Do / should / will social media feature in academia?
6. Social media and scholarly communication?
“…….. Web 2.0 applications will have an increasing role in the scholarly communication process. While research shows that take up in academia is at a relatively low level (although at least two UK-based Vice Chancellors now have a Twitter following), many publishers are providing wiki-based forums for specific journals or disciplines facilitating discussion on, and sharing of, research findings…”

Communication, New Review of Academic Librarianship, 16:S1, 1-3, DOI:0.1080/13614533.2010.514763
7. Do academics use social media in the course of their research? : Survey Results
“Giant academic social networks have taken off
to a degree that no one expected
even a few years ago*
Survey asked how researchers used social networks and/or
profile-hosting or search services

10. Due to the increasing variety of online references to research, and also of tools for sharing research…
A confusing array of social media choices:
C
How do we measure impact and how is research
communicated & shared via the Web?
New tools needed to measure 10
11. Enter : altmetrics
new approach to determining quality/popularity of research
value can be assessed by tallying shares, saves, reviews, adaptations & social media usage
no longer a FAD
shows impact of research outside of the academy
limitations? need to develop a way to differentiate between scholarly & sexy research ; vulnerable to gaming

31. Social media ‘stats’: what do/could they offer?
Provide evidence that relevant communities are aware of a specific paper
Provide evidence that a relatively under cited paper is having a research impact
Provide evidence of public interest in…
Indicate a pathway for research to reach a wide range of audiences
Compare readership of articles across countries
Compare communities discussing articles - science communicators, researchers, policy makers, practitioner communities…

32. Future of altmetrics?
…[these] numbers …are signals of the flow of information down paths that we haven’t mapped.
•
most exciting possibility…only just starting to explore.
•
who is using that information?
•
correlation analysis can’t tell us this, but more sophisticated approaches might
•
with that information …could design scholarly communication systems to maximise their reach, value and efficiency

33. Open Access + Social Media = Competitive Advantage
How can open access outperform its tenacious, institutionalized competition, the traditional top-tier journals?
Perhaps through its intimate relationship with social media.
Blogging, tweeting, publicly discussing research > benefits for scientists, journals, and even society, > increased debate and transparency

68. Some reflections regarding @RhodesResearch experiment
Is it worth continuing?
Yes
Enhanced engagement with research & researchers
Time-consuming
An added dimension to job responsibilities
But interesting
And stimulating
Provided an opportunity to engage with developing field of altmetrics
