While libraries use sophisticated metrics to determine e-resources usefulness, impact and cost effectiveness, much of this reflects past usage. To elicit qualitative data, an open-source application that inserts a pop-up survey between a citation and its full-text was tested. Inspired by MINES for Libraries®, this pop-up survey aims to capture users’ real-time reasons for selecting a given resource. Join us to learn about the application, users responses to the survey and to discuss future uses.

Introduction to Data Management PlanningErin Owens
Data management planning is an essential step of preparing to launch a research project, but it's often not given the robust consideration it deserves. External funders are increasingly requiring research funding proposals to include detailed plans for how data will be accurately and effectively collected, maintained, preserved, and shared. Even without a funder requirement, sound data management planning improves accuracy and efficiency of research data collection. This session from the Scholarly Communications Librarian at Sam Houston State University will walk step by step through the process of data management planning; participants will leave with an outline of their own plan and a list of useful resources.

Join Professor and Scholarly Communications Librarian Erin Owens for a one-hour overview of what the DMSP is and how to begin developing yours.
Communicating the impact of our research can be essential for securing funding, forming research partnerships, building a case for tenure and promotion, or achieving other goals. But what does “impact” really encompass, and how do we show evidence of it? This session will highlight key strategies, resources, and services that can help you to successfully communicate your research impact.

"But What About the Bearkat Bundle?" Untangling Similarities & Differences of...Erin Owens
Most instructors will be familiar with the Bearkat Bundle, an inclusive access agreement between SHSU and the Barnes & Noble Bookstore which seeks to rectify issues of textbook cost and availability. But how do inclusive access programs compare to the adoption of free and open course materials (commonly called OER)? This session will dive into similarities, differences, and considerations that instructors should know as they strive to make the best textbook selections to support their course learning objectives and their students.
Adopt an Open Textbook for Your Intro Course in Less Than 20 HoursErin Owens
Lightning Talk by Professor Erin Owens at Sam Houston State University (SHSU) PACE Teaching & Learning Conference, Aug 12, 2021:
High textbook costs disproportionately impact first-generation, minority, and low-income students. These costs can be especially hard to swallow in introductory courses outside a student’s major. While e-textbooks may lower the initial price-tag, they cannot be resold and are not ideal for all learners. But there’s another option: You can provide immediate, free digital access to an open textbook, with a low-cost print option available through the bookstore for students who prefer print. You can do it quickly, without sacrificing the convenience of supplementary materials, and if you’re feeling intimidated, the library can help. Learn more in this lightning session!

This session will explore potential issues with OER quality and share key tools and strategies to more efficiently evaluate open teaching materials.
ExplOERing the Possibilities of Open Educational ResourcesErin Owens
Slides from a presentation at the 2019 SHSU Teaching & Learning Conference. Presentation description: Educators hear a lot these days about Open Educational Resources (OER), especially since the Texas legislature passed SB 810 in 2017, but instructors may not yet be familiar with OER or confident about using them. This session provides the opportunity to “explOER” these resources from different angles. Attendees will investigate OER quality through hands-on activities; see practical examples of project-based learning projects that engage students in OER creation; understand the intersection of OER and social justice; and learn about research studies showing the correlation between OER use and student success. Participants will leave with a better sense of how OER might fit into their personal instruction toolboxes.
Slides from a presentation given 9 March 2017 at the Digital Education Summit at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX. Session description: "Open Educational Resources (OER) can be great tools to enhance online courses. But what exactly are they, and how do you find them and put them to use? This session will define and illustrate OER broadly (and open textbooks in particular), highlight key tools for discovering OER, and share examples of how the integration of OER can benefit you and your students."
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

"While most of us can handle a certain amount of frustration, rejection, and
disappointment, it's the cumulative effect of this negativity that can lead to
exhaustion, paralysis, and/or depression. The problem occurs when we internalize the
negativity and allow rejection to impact our sense of our own intellectual capacity, self-
worth, and enjoyment of our work.“

You will be able to omit some of the contextual background that is included in class papers to demonstrate your knowledge, because most of your peer scholar audience will already share that background knowledge. You will maintain only enough introductory information to make clear the problem and purpose of your article.
Your methodology can often be condensed, and you do not need to include the depth of definitions and origins for each method or underpinning theory as you might do in a dissertation.
Your references list will be much less comprehensive. List only works you have actually cited, and cite only those works that are needed to identify the existing state of research on the topic, gaps in that research, and where your study fits.
Anonymous or “double blind” peer review can help to minimize the bias that comes from knowing an individual—whether that means favoring a friend or disfavoring a competitor.
However, it is important to be aware that other forms of bias may remain. Even without your name or institution, a reviewer may make assumptions about the country or state your research centers on, your topic or methodology, and a dialect that emerges from your writing. Those assumptions, whether accurate or not, may color how they view the work you have produced. Just as some made-up examples: They may decide that qualitative research about children’s feelings sounds like research that would be done by a woman, and subconsciously they may believe that women are not as knowledgeable in the field, and their review may be paternalistic or patronizing as a result. Or English might be your second language as an author, and if that is reflected in some of your vocabulary and syntax choices, the reviewer may, subconsciously or consciously, view the paper as weaker, even if the ideas themselves are sound.
Keep in mind that you may face these other less direct forms of bias. If you feel that a reviewer’s comments are unfair and prejudiced, you should courteously bring that to the editor’s attention.
Patience is the watchword! Peer review takes time. Remember that the editors and reviewers are faculty and researchers themselves. The editor needs time to review your submission for general appropriateness to the scope. Then they must select reviewers knowledgeable in the topic and send invitations. The reviewers need time to consider the invitation and accept, then time to actually review the paper and draft constructive feedback. If a reviewer declines or is late with submitting, this will add to the total time. Once the reviews are in, the editor must read and evaluate them, decide whether any inappropriate comments should be removed, and then draft their decision letter based on their own assessment of the paper and all compiled reviewer feedback. If reviews are contradictory, the editor may decide to seek yet another opinion after the initial review period has ended, which will make things take that much longer. Be patient and compassionate for the labor your peers are providing.
Revisions requested – it is very normal to go through at least one round of revisions, sometimes several. Do not assume that it reflects poorly on your research or writing. The goal is to shape your article into the best version of itself.
When you receive the reviewer and editor comments on your paper, some suggestions will be reasonable, you will see how they make the paper better, and you will make them. Some will be contradictory, two reviewers telling you two different things, and you will have to make a reasoned choice. And some suggestions will reflect changes that you can’t or won’t make for any of a variety of reasons. You need to communicate ALL of this when you submit your revised draft.
Your response should address the major comments and explain what change you made OR why you opted not to make a change. You don’t need to cow-tow to your reviewers, but your response should be respectful of their time and opinions. The structure of this response can take many forms; some people write out a narrative like a letter. I prefer a table in Microsoft Word, with one column summarizing the reviewer comment and another column explaining my action or response. Note that you don’t necessarily have to respond to every miniscule comment; with suggestions about a word choice here and a comma there, you can either make the change or ignore it. But substantive issues should warrant a response. The Selected Resources slide at the end of this presentation links to some good resources about developing strong responses to reviewers.
Ensure that all co-authors have a say in making revisions and addressing reviewer comments
Ensure that all co-authors are on the same page about who contributed what and how those contributions will be attributed. Constructing Author Contribution statements.
Sometimes your revised manuscript will go through another round of peer review, sometimes only editorial review. A paper can go through almost limitless rounds of review, if both the editor and the author continue to feel like progress is being made and the end result is worthwhile.
If your paper is eventually accepted, no further revisions required, it then goes into copyediting. A copyeditor checks all the small details, like the journal’s preferred spelling of a word, and makes sure all the journal’s required components are present, like a copyright statement or the dates the paper was submitted and accepted. Sometimes the copyedited version will be sent back to the author for a final glance, sometimes not.
Next the article goes into layout. One long column of text from Microsoft Word gets formatted into columns according to how the journal is printed. Images and figures are sized and arranged within the flow of text. And so forth. Sometimes a formatted file called “proofs” will be sent back to the author for a final glance, sometimes not.
Finally the article goes into production, where it’s actually placed into the issue (digitally, of course) and prepared to “go to print,” which I say in quotation marks since many journals are no longer physically printed, but we still use the same name for the finalized publication phase.
Some journals will post the article’s content on their website before it is officially “in print,” so that readers can access it more quickly. They may include a tag for some status like “online before print,” and often the article will not yet include volume, issue, or page numbers.
Finally it appears in print, either on paper or in an official digital issue with volume, issue, and page numbers. Now the publishing process is truly complete.
A rejection does not necessarily mean your paper was bad, it may have simply been a bad fit for that journal.
A rejection of one paper is not a rejection of all your work and ideas. You may simply need to work on how you communicate your work.
A rejection of a paper is not a rejection of YOU. It is not personal.
Recognize that all researchers experience rejection. You must try not to internalize it. If you are too prone to internalizing and suffering from rejection, academia may not be a healthy career for you to pursue.
