The more things change, the more they stay the same...”: Why digital journals...Pratt_Symposium
While the fundamental needs of researchers and functions of scholarly journals have remained largely unchanged, the form of digital journals differs little from paper journals. At a macro level, journals continue to serve the needs of author mode (registration, certification, dissemination) and reader mode (identification, selection, consumption). However, at a micro level, increased formalization and rhetorical mechanisms in digital journals reflect growth in researcher populations. The conservative evolution of journals is driven by the relatively constant human and philosophical requirements for knowledge generation, occupied information ecological niches, and emphasis on efficiency over novelty in tools. Future changes may come from sustainability pressures, groupthink, or disruptive technologies, but core functions are expected to persist due to their alignment with fundamental needs.

Emerging Trends in Scholarly Communication and the coming Decade of Open AccessLeslie Chan
The document discusses emerging trends in open access scholarly communications. It notes that open access is important for disseminating research, especially research relevant to development. Key issues discussed include changing contexts of research discovery and dissemination in the digital environment. Open access provides both philosophical and practical benefits by removing barriers to access. New metrics and forms of scholarly output are needed to better measure impact in open networks. The document advocates aligning incentives and policies to support open practices and networked scholarship.
Remapping the Global and Local in Knowledge Production: Roles of Open AccessLeslie Chan
It is generally acknowledged that researchers and institutions in the Global South suffer from knowledge isolation because of poor infrastructure and lack of access to key resources, including the current literature. The remedy is therefore capacity building and the transfer of not only knowledge, but also the institutional framework of knowledge creation from the North to the South. In this context, Open Access to the scholarly literature is seen as a means of bridging the global knowledge gap.
In this presentation, I argue that a key contributor to the continual knowledge divide and the invisibility of knowledge from the Global South is the persistence and dominance of Northern frameworks of research evaluation and quality metrics, coupled with outmoded national and international innovation policies based on exclusion and competitiveness. These narrow measures have tended to skew international research agenda and undermine locally relevant research.
A great opportunity that Open Access provides is the means to develop alternative metrics of research uptake and impact that are more inclusive of knowledge from the South, particularly those with development outcomes. In particular, it is important to re-conceptualize and re-design the metrics of research impact to reflect new scholarly practices and the diverse means of engagement enabled by OA and the new wave of social media tools. At the same time, appropriate policies need to be developed to reward open scholarship and to encourage research sharing — issues of particular importance for ending knowledge isolation. Examples of the new kinds of “invisible college” enabled by networking tools and OA will be presented, and particular attention will be paid to innovations emanating from the periphery.

Joining the ‘buzz’ : the role of social media in raising research visibility ...Eileen Shepherd
[This presentation is based on my previous presentation, of the same title, at the LIASA 2014 conference. It was presented as a webinar for LIASA Higher Education Libraries Interest Group on 6/11/2014]
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 or article level metrics). Altmetrics measures impact of research, data and publications, such as references in data and knowledge bases, article views, downloads and mentions in social media and news media. This presentation gives a brief background to altmetrics and demonstrates how Rhodes University librarians are using social media to raise the visibility of the research output of their institution. (Rhodes University is in Grahamstown, South Africa)

We often hear that we are in a transitional phase of open access publishing, but it is not always clear how we will reach a fully open access environment, what that will look like and what it means for scholarly research. This webinar will draw insights from a librarian survey we ran in 2015, discussing areas where librarians feel a lack of confidence and presenting technical and policy developments.
Register to gain a deeper understanding of:
• The historical and political context of scholarly publishing
• Funder and other policy requirements for Open Access (e.g. HEFCE and RCUK in the UK, Horizon2020 in Europe and NIH is the USA)
• Developing models of OA including “Gold”, “Green” and “hybrid”
• Jisc support services for OA
• Social media and OA – e.g. “Altmetrics” (alternative metrics) as potential indicators of impact beyond the traditional readership of scholarly material

This document outlines the lesson plan for a session on keeping up to date with current research. The session is divided into sections covering different tools for alerts and updates, including Table of Contents alerts in Zetoc, search alerts in ISI Web of Knowledge, alerts in Google Scholar, discussion lists, following blogs using RSS feeds in Google Reader, and creating groups in Mendeley. For each topic, the lesson plan lists the duration, topic, content to be covered, and teaching method, which generally involves a presentation and hands-on exercises for participants to set up alerts or subscriptions. The session concludes with a question and answer period and review of resources for further help and support.
This document discusses various methods for keeping up-to-date in humanities research, including current awareness services, discussion lists, blogs, and collaborative tools. It identifies email and RSS alerts, journal tables of contents, database search alerts, and Google Alerts as ways to receive notifications about new information. Discussion lists like H-Net and JISCMail are recommended for participating in conversations, while blogs can be used to disseminate research and build networks. Mendeley allows collaboration through features like reference management, PDF annotation, groups, and networking.
This document provides instructions for setting up RSS feeds and email alerts from various sources to stay current on research. It discusses using iGoogle or other aggregators to combine feeds, alerts from Zetoc which provides table of contents from journals, and setting up alerts from specific journals or searches in the Zetoc database. The aim is to help researchers efficiently monitor the latest information in their field through these digital tools.
This document discusses developing a research profile online. It recommends having an institutional profile, personal blog, and social media presence to showcase work, build networks, and reach wider audiences. Specific social media like blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Slideshare are discussed. Tips for effective blogging include regular posting, a clear focus and audience, and using links and images. Developing an online presence is becoming an expected part of academic activity.
This document outlines a module on starting a literature review. It includes exercises on defining a literature review, finding relevant databases, and constructing search strategy grids. The module covers five sessions: starting the literature review, exploring databases, managing references with EndNote, disseminating research, and keeping current.
This document provides examples of search strategy grids to help develop effective search strings for literature reviews. The grids list the research question, keywords, and synonyms for three different topics: the role of religion in North Africa's 2011 political disturbances, fairy tales and feminism in contemporary visual art, and personalizing learning for young people with Asperger syndrome. Potential search strings are developed using combinations of keywords and synonyms. The document also directs users to online quizzes for further practice developing keywords, synonyms and search strings.
Prensky characterizes today's young people as 'digital natives' who are native speakers of the digital language of computers, video games and the internet. The document provides instructions for a student to find information for their assignment within 20 minutes, including breaking down the assignment title, determining information needs, searching the library website and resources, finding relevant books and articles, recording the search process, and discussing results with other groups.
The document provides tips for effective searching when conducting research. It recommends getting keywords and phrases before beginning to search, broadening or narrowing search terms if no results are found or there are too many, and keeping track of searches and materials found in a research diary. The document also notes that course reading lists and additional readings from lectures are good starting points and that references can be organized using a citation manager.

7. Definition of an Impact Factor
The impact factor, often abbreviated IF, is a
measure reflecting the average number of
citations to articles published in
science and social science journals. It is
frequently used as a proxy for the relative
importance of a journal within its field, with
journals with higher impact factors deemed to
be more important than those with lower ones.
8. Uses and Limitations
The IF is used to compare different journal
titles in the same field
There are queries about the validity of the
measure
The IF can be calculated using Web of Science,
Scopus and Publish or Perish
Are they useful for your research?
Are they useful for Arts & Humanities?

• …discipline specific, e.g. ERIC
• …funder-specific, e.g. PubMed
• …institutional, e.g. Manchester

13. What is an Institutional Repository (IR)?
An institutional repository is…
…an online locus for collecting,
preserving, and disseminating – in digital
form – the intellectual output of a
research institution.
16. Why should I use an IR?
• Satisfy funder OA mandates
• Increased chance of citation for your
work
o Disseminate your ‘grey literature’
o Drive traffic to OA published
research
o Provide OA version of your
subscription barriered research
• Find related research
• Store for your work
17. What about copyright?
• All 7 research councils and the Wellcome Trust
advocate open access on all published outputs of
their funded projects.
(Source: http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/policy-and-legal/overview-funders-data-policies)
• Of the 328 publishers listed on SHERPA/RoMEO
58% allow postprint archiving without embargo.
(Source: SHERPA/RoMEO)
• 70% of publishers formally allow some form of
self-archiving.

Editor's Notes
Welcome & Introductions This is session 4 in a series covering PGR information Skills in the Humanities. Impact has become a very hot topic in academia particularly where research is concerned especially as the REF 2014 is approaching.
By the end of this session, you will be able to: Find information on e-scholar and demonstrate an understanding of the benefits that it will provide Identify Journal Impact factors for journal titles in your field Understand why impact is important to you and the institution Create a digital profile One of the competencies of a researcher according to the Rdf is in Domain D is regarding publication and communication of your research and the possible effects of your research. In most fields dissemination of research is considered to be an essential part of research Some of you may be working to professional standards but this document is also worth bearing in mind in terms of skills development for your future This may seem a long way off for you guys and you think may or not apply to you. But it is something to think about as your research progresses and may be something that you want to start to plan and be strategic about it. Think about getting the information to the right people in a way that they can use it. Have any of you thought about what you will do with your research. Is your research going to help others working in your area? Is you research publicly funded which requires that it be disseminated? Will you be thinking about publishing your work in a journal or through any other means? If you are you will need to consider your audience
Research is being carried out by thousands of individuals here at Manchester. There are in the region of 3,500 registered PhDs along with postdocs and research active staff. All are generating research. The research and communications environment is a complex relationship between governments research funders universities publishers, learned and professional societies, researchers them selves and the potential users of the research findings Are any of you funded by the AHRC They along with other funders say that There is now a greater need to involve researchers more directly in demonstrating the impact of their research. To enable this to happen, researchers need to be actively involved in thinking about demonstrating the value of their research and its wider impacts from its inception to completion By impact we mean the ‘influence’ of research or its ‘effect on’ an individual, a community, the development of policy, or the creation of a new product or service. It relates to the effects of research on our economic, social and cultural lives. Ideally for this to happen your research will have an audience. So for the next few minutes I want you talk with someone else in the room and answer these questions
This is taken from some research done in Australia in 2006 to illustrate how researchers in the different areas within Humanities communicate research. You can see there are differences in the disciplines It is recognised in a report from the Research Information Network that where applied research features there can be a difficult choice between being published in a prestigious journals and effective dissemination to practitioners and policy makers. Fields such as psychology education and politics So how do you communicate with your audience? What methods are there?
Research in the arts and humanities is often difficult to measure in terms of impact. Some research projects take the shape simply of a monograph sometimes it is a collaborative work where different organisations contribute different resources. Knowledge transfer. Research and results can take time to come to fruition, and then there is often no immediate tangible impact All the suggestions here will not happen overnight and probably not within a couple of years like the databases measure citations of STEM subjects. Department of Drama In Place of War researches theatre and performance practice from sites of crisis and armed conflict This context presents significant ongoing challenges for artists and cultural workers working in sites of crisis and armed conflict. In Place of War is concerned with their work: with theatre and performance practice that exists because of wars, crises and disasters - and in spite of them. Cities@manchester brings together researchers from across the arts, humanities and the business school connecting research institutes in architecture with poverty
Aim of Slide = to initiate discussion on why researchers need to be aware of impact factors Why are they important? In some disciplines it is vital to be published in the most significant, prestigious journal in a field in others the pressure is less but tensions may still exist in the form of do you want the kudos of being published for a career in academia or wider more effective dissemination Why do we need to know which is the best journal to be published in? Following discussion use flip chart to record answers Peer review Quality control Most read/ wider circulation Leads to greater impact Raises individual research status Raises institutional status Generates more funding for the institution Possibly generates individual sponsorship for further research Possibility of further publishing e.g. book Increases employability Demonstrates value for money where public funding is involved
Open JCR and demonstrate looking for an IF Journal Impact Factor The journal impact factor is the average number of times articles from the journal published in the past two years have been cited in the JCR year. The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the JCR year by the total number of articles published in the two previous years. An impact factor of 1.0 means that, on average , the articles published one or two year ago have been cited one time. An impact factor of 2.5 means that, on average, the articles published one or two year ago have been cited two and a half times. Citing articles may be from the same journal; most citing articles are from different journals. The Journal of mathematics and music now has an impact factor
One of the ways that you have or not mentioned is to use the web. It is possible to harness the web to showcase you (and your work). This something that you can begin to do now. Why do this, will it not be a waste of time? It will help you build up a professional network both within academia and outside in the professional sense. This is essential as it could lead to job opportunities future collaborations and keep you in touch with happenings in your area. f you are not sure where you’re headed or what you ultimately want to do, make sure you’re building many bridges. Someone once said to me that you should never burn bridges in academia because it’s such a small world. You never know when that person you’ve ostracised, criticised, or offended will end up in a position to make your life difficult. They may be one of your grant assessors, on an interview panel, a referee for one of your articles or book proposals, or your next Head of Department. The first lesson in building a profile is getting involved and participating in professional associations, conferences, and various groups (electronic and otherwise). That is, saying “yes” to a range of offers and opportunities. This includes applying for things like travel grants, seed-funding for new projects, and publication prizes where, if you are successful, the material outcomes are funding for travel, project funding, or publication, and the professional outcomes are wider, stronger networks, and a shiny line in your CV. That said, the second lesson is knowing when your time is fully committed; that is, learning to say “No.” It is much better to be known as someone who will deliver when they take something on, than to be involved in everything, then not following through. I have overcommitted myself on many occasions, then flogged myself to finish everything on time. This is not a recommended strategy if you want a decent quality of life. Saying “No” to selected opportunities does not diminish the number of prospects you are offered. Others have said this to me before, but I never believed them until years later. Once people get to know you and how good your work is, it’s surprising how long you stay on their radar. The third and last lesson isn’t a lesson as such; it’s an acknowledgement that a fair number of academic wins are down to pure LUCK. My first book contract came about because, as a new postdoc, I had coffee with a professorial colleague. When he heard that I had – more or less – a manuscript ready to go (i.e. my PhD thesis, tweaked), he name-dropped me to a new commissioning editor at an international university press who was looking for new material in my field. I couldn’t have set that up if I’d tried! The coffee also led to guest-editing a peak journal and helping convene an international conference; it was certainly a case of being in the right place at the right time. The lesson here is, perhaps, being open to opportunities whenever they might turn up. No successful academic remains in a vacuum. It’s up to you how much you want to play the game, but just don’t pretend that there isn’t one. You will be able to reach that wider audience There are some great online tools to help you in the form of social media. You may not have thought about using them for research purposes but they are useful. You could write a blog using wordpress or blogger become part a network. Twitter is a great way of connecting with people and keeping up to date but the session next week on current awareness will fill you in more on this. I do recommend that you keep your web professional web presence separate from your personal and that you do check privacy and security options. One of the images you may not recognise up there is the photo of the Manchester eScholar team and here is Scott to introduce you to it.
183 registered repositories in the UK.
Todays session has covered a lot of ground Broadly we have covered methods of disseminating your research so you and others can get the best out of it. We have talked about open access and using it as a method distributing your research to its audience. Using the University’s institutional repository and how it will work for you. Impact Factors and how to make the best use of them to raise your profile and that of your research How to measure your own potential impact And the limitations of those measures
This session has been brought to you today by Scott from the Manchester eScholar team and Sam from Information Skills If you have any questions or wish to follow up this session then please do contact us at this e-mail address and we will get back in touch with you as soon as we can. You can keep up with other things that are targeted at researchers by checking the blog and following the Twitter feed. The blog also stores most of the teaching materials that we use in for the research training programme. So things like slides, workbooks and handouts as well as links to how to do it videos for things like finding your h index using Scopus.
