Early Career Tactics to Increase Scholarly ImpactElaine Lasda
Workshp for Ph.D. candidates, postdocs and faculy on how bilbiometrics, altmetrics, open access, ORCID, and other resources enable greater visibility of research output.
Publishing a paper is a vital step in the academic and scientific journey, playing a pivotal role in advancing knowledge and establishing one's professional reputation. The process of learning how to publish a paper is crucial because it not only disseminates research findings to a wider audience but also ensures the work undergoes rigorous scrutiny through peer review. Through publication, researchers contribute to the collective understanding of their field, fostering a collaborative and dynamic academic environment. Understanding the nuances of manuscript preparation, journal selection, and submission protocols is essential for navigating the competitive world of academic publishing. Successful publication not only validates the credibility of the research but also opens avenues for career progression, securing research funding, and influencing the direction of scientific discourse. Learning how to publish equips researchers with the skills to communicate effectively, share their discoveries, and actively contribute to the growth and evolution of their respective fields.

Showcasing your Research Impact using BibliometricsCiarán Quinn
Seminar to make academics aware of the bibliometric resources available to them and how to use them to improve their research impact. The session looked at
• What are Bibliometrics and Altmetrics
• Why they are important for you
• How to identify your research impact
and research profile
• How to improve your citations
• How to identify potential research collaborations
Metrics: what they are and how to use themDavid Jenkins
In this training session we defined metrics (a.k.a. bibliometrics or quantitative research indicators), looked at how researchers are using them to demonstrate their excellence, contrasted three databases that provide metrics, examined certain popular metrics, looked at author profile systems in relation to metrics and discussed the uses and abuses of metrics.
We aimed to equip attendees with the knowledge they need to navigate this part of the research environment and we hope that people left with an understanding of how metrics can be useful and what their srengths and weaknesses are. The session really highlighted how metrics continue to be an important albeit contentious area that sheds a useful light on some of the murkier aspects of research assessment.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Koechlein "Collection Strategies: Determining the Best for Your Research Community"
1. Collection Strategies
Determining the Best for Your Research Community
Sarah Koechlein Pritchard
Head of Resource Access
James Madison University Libraries
2. Introduction
Head of Resource Access
● Oversee acquisitions and access processes
● Licensing, e-resources, materials budget
● Collaborate with Collections Analytics team for resource evaluation projects
3. James Madison University Libraries
JMU is located in Harrisonburg, VA
FTE of about 22,000
Population is primarily undergraduate with a relatively small graduate population
(~1,900)
Largest colleges are Business, Health & Behavioral Sciences, and Arts & Letters
4. Overview
Why journal quality and collection evaluation are important
Types of journal publications
● Acquisitions models (such as Big Deals)
● Access models (traditional, Open Access)
Tools and methods for evaluation
6. Quality
Understanding the publishing model for journals helps determine quality
Align support for particular models (open access) and avoid predatory journals
8. Traditional Journals- Big Deals
Big Deal” or “bundled” journal packages emerged in the late 1990’s with the rise of
IP authenticated access.
Large, legacy collections based on print journal prices.
Publishers included a bundle of other, previously unsubscribed journal titles for a
lump sum.
For publishers, the bundled content represented an otherwise non-existent revenue
stream, since the bundled titles tended to be low use, niche, or otherwise less
popular.
9. Traditional Journals- Big Deals
Today, the Big Deal represents an unsustainable pricing model that many libraries
feel locked into because bundles include some core content.
Recession created resistance to and rejection of the big deal. Libraries wanted
pricing that made it possible to move to e-only and pricing not based on historical
pricing and spending.
Bundled content is largely low-use content
10. Resisting the Big Deal
University of California system cancelled Elsevier contract in January 2019 of this
year
● Higher cost with reduced rights
● Limited ability for UC to financially support authors
● Elsevier excluded OA publishing in some of its journals
Norway reaches agreement with Elsevier
● Nationwide
● Norwegian authors published in OA journals through Elsevier
11. Open Access Journals
Open access scholarly content is available on the open web, free of charge to readers.
Reputable publishers
Manuscript publication- fewer copyright restrictions
Academic institutions are pushing publishers to move some (or ideally, all) journal
content to an OA model.
OA efforts break the publisher monopoly on scholarly content.
12. Open Access Journals
APCs
● Author paid article processing charges
Green OA
● Author of a work self-archives the work after publication.
● Libraries facilitate this effort by supporting institutional repositories.
Gold OA
● Publishers make peer-reviewed journals available on the open web.
● More disruptive to the current publishing model.
13. Predatory Publishing
“Predatory Publishing” coined by Jeffrey Beall in 2010
● Beall maintained a blacklist but without much justification for titles included.
Many legitimate titles were included simply because they were based in the
Global South
Predatory journals masquerade as legitimate OA. Create platforms and generate
money based on APCs.
Can be difficult to detect
Predatory = Unethical
14. Predatory Publishing
In 2014, the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) instituted a vetting process
for OA journals. DOAJ remains a reliable resource for true OA content.
DOAJ maintains “blacklist” of journals.
International ISSN Centre has also tightened guidelines for issuing ISSNs and
maintains the right to refuse.
Some large, reputable publishers are often described as predatory because they
promote Open Access as part of a business model, but charge high APCs.
SPARC
15. Distinguishing Predatory Journals
Lack of academic affiliation
Spam emails promising fast peer review processes and provide little information on
author-paid fees
Be aware of the newness of the publisher
Missing and inconsistent information: location, journal metrics, ISSN, indexing
More information by Monica Berger for ALA
17. Quality
Determining quality and conducting regular evaluation of journals is crucial to
maintaining relevant collections.
Essential for budget: shrinking and stable budgets necessitate regular review of
content for relevancy.
18. Journal Impact Factor
Traditional method for evaluating journal quality.
Developed in the 1970s.
Measure takes number of citations accrued in the previous 2 years of a journal’s
publication, divided by the total number of articles published in that journal.
The higher the figure, the higher impact.
Number is calculated in Scopus, Web of Science, and other sources.
19. Journal Impact Factor
Can be a useful indicator within a field, but the JIF can differ drastically between
fields based on funding and publishing frequency.
Typically, few articles in a journal are responsible for the JIF.
Should not be the only indicator for ranking and rating journals.
20. Cost per Use
COUNTER is a standard that many publishers and platforms use for harvesting and
reporting usage statistics for journals.
Using COUNTER allows for consistency in usage reporting, generating a more
reliable cost per use.
Cost per use divides cost across usage for a journal title.
Provides a good comparable metric to compare cost.
21. Cost per Use
Cost per Use gets tricky when dealing with bundled collections of journals that do
not have an individual cost associated.
Does not accurately reflect the quality of the journal.
Does not take into account whether a journal is used for research or curricula.
Not all vendors and platforms are COUNTER compliant.
22. New Methods
JIF and CPU serve a purpose when evaluating journals, but fall short of providing a
holistic picture of journal quality.
23. Moving away from JIF
CiteScore- CiteScore is the number of citations received by a journal in one year to
documents published in the three previous years, divided by the number of
documents indexed in Scopus published in those same three years.
SJR- SCImago Journal Rank. SJR is weighted by the prestige of a journal. Subject
field, quality, and reputation of the journal have a direct effect on the value of a
citation.
SNIP- Source Normalized Impact per Paper. SNIP measures a source’s contextual
citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a
subject field. It helps you make a direct comparison of sources in different subject
fields.
24. Open Access
When evaluating a journal collection, it is possible to use 1figr, Scopus, or Web of
Science to pull information based on percentage of the collection that is OA.
Be aware that this number may not be an accurate representation of OA since it can
be based on either Green or Gold standard.
25. Scholarly Communication and Altmetrics
NISO definition of Altmetrics:
● “Altmetrics is a broad term that encapsulates the collection of multiple digital
indicators related to scholarly work. These indicators are derived from activity
and engagement among diverse stakeholders and scholarly outputs in the
research ecosystem, including the public sphere”.
Understanding the impact that scholarly work has through institutional repositories,
social media, blogs, etc.
Moving away from citation-based measures.
26. Scholarly Communication and Altmetrics
Measures include social media and interaction on non-traditional scholarly platforms
(blogs)
● Reads, Tweets, Likes, Downloads, Bookmarks, etc.
Altmetrics tools (some open source and some proprietary):
● Explorer, F1000, Kudos, Mendeley Stats, ReaderMeter, ImpactStory, PloS
Impact Explorer, and PlumX
Tied to the open access and open data movement.
Atmetrics attempt to measure article or creator, not journal impact.
27. Scholarly Communication and Altmetrics:
Limitations and Room for Growth
Altmetrics measure attention, largely on social media. It can be difficult to decipher
the nature of the attention (also an issue with traditional metrics).
Interaction with scholarly content is open and available to a wide audience, not just
scholars. This is not a bad thing, but must be considered when measuring attention
received and that some topics and disciplines are more popular or accessible to a
wide audience.
Easy to generate “false” attention to a work.
