This document discusses the impact agenda in history and issues with altmetrics. It notes that historians define impact as partnerships with museums, commentary opportunities, documentaries, online exhibits, work with schools and heritage sectors, policy consultancy, and popular books. However, altmetrics are far lower for history articles and do not fully capture traditional impact. Altmetrics also overrepresent author involvement and underrepresent monographs. The document argues that good impact should be purposeful through citation, word-of-mouth, curation, and helping to share research. Impact includes academic allusions, appearances in media, influence on heritage and public history, and Wikipedia citations. Qualitative assessment is important over just statistics.

1. The document discusses The Conversation, an online platform that amplifies public intellectual contributions from scientists through journalism-as-a-service.
2. The Conversation allows scientists to propose and draft their own articles, which are then developed and edited by journalists before publication.
3. It aims to provide scientists a widely accessible platform to engage in public debates and discussions about their research while also tracking the reach and impact of their contributions.
Layers of Communication: Forms of Talk on Twitter
The document discusses three layers of communication on Twitter: the macro level of hashtags (#hashtags), the meso level of follower networks, and the micro level of direct messages (@mentions). These layers interact and information can transition between them through retweets. Studying them individually provides only a limited understanding, as the layers intersect and public discussions on Twitter are interwoven with the wider media environment. More research is needed on how publics form and interact on Twitter, how communication patterns on Twitter relate to the broader society, and how to apply social media research methods beyond any single platform.

[Tim's additional note: This presentation is focused specifically on doing research around social movements and producing findings and contributing new knowledge about how activists use social media and online technologies – there is some very important and detailed quantitative analysis of Twitter discussions around social movements and uprisings which provide critical information about communication online and responses to international events, and my intent is not to discount this work just because it is quant-only – these studies do different things and have different aims, and so the scope of their findings is not the same by extension (I’m not sure that I made this point clearly in the presentation, though).]
Analysing the Norwegian Twittersphere
This document summarizes research analyzing the Norwegian Twittersphere. It describes how over 967,000 Norwegian Twitter accounts were identified and their follower networks were mapped. The Norwegian accounts were clustered into different topic groups like politics, music, and news. Over time from 2006-2015 the number and types of clusters grew. Town and county level data on accounts was also analyzed. The research is part of ongoing work to understand how social media impacts agenda setting during election campaigns.

Social Media in Australia: A ‘Big Data’ Perspective on Twitter
Invited presentation at the University of Melbourne, 4 April 2017.
Twitter research to date has focussed mainly on the study of isolated events, as described for example by specific hashtags or keywords relating to elections, natural disasters, public events, and other moments of heightened activity in the network. This limited focus is determined in part by the limitations placed on large-scale access to Twitter data by Twitter, Inc. itself. This research presents the first ever comprehensive study of a national Twittersphere as an entity in its own right. It examines the structure of the follower network amongst some 4 million Australian Twitter accounts and the dynamics of their day-to-day activities, and explores the Australian Twittersphere’s engagement with specific recent events.

Interactive Character Assassination: The Ethics of Historical Video Game Design
Like their cinematic counterparts, video games set in historical environments continue to be some of the most popular and best-selling of the medium. Historical settings from the ancient world to recent past form the backdrop or story for games across multiple genres, from arcade-style shooters to story-driven RPGs to intricate turn-based strategy games. The interactive nature of video games, and the player's ability to make meaningful choices within that setting, raises important ethical questions regarding the presentation of historical characters. Recent cases against the Call of Duty franchise, for their portrayal of 20th-century figures, are clear evidence of the impact such portrayals can have on those directly affected, but decisions about the portrayal of and possible interactions with long-dead individuals are equally deserving of critical attention. Likewise, gameplay mechanics, such as the manoeuvrability of sailing vessels or the damage inflicted by projectile weapons, are points of significant debate amongst both academic and gaming communities and can considerably impact both the commercial and critical success of a game. This paper will discuss the practical and ethical considerations of designing historical video games and how best to approach design in both a commercially viable and scholarly robust manner.

Review paper final
Early onset diabetes in children can lead to serious health problems. Studies show that diabetic children under 15 have a higher risk of developing high protein levels in the urine, which can lead to kidney failure. Younger diabetic children also have a greater chance of developing retinal damage. Research indicates paternal transmission may play a role in susceptibility to diabetes, with epigenetic factors involved. Proper treatment is important to manage risks, though current insulin injection therapy causes stress for children.

Ant photomicrography
This document discusses soldier ants, describing them as six-legged insects that live in colonies called ant hills. It notes there are three main types of ants - queens, workers, and soldiers - and that soldiers have a bigger head and stronger muscles to defend the nest. The document then provides several close-up microscope images of soldier ant anatomy, such as the head, eyes, jaws, and other body parts.
Imagining Communities: The Glasgow Advertiser and the Kentucky Frontier, 1790...
At the end of the eighteenth-century, The Glasgow Advertiser was the epitome of scissors-and-paste journalism. Under the sole proprietorship of John Mennons, this eight-page, biweekly newspaper provided the denizens of Glasgow with news from throughout Europe and the far reaches of the British Empire – all for 3 ½ pence an issue. Like many other provincial presses in Great Britain, Mennons worked as the paper’s main reporter, editor, compositor and printer and obtained the majority of its non-local content from London newspapers, curating the selection of national, international and imperial intelligence that would most appeal to the local Glaswegian audience. In some cases, this meant a truncated version of a lengthy account; in others, one or several full articles from the same page were reprinted in full. These were supplemented by a small amount of original reporting, rumours acquired from the Trongate, lists of local prices and sequestrations and the occasional humorous anecdote.
With so much of the Advertiser’s content mere reproduction, and with limited local competition, it is difficult to glean more than a faint spectre of Glaswegian public opinion from the newspaper press. Indeed, by most scholarly accounts, the Advertiser, though ultimately successful, was a thoroughly dull publication. Yet, there is something more lies hidden just below the surface. Although Mennons refused to surrender the Advertiser‘s accounts to it new owner in 1802 – their contents remaining a mystery – his editorial practices, and many of the biases and assumptions that informed them, can be reconstructed by examining his more unusual curatorial choices.
In 1780 and 90s, the Ohio River Valley was engulfed in warfare between the fledgling United States and a confederacy of tribes, including the military astute Miami. Over the course of the decade, Mennons devoted a disproportionate level of coverage to these engagements, often leading to the inclusion of tangential and dubious linkages to other skirmishes between European, United States and Native American groups. Going well beyond his traditional sources of news content, Mennons demonstrated particularly interest and skill in weaving the story of the Little Turtle Wars to his Glaswegian readers, leaving clues as to his vision of the relationship between the Scots and the North American frontier. This paper will explore the digital methods behind reprinting mapping, the process which allows us to discover the unattributed sources that made up the Glasgow Advertiser‘s news content, and the means by which curation, the choices made by reprinting editors, can provide us with a nuanced and revealing understanding of scissors-and-paste men, whose voices, until recently, were thought irrevocably lost.

Gatewatching 11: Echo Chambers? Filter Bubbles? Reviewing the Evidence
Lecture 11 in the course From Gatekeeping to Gatewatching: News and Journalism in the Digital Age.
This lecture series addresses the continuing transformation of the production and consumption of journalism in the contemporary media environment. It provides a brief history of the impact of participatory online news production and engagement practices – from the first wave of citizen journalism to the social media platforms of today – on how news content is disseminated and experienced; examines reactive and proactive responses to these changes by news organisations and journalists; and explores the longer-term impact of these developments on the public sphere, touching on the power of social media platforms and their role in shaping their users’ information diets.
Readings are largely drawn from Gatewatching and News Curation: Journalism, Social Media, and the Public Sphere (Bruns, 2018), with additional readings recommended for selected lectures.

The document discusses the past, present, and future of digital technologies and data. It covers topics like how open data and big data are changing how we analyze information and make decisions. Additionally, it explores how digital networks and media are illuminating how ideas and stories spread over time, such as identifying characteristics that helped 19th century news stories go viral. The document also references resources for working with open data and digital humanities.
Open Access: Which Side Are You On
Open access (OA) to scholarly literature recently hit a major milestone: Half of all research articles published become open access, either immediately or after an embargo period. Are the articles you read among them? What about the articles you write? Are the journals to which you submit open-access friendly? What about the journals for which you peer review? Are there any reasons why the public should not have access to the results of taxpayer-funded research?
In this slideshow, Jill Cirasella (Associate Librarian for Public Services and Scholarly Communication, Graduate Center, CUNY) explains the motivation for OA, describes the details of OA, and differentiates between publishing in open access journals (“gold” OA) and self-archiving works in OA repositories (“green” OA). She also dispels persistent myths about OA and examines some of the challenges to OA.
Social Media in Science and Altmetrics - New Ways of Measuring Research Impact
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.

The document summarizes a webinar on altmetrics presented by altmetric.com, Science-Metrix, and Elsevier Labs. Altmetrics measure the broader impact of scholarly works through social media mentions, downloads, views, and saves. They provide new perspectives on the societal and academic impact of research beyond traditional metrics like citations. However, altmetrics are still in early stages and have limitations like disciplinary biases since some fields are more active on social media than others. More research is needed to better understand what altmetrics represent and how they can most useful complement traditional metrics.Open Access Theses & Dissertations: Airing the Anxieties & Finding the Facts
Writing a thesis or dissertation is hard, and now that most theses and dissertations are deposited and distributed electronically, graduating students face an additional complication: they must decide whether they want to make their dissertations immediately open access (OA), or, at universities that require OA, they must come to terms with the fact that their work will be OA. In this presentation, I survey and scrutinize the anxieties and myths surrounding OA theses and dissertations.

Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers
As a result of the advent of internet technologies supporting participation on the internet via blogs, wikis and other social networking approaches, chemists now have an opportunity to contribute to the growing chemistry content on the web. As scientists an important skill to develop is the ability to succinctly report in a published format the details of scientific experimentation. The Royal Society of Chemistry provides a number of online systems to share chemistry data, the most well known of these being the ChemSpider database. In parallel the ChemSpider SyntheticPages (CSSP) platform is an online publishing platform for scientists, and especially students, to publish the details of chemical syntheses that they have performed. Using the rich capabilities of internet platforms, including the ability to display interactive spectral data and movies, CSSP is an ideal environment for students to publish their work, especially syntheses that might not support mainstream publication.

Georgian Pingbacks: Launch Event
The document discusses the history of sharing and reusing content between 19th century newspapers, often without attribution. It provides several examples of identical articles appearing in multiple publications written by staff writers, freelancers, and organizations. While sometimes seen as theft, sharing content was also common practice. The document explores the challenges of distinguishing sharing from stealing content before modern communication technologies and considers both criticism and defenses of these practices.

To create a successful newspaper in the 19th century, one would:
1) Obtain a printing press and typesetting equipment.
2) Subscribe to or purchase a variety of other newspapers for content.
3) Rely heavily on scissors to cut and paste stories from other publications into one's own newspaper.
Historical TEI: Developing a Portfolio of Common Practice
This document discusses developing a common practice for encoding historical documents using TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) standards. It outlines encoding bibliographic details, people, places, events, and encoding to support historiographical analysis and linking interpretations to build a network of scholarly arguments related to primary sources. The goal is to create a digital library of critical analyses on historical texts that can be analyzed computationally.

This document summarizes research on mapping attribution networks in 19th century newspaper articles. It describes "scissors-and-paste journalism" where one newspaper would reprint content from another, with or without attribution. The research used text comparison software to analyze newspaper articles from 1818-1819 and identify reprints. A network graph of reprints between newspapers was generated. Preliminary results found the most common sources of reprinted articles were from Ipswich, London, and other locations. The research helps shed light on historical newspaper practices and ethics of unattributed reprinting.
Boutique Big Data: Understanding 19th-Century Reprint Culture With Plagiarism...
From their earliest incarnations in the seventeenth-century, through their Georgian expansion into provincial and colonial markets and culminating in their late-Victorian transformation into New Journalism, British newspapers have relied upon scissors-and-paste journalism to meet consumer demands for the latest political intelligence and diverting content. Although this practice, wherein one newspaper extracted or wholly duplicated content from another, is well known to scholars of the periodical press, in-depth analysis of the process is hindered by the lack of formal records relating to the reprinting process. Although anecdotes abound, attributions were rarely and inconsistently given and, with no legal requirement to recompense the original author, formal records of where material was obtained were unnecessary. Even if they had existed, the number of titles that relied upon reprinted material makes systematic analysis impossible; for many periodicals, only a few issues, let alone business records, survive. However, mass digitisation of these periodicals, in both photographic and machine-readable form, offers historians a new opportunity to rediscover the mechanics of nineteenth-century reprinting. By undertaking multi-modal and multi-scale analyses of digitised periodicals, we can begin to reconstruct the precise journeys these texts took from their first appearance to their multiple ends. Moreover, by repurposing individual ‘boutique’ research outputs within large-scale textual analyses, we can greatly enhance the resolution of our computer-aided conclusions and bridge the gaps between commercial, state and private databases.
This paper will explore the possibilities of large-scale reprint identification, using out-of-the-box and project-specific software and the nature of multi-scale analysis and how we might best reintegrate ‘boutique’ research into large-scale text-mining projects.

Second, it will demonstrate the means by which reprint directionality and branching can be achieved and the relative precision of manual and computer-aided techniques. Finally, it will explore the nature of multi-scale analysis and how we might best reintegrate ‘boutique’ periodical research into large-scale text-mining projects.

Evolutionary Plagiarism: Tracing Dissemination Pathways in 19th-Century Reprints
A paper given at the University of Lancaster, 4 December 2014.
In the late-Georgian period, Scotland witnesses exponential growth in its newspaper industry. From a handful of eighteenth-century periodicals, the press expanded rapidly into the industrial and market towns of Scotland, hoping to supply a growing demand for international, domestic and local news and human interest stories. One of many avenues for procuring this content was the expanding press of North America. Owing to limited, ambiguous and unenforceable copyright legislation on both continents, a culture of reprinting allowed a rich tapestry of North American life to be woven in the British public consciousness. This repurposing, however, was far from transparent in its dissemination or evolution. In the absence of robust business or personal records detailing the selection and framing of such content in various locations, linguistic analysis of these reprinted texts can provide intriguing insights into the rationales behind reprinting, repurposing and recompiling descriptions of North America throughout the Anglophone world. This paper will discuss the opportunities and difficulties of reprint analyses of late-Georgian newspapers and present a number of case studies for the development of computer-aided methodologies in tracing dissemination pathways.
Mennons and MacGillivray: Scotland and the North American Frontier, 1790-1795
This document discusses the dissemination of news about the North American frontier in Scottish newspapers between 1790-1795. It focuses on John Mennons, the printer and editor of the Glasgow Advertiser, and Alexander MacGillivray, a Creek leader. The summary traces how stories about the frontier originating in American newspapers made their way indirectly to Scottish papers via reprinting in London papers, with minimal changes to the text. It concludes that tracing these pathways provides insight into who was writing, revising and curating frontier news at different points along the route.
Help Them Try Harder: Integrating the Digital into Historical Thinking
A Discussion of Digital Methodologies and Theory in History Modules. Presented at the University of Warwick at the invitation of IATL, 19 November 2014.
Crisitunity!
The document discusses digital humanities and educational technology (EdTech). Digital humanities involves using technology to develop new methodologies for examining how digital influences perceptions and interactions with humanities. EdTech refers to technology used in teaching. The document provides examples of how EdTech tools can be used for Canaries, such as accessing and revising teaching content, and for African Swallows, such as peer-to-peer learning through social media and developing employability skills. It also discusses teaching digital archive theory and practice skills like corpus linguistics, GIS, and data visualization, as well as integrating research-led pedagogy using digital tools.
Hunt or Gather, Share or Steal: Scottish News Networks, 1790-1840
Between 1783 and 1840, the number of newspapers published in Scotland grew tenfold and spread far beyond the key port towns of Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen into market towns and centres throughout the region. Although these provincial newspapers remained weekly or bi-weekly publications throughout the period, they still required a significant amount of international reportage to fill their four to eight pages. This material was shamelessly, and often haphazardly, gleaned from international periodicals in the form of scissors-and-paste reprints. Through these half-hearted shortcuts, we can develop a significant understanding of newspaper networks before the rise of international telegraphy and the slow decline of the scissors-and-paste system.
Utilising highly detailed transcriptions of newspaper content from Scotland, England and the wider Anglophone world, this paper will trace key dissemination pathways of news content from its origin in various British colonies and the United States, through its many reprints, abridgments, summaries and commentaries, to the pages of Scottish periodical press. By mapping the shape and directionality of these network connections, a greater understanding of news dissemination and editorial links can be achieved. These networks can then form the statistical basis of further qualitative studies into the spread of ideas or interpersonal connections.
The paper, developed and expanded from an initial proposal presented at ESSHC 2014, will demonstrate how, through a combination of traditional close reading, ‘big data’ edition tracking, and social network analysis, Georgian news networks, including periodicals with extremely short runs and no contextual records, can be significantly mapped and the quantitative influence of key hubs can be preliminarily determined. It will explore the relative value of manual and computer-assisted transcriptions at different stages of the project, the feasibility of training historians in high-level programming languages such as Python, the nature of the resulting network data and its interoperability with mathematical and sociology research, and the possibilities for wider dissemination and collective reuse of transcription data. Finally, the piece will demonstrate, through select case studies, how basic quantitative data regarding network dissemination pathways can fundamentally alter our interpretation of the purpose of miscellany material in Scotland’s provincial press.
Mapping Implicit Processes: Extracting Social Networks from Digital Corpora
This document discusses extracting social networks from digital corpora to understand the dissemination of information. It covers identifying reprints and memes at scale using digitized newspapers. Methods include keyword searching, n-gram matching, and edition tracking. Understanding dissemination pathways involves identifying memes, modeling chronological spread, and constructing genealogical models. Both manual and computer-aided approaches are discussed, with future plans involving developing a computer program and directional social network database to better model relatedness factors and inform additional research.
