This document summarizes a presentation about using a researcher networking system (RNS) to meet researcher needs. It recommends taking two steps: 1) find out what researchers want and build features to satisfy their needs and 2) treat researcher profiles as products that need to be marketed, found, liked, and consumed. It then outlines a four step "researcher go to market" plan: market researcher profiles to draw interest, optimize search engine results to aid finding profiles, design understandable and personalized profiles to promote liking researchers, and support interactions to facilitate consumption of researcher information. The goal is to help researchers seek opportunities through an effective RNS system.

Researching Your Speech
What Is Research?
Libraries and Librarians are Our FriendsLibrarians have many tricks and shortcuts up their sleeves to make hunting for information easier and faster.Interacting with librarians and using libraries effectively is the first step to good research.
17 Strategies to Work
With LibrariansA research librarian is extremely knowledgeable about information sources.You can learn from a librarian and increase your own research skills.When on reference desk duty, the librarian is available to help; present yourself in person.A librarian can teach you, but can’t make excuses for late work.If a librarian is already helping someone else, wait your turn.
Strategies cont.When a librarian helps you find sources, have the courtesy to look at them.Research is a process, not an event; allow sufficient time.The librarian can’t do the work you’re supposed to be doing toward your own grade.Reference librarians are professional, highly educated information specialists; ask your “stupid” question.Good research takes time, and interacting with the librarian takes time.
Strategies cont.Students should expect reasonable questions from the librarian, such as: “Where have you looked so far?” “Have you been to a library workshop before?”Students should approach a librarian sooner rather than later.If you don’t have a well-defined topic to research, bring a copy of the assignment to show the librarian.
Strategies cont.Most academic librarians will give in-depth consultations to students by appointment.Students should be as specific as possible in what they ask for.Many research questions do not have ready-made or one-stop answers.Information comes in varying formats.
Research is Fun and UsefulYou get to ask questions and actually find answers.Research can open a world you never knew existed.Research can lead you to new ideas and activities.A scholarly investigation into a topic in order to discover, revise, and/or report facts, theories, and applications.
Three Functions of ResearchDiscovering occurs when people conduct some kind of study and find something completely new.Revision occurs when people revise existing facts, theories, and applications.Reporting happens after you accumulate information about a topic and report it to others.
Three End Results of ResearchA fact is a truth that is arrived at through the scientific process.A theory is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon.Researchers often look for new applications for something that already exists.
Primary ResearchResearch that is carried out to discover or revise facts, theories and applications, and is reported by the person conducting the research; it is active and creates new knowledge.
Types of Primary Research
Surveys or QuestionnairesSurveys or questionnaires you conduct are a type of primary research in which you collect facts, figures, or opinions. For a survey, you should ask four questions:Do you know what you want to ...
Information Literacy and Lifelong LearningIn the 21st century,.docxjaggernaoma
Information Literacy and Lifelong Learning
In the 21st century, it is important to be able to research and make wise decisions based on reliable information. In fact, employers have high expectations regarding their employees’ abilities to research. As discussed in the Post Your Introduction forum, due to the overwhelming amount of information available, researching and locating reliable sources to guide decision-making can be very challenging. Let’s examine in this discussion the challenges of research and how developing information literacy skills can help.
Prepare: Read Module 1 of your textbook to learn more about information literacy. Next, read the At Sea in a Deluge of Data article from theChronicle of Higher Education. This article details the research expectations employers have of new employees hired in the digital age.
Reflect: Consider your reaction to the information in the article, At Sea in a Deluge of Data, and Module 1 and identify areas that you connected with the most. Based on the article and Module 1 of your text, consider how information literacy skills can impact being a critical consumer of information.
Write: With Module 1 of the textbook and the article, you explored in mind, answer the following questions in your discussion post:
· Based on the information you read in Chapter 1 of your textbook and the At Sea in a Deluge of Data article, how would you define information literacy?
· How can improving your information literacy skills help you in being a critical consumer of information, in the ongoing pursuit of knowledge, and in your professional career ambitions?
Your initial post should contain a minimum of 350 words written in complete sentences. It must answer all aspects of the prompt (refer to “Think about it this way” below). It must be posted by 11:59 p.m. Thursday evening. Correctly cite the source of any information that you use in your post.
Think about it this way...This discussion is asking you to do six things.
· Read Module 1 in your textbook and the At Sea in a Deluge of Data article.
· Based on your textbook and the article, write a paragraph explaining how you would define information literacy.
· Answer the question, “How can improving your information skills help you in being a critical consumer of information?”
· Answer the question, “How can improving your information skills help you in the ongoing pursuit of knowledge?”
· Answer the question, “How can improving your information skills help you in your career ambitions?
What Is Information Literacy?
Information literacy is the ability to identify a need for information and successfully locate, evaluate, and use that information ethically and legally for a determined purpose. For this course we’ll focus on information literacy regarding your research papers for school. But information literacy is important in all aspects of life. Being information literate can help you research schools to find the one that’s best for your child,.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Meeting your Researcher Needs with an RNS
Eric Meeks, CTSI at UCSF
VIVO Conference, August, 2014
2. Meeting your Researcher Needs with an RNS
in Two Not-So-Simple Steps
1. Find out what they want and build it.
– Even if they don’t know what they want, they think
they do. Satisfy their whim and they will like you.
– We’ve built extensions into our RNS based on
direct research input (mentoring, list tool)
2. “Objectify” your researchers.
– This is less obvious than step 1, but has more
impact.
– Think of your researchers as products, not (just)
users.
3. Researcher “Go to Market” Business Plan
Market -> Find -> Like -> Consume
1. You want people to seek out information about
your researchers.
2. Then you want them to find that information.
3. Next they need to understand and (hopefully) like
that information.
4. Finally, they need to do something useful with
that information.
• The 4th item it what we all want, but order matters so you need
these other 3 things to happen as best you can.
4. Step 1: Market
• Do what you can at your local institution
– Send out emails.
– Have more important people than you send out
emails.
– Talk to departments.
– Share data, give away iPads, etc.
• Understand and accept the fact that you are
not the best marketer for the researcher.
They are, and that is good.
5. Step 2: Be Found
• Invest heavily in Search Engine Optimization
• Invest more heavily in SEO
• Talk to Anirvan Chatterjee on how and why to
do SEO
» http://profiles.ucsf.edu/anirvan.chatterjee
6. Step 3: Be Liked and Understood
• Make your profile pages pretty
• Make your pages understandable at a glance
• Give your researchers many ways to express
themselves
• “Consumerization of Technology”
– Your web users may end up being smart and
inquisitive, but they start off being lazy and
“unwilling to think”. Thank Google and Amazon
for this.
7. Step 4: Be Consumed
• Helped me prepare lectures and work with students
• I found a potential book contributor
• It helps me find info about faculty
• Identify potential mentors
• Looking for research opportunities
• Great resource for finding potential research
collaborators and for PhD dissertation committees
• Helped prepare research critique
• Helped find new nursing research problems
• Found info about doctors
8. Meeting your Researchers Needs
• Researcher Information is a Product that:
1. Wants to be wanted
2. Wants to be found
3. Wants to be liked
4. Wants to interact with someone
Editor's Notes
If you find the 2nd point offensive I apologize. And you need to get over it.
You have a product, now you need a business plan.
Something useful may mean collaborate. It may mean find a mentor.
If you’re a patient or a friend of a patient it can mean many things. Search for a clinical trail, or learn more about a condition this researcher is an expert on.
If your UofT and you are looking at the UCSF profiles site, it may mean to hire them.
We don’t have a good quantitative way to measure item 4 yet, but we do have anecdotal evidence
No silver bullet. This is pick and shovel work.
By researcher we mean researcher and their work.
If no one is interested in your institution on your researchers in the first place, there is not much an RNS can do. The good news, this isn’t your fault.
We can market our profile pages but not the researchers themselves. You want to solve this problem, you need to work at an institution that does good research. There’s only so much we can do about this and it’s good to recognize. We’ve done what we can. We get people excited about KBD’s Profile Page but at some level they need to be excited UCSF, or research at UCSF or a researcher at UCSF first. That’s what the rest of UCSF needs to do to make our job easy. The researchers do have some responsibility for making UCSF look respectable.
Good to mention that robert lustig is the most viewed pages. Kudos to him, not us.
See that URL and the name. That’s about SEO!
We get more traffic from google/bing/yahoo than anything else BY FAR!
Are researchers using our RNS systems in their day to day work? Maybe. Are they using the internet? Yes
This is phase one of the “consumerization of technology”. Search engines matter. A lot.
Pretty and simple matters.
If your researchers say that it doesn’t matter and that having complete and correct information is all that matters, they are wrong.
How to do this? There are online resources that can help you beautify and simplify your pages.
Don’t make me think!
We have a small survey that pops … surprisingly many folks do leave us substantive comments
We actually are proud of our local instance of Profiles.
Note the ‘researcher as product, as well as user/actor’ in these quotes.
If a no-researcher comes to our site to read about Robert Lustig and considers reducing the amount of soda they drink based on what they find on our site, that is an absolute win! Dr. Lustig did not get a collaborator out of this engagement, but he did improve someone’s health, and that is the final goal.
Having said all this, this is just the starting point for what needs to be done to satisfy our researchers.
This is the cost of doing business on the internet, and we need to do more to really tap the values of our tools.
We can market our profile pages but not the researchers themselves. You want to solve this problem, you need to work at an institution that does good research. There’s only so much we can do about this and it’s good to recognize. We’ve done what we can.

That’s what the rest of UCSF needs to do to make our job easy. The researchers do have some responsibility for making UCSF look respectable.
Good to mention that robert lustig is the most viewed pages. Kudos to him, not us.
SEO is the most critical think you can do, so do it. Are people using research networking tools to find out about researchers? Sure, some are. But a different question: Are people using the internet to find out about research and researchers? Of course they are, so consider that square one. It’s the consumerization of technology.
And… most of our traffic still comes from google/bing/yahoo, much more so than our internal search or any other search products we at this table have built. And most of those searches are based on a persons name. Goes back to the SEEK element. Robert Lustig did whatever it is he does to get so many people googling for his, we just made sure they found profiles in the process.
Back to the “right people” comment a few slides back. We do look at our traffic to see how much is coming from UCSF, other institutions, government agencies, big pharma and general public. Someone looking for a researchers at UCSF might be a researcher looking for a collaborator (the big win) or it might be someone from the general public who is just curious about one of our researchers or the work they do (smaller win, but still a win). Seo isn’t going to get people who are looking for funny cat videos artificially driving up the traffic on your site, so don’t worry about that. Anyone who finds a profile page on your site and bothers to read it is the right audience. Having said that, we do monitor the flavor of our traffic so that if we make a change to the system and things go in a direction we don’t care for, we can look into it.
LIKE. Make the profile pages look nice. Make it pretty, people like pretty. If your researchers say they don’t care about how it looks and that they only care about how informative and complete the data is, they are LIEING to you. IF they really believe in this they are LIEING to themselves (and Anirvan can probably prove that with some of this Google Analytics magic, but let’s not go there). You can’t escape the cosumerization of technology so embrace it and make it your friend, not your enemy. Orng is good for this because the commercial content we bring in is, well, commercial. They know that pretty matters. (Show RDF/XML. This is the same data as the HTML. If we didn’t care about pretty we could all just do this.
CONSUME
Make the data understandable at a glance, but of course allow people to go deeper if they want to (show global health dude).
