RSA is partnered with Kudos (www.growkudos.com) to help members and authors increase readership and citations of their published research. Kudos provides two services: a platform for you to add a plain language explanation of your work (helping more people find and understand it), and a tool for helping you track your efforts to share your work (e.g. by email, in presentations, or via academic networks / social media). Kudos brings together a range of metrics (views, downloads, citations and "Altmetrics") to help you track the effect of your efforts, learn which communications are most effective, and save time in future by focusing on those efforts that correlate to improved readership and citations. A 2016 study showed that articles for which the Kudos tools had been used had, on average, 23% higher readership.
Charlie Rapple, one of the Kudos founders, will lead this session, explaining how to get started and showing examples of how other regional studies researchers are using the system to increase the reach and impact of their work. The session will also include (a) some of the wider evidence that connects plain language explanations of research, or efforts to communicate more actively, with improved impact and (b) findings from the 2016 study including which sites researchers most commonly use to share links to their work, and which sites actually result in the most people clicking those links.
Why do researchers share, and how should publishers respond?Kudos
Slides from my NFAIS talk, 25 May 2017, as part of a webinar entitled "How Social Should Social Collaborative Networks (SCNs) Be?". Abstract: In this session, Rapple shares data and insight from a recent study of 7,500 researchers and their sharing behaviors. She discusses the driving factors for SCN use, how frequently researchers accessed them, and for what underlying purposes. She also addresses researcher perceptions on copyright and sharing, the real value researchers receive from SCNs, and how changes in researcher behavior might affect publishers and libraries.

While the scholarly communication community substantially endorses the idea, it hasn’t fully resolved what a data publication should look like or how data peer review should work. To contribute an important and neglected perspective on these issues, we surveyed ~250 researchers across the sciences and social sciences, asking what expectations “data publication” raises and what features would be useful to evaluate the trustworthiness and impact of a data publication and the contribution of its creator(s).

How Effective Are The Supplements I'm Taking (request for participants)HEMA Biosciences
More of us than ever are reaching for supplements. Some take them to bridge nutritional gaps, others to cure ailments, then there are those that indulge in them just for an improved sense of wellness.
Though for decades the question of how effective supplements are from a nutritional standpoint has stirred up great debate – often with little scientific reasoning.
This week we have seen the news cycle explode on the subject, much of the content being highly conflicting and doing little to address what is for the most part, speculation.
We wanted to address the subject from the ground-up. And we’re going to need your help to do so.

Discussion ( 150 words and sources and References) ( this is what need to be done)
Reflect on your research intentions and a variable which may be potentially of interest to you. Please describe this variable and how you may measure it (e.g., which sample will you approach). Then explain whether you expect it to be normally distributed and the logic for your assumption. If you expect a deviation from normality, please explain how you may deal with it. You may search external sources for addressing the last point.
The followings are the resources for the discussion.
NOTE FOR THIS Discussion
Discussion
Learning Outcomes
· Develop critical thinking regarding variables and their distributions.
Module Overview
In this module we use the language and knowledge we acquired in the previous module and start talking about basic statistical measures, which allow us to understand the data we collect. Before we run inferential analyses, we need to be able to describe the data and understand its qualities. For these purposes, we will discuss the concepts and applications of frequency distribution, shapes of distributions, skewness and kurtosis measures, and measures of central tendency (mean, mode, median), measures of dispersion (standard deviation, variance and range). We will then discuss when to use which measure and emphasize the advantages of using well-validated existing scales when they exist. Finally, we will discuss one of the most important distributions in management research, namely the normal distribution which is the basis for most statistical techniques we will in this course and beyond. In this context, we will also discuss z-scores, probability distribution and percentiles.

Improving practice through evidence not only helps lower healthcare costs, improve healthcare outcomes and patient safety, but it also helps to increase job satisfaction for medical professionals (Kim, et al, 2016). Disseminating information about widely cited evidence-based practices is an important part of moving our healthcare system forward. According to Melnyk (2012), it often takes several years for the results of research to be put into practice and actually affect patient care.
The first strategy that I would utilize to disseminate EBP information would be unit-level education. I would initially provide an in-service to provide education about the EBP that would be beneficial to our unit. I would also utilize a second strategy of unit posters as well as a unit-based champion to help reinforce the positive results of the EBP. Barriers to this types of information being learned and then used in practice would be each persons willingness to learn something new and change the way they may be used to doing something. I would combat this by starting out the presentation with information about evidence-based practice as well as provide a fact-sheet about the evidence in the research that is being presented. Another way I would combat this would be to lead by example and try to demonstrate the EBP in every day practice. Melnyk et al (2011) stated that in order “for clinicians to change their practices to be evidence based, both their beliefs about the value of EBP and their confid.

Scholars, scientists, academic institutions, publishers and funders are all interested in impact. We have different roles and goals, and therefore different reasons for needing to understand impact; we are therefore asking different questions about impact, and those questions continue to evolve, much as the concept of impact itself is evolving. To answer our different questions, do we need different data, in separate silos, or are we looking at the same data, from different angles? This session gathered researcher, library, publisher and metrics provider perspectives to consider who has an interest in impact, what data they are interested in, how they use it, and how the situation is evolving as e.g. business models and technical infrastructures shift.

Introduction
The goal and objective of almost all companies is to become and remain successful throughout the life cycle of the business. Success determined within a business can be measured through company performance for instance in sales, profitability, revenue indexes, return on investment and also through innovation that a company can attribute as an achievement or advancement in the field they operate in. Performance and innovation are the two main key indicators of success or failure of any business. The current trend right now is that companies are investing a lot of resources to ensure they optimize and increase their innovative and performance indexes. One way this can be done is through ensuring the organizational culture is outstanding and the understanding of the market demand is well understood.
My hypothesis
Market demand is usually the collective individual demand for products (either goods or services) that occurs within a given market. This is basically one of the drivers of the demand-supply market mechanism, where market demand is where buyers or customer or clients of a particular good or services collectively can have an impact on the supply of these goods and services. This will mean when the demand of certain products that a business is risen then the general performance, profitability and customer flow within the business is also risen and the vice versa is true if it drops then performance drops. On innovation market demand has a degree of influence that is demand for a service or product can drive a company to become more innovative or inventive to come up with solutions or products that can satisfy the current demand for the particular product.
Organization or organizational culture basically involves the inner environment, set up and culture of an organization. Basically the organizational culture is the policies, beliefs, core values, moral compass and the assumptions or standards in which a company conducts its daily business activities. This will dictate how a company interacts with its employees, customers, rivals and the law. It also can dictate a company’s working environment. Companies’ culture is usually defined and implemented in their company policy and enforced by the human resource department. A company that has exceptional business standards and ways of operating usually build a good reputation which attracts customers, also a working environment usually filled with morale and positive vibes can significantly improve the output of e.

Week 3 Initial Discussion Post
The Role of Theoretical Frameworks in Research
Research is a process of evaluating a concept or theory concerning a specific subject. Analysis of a theory includes examining the behaviors and characteristics of people and how they interact with biological, interpersonal, and environmental factors (Polit & Beck, 2017). Every theory attempts to explain phenomena and how they are related to a specific purpose. Valid research uses a theory or model as the building blocks. Nursing theory relies on models to define what nursing is and the processes involved in providing care (Polit & Beck, 2017). In this post, I will examine a research example that has adopted different theories and models to design, implement, and evaluate health promotion efforts (Joseph, Daniel, Thind, Benitez, & Pekmezi, 2016).
Research Review
Finding research related to nursing theories and models was an easy task. Many fundamental nursing policies and procedures are founded on either a theory or a model. For this paper review, I chose the transtheoretical model which states that “transition from one stage of change to the next are affected by processes of change” (Polit & Beck, 2017, p. 124). The research paper was focused on reviewing numerous theories used to assess long-term maintenance of physical activity, weight loss, and smoking cessation (Joseph et al., 2016). Within this research, the authors referenced five prominent behavioral theories which are self-determination theory, the theory of planned behavior, social cognitive theory, transtheoretical model, and the social ecological model (Joseph et al., 2016). The paper excluded studies that referenced cognitive behavioral therapy used for intervention. PubMed and PsycINFO were used with relevant search terms and Boolean operators. Each article was then reviewed by three different reviewers.
Transtheoretical Model
In this article, the transtheoretical model (TTM) was used to define and recognize behavioral change through natural processes. The total number of participants was 20,645 with over 65% of participants being female with a mean age of 49.9 years (Joseph et al., 2016). TTM is a combination of behavior change theories and psychotherapy (Joseph et al., 2016). TTM presumes people move through the five stages of behavioral change which are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance in a cyclical manner instead of a linear route (Joseph et al., 2016). Often participants in the study found themselves making progress with physical activity, weight loss, and smoking cessation only to regress creating a cycle of one step ahead and two steps back(Joseph et al., 2016). Relapse is a common occurrence with TTM for new patients and long-term patients. Maintaining the stage of change can be challenging due to intrinsic and extrinsic.

The Nurse Leader as Knowledge Worker

Purpose
Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
The concept of a knowledge worker
The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by Peter Drucker. Ducker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services (CFI, 2019). He emphasized that due to the high level of productivity and creativity of knowledge worker, that they would be the most valuable assets in the 21st century organization. Professionals that can be referred to as knowledge worker includes engineers, pharmacists, architects, financial analysts, public accountants, physicians, scientists, design thinkers, and lawyers. Furthermore, knowledge workers have a high degree of expertise, experience, education and the primary purpose of their jobs involve the distribution, creation and application of knowledge.

Nursing Informatics
Nursing Informatics is a subset of informatics, specific to the nursing field and the role of the nurse in the healthcare setting. There has been several interpretation of nursing informatics. The American Nurses Association (ANA), identified nursing informatics as a specialty that integrates nursing, science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice (ANA, 2001, pg.17).

Nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
A nurse leader is one who inspire others to work together to achieve a common goal, for instance enhanced patient care or satisfaction. All nurses are called to nurse leadership, however there are different levels of nurse leadership. Nurse leaders are expected to help the organization to fulfill the organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategies to achieve long-range plans. Nurse leaders part take in policy setting, overseeing quality measures are carried out, accountability for overall quality of patient care delivery, staff satisfaction and organizational outcomes. For a nurse leader as a knowledge worker to be productive in an organization, the nurse leader must understand that knowledge work requires continuous learning on the part of the knowledge worker, but equally continuous teaching on the part of the knowledge worker. Having said that, a knowledge worker nurse leader will depend hugely on evidenced based practice to be productive in a healthcare organization. The use of EBP by knowledge worker nurse leader will require learning and teaching. Most healthcare organizations or hospitals rely on evidenced based practice to im.
A meta-analysis is the use of statistical methods to summaries the results of the studies. Meta-analyses are conducted to assess the strength of evidence present on a disease and treatment. The results of a meta-analysis can improve precision of estimates of effect, answer questions not posed by the individual studies, settle controversies arising from apparently conflicting studies, and generate new hypotheses. In particular, the examination of heterogeneity is vital to the development of new hypotheses.

Building a narrative for researchers around Open Research ImpactKudos
Around the world, we continue to see a proliferation in policy direction relating to open access and open research. Uptake of OA has continued to grow, with growing awareness from researchers about the benefits of open research. However, how researchers understand the impact of publishing openly – from articles to books and research data - is sketchy at best. A number of studies have attempted to understand how open research is increasing scholarly impact, predominantly from a bibliometric perspective. In this session we will provide a publisher, library, researcher and funder perspective on how and why we are working to increase understanding amongst researchers of the reach and impact of publishing open access articles, books and data.

Kudos for Research Groups is a platform for collaborative management of dissemination, engagement and impact. It surfaces and captures evidence of communications activities already undertaken by researchers (including publications, events, posters, press releases, talks, workshops, consultancy, emails, social media posts, video / visual summaries, interviews, blogs etc). It also helps researchers to expand the channels they are using, and to take a more strategic approach to planning, managing, measuring and reporting on communications around their work.
* Plan: Tools for identifying appropriate channels and activities for reaching target audiences; ability to collaboratively set up a plan of activities, including timelines and person-by-person task lists
* Manage: Profile pages for projects / grants, publications and other outputs / objects. Trackable links for capturing communications around these, and engagement across different channels. Assistance in preparing briefings for industry, policy makers, media, educators, healthcare practitioners (etc) and distribution of these briefings to Kudos’ audiences in each of these sectors.
* Measure: Harvesting of a range of relevant metrics which are then mapped against activities to show success of different channels in reaching target audiences. Insight into areas of high engagement and impact potential, and mechanisms for following up with engaged audiences to request / capture evidence of impact.
* Report: Ability to export all engagement and impact activities for reporting to funders, institutions etc, and for analysis to support future dissemination planning.
Research dissemination: what's happening, what's missing, what's next? (ARMS ...Kudos
Strategic dissemination is key to successful creation, recording and communication of engagement and impact, but currently “guidance provided to researchers [about dissemination] is too general ... there is almost no training and few tools provided to research managers and administrators" (Phipps et al, JRA XLVII:2). Individual institutions provide a range of supporting services and systems, but researchers still tend towards systems and behaviours that transcend institutional boundaries (for example, using ResearchGate rather than institutional repositories to promote publications). A further challenge is capturing / comparing data to evaluate activities and channels and make evidence-based decisions about future strategies. Building on our previous work looking at researchers’ reputation management and sharing behaviours, we here present our latest research exploring attitudes towards and experiences of collaborative dissemination, and with insights into the tools or processes that would help researchers to collaborate with each other, and with research managers / administrators, in more effectively planning, managing and measuring dissemination.
Broadening the Definition of Altmetrics - 5am conference - David SommerKudos
In this presentation I discuss how researchers are using offline, private channels to communicate their research in addition to online, public channels. I explore the axes of communication, digital visibility and provide examples of how researchers use Kudos to share in closed, private channels and check the effectiveness of their dissemination. Altemtrics are just the tip of the iceberg maybe we have undervalued the data we are building up about offline and closed channel coms. The data set we are building with the 250,000 researchers using Kudos helps us provide guidance and recommendations to ensure researchers are disseminating effectively and not going unrewarded.

Academic reputation: how to create it and how to sustain itKudos
Slides from "The Good Researcher's Guide to Publishing" talk by Charlie Rapple and Laura Simonite from Kudos, February 2017.
Abstract: This session explores the importance of academic reputation, how it is created, and what you can do to enhance yours. We also look at the support the Kudos toolkit can provide in terms of explaining your research to a wider audience,
and measuring the impact of your activities related to spreading the word about your publications using real-life examples and case studies.
The presentation draws on a survey of 3,000 academics in April 2016, and is particularly focused on communication of research both within and around publications.
Keynote talk from the Regional Studies Association's "Towards Impact" conference for Early Career Researchers, held at the Newcastle Business School in October 2016: http://www.regionalstudies.org/conferences/conference/rsa-stud-ec-conf-2016
This talk explores:
• Why the pressure for impact?
• How is impact defined?
• Who is responsible for impact?
• If impact is built on readership, how do you increase readership?
• With so many tools and techniques for increasing visibility, how can you get started?
• What should your impact strategy be?
• How should you measure your success?
ICOLC 2016: Boosting visibility and impact of published researchKudos
A tour of Kudos to show the content in which it was developed (competition for funding, growing impact agenda, huge growth in output, fight for visibility and usage , “off-grid” sharing), our vision (more impact for research, more recognition for researchers), the platform through which we do this (a central system for explaining publications in plain language, managing sharing across multiple channels, and measuring effect across multiple metrics), the extent to which it works (use of the Kudos toolkit correlated to 23% higher downloads of full text on publisher websites) and how this data is made available to institutions (libraries, research offices and communications teams).
Data diving: understanding reputation management for researchersKudos
As researchers take a more active approach to managing their reputation, what can the data generated by their activities tell us about the best ways to present research online? Many different parties across the scholarly communications community are seeking to understand the data in their respective systems, to determine cause and effect across a range of activities and outcomes. What pitfalls must be avoided, and how can we better integrate our efforts to maximize understanding of the tools to which researchers are turning to support career progression.
What is search engine optimization (SEO) and why does it matter for researchers? This talk looks at how search engines understand and rank academic publications, and considers the importance of the structure of the text, the language used, and the links to publications from other web pages. This talk formed the first part of a workshop during the British Ecological Society's Annual Conference in Edinburgh in December 2015. The workshop then proceeded into practical exercises for the participating researchers to practise writing well-pitched keywords, meaningful titles, and well-balanced abstracts.
David Sommer, Product Director and Co-founder at Kudos spoke at the Atypon Engage 2015 event and discussed some of the tools available to help increase research impact. He suggests a checklist to help you evaluate the various tools and to ensure you select the right tools to help deliver your goals. @growkudos

Slides from talk at #STMimpact (19 Nov 2015, London - http://www.stm-assoc.org/events/publishing-impact/)
Authors are the best people to explain their work, and at the centre of the most appropriate networks for sharing that work. Yet it’s often difficult to get them to engage in efforts to promote their work. There are many reasons for this - chief among them is that authors don’t realise how effective simple efforts can be, and are put off by the myriad different approaches of their multiple publishers. Kudos has attempted to address this with a standard toolkit for explaining and sharing research, a range of metrics against which to measure the impact of this, and dashboards to help publishers better support and amplify authors’ efforts.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

What’s it about?
We used a manual approach to c urate struc ture based data for a
public ly available physic ochemic al property dataset. Using this
experienc e we developed an automation proc edure using KNIME to
process multiple other datasets and then developed QSARprediction
models and examined the influenc e of data c uration on the statistic al
performanc e of the models.
Why is it important?
Data quality is important. For the development of QSAR predic tion
models this paper showsthe importance of data c uration and how it
influenc es the resulting statistic al performanc e of the models and why it
is worth the upfront investment in c hec king and validating the data. This
work focused only on the chemic al struc tures, NOTthe ac tua l property

I have been working on issues regarding data quality for
years and this partic ular example clearly demonstrates
the impact on QSAR models. The resulting models are
available via the online website https:// c omptox.epa.gov
and are exposed with all of the relevant statistic s for
global and local domain of applic ability as well as
nearest neighbors. The QSAR Model Report Format reports
detail the development of the models and ALL training
and test data are available also. This, I believe, is a major
contribution to Open Science in our domain.

Editor's Notes
Hallo ; thankyou Lindsay;
And thanks to Kim and ISMTE for inviting me to join this session.
The title I started with was “getting authors involved in promoting their own content”
But of course, authors are already promoting their own content!
George referred to the Nature survey in which 57% of respondents said they used scholarly collaboration networks to support self or research promotion
And coincidentally, in a survey we conducted around the same time, which had over 7,500 respondents, we had the same figure – 57% - saying they upload copies of their articles and books to scholarly collaboration networks.
So the challenge for those of us here, then, is not “how to get authors to promote their work”
It’s “how can we encourage them to do this in a way that doesn’t cut publishers out of the picture – how can we persuade authors to promote their work in ways that publishers can support, amplify, learn from and benefit from.”
Because it is of course a HUGE concern that 57% of authors are uploading copies of their work to “off grid” sites such as ResearchGate and Academia.edu where the access to those publications can’t be managed or tracked by publishers.
And this is the challenge we’re tackling at Kudos, where we’re helping publishers and journals to embrace authors’ instinct to share but in a way that is visible to, beneficial to, and trackable by publishers.
Our service helps you:
Maximize readership – I’ll come back to that 23% statistic
We’re also focused on helping research reach new audiences
Strengthening relationships between authors and journals
And you to benefit more from authors’ efforts to share their work – as authors begin increasingly to share work in sites like ResearchGate, Kudos provides a way to ensure that that activity benefits rather than harms the journal.
How do we get authors to use the tools that we’ve developed for them? Step one is to make it easy!
Our workflow takes authors about 10-15 minutes – they add a plain language explanation of their work, and generate trackable links so that whatever they do to share – whether they tend to prefer email, or use social media, or conference talks and posters – we can make this trackable for them. And the final step in the process, therefore, is that we bring together a range of metrics to show them the effect of their efforts.
So what has worked really well for us is boiling down something potentially complex – promoting your work across lots of different channels – into a simple, measurable process.
Another way we’ve worked to “make it easy” is by integrating as much as possible into existing systems and services, to reduce duplication of effort for authors.
We partnered with ORCID very early on to enable authors to import their publications into Kudos.
A more recent example is our integration of Kudos into manuscript submission workflows - authors can add plain language explanations in Editorial Manager or Scholar One (and we’re launching others soon) – these are then passed on to Kudos for further dissemination after publication. In a pilot, 50% of authors completed the “Kudos” field so this has been a great way to get more authors promoting their work by making it part of an existing process at a point when they are really focused on making that publication a success.
We also focused right from the outset on making it really obvious to authors what effect their efforts are having.
We not only bring in common metrics such as Altmetric scores and Times Cited counts,
but also put that together with the metrics from their communications
– how many people clicked on the links that they shared or went on to read the publication
And then we map all of these together in graphs where “actions” to share are set against the changing metrics – here the orange line is downloads on the publisher website -
so they can really explicitly see how their actions are driving readership of their work.
Showing authors that an email, or a LinkedIn posting, can increase the level of readership of their work so directly and significantly,
is hugely motivating and encourages authors to make more time for outreach.
In that context, another thing we’re seeing that I think is relevant here is a move “beyond metrics”.
There’s been a lot of interest in exploring and understanding new metrics.
But institutions in particular have realised that improving performance needs to be a bigger priority than simply measuring it.
One bibliometrics expert uses this memorable expression in that context, and suggested it should become our new strapline at Kudos!
The point is that authors are certainly interested in metrics for their work, but metrics by themselves aren’t enough
– we also need to give them tools and guidance to help them improve their performance rather than just passively measure it.
And of course any evidence you can find that shows promotional tools working is helpful for motivating authors. A recent independent study showed that articles for which the Kudos tools had been used have 23% higher growth in downloads than articles for which our tools hadn’t been used. That’s ultimately showing the overall value of author-led promotional efforts and is a great incentive for authors to make a little time for outreach.
This is an obvious one but worth mentioning. Once you have facts and figures – either at that high level, or for specific individuals – things like case studies are great for helping authors get a feel for how other researchers in their subject area or at their career level are promoting their work, and what kinds of results they’re getting.
Both of my points so far - about “making it easy” and “clearly adding value” - are relevant to our work to tackle illegal sharing via sites like ResearchGate.
From the perspective of making it easy: the project builds on our integrations into the manuscript submission workflow, and enables us to create a “summary” PDF and send that to the author at the point when the article itself is published. The summary PDF contains a link to the full text on the publisher website. When we email it to them, we can include links to popular networks like ResearchGate and Academia.edu. So it will be easier for the authors to upload the summary PDF than to make the effort to find and share the full text PDF. In our survey of over 7500 researchers, 83% agreed that copyright should be respected, from which I interpret authors aren’t uploading copies of their full text to these sites with the deliberate intention of contravening copyright. They’re doing it because they feel under pressure to have a presence on those sites, and the only way they can do this is by uploading PDFs. So let’s give them an alternative PDF, that doesn’t contain the full text, and make it easier to upload that!
In terms of showing value, the shareable PDF approach also consolidates all the usage of the work on the publisher website. So right now, if authors create copies of their works in other sites, they create a rod for their own backs in terms of having to manually track and count up the readership of their work. Because these sites are “off grid” for publishers and institutions, there is no way for anyone other than the author to measure this usage. And increasingly, as publishers are making download counts publicly visible on article pages, authors are doing themselves a disservice if they are depressing that count by encouraging usage of their work to happen elsewhere. The shareable PDF option is therefore compelling for an author because they can basically carry on with the same workflow - but now all the usage of their work will happen on the publisher site, and the counts on the publisher site will therefore give a much better picture of the usage of their work, to readers, to institutions, to funders and indeed to the author themselves - they will no longer have to put manual effort into compiling the picture of their readership.
This is a live project for us and there are still seats available for new participants, so if illegal sharing via sites like ResearchGate and Academia.edu is a concern for your organization, and something you’d like to try and tackle urgently, and positively, and cost effectively (rather than by expensive and negative legal campaigns), then come and chat with me afterwards!
Of course one thing that will encourage more authors to promote their work is if they feel that you are supporting, matching, amplifying their efforts.
Providing 1-2-1 support for authors’ communications is not feasible for most publishers or societies.
At Kudos, we try to help with this by providing dashboards that enable you to support and interact with authors’ efforts – in a relatively efficient, scalable way,
We summarize which authors are actively promoting their work, how, when, where, and to what effect. [CLICK] You can use this to identify influencers, rising stars, high interest content, and so on – and let this intelligence shape your editorial and author care strategies. Our intelligence can help you improve the guidance you give to authors with practical suggestions for how they should focus their communications: this kind of “actionable intelligence” is a useful way to make your service to authors more competitive – providing meaningful, personalised guidance, and easy tools to put that into practice.
[CLICK] But as well as this kind of strategic support, Kudos also enables you to provide some real hands on support for your authors – for example, the Twitter widget on the bottom right provides you with a time-efficient way to have an interactive relationship with authors, and help amplify their communications efforts, with minimal effort on your part – Kudos takes all the effort of finding, filtering, monitoring, measuring their Tweets – you just need to hit “retweet” or “reply” or “like” – or all 3!
We’ve recently introduced a new email system, Customer.io, which enables us to send very tailored messages about what authors have done in the system so far, and what they could achieve if they take a very specific next step.
We’ve seen a 70% increase in authors explaining their work in Kudos, and a 200% increase in authors using Kudos to managing their sharing, as a result of this more personalised approach.
And finally we’re great believers in making it fun! We’ve worked with our publisher partners on a number of games, competitions, hashtag campaigns and so on.
Our latest game is a quiz to help researchers evaluate their understanding of how research impact is built and enhanced.
About 6,000 people have played it so far and it’s helped them learn more about the importance of promoting their work, and has been a channel by which people have then gone on to sign up for Kudos.
So in summary then! My 5 top tips for encouraging authors to promote their work:
Give them simple processes and tools so there is something quick and easy for them to do
Make sure you clearly demonstrate the value of what you are asking them to do so they can see it’s worthwhile
Don’t just leave them to get on with it – provide support and amplification of their efforts
The more personal you can make your outreach to them, the more likely they will be to take action
And if you can make it fun and educational as well, so much the better!
