OA Week 2011 UC Davis: Beyond the Impact Factor: Getting Your Research Noticed in the Algorithmic Era
This document discusses how researchers can get their work noticed in the age of search algorithms. It explains that search engines like Google rank results, and being highly ranked means more visibility for companies and researchers. It discusses how open access papers tend to be cited and read more since more people can find and access them. It also introduces Mendeley, a reference manager with over 1 million users that can help researchers build their reputation and visibility through metrics on how their work is read and shared.

- 3. So how doessearch work, anyways? • Results have to be ranked somehow • Google’s closely guarded secret sauce is how they rank results. • It means millions to companies to be in the top 3 links. • How much does it mean to a researcher?
- 4. It means alot to some
- 5. Discovery • Findingthings when you don’t know what to search for • Finding things without searching at all • Finding things related conceptually • This requires reading implicit preference information • collaborative filtering
- 6.
- 7. Open Access papersare cited & read more! • People who otherwise wouldn’t have seen an article can now read it & cite it! • Readership & citations start accumulating earlier. • 75% of readers of Pubmed Central papers are non-institutional • In Mendeley’s catalog, OA papers can have up to 10x the readership. http://www.istl.org/10-winter/article2.html
