“ PLoS ONE debuted in the Journal Citation Report for the first time with a respectable impact factor of 4.351. This score puts the open access journal in the top 25th percentile for biology publications. But might this sudden success be more of a bane than a boon to PLoS ONE, blogger Philip Davis asks. It may turn out that accepting 70 percent of the manuscripts submitted to your journal gets a bit trickier when you're flooded with papers”.

The document summarizes a presentation about research impact given by Dr. Wee-Ming Boon from the NHMRC. It discusses that research impact comes in many forms beyond just publications, including commercial outcomes, community engagement, policy translation, and more. It notes that NHMRC grant applications are evaluated based on significance, innovation, team quality, and that the weighting of these criteria depends on the specific grant type. The presentation also addressed the challenges of measuring research impact, the importance of culture change towards broader concepts of impact, and the role that libraries and relationships with researchers can play in supporting research impact.

Simon Inger

This document summarizes the results of a large survey about how readers discover scholarly content. Some key findings include: - The survey received over 19,000 responses from readers globally across multiple subject areas. - It studied preferences for discovery resources, search engines, devices, app use, and publisher website features. - Physicists seem to make less use of article aggregations than those in other fields, possibly because of alternatives like ArXiv or a lack of critical physics content in aggregations. - Chemists use "Table of Contents" alerts as much as search to discover new articles, something other fields could learn from.

This document summarizes the results of a large survey on how readers discover scholarly journal content. The survey received over 19,000 respondents globally and examined which discovery resources readers prefer, their search engine and device preferences, and their usage of publisher websites and other channels. Key findings include that publisher websites are not dominant discovery channels, Google and Google Scholar are less important for subscribers than sometimes believed, and different subject areas prefer different discovery methods, such as humanities researchers relying more on library websites. The full report contains extensive data broken down by demographics and subject area.

This document summarizes the results of a large-scale survey of over 19,000 readers globally about how they discover and access scholarly content. The survey was supported by several academic publishers and aimed to provide data to publishers, libraries, and technology companies on the relative importance of different discovery channels. It finds that while publishers' websites and search engines are still dominant, libraries and library-linked discovery tools play an important role in many subject areas. The full report contains extensive breakdowns of the results by demographics, disciplines, and other categories.

Evaluating Web 2.0

Michelle McLean

This study surveyed 99 users of a public library's blogs to understand how the blogs were being used. It found that while 40 users had directly accessed at least one blog, many more users were accessing blog content indirectly through the library's homepage or RSS/email feeds. Over 60% of blog users read multiple blogs. The study also revealed the importance of the library homepage in disseminating blog content, with 63% of respondents having read blog feeds on the homepage, even if they did not directly access the blogs. This "hidden" usage of blogs suggests they are an effective way to regularly update and feed content to the library homepage.

Usage Factor: Final Report & Next Steps

John McDonald

1. The document discusses developing a Usage Factor (UF) metric to measure the usage and value of journals, similar to the Impact Factor. 2. An initial study found that both authors and librarians felt a UF would be helpful. However, there are challenges to address like data standards and accounting for print usage. 3. A second stage of testing real usage data from publishers against potential UF calculations is proposed, with a report on the findings. Developing a standardized UF metric could help demonstrate journal value.

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.

Focus on the user environment: increase your library's usability (Suzanne Lewis)

NSWHLF2007

The document discusses different approaches to library services - "lollipop librarianship", "broccoli librarianship", and evidence-based librarianship. "Lollipop librarianship" focuses solely on what patrons want without considering usefulness, while "broccoli librarianship" focuses on telling patrons what they need without considering ease of use. Evidence-based librarianship seeks to improve services by integrating user needs, practitioner experience, and research evidence. It discusses applying an evidence-based process to improve the usability of a library intranet site.

An online survey of over 1,800 public, school, and academic libraries about their ebook collections and usage was conducted in August-September 2010. Key findings included: - The majority of libraries offered general fiction and nonfiction titles, with academic libraries more likely to offer scholarly materials. - Most libraries expected ebook circulation to increase in the coming year, especially among public libraries. - Top barriers to ebook usage were lack of awareness about available titles, limited device access and support, and restricted formats. - Ebook usage was highest on personal devices rather than library computers, though some libraries loaned preloaded readers. - Spending on ebooks was low currently but expected to increase substantially in

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.

Broken access publishing

Simon Inger

This document discusses how publisher access policies can break library workflows by being incompatible with how libraries authenticate users and link to resources. It provides three case studies of libraries that face "broken access" due to publishers not supporting the libraries' preferred authentication methods like Shibboleth single sign-on or not allowing the use of proxies needed for remote access. The document advocates that libraries plan their access strategies considering how readers, library technology, and external discovery services integrate with publisher access policies and authentication options.

What Researchers Want, and How to Pay for It by Michael Jubb, Research Inform...

Charleston Conference

This document discusses research in three key areas: 1) Researchers as creators - It examines how and where researchers disseminate their work, finding journals are still dominant but interest is growing in data sharing. Disciplinary cultures strongly influence publication choices. 2) Researchers as users - Surveys show researchers primarily use journal articles and want access to datasets. Usage varies by discipline and institution. Access problems persist. 3) Costs and funding - The overall costs of the research system are high but libraries have faced budget cuts. However, usage of e-journals is up while costs per download are down, though differences remain between institutions. More research is needed on the relationships between spending, usage, and research outcomes.

This document summarizes trends in open access publishing between 2010-2017 based on an analysis of over 11,000 open access journals. It finds that most open access journals do not charge article processing charges, with the average charge being under $1000 USD. It also notes that the largest open access publishers are traditional commercial publishers and that a long tail of smaller publishers exists. Competition and market dysfunction are discussed as factors that could impact publishing costs going forward.

From Publication to the Public Expanding your research beyond academia

SAGE Publishing

What are the benefits – expected and unexpected — of translating your research for the general public? • How do you pitch your research story to the media? • When writing for the media or the public, how do you frame the topic to be explored so it is relevant outside of the research community? Hear Maria Balinska, Editor of The Conversation US, previously of BBC London, and a 2010 Nieman Fellow at Harvard (need we say more?) address these questions in this one-hour webinar.

SAGE Publishing

Many public libraries across the US have become invaluable resources to growing small businesses and hopeful entrepreneurs in local communities. In this one-hour webinar, Nicolette Warisse Sosulski, business librarian for the Portage (Mich.) District Library and recipient of the 2011 Gale Cengage Learning Award for Excellence in Business Librarianship, shares her expertise as an active supporter of local business growth. For example: • What standing resources and events does she provide at her library and how were they put together? • What has she and others at Portage Library done to market these resources to the community? • How does she manage expectations for those who walk in and look to the library for all of their answers? • What else has she learned from her experiences supporting small businesses? The presentation was followed by a lively Q&A.

Washington, D.C. and Social and Behavioral Science: The Picture for 2016

SAGE Publishing

What does 2016 hold for federally funded research into the social and behavioral sciences? Will we see new attempts to politically filter what constitutes valuable science? How will legislative calls for transparency, relevancy and open access affect you? Michael Todd, the editor of SAGE Publishing’s Social Science Space website, and Mark Vieth, senior vice president of the Washington lobbying firm CRD Associates, tackle these and other questions in a first of a series of webinars looking at federal support and use of social and behavioral science. Vieth, a longtime staffer in the House of Representatives, is the coordinator of a national Social and Behavioral Science coalition fighting to keep all science reviewed by scientists and funded properly. This conversation takes place shortly after the release of the White House budget proposal, always the starting point for appropriations decisions in the U.S. Congress. This webinar series is sponsored by Social Science Space and SAGE Publishing.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)

Javier Junquera

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security. This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing. The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots

Pablo Gómez Abajo

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots. To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters

Safe Software

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they? Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality. You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024

Hiroshi SHIBATA

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems. The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS. Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application. I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...

DanBrown980551

This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured: -Alex Thornton, LF Energy -Hallie Cramer, Google -Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI -Henry Richardson, WattTime In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms. This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups. Three primary specifications will be discussed: -Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access -Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure -Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs

Sease

This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints. That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source. The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal. The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata. This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr. The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Apps Break Data

Ivo Velitchkov

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
