Case Study: Analysis of Indexing Data to Support Editorial Strategy DevelopmentAccess Innovations, Inc.
Helen Atkins of PLoS describes how Access Innovations' Data Harmony indexing software was used to help PLoS editorial teams analyse data for the PLOS ONE website, http://www.plosone.org/.
Rebecca Evans SAGE Publishing
These days, research can be published in many different forms, from a growing number of options in journal publishing - including mega-journals, preprints and hybrid OA journals – to less traditional forms of publishing such as case studies and videos. This session is intended for anyone wanting an introductory level overview of the growing range of ways in which researchers can disseminate their work, so come along and find out a little more about the options available to your researchers, and learn from your colleagues at the same time.
Alex and Conor introduce SAH Journal (sahjournal.com) as an open access academic journal project involving the collaborative efforts of emerging and established scholars as well as academic librarians. Conor explains the benefits of collaborating with research librarians through publishing. Alex asserts that librarians (libraries) are perfectly positioned to enter into direct competition with established commercial journal publishers. He explains the mechanics of electronic publishing from conceptional planning to implementation via, in this instance, Open Journal Systems (OJS).
Future of Publishing - a session on innovations in academic journal publishin...PublishingSGM
With so many changes affecting scholarly publishing, how can new and experienced authors ensure their research is captured by quality journals in a highly discoverable and accessible way? The publishing team at SGM organised the Future of Publishing session at SGM’s 2014 conference in order to explore these questions.
To share some of the knowledge that was imparted and the debates that arose from the session, we have outlined the structure of the event below and have created a Storify board, including the Twitter activity which can be found here: storify.com/PublishingSGM/future-of-publishing-2014
The current Chair of SGM’s Publishing Committee, Colin Harwood, chaired the session and opened by introducing the panel. Aharon Oheren kicked off the presentations with an introduction to current practices in journal publishing. He described the role of the editor and what happens to your paper after it is submitted, suggested what authors should consider before submitting their paper and discussed different models of peer review, both old and new. He also advised authors on how to handle rejection and the best way to deal with negative reviews.
Paul Hoskisson then explored some of the new methods for communicating research, including social media, as well as new journal models including open access and mega journals. He also considered how altmetrics could be used to measure the impact of science over current methods. He finished by encouraging the audience to take opportunities to influence change in academic publishing.
Leighton Chipperfield then rounded off the presentations by providing a brief summary of innovation in publishing at SGM, including the recent addition of ORCID IDs (have you got yours?). He also explored how semantics are making material more dicoverable and how, as publishers, we’re moving away from traditional publishing models to truly managing knowledge.
The discussion was followed by a Q&A with the whole panel.

Data Visualisation - A Game of Decisions with Andy KirkSAGE Publishing
These are the slides from Andy Kirk's webinar 'Data Visualisation - A Game of Decisions'. In the webinar Andy argues that the essence of effective data visualisation design is good decision-making. It is about knowing your options and understanding how to make your choices. By deconstructing the decisions demonstrated through case study examples, Andy illustrates the many little elements that make up the design anatomy of any data visualisation work. The aim of this session is to try demystify the challenges of developing capabilities in this area. Watch the webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVkXbQOzKNs&feature=youtu.be

From Publication to the Public Expanding your research beyond academiaSAGE 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. She also presents some success stories from other researchers as well as one place to start for you and your colleagues – The Conversation US, an independent, non-profit media organization that publishes news analysis and commentary written by academics and edited by journalists aimed at the general public. (In other words, a team of professional editors who work with scholars like yourselves to apply their expertise to topical issues and to unlock their cutting edge research, all at no cost to you.)
Researching Researchers: Developing Evidence-Based Strategy for Improved Disc...SAGE Publishing
Leading libraries, publishers, and vendors regularly study the practices and needs of academics and students, in order to serve them better. This presentation addresses today’s search behaviors, emerging discovery forms, and access challenges, reviewing strategies for improving discovery and access that result from this research.
Search, Serendipity & the Researcher ExperienceSAGE Publishing
When considering researchers’ information-seeking needs, we often focus on search, such as optimizations for Google-type library search. But what about unplanned instances of discovery?
Through a study of undergraduate students and faculty, this presentation summarizes common researcher experiences with methods of serendipitous discovery within the scholarly community.
Libraries and Local Businesses: Best practices for supporting your entreprene...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.
