- 17. Criticisms of ResearchersUsing the Social Web “How do you have time to do actual work?” “Blogging is a waste of time” “P&T committees don’t care about your tweets” Formal publication is just one part of the research process, and citations are just one part of your impact story. @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher

- 19. Altmetrics Potential advantages: • Providea window of the impact of web-native scholarly products (datasets, software, blog posts, videos, etc.). • Show how scholarly products are read, discussed, saved, recommended, and cited • Indicate impacts on diverse audiences • Provide evidence of impact in days instead of years Adapted from Piwowar 2014

- 21. Altmetrics A Few Tools: •Altmetric.com | Bookmarklet • Scopus • ImpactStory Keep in Mind: • All data require context • Altmetrics are still relatively new but moving towards normalization @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 22. Telling Your ImpactStory • Your blog posts developed into dissertation chapters, which were published as articles / your first book (Ben Schmidt, “Sapping Attention”) • Someone’s tweet about your conference presentation led to a guest blog post, which led to a peer-reviewed journal article • Your discussion on Twitter gave a name to an idea, which developed into a start-up with grant funding (Priem = “altmetrics”)
- 23. Quick Tips • Buildingan audience and finding your voice can take time • Share early, and share often • Save yourself time: • Limit blogs to manageable lengths • Use TweetDeck or HootSuite • Auto-tweet, -blog, -post @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher

Editor's Notes
- #6 Citations accessed October 2014
- #8 Citations accessed October 2014
- #12 Who: Your peers, primarily (these are the people most likely to cite your end products) What: Where are your peers? Are scholars from specific disciplines more likely to use one tool over another? Geographic considerations; The academic networking site could depend on who you want to reach and where they are active How: Build your identity (personal website, choose an academic networking site, cross link with consistency). This is the foundation to your research platform
- #13 Website: This could be a WordPress site or your departmental profile page (ex. MSU Libraries’ Faculty Profiles, Graduate Student Profiles); Purpose is to let curious peers (or whomever) learn more about you as a scholar (and maybe about your personality); Networking site meant to be a snapshot, while a dedicated site, even a blog, will give people more insight and information ORCiDs and ResearcherIDs: Helps with metrics, both traditional and alternative (will come back to this); helps with name disambiguation; get credit for your work Network: choose based on who you want to reach (consider discipline, geography, where institutional peers are) Social Media tool: what are they using? What kind of “reach” do you want to have? Mostly academic? Public/general readership? Consider who to follow (also discipline specific) Link: Link all of your presences together (Cross channel consistency with all your profiles)

- #21 Formal publication is just one part of the research process, and citations are just one part of your impact story. Which brings us back to the research cycle
- #22 Altmetrics = attention metrics, but correlate with actual citations For traditional metrics workshops at MSU Libraries : D. Lee’s “Who’s Citing You?”
