The digital transformation of research support - Northern Collaboration 2017 Conference

The document discusses the digital transformation of research support, focusing on how academic librarians and information specialists can adapt to new technologies and practices in the research lifecycle. It emphasizes the need for new roles, such as research technologists, to address the evolving needs of researchers in areas like data management, scholarly communications, and digital literacy. Key competencies and resources for this transformation are highlighted, as well as the importance of supporting researchers in navigating a complex digital landscape.

The digital transformation of research support
Research has changed forever Open Access Impact Agenda/REF Big Data Evolving manuscripts Altmetrics Open pre/post publication review ORCiD Transparent Journals Cloud reference management Mobile research apps Institutional publishing Overlay journals Data citation Scholarly communications Research data management Public engagement/Storytelling Working with the media Sci-Hub Predatory Publishing/Conferences Open Data
What matters to academics • The REF • Winning funding bids • Getting cited • Publishing papers • Getting promoted • Gaining esteem • Showing Impact • Retaining tenure • Getting enough sleep (and TEF)

Issues to consider: » Research environment » Support for digital copyright and IPR » Support for open and public scholarship » Influence of digital scholarship on research impact » Subject specialist requirements » Researcher development » Support for digital enterprise and innovation » Centres of digital excellence

Where today’s library and information professional may support the new research life cycle ● Preparation ● Discovery ● Analysis ● Writing ● Publication ● Outreach ● Assessment Framework based on 101 Innovations in Scholarly Communication https://figshare.com/articles/101_Innovations_in_Scholarly_Communication_the_Changing_Research_Workflow/1286826 Across entire workflow

Meeting the challenge •What skills are needed? •Where can these be obtained? •Recent discussions around academic library skill sets and future roles (see Further Resources) •Where should we be located? (Does it matter?)
The research technologist manifesto For decades skilled LIS professionals have provided researchers with excellent services around collection management, content curation and discovery, critical appraisal and reference management. More recently they have stepped into new areas of support and applied their wealth of knowledge around social media, altmetrics, scholarly communications and research data management. All of this requires a good working knowledge of research practices and technologies. Importantly it also requires knowledge of research office culture - something which can be difficult if based at arm’s length in a centralised department. Researchers increasingly need to understand a multitude of topics including digital copyright, impact, altmetrics, communications, social media, research data management and sharing, open access, infographics, video, animation and mobile apps. Yet all too often they have little time, support or encouragement to explore these topics within their own departments. With what limited time they do have they need to make informed judgements on the growing number of technologies and tools to employ. As we have seen with the development of learning technologists to guide teachers through the myriad of new technologies, is it not time that a new role was created - that of the research technologist or digital academic specialist? Given that the modern research LIS professional is adept of working across platforms, good at problem solving and the use of new technologies that they are well equipped to fill such a role. Many already have the skillsets for such a role that includes superb networking, horizon scanning, teaching and training skills as well as the ability to solve a diverse set of evolving problems. Whilst embedded into faculties and departments, all of this can then be supported by the central LIS specialist roles around journal, research data, open access, scholarly communications to ensure a better connection between researcher and the 21st Century research cycle.
The research technologist manifesto
Key competencies Image via https://www.canva.com/
Where LIS Professionals can help • Scholarly communications (infographics, social media, video creation) • Research data management (RDM plan, hosting, sharing) • Analysis (altmetrics, traditional metrics, capturing impact) • Forming an online identity (digital literacy, information management, social media) • Horizon scanning (working with champions and interested parties to explore new technologies and ideas)
Prescribing a Digital Technology • You need to understand why you are taking it • You need to understand the benefits • You need to understand the side-effects • You need to understand that the benefits may take time • You may need two courses • You may need a different intervention • Do not feel pressured to use it - as it won’t work

Issues around supporting research technologies • Duplication of platforms • Issues relating to third party software - support, data security • Hybrid platforms (Mendeley and Figshare both host data, Research Professional and Mendeley both promote funding sources) • Limited time for personal research and development • Technologies can come and go • Users have different needs/levels of technical competencies

    The research technologistmanifesto For decades skilled LIS professionals have provided researchers with excellent services around collection management, content curation and discovery, critical appraisal and reference management. More recently they have stepped into new areas of support and applied their wealth of knowledge around social media, altmetrics, scholarly communications and research data management. All of this requires a good working knowledge of research practices and technologies. Importantly it also requires knowledge of research office culture - something which can be difficult if based at arm’s length in a centralised department. Researchers increasingly need to understand a multitude of topics including digital copyright, impact, altmetrics, communications, social media, research data management and sharing, open access, infographics, video, animation and mobile apps. Yet all too often they have little time, support or encouragement to explore these topics within their own departments. With what limited time they do have they need to make informed judgements on the growing number of technologies and tools to employ. As we have seen with the development of learning technologists to guide teachers through the myriad of new technologies, is it not time that a new role was created - that of the research technologist or digital academic specialist? Given that the modern research LIS professional is adept of working across platforms, good at problem solving and the use of new technologies that they are well equipped to fill such a role. Many already have the skillsets for such a role that includes superb networking, horizon scanning, teaching and training skills as well as the ability to solve a diverse set of evolving problems. Whilst embedded into faculties and departments, all of this can then be supported by the central LIS specialist roles around journal, research data, open access, scholarly communications to ensure a better connection between researcher and the 21st Century research cycle.

    Where LIS Professionalscan help • Scholarly communications (infographics, social media, video creation) • Research data management (RDM plan, hosting, sharing) • Analysis (altmetrics, traditional metrics, capturing impact) • Forming an online identity (digital literacy, information management, social media) • Horizon scanning (working with champions and interested parties to explore new technologies and ideas)
  • 20.
    Prescribing a DigitalTechnology • You need to understand why you are taking it • You need to understand the benefits • You need to understand the side-effects • You need to understand that the benefits may take time • You may need two courses • You may need a different intervention • Do not feel pressured to use it - as it won’t work
