Iscico Module 4 - Metrics and OutreachMiquel Duran
This document discusses metrics and outreach for academic reputation and impact. It describes traditional scholarly metrics like publications, citations and journal impact factors. It also discusses newer alternative metrics from social media like Twitter followers, Facebook likes and blog comments/views. The document recommends acknowledging contributions to communication and dissemination through altmetrics. It provides examples of using social media like Twitter to publicize research and discusses how outreach is becoming more important and compelled by governments while facing limited funding. The document outlines various ways researchers can communicate their work through personal engagement, group efforts or institutional channels using different media.

From industry to academia: user-centred design driving library service innovation at Cambridge University Library. The library has adopted techniques from industry like user-centered design to better understand student and faculty needs. Research methods like diary studies, interviews and observations have provided insights into user behaviors. Personas, journey maps and an experience map were created. The Futurelib program rapidly prototypes new services, with Spacefinder - a tool finding study spaces on campus - being an example. It has been successful, with nearly 13,000 sessions in 8 months. Overall findings show user experiences are complex, small changes can have big impacts, and moving quickly helps deliver benefits to users.
This document provides guidance on using social media for scientists to communicate their research. It discusses that scientists have a duty to communicate their research and its implications to the public. It then outlines various traditional and social media options for communicating science, including blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. For each platform, it provides examples and tips for how scientists can create profiles and engage audiences. The document emphasizes that social media is fun, free, and allows researchers to find new audiences and opportunities. Overall, it encourages scientists to utilize social media to more broadly share their work.
This document discusses using communities of practice, online repositories, and social media to conduct collaborative research in technology enhanced learning (TEL). It describes the STELLAR Network of Excellence in TEL and its instruments for supporting researchers, including a doctoral community of practice. A survey of TEL doctoral students found they could benefit from reduced isolation and increased collaboration opportunities through such a community. The document also contrasts Science 1.0 and 2.0 approaches, noting how platforms like academic social networks, reference managers, and open archives can help researchers in the Science 2.0 model.
The Cloudmaker Project aims to foster creativity and collaboration between young people through an online design platform. It utilizes the popular Minecraft game combined with 3D printing and physical computing to allow students to jointly design virtual structures, print physical objects, and program interactions between the digital and physical worlds. The project brings together academics, artists, developers, and cultural institutions in an innovative collaboration between the Liverpool School of Art and Design and FACT arts center to explore new forms of digital engagement and creativity.
This document discusses a project called iCollaborate that aimed to design international collaboration using social and mobile media. As part of the project, students from universities in Berlin, Manchester, and Auckland became "Mobile Reporters" who used social media like Twitter, blogs, and YouTube to document their field research on uses of social and mobile media in their cities and share their findings across cultures. The goals of the project were to enable participation and collaboration, engage students in co-creating curriculum, and facilitate social connections between students.

Science blogging has evolved significantly over time. It began in the early 2000s as a way to fight pseudoscience but has since diversified. Today, science blogs fill important roles like debunking myths, providing expert commentary, and building community among scientists. Many science bloggers are taking on functions similar to journalists by conducting interviews, fact-checking, and providing in-depth analysis of underreported science stories. New models like OpenSciLogs aim to use crowd-funding to support collaborative, transparent science blogging projects. The future of science blogging likely involves more professionalization and partnerships between scientists and journalists to engage the public on important science topics.
Researchers are increasingly using social media for their work. It allows them to connect with other researchers worldwide, collaborate on projects, seek feedback, and promote their research to a broader audience. Some key benefits of social media include gaining new ideas through weak ties in open networks, earning social capital and visibility, and facilitating instant peer review. However, issues like trust, managing multiple platforms, and privacy need to be addressed for online social research to reach its full potential.

You may be stressed about revealing your cancer diagnosis to your child or children.
Children love stories and these often provide parents with a means of broaching tricky subjects and so the ‘The Secret Warrior’ book was especially written for CANSA TLC, by creative writer and social worker, Sally Ann Carter.

A proprietary approach developed by bringing together the best of learning theories from Psychology, design principles from the world of visualization, and pedagogical methods from over a decade of training experience, that enables you to: Learn better, faster!
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.

② Layout
How can I engage the reader into
the whole content?
“This can be uncomfortable for academics
and professional journalists, who spend
their careers sheltered by the use of the
third person (I remember struggling to
begin sentences with "I" when I started
blogging). But persevere, you will quickly
adapt and find it liberating. If you don't,
then what you are writing isn't a blog, it's
an article.” Damian Carrington
