PRESENTATION SUMMARY

publications• Individual Researcher IDs• Researcher’s Digital Profiles• Research Tools

• Additional Researcher Tools• Research• Dissemination

TYPICAL POST-PUBLISHING MINDSET

• Need to publish another article (Publish or Perish).• My peers will cite my work because it’s good, after all it’s

published, right?• The journal and the publisher will see that my article is seen by

the right people.• It’s a good journal, therefore my article should get distributed.

5

DISSEMINATING YOUR OWN RESEARCH

Improve the likelihood that YOUR publications have an IMPACT:• Conducting research, writing and publishing your article in a scholarly

journal is not the final step….You have to actively promote your research.

• The core of dissemination strategy is “self-archiving”.• By uploading your article to various databases or websites makes it easier

discoverable and more visible and therefore more likely to be cited.Source: Cacean & Harzing, n.d., p. 9

PREVIEW

A WORD ABOUT YOUR CV

• ALWAYS have an updated CV available• When someone asks for your CV, can you send them a copy

electronically on the spot?

• Update your University’s faculty profile page, regularly.

• Keep a current biography handy.

13

INDIVIDUAL RESEARCHER ID

14

A RESEARCHER’S ID

• A researcher’s ID number (specific to the researcher) comes from two separate sources:• ORCID – http://www.orcid.org• ResearcherID – http://www.researcherid.org• Both sources can be integrated – meaning that once an ORCID is

populated you can transfer your metadata to the ResearcherID profile.

15

A RESEARCHER’S ID –CONT-

• The general steps:1) Sign up for an account with ORCID2) Create your profile3) Build your publication lists4) Once your ORCID has been populated, sign up for an account with

ResearcherID5) Transfer/Integrate your ResearcherID account with your ORCID

account.6) Whenever you update your ORCID, check to make sure that the

ResearcherID reflects the same changed – this should happen automatically.

16

ORCID

• ORCID is an open, non-profit, community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. ORCID is unique in its ability to reach across disciplines, research sectors, and national boundaries and its cooperation with other identifier systems.

“The ability to connect research and researchers enhances the scientific discovery process and improves the efficiency of research funding and collaboration.”

RESEARCHERID

• ResearcherID provides a solution to the author ambiguity problem within the scholarly research community. Each member is assigned a unique identifier to enable researchers to manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification. In addition, your ResearcherID information integrates with the Web of Science and is ORCID compliant, allowing you to claim and showcase your publications from a single one account. Search the registry to find collaborators, review publication lists and explore how research is used around the world!

TYPICAL FEATURES

• Benefits:• Sharing of research• Publications• Non-published works• Conference proceedings• Presentation materials

• Connecting with colleagues• Meeting new colleagues with similar

research interests

27

• Cont.• Q&A• Job Postings• Internal metrics• Similar functions as in most social

media sites (i.e., like, follow, bookmark)

http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/openresearchexeter/2013/11/06/74/

ADVANTAGES

• To make your research and teaching activities known• To increase the chance of publications getting cited• To correct attribution, names and affiliations• To make sure that a[s] much as possible is counted in research

assessments• To increase the chance of new contacts for research

cooperation• To increase the chance of funding• To serve society better (Utrecht University Library, Researcher

Profiles)libguides.library.uu.nl/researchimpact/profiles 28

RECOMMENDATION

• Use multiple Sources• “Consider using ResearchGate in conjunction with other sites such as

Academia.edu, Mendeley, Google Scholar or figshare” (Open Research Exeter).

• You have to do something:• “In the past, authors were almost entirely dependent on their

publishers to make sure their work gets found, read and cited. But with almost 2 million new articles being published every year, it’s becoming ever more critical for authors to use their own networks and expertise to ensure their publications get noticed.” (cited in Beisel, 2014)

29

RESEARCH GATE

• Cautionary Notice• “Many of the publications that are available through ResearchGate are

actually uploaded illegally in terms of publisher open access policy. Putting a copy of your paper on ResearchGate will not mean that you are compliant with funder policy.  On the contrary, you may be in breach of publisher policy” (Open Research Exeter).
