My Hopes for Today
• Encourage you in the “era of participation”• Provide an overview of tools available • Share some stories, statistics and strategies• Encourage you to “share for the sake of science”
OUTCOMES• You will claim an ORCiD• You take responsibility for your online profile• You will invest >1 hour per week
Scientists measured by Impact
How to Measure Impact
You vs. Your Statistics
• Clearly who you are should be more important than your “numbers”
• While breakthrough science should conquer all• Your stats open doors• Headhunters review you online• The “weight” of your CV is important• What can you contribute to science?
Alt-Metrics Manifesto (Papers)http://altmetrics.org/manifesto/
Summarizing my research…• 1982-85 My BSc wrote off three publications…• 1985-88 I left my PhD with NO publications…
• My PhD research outputs:• 8 research notebooks of daily activities• Thousands of paper spectra and plots• A >400 page PhD Thesis• 3 sets of “transparencies”• 5 computer programs
• Not the best CV in the world…who knew?
Your Research Outputs?
• Research datasets• Scientific software• Publications – peer-reviewed and many others• Posters and presentations at conferences• Electronic theses and dissertations• Performances in film and audio
• Lectures, online classes and teaching activities• What else???• The possibilities to share are endless
Is self-marketing of value???• How much work do you put into your own
scientific profile? (versus Facebook )• How much “data” do you actively share?• How much do you produce on your hard drive?
Reports? Lit reviews? Presentations?• Post-publication, how much work is put into
sharing with the community?• More visible does NOT mean better science
Your Profile as a Scientist
• If you are an active scientist – i.e. already published, active researcher, generator of data, early, mid- or late career there is lots to do!
• If you are a junior scientist the benefits of investing time now will provide a strong foundation for your future!
• So what do I do??

Scientists are “Quantified”
• We are quantified, stats are gathered and analyzed

information associated with the article:• Blog posts, commentaries, external reviews• Presentations, videos, links to later
publications• Follow up work, new data, additional data not

A publication as a point-in-time
• From a publication how do you cite forward?• to errata?• to your later publications?• to electronic notebook pages?• to blog posts about your work? • to other peoples related publications?• to reinterpreted data you don’t publish?

Is exposure important???
• Does a highly viewed paper mean better science? CLEARLY NO!
• If AltMetrics is one of the new measures clearly visibility and discoverability is important
• If there is a downside to investing in exposing your publications, what is it?
• YES…it can be called “gaming” or “savvy”
What about “Data Sharing”?
• Differently that publications, presentations, movies and “content” – data can be shared
• Real data – spreadsheets, plots, figures, chemical compounds, spectral data etc….
Spreadsheets/Figures
Declare Figure License Here!
My views of the future
• “Altmetrics” popularity is growing.
• ORCID is already important – get one• Scientists, and especially young scientists, can
“get in early” and build reputation• It takes effort driven by participation…
I recommend…• Register for an ORCID ID – then use it
• Develop your LinkedIn profile• Publish to Slideshare• Track Google Scholar Citations (for now)
• Choose: ResearchGate or Academia.edu• Set up an About.ME page to link everything• Participate in building your profile
And our article Now?
The downside of many profiles
