Sharing your scientific activities with the entire world using social networking tools
- 1. Sharing your scientific activities with the entire world using Social Networking Tools Antony Williams UNICAMP, Campinas, Brazil October 30th 2015 ORCID ID:0000-0002-2668-4821 All Slides will Be Publicly Available at www.slideshare.net/AntonyWilliams
- 2. My Hopes for Today • You will claim an ORCiD • You will invest some time (>1 hour per month) in maintaining your online profile • Convince you there are various ways to “publish” your work • You will publish and advertise your data, posters, presentations, papers etc.
- 3. Scientists measured by Impact
- 4. How to Measure Impact
- 5. You vs. Your Statistics • There are many influences on your career • Headhunters, collaborators and colleagues “review you” online • The “weight” of your CV is important • What you have done indicates interests, skills and experience • Your “statistics” open doors • It’s not just about publications…
- 6. 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
- 7. 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 to catch-up! • 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??
- 8. Open Researcher & Contributor ID
- 9. Here’s why they are useful…
- 10. Here’s why they are useful… • Increasingly requested: • Publications • Grant Applications • Data depositions
- 12. My primary CV is on my blog
- 13. My primary CV is on my blog http://www.chemconnector.com/antonywilliams_cv/
- 14. My primary CV is on my blog http://www.chemconnector.com/antonywilliams_cv/
- 15. My Online Profile Shared on.. • Places I am viewable: • Online CVs • LinkedIn • Google Scholar Citations for citations • Microsoft Academic Scholar for papers • ImpactStory • Plum Analytics • Wikipedia and ScientistsDB • I manage them ALL through About.Me
- 16. You should be LinkedIn • LinkedIn for “professionals” • Expose work history, skills, your professional interests, your memberships – your profile WILL be watched! • Who you are linked to says a lot about who you are. • Professional relationships rather than just friendships. • FaceBook is for friends and family
- 18. Parts of my Career Captured…
- 21. Manage Articles Here Too.
- 23. My Google Scholar Profile http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=O2L8nh4AAAAJ
- 24. “I don’t have any publications” • This is YOUR choice! Conference Abstracts.. • You produce reports, presentations and posters during your studies – share them if policy allows it!
- 25. Sharing your works online
- 26. Slideshare – Highly Accessed
- 28. Slideshare – NOT Just Slides
- 30. • Share various types of data including figures, documents, graphs, spreadsheets, videos, presentations etc. • DOI citations
- 31. Can you share your posters? If so, use these platforms to post them online and get feedback
- 33. ChemSpider • Deposit your chemical compounds and associated data and share. • Pre- or post publication! • Better way to share data than PDF Files!
- 34. ESI – Text Spectra
- 38. Highly Accessed
- 41. A good way to Create a CV also
- 43. Scientists are “Quantified” • We are quantified, stats are gathered and analyzed • Employers can find them, tenure will depend on them and these already happen without your participation • Scientists Impact Factors, H-index and many other variants.
- 45. Academia.edu
- 46. Academia.edu
- 47. ResearchGate
- 50. And into the AltMetrics World
- 51. AltMetrics via Plum Analytics
- 52. Usage, Citations, Social Media
- 54. Get Credit for Reviewing Papers
- 55. How to Manage ALL Profiles? https://about.me/ChemConnector
- 56. “Advertise” your publications • To explain, enhance and share your articles • Ability to add, connect, integrate other information associated with the article: • Blog posts, commentaries, external reviews • Presentations, videos, links to later publications • Follow up work, new data, additional data not in the supplementary information • Tools measure visits/views/sharing of article
- 57. Kudos Enhance the Article
- 58. Explain
- 59. Enrich
- 61. 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?
- 62. 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?
- 63. 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…
- 64. 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
