• Open scholarhip practice in HEI: Open education resources (OER); MOOCs; open source software; open annotation/peer review…

• ‘Sharing is caring’: key to transparency and the changes in scientific practice, influenced by social media, networks, open tools and analytics.

Scholarly Social Media Networks

A survey published by Van Noorden, R. in Nature (aug. 2014) provided:

Data by 3500 respondents from 95 countries and found:

• Google Scholar (known by > 70 %)

• ResearchGate (RG) – 2nd best known scholarly SoMe platform w. 29 % of its

current user registrations in 2013

• Academia.edu and RG used by 20 % of the responsdents

Common denominators of the 5 fastest growing scholarly SoMe platforms:

• build by researchers for researchers (often domain specific within STEM or SSH)

• aim to increase scholarly reputation & discoverability of research by file-sharing and

dissimination of research output (articles, presentations, data sets, grey literature:

notes, drafts and negative results)

• built in tools to measure impact (attention via downloads, views, no. of followers etc.)

• generally interpret science in the broadest sense encouraging the spread of Open

Science and scholarship

Platforms sorted by year of emergence / worldwide reg.users

• (2007) ≈ 3 mio. @ Mendeley - Connecting users to empower research

• (2008) ≈ 24 mio. @ Academia.edu - Share research

• (2008) ≈ 4 mio. @ Research Gate - Scientific network

• (2011) ≈ < 1 mio. @ Figshare - Credit for all your research

(2012) ≈ 1,4 mio. @ OrcID - Connecting research & researchers

(integration w. Mendeley, Figshare, Scopus, WoS, CURIS (PURE)

• Similarity in brand images though differences in domain focus and primary goals

Nentwich & König (2014) list main featured and common functions build in the

software designs for scientific purposes:

1. User profile – the digital scholarly representation and portrait of the researcher

Follows same general practice of other known social media sites

2. Communication - messaging, chat, blogging, discussion fora / groups,

videoconferencing

3. Networking - list of contacts, person-search functions , invitations

4. Directing attention – displaying and customization of public profile, e.g. feeds,

notifications, like/share buttons, own metrics

5. Groups – collaboration, shared bibliographies, file uploads, alerts, event

mangement, collaborative online writing, selective membership options

6. Literature-related functions – integration of other databases, access to

publications, archives, access statistics, visualization of co-author networks

The structure of the these networks can be a valuable data source to explore

aspects of informal science communication outside the traditional publishing

spheres and institutional settings.

The scholarly self(ie): a typology of researcher profiles

• 5 main types of academic persona (Barbour & Marshall, 2012) could be observed on the social web as the:

1. Formal self: a rather static and simple self w. minimal interaction: typically CMS for institutional faculty websites (UCPH reseracher profile)?

2. Networked self: a public individual presentation in an academic frame focusing on sharing ideas and networking: typically scholarly SoMe profiles (Mendeley, RG, academia.edu)

3. Comprehensive self: an online persona who uses SoMe for personal as well as academic purposes with no strict separation: typically online presence at networking sites (LinkedIn, FB and Twitter)

4. Teaching self: engaged in instructional activities w. strong focus on students (not colleagues) and an equal partner to the digital natives.

5. Uncontainable self: online but opting out w. no SoMe engagement at all risking that others will create one for the person and be defamed

• The extent of SoMe engagement varies according to activity level and time invested (from: me-too presence – cyberentrepreneurship).

• In academia, the most frequent scenario is often a low degree of user participation (from: passive networking to more infrequent online activities).

Considerations & critique: rules of thumb

General considerations:

• In academia: many opposing opinions on the value of use of operating and

investing time in scholarly networks

• Lack of transparency, critical evaluation and monitoring of these commercial

businesses

• The interpretation of legal aspect to open access publications – the problem

of the researcher ‘home page’!

Specific critique:

• NOT a CRIS system or institutional repository w. proper exchange formats

and metadata (oai-pmh)

• Despite appealing domains like (.edu) most are commercial enterprises

earning money by selling analysis of user activities in their databases like

FB, Twitter etc. = key information (ex. Elsevier buying up Mendeley)

• The increasing demand from research funding of non-commercial CC

licensing of Open Access content is conflicting w. the business models of

these networks

UCPH Library – Digital scholarship projects

2 strategic projects closely related to today’s talk:

1. 3 Digital Library Labs (Hum, Samf, Sund/Science), internal projects at the Faculty Libraries w. funding from Ministry of Culture (Official opening in January 2016)

Main idea: intelligent research and study environment providing domain specific software combined with cutting-edge hardware and installations for events, teaching and formal training in digital tools for analysis, computation and presentation (more info: Library Lab blog, #DSSLucph)

2. Linked, Open & Social (collaborative research library project under DEFF, Denmark’s Electronic Research Library, running in 2015-2017)

Main idea: Information & knowledge sharing via SoMe and mobile platforms and consolidation of a national infrastructure in the library sector. 3 combined elements: (more info: DEFF project call)

1) SoMe for scholars provided by libraries (eg. Mendeley for Institutions)

2) Linked Open Data & Altmetrics to research communication

3) Linked Open Data to library metadata & authority files
