Digital life: how did it become possible and popular?
• The Internet

Digital LifeReputation Management
Reputation Management
•Understanding the reputation economy
•Understanding how Google works
•Understanding how to establish, monitor, and maintain your online reputation
“The reputation economy”
• Refers to the way in which the standing of a product/person/institution/business is shaped by the contributions of customers
• Review sites (RateMD, Angie’s List)
• News coverage
• Social media platforms
Why
?
Google is (and has been) King
Why Google?
• If you understand how it, you will understand how to:
• Positively increase your online presence
• Monitor your reputation
• Formulate a basic reputation restoration plan
• Understand when you need to seek professional help
How Google works
• Google is comprised of three distinct parts
• Googlebot• Indexer • Query processor
• Each part has its own specific and unique function.
How Google works
How Google works: PageRank
Hummingbird
• Google replaced its algorithm in August 2013
• Hummingbird is semantic• Conversational search technology• Uses Google’s Knowledge Graph
• Google is looking towards future• 60% of Americans access Internet on mobile
device• Spoken searches
Mobile-Friendly Update• April 21, 2015
• Mobile-friendliness• Tappable buttons
• Easy to navigate from a small screen
• Important information front & center
• Mobile speed
• Desktop speed
Why should you care about reputation management?

Social Media & Online Reputation matter

• OrthoMind
• Student Doctors Network
• MomMD
• *ORCID ID
Googling among employers is on the rise• 60 % of employers use social networking sites
to research job candidates
• 41 % of employers say they use social networking sites to research current employees
• 32 % use search engines to check up on current employees
• 26 % have found content online that has caused them to reprimand or fire an employee.
No one is caring about it for you.
Safeguarding your Digital Life:
Privacy & Security
Safeguarding your Digital Life:
privacy
•Privacy describes “the way in which we gather, store, use, share, and delete data… helps us to understand what is permissible and inappropriate with regards to our usage of data. ”
Safeguarding your Digital Life :
security
Information security relates to “the confidentiality, integrity and access to data. Information security is born from the technological and procedural controls that we place around our data to achieve these goals.”
Varying levels of privacy AND
security
Keep in mind…
• Free wifi isn’t free- you’re paying with your personal information
• Frequently review your privacy settings on all social media platforms
• Build strong passwords; change them regularly
• Consider a password manager
Altmetrics
the movementthe tools
the implications
Defining altmetrics• J. Priem (@jasonpriem), I like the term
#articlelevelmetrics, but it fails to imply *diversity* of measures. Lately, I'm liking #altmetrics., 4:28 AM - 29 Sep 10, Tweet
• “…the creation and study of new metrics based on the Social Web for analyzing, and informing scholarship.”• http://altmetrics.org/about/
*Metrics that supplement or complement traditional metrics
From metrics to altmetrics

New metrics for new products
Other influencesNSF “Publications” broadened to “Products of Research” (Jan 2013)• “citable and accessible including but not limited to publications, data sets, software, patents, and copyrights.“
Other influencesNIH Biosketch new format (Jan 2015)• other non-publication research products, including
audio or video products; patents; data and research materials; databases; educational aids or curricula; instruments or equipment; models; protocols; and software or netware…
And yet another influence…

Altmetric Score
Volume Sources Authors
The score for an article
rises as more people
mention it.
Each source category
contributes a different base
amount to the final score.
How often the author of
each mention talks about
scholarly articles influences
the contribution of the
mention.
The Altmetric score provides an indicator of the attention surrounding a research output.
It represents a weighted approximation of all the attention picked up for a research output and is calculated according to three facets:
Cochrane Library paper investigated use of probiotics to
treat eczema: There is not enough evidence to recommend
using probiotics for the treatment of eczema.
The paper has a relatively low score of attention but
received mentions across policy documents and
Wikipedia:
• Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health -
Allergy Care Pathways for Children: core
competency for health professionals treating
children with eczema

Altmetric Bookmarklet
• Free
• Reading a paper and want to find out its Altmetric details?
• Install the bookmarklet in your browser
• When viewing the paper, “Altmetric it”

Plum Analytics• PlumX is an institutional “impact dashboard”
that provides information on how research output is being utilized, interacted with, and talked about around the world
• Gathers metrics (altmetrics) about research from more than thirty sources including PLOS, PubMed and YouTube, and categorizes them
However…
•Standards aren’t fully defined• Definitions, calculations, etc.• NISO effort
•Are altmetrics important for discovery? For evaluation? Both?
Issues
Issues• Impact vs. attention•David C.’s Improbable Science… “Why you should ignore altmetrics and other bibliometric nightmares” http://www.dcscience.net/?p=6369
•Popularity• Popular topics get higher counts, quickly, but then fade. How does this reflect quality?
Issues
• Too much concern with metrics (“culture of measurement”; “yelpification”)
•Does social media help promote good science? Or not? (e.g. anti-vaccine)
Altmetrics: where to start?
Altmetrics for Researchers (Duke University Medical Library)
What are your products?
•Paper, chapter, book?•A clinical protocol?•Software code?•Conference poster?•Teaching material?•White paper?•Data set
Where are your products?
•A repository?•Website?•Profile?
Are they well-described (findable)?Are they accessible by others?Are they citable?Are they downloadable?Are there metrics to tell you?
What metrics match those products?
Product Metric
Clinical protocol Adoption
Software code Downloads or forks
Conference poster Views
Teaching materials Adoption/adaptation
White paper Views, Tweets
What systems or tools can provide those metrics?
• Journal’s website•Views, downloads, comparisons
•Repository•Views, downloads
•Altmetric.com; Impactstory
How will you explain these metrics?
•Contextualize • “This paper was in the top 10% of all papers
downloaded in 2015.”
•Describe “broader impact”• “This work was picked up by over 100
news sources.”
