Seminar 3: How to get recognition for your Open Science work YEAR Annual Conference, 11 May 2015 Peter Kraker, Know-Center & Open Knowledge Joseph McArthur, Right to Research Coalition Austria Introduction – Peter Kraker Postdoc at Know-Center (Graz University of Technology) Alternative metrics for science (altmetrics) Visualizing scholarly communication on the web 2013/14 Panton Fellow of the Open Knowledge Foundation Advocating open data and open science Maintainer of the Open Source Visualization “Head Start” https://github.com/pkraker/ Headstart by R en e K ai se r Contact: pkraker@know-center.at @PeterKraker Introduction – Joseph McArthur 2014 - current: Assistant Director at the Right to Research Coalition 2010 – 2014: Pharmacology Degree at UCL 2012 – 2013: Student Researcher at Eli Lilly 2013 – current: co-founder of Open Access Button Contact: Joe@RightToResearch.org @mcarthur_joe One of the frequent arguments against open science is the current academic recognition system But if done right, openness benefits the community AND the individual Objectives – Understanding why open is better on all levels – Knowledge of where to put your stuff – A preliminary understanding of alternative metrics – Recognition for reuse and through collaboration Why this session? • Group discussion on the academic reputation system – 15 minutes • Why openness is good for the community AND the individual (Joe) – 15 minutes • Practical tools, examples and guidelines for getting recognition (Peter) – 10 minutes • Hands-on session – 20 minutes • Feedback and wrap-up – 10 minutes Contents Discussion: How are you affected by the academic recognition system? Get together in groups of three – Ideally group by discipline Potential points of discussion – What affects reputation in your research community? – What do your supervisors tell you? – Do you have to take the Impact Factor and other rankings into account? – How do you they feel about the recognition system as it is? Afterwards, we will go through the room gefördert durch das Kompetenzzentrenprogramm Arbeitsgruppe Open Science Practical tools, examples and guidelines for getting recognition Peter Kraker (Know-Center) YEAR Conference 2015 Seminar 3: How to get recognition for my Open Science work 2Before we start Parts of this talk build on the following talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoEGrCAjelo 3Main Take-Aways Go where your community is – your lab homepage is not enough Interact and collaborate with your community Be aware of metrics and communication around your work Don‘t just be a Me-former, be an informer 4Pre-Prints Depositing your work in a repository prior to submitting it to a conference or journal Benefits Good scholarly practice Gives others immediate open access to your work Makes your work visible to the world immediately Starts the discussion even before publication Caveats Need to check journal/publisher policies Finding an appropriate preprint archive 5Pre-Prints: Benefits C C -B Y k n it g ir l http://www.oastories.org/ 6Pre-Prints: Checking Policies http://sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/ 7Pre-Prints: Physics, Math & Computer Science http://arxiv.org 8Pre-prints: Biology http://www.biorxiv.org/ 9Pre-Prints: Social Sciences, Economy, & Humanities http://www.ssrn.com/ 10 There are more… http://is.gd/preprints 11 Self-archiving research outputs Publishing other kinds of research outputs (data, source code, images, posters, slides…) on the Web Benefits Enables others to build on top of your work Makes your output available to others in a citable format Your outputs receive a Digital Object Identifier Caveats Make sure that you have the legal right to publish these outputs Assign a permissive license (CC-BY or CC0) and document to maximise potential for reuse Choose a service known to your community 12 Self-archiving data http://service.re3data.org/search 13 Self-archiving research outputs http://figshare.com 14 Self-archiving research outputs http://zenodo.org 15 Self-archiving research outputs: Benefits 16 Posting to Social Media Announcing your work and interacting with your peers on social media Benefits Provides a forum for scholarly communication outside of journals and conferences Enables quick interaction with your peers Amplifies your message and gives you the possibility to break it down to the main messages Caveats Use the right hashtags/channels/lists Can be time-consuming 17 Posting to Social Media: Blogs 18 Posting to Social Media: Blogs 19 Posting to Social Media: Facebook 20 Posting to Social Media: Twitter 21 Posting to Social Media: Research Networks 22 Posting to Social Media: Mailing Lists 23 Posting to Social Media: Benefits 24 Altmetrics Altmetrics: alternative metrics based on data generated in online systems Benefits Assess publications quicker and on a broader scale Consider all outputs of research, not just papers Allow you to track the reception of your work Caveats As with any metrics, treat these numbers with caution You need a unique ID (DOI, arXiv-ID, Pubmed ID) to play 25 Altmetrics: Altmetric Bookmarklet http://www.altmetric.com/bookmarklet.php 26 Altmetrics: Altmetric Bookmarklet 27 Altmetrics: Altmetric Bookmarklet 28 Altmetrics: Caveats 29 Main Take-Aways Go where your community is – your lab homepage is not enough Interact and collaborate with your community Be aware of metrics and communication around your work Don‘t just be a Me-former, be an informer AND… Go where your community is – your lab homepage is not enough gefördert durch das Kompetenzzentrenprogramm Arbeitsgruppe Open Science Thank you for your attention! Peter Kraker pkraker@know-center.at http://twitter.com/PeterKraker http://science20.wordpress.com 32 Hands-on Session Get together in groups of three At least one person in each group should have brought a research output in digital form 2 possibilities: group by discipline or group by output type Assignment Find an appropriate platform to publish your research output(s). Make sure that it is being used by your community! Actively communicate your published research output to your community. Try finding platforms and channels/groups/hashtags that are followed by your community.

Feedback from the hands-on session • Open is better – for you AND the community • Where you put your stuff matters (your lab homepage is not good enough) • How you publish your stuff matters (licensing, documentation) • Research metrics matter – be aware of them Take-home messages Thank you for your attention!
