Abstract This interim report is part of the JRC-IPTS commissioned study "Analysis of emerging reputation mechanisms for scholars". It aims to set the conceptual framework for the analysis of the data gathered in the subsequent empirical, case-study phases of the investigation. The first part of the report offers an exhaustive literature review for the theoretical framework of scholarly activities based on an updated model of Boyer's (1990) framework and its various reputation building aspects. The second part is a state-of-the-art appraisal of the novel social networking services used by scholars, to build, maintain and showcase their reputation. The framework introduced above serves as the frame of reference for the analysis of the data from 25 such services used by scholars.

  • Editorialising” Open Access Scientific Journals
    Critical study of the new ways of “editorialising” open access scientific journals Synthesised report of the study piloted by BSN 4 and BSN 7 Produced by Pierre-Carl Langlais (June 2016) Steering committee: Serge Bauin, Emmanuelle Corne, Jacques Lafait, Pierre Mounier Introduction As this report goes to press, France has just adopted an open access law. Article 30 of the “Law for a Digital Republic” provides that the authors of scientific texts whose work is at least 50% publicly funded may “make [it] freely available in an open format, through digital means” after a period of restricted access (known as an “embargo” period) lasting no longer than six months in the technical and medical sciences, and twelve months in the humanities and social sciences. In September 2016, this measure was definitively approved by the National Assembly and the Senate. It aims to remove one of the main restrictions limiting the dissemination of scientific publications on digital networks: the need to obtain the publisher‟s authorisation. The exclusivity clauses typically included in publishing contracts potentially prevent authors from re-disseminating their scientific contributions (for example, in an institutional repository) or else apply varying restrictions.1 These complex arrangements do not facilitate the implementation of a coherent open access policy, neither for authors (who must adopt a radically distinct republication strategy, depending on the publisher) nor for readers. The embedding of open access in the law creates a minimum harmonised framework capable of simplifying the conditions attached to accessing publicly funded research. The French law builds on a European, indeed global, movement.

  • Dissemination Strategy for the Journal of Animal Production
    Journal of Animal Production, 29 (1), pages 1-6, 2017 Dissemination Strategy for the Journal of Animal Production Dayanna Álvarez Rodríguez; Norbisley Fernández Ramírez; Ernesto Piñero de Laosa, Lireima Risco Vi- llamañán, Florentino Uña Izquierdo and José Alberto Bertot Valdés Camagüey University Publishing House, Scientific Information Management Office, Ignacio Agramonte Loynaz University of Camagüey, Cuba [email protected] ABSTRACT A dissemination strategy for the Journal of Animal Production was presented in order to improve international vis- ibility. The design included communications tools, and the advantages offered by digital publications and technology used at the University of Camagüey, Cuba. The proposal was based on promotion made in the social networks and scientific events; ranking in international databases and search engines; alliances and working agreements with simi- lar publications. The promotion of actions are directed to experts, researchers, teachers, professionals, universities, and agricultural science research centers. The strategy will be assessed every six months, considering four aspects: number of nodes, commentaries and replications, visits to the journal´s website, and the number of citations. Key words: visibility of scientific journals, e-journal, communications strategy INTRODUCTION The well-known public statement "publish or die" would be missing an element if we are participants of the idea submitted in the mid Twentieth Century, that the "repute" of journals is fundamental to increase scientific and technical production. The fact of the matter has proven that researchers are more reliable and believable if they submit their papers to a known journal in their field of study. Actually, it is not only submitting, but where to submit; so it would be appropriate to replace the well-known expression above for another that better describes the reality: "submit to reputable journals or die".

  • Assigning Creative Commons Licenses to Research Metadata: Issues and Cases
    Assigning Creative Commons Licenses to Research Metadata: Issues and Cases Marta POBLET a,1, Amir ARYANIb, Paolo MANGHIc, Kathryn UNSWORTHb, Jingbo WANGd , Brigitte HAUSSTEINe, Sunje DALLMEIER-TIESSENf, Claus-Peter KLASe, Pompeu CASANOVAS g,h and Victor RODRIGUEZ-DONCELi a RMIT University bAustralian National Data Service (ANDS) c ISTI, Italian Research Council d Australian National University eGESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences fCERN g IDT, Autonomous University of Barcelona hDeakin University iUniversidad Politécnica de Madrid Abstract. This paper discusses the problem of lack of clear licensing and transparency of usage terms and conditions for research metadata. Making research data connected, discoverable and reusable are the key enablers of the new data revolution in research. We discuss how the lack of transparency hinders discovery of research data and make it disconnected from the publication and other trusted research outcomes. In addition, we discuss the application of Creative Commons licenses for research metadata, and provide some examples of the applicability of this approach to internationally known data infrastructures. Keywords. Semantic Web, research metadata, licensing, discoverability, data infrastructure, Creative Commons, open data Introduction The emerging paradigm of open science relies on increased discovery, access, and sharing of trusted and open research data. New data infrastructures, policies, principles, and standards already provide the bases for data-driven research. For example, the FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship [23] describe the four principles—findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability—that should inform how research data are produced, curated, shared, and stored. The same principles are applicable to metadata records, since they describe datasets and related research information (e.g.

  • Information Needs Changing Over Time
    8 http://sajlis.journals.ac.za doi:10.7553/81-1-1540 Social media and research: an assessment of the coverage of South African universities in ResearchGate, Web of Science and the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities Omwoyo Bosire Onyancha1 [email protected] ORCID: orcid.org/0000-0002-9232-4939 Received: 10 April 2015 Accepted: 22 June 2015 The emergence of social media, including social networking technologies, has had a profound impact on almost all human activities. Social media’s application in research is the most recent occurrence, as the technologies have gained prominence among researchers who regard social media as an avenue for not only strengthening their own networks, but also sharing their research. This article focuses on one of the social networking services for researchers, namely ResearchGate (RG), to assess the research visibility and impact of universities in South Africa. It also examines the correlation between the universities’ ResearchGate-based metrics and Web of Science (WoS) citation statistics on the one hand, and the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities’ (WRWU) ranking on the other. Results reveal that researchers in the top-ranking South African universities have quickly moved to embrace social media; there is a high correlation between RG and WoS in terms of their coverage of papers produced by universities in South Africa; there is also a high correlation between RG and WoS in terms of impact; and ranking of universities in RG, WoS and WRWU is similarly highly correlated. Further discussions, conclusions and recommendations are provided in the paper. Keywords: South Africa, altmetrics, webometrics, citation analysis, social media, research, universities, research impact 1 Introduction and background information It is no longer debatable that social media has had a great impact in society.
