Trend in Inter-Institutional Collaboration

Gazni, A., & Didegah, F. (2011). Investigating different types of research collaboration and citation impact: A case study of Harvard University’s publications. Scientometrics, 87(2), 251–265.

Between 2000-2005

Examined 22 different fields of science

At least 60 % of publications co-authored.

88% of articles co-authored

80.5% articles Inter-institutional collaboration

Annual growth in publications 1996-2008

In 2011, less than 26% of papers are the product of one institution alone, and over a third have multiple nationalities sharing authorship

Research Workflow

“Today, already in the early phases of the ‘knowledge chain’, the scientific community is being integrated into the discussion and evaluation of first results. Communication software makes it possible to integrate locally disperse researchers and research groups. Ideas are being generated in chat rooms via virtual discourse. Scientific preprints are being reviewed publicly, thus narrowing the qualitative gap that formerly existed between a preprint and the final publication”

Research WorkflowMany platforms & tools try to support researcher workflows

• Researchers use social media to support the research lifecycle

• They may not use the

same tools • but social media most

definitely makes an impacton scholarly workflow

SC projects con’t

Half of ARL members responded to the survey

Of respondents, 93% stated they were involved in scholarly communication services

All but 3 had either a position or department devoted to SC

!ARL SPEC KIT 332:

ORGANIZATION OF SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION SERVICES, November 2012

However, when asked if their Position/department was the main SC office on campus, there was “a hesitation in staking a definitive leadership claim.”

Some said that other offices/departments on campus also contributed

Some said the library was the only one working on SC but were not recognized as THE leaders on campus

ARL Spec Kit 332 con’t

ALL respondents offered services to “advise and educate authors about copyright, retaining rights, etc.”

NONETHELESS

Altho the majority of copyright educators on academic campuses are librarians, only 25% actually have law degrees or have attended copyright training.

CALL TO ACTION!

Rather than waiting for it to come to us!

We need to ensure we are controlling the SC “ball”

THANKS!

(Shameless excuse to show my daughter’s AZ Sky Club team!)
