engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers
DESCRIPTION
As a result of the advent of internet technologies supporting participation on the internet via blogs, wikis and other social networking approaches, chemists now have an opportunity to contribute to the growing chemistry content on the web. As scientists an important skill to develop is the ability to succinctly report in a published format the details of scientific experimentation. The Royal Society of Chemistry provides a number of online systems to share chemistry data, the most well known of these being the ChemSpider database. In parallel the ChemSpider SyntheticPages (CSSP) platform is an online publishing platform for scientists, and especially students, to publish the details of chemical syntheses that they have performed. Using the rich capabilities of internet platforms, including the ability to display interactive spectral data and movies, CSSP is an ideal environment for students to publish their work, especially syntheses that might not support mainstream publication.TRANSCRIPT

How will the internet influence you?
• How many of you visit the internet/check your email less than a dozen times per day?
• Where do you go for fact-checking?• How many of you “Bookmark” anymore?• How many on Facebook? How many on Twitter?• How many of you are working on building a
scientific profile online?• How many of you online now???

As a Young Scientist…
• It takes a while to bring up a strong publication profile
• Writing, submitting, getting reviewed, getting published could be many months!
• But it’s easy to become an Online Scientist today!
• Contribution to science is a few keystrokes away – sharing, part of the likesonomy culture

So back to the title….
• “Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers”– The internet has changed what it means to “publish” – In terms of recognition of publishing online the
internet is now a publisher– Publishing is not just papers – commentaries, data,
reports, presentations, videos etc. All are valuable– But DOI’ed publications are still good for the CV!

published?• How many spectra of common materials could
be shared?• How many properties are measured and lost?• What stands in the way of sharing?
– Is it technology? – Permissions? “The Boss”, Licensing?

Is it working?• What reasons are there you would not publish?
– Time– Approval from supervisor– Need to keep the science quiet– Publishing on CSSP prevents future publishing?

Benefits of “Publishing“ Early..
• Publishing is changing and has many forms• Data, figures, reports, videos, and… • Online exposure develops reputation, benefits
the community, engages discussion and collaboration.
• RSC Platform open to chemistry data: chemicals, property data, spectral data, syntheses etc.
