the benefits of participation in the social web of science
DESCRIPTION
With the flourishing environment of platforms for sharing data, establishing an online profile and engaging in scientific discourse through alternative modes of publishing and participation, there are numerous potential benefits. However, while many scientists invest significant amounts of time in sharing their activities and opinions with friends and family the majority do not make use of the new opportunities to participate in the developing social web of science, despite the potential impact and influence on future careers. We now have many new ways to contribute to science outside of the classical publishing model. These include the ability to annotate and curate data, to “publish” in new ways on blogs and micropublishing sites, and many of these activities can be as part of a growing crowdsourcing network. Our efforts in this area are already being indexed and exposed on the internet via our publications, presentations and data and increasingly we are being quantified. This presentation will provide an overview of the various types of networking and collaborative sites available to scientists and ways to expose their scientific activities online. Many of these can ultimately contribute to the developing metrics of a scientist as identified in the new world of alternative metrics. Participation offers a great opportunity to develop a scientific profile within the community and may ultimately be very beneficial, especially to scientists early in their career.TRANSCRIPT

Scientists measured by Impact

Helping build profiles…
• Can I help scientists have a greater impact?
• Other thank providing access to scientific data how can I help?
• Researchers focus on discovery but are measured by publications, funding and patents.
• Tenure is a common goal - IMPACT matters
• How will researchers achieve societal impact ?

Measuring Impact?

My Judgments…
• Researchers do not work hard enough on sharing their research, teachings or data
• Impact is more than “Published XX papers in YY journals with Impact Factors of ZZ”
• The Metrics of Impact are changing
• Collaboration is more necessary than ever
• Platforms for sharing activities can result in broader exposure

Ask a researcher these Qs…
• How much work generating and analyzing data?
• How much effort to represent your research – presentations, publications?
• How long does it take to write a publication?
• How much work/time for the peer review process?
• Does anyone now argue against Open Access?
• What about the future of Open Data?
![Page 20: The Benefits of Participation in the Social Web of Science](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/555e9745d8b42a0d738b5226/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Publications First…• Impact Factors DO still matter…
• I want the BEST peer review process, with the highest chance of publication, in the fastest time, with the greatest exposure, and the highest impact factor (Research Square helps)
• Increasingly important to consider for me…• Open Access/Open Data (funding aside!)• Article Level Metrics are VERY IMPORTANT• Post-publication annotation/enhancement• Supplementary Info Data handling

What I try to teach now…
• Scientists need to participate in building their own profile
• Generally visibility means discoverability• Establish a public profile• Get on the record• Collaborative Science• Demonstrate a skill set• You are already quantified• Contribute to the public peer review process

What will researchers change?
• There will be less denial of the power of the network – and especially the platforms
• Funding agencies are pushing hard to track impact – and Altmetrics are high on the list
• Supervisors will encourage student participation for a cascaded impact
• It won’t be just about the publications – data sharing and reuse, blogs, presentations
• Hopefully sharing RESEARCH DATA

• My hopes for publishing research:– Peer review will no longer be anonymous– Open Annotation and post-publication review
available from every publisher – Access to “raw data” for interrogration, download
and reuse is expected from SI data– Article Level Metrics will be the norm and Altmetrics
measures of impact have settled– “Micropublishing” of unpublished results increased– Publications are not “dead” and can be extended..
Publishing 10 years from now?
