Aligning HKU’s Library Sponsored Institutional
Repository (Knowledge Hub) with the University’s Mission &
Vision
Tony Ferguson & David PalmerThe University of Hong Kong

The HKU Scholars Hub/Institutional Repository
June 2009: 25,000+ items OA fulltext, including 17,012 thesis 4,125 journal
articles 2,165 conference
papers
Good, but we should be able to do a lot better! Scopus receives
3,000/yr from HKU
3
But how to populate it even more?
Lacked sufficient carrots or sticks NO Mandate, no stick Some question the OA
Advantage’s value as a carrot
And getting authors to submit is already difficult:
“What is the author’s manuscript?” “Why use an Author’s Addendum?”

Then, suddenly a Gift from Heaven !!

Research Councils UK Pronouncement on the importance of Knowledge Transfer/Exchange
“Knowledge transfer describes how knowledge and ideas move between the knowledge source to the potential users of that knowledge. “
The [UK] Research Councils encourages knowledge transfer by supporting schemes and activities to transfer good ideas, research results and skills between, for example, universities and other research organisations, business, the third sector, public sector and/or the wider community.” http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/innovation/ktportal/default.htm
6
That is the UK, but why is Knowledge Exchange so important in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong’s higher education sector continues to reflect its colonial past and so they are now emphasizing Knowledge Exchange/ Transfer.
Consequently, in Hong Kong our University Grants Council has HK$50million/yr to distribute to ENCOURAGE the 8 universities to do more in the way of Knowledge Exchange
7
And so the U of HK has included Knowledge Transfer in its 3 main goals
1)Teaching & Learning,
2)Research, and
3)Knowledge Exchange (KE)
8
HKU has decided it needs a Database of Visible Research
This Database should showcase the University’s contributions and include:
♦ Metrics from citation databases
♦ Listing of Research Output & Grants, etc.
♦ An expanded OA Strategy
That Database of Visible Research is HKU’s Scholar’s Hub
9
We believe this need to demonstrate HKU’s contributions to Knowledge Transfer provides us with the sticks and carrots we need
Universitieswith fewer citations gets fewer grants
10
But we need Metrics to demonstrate HKU’s Effectiveness: Harvesting metrics from Scopus
1,000 HKU researcher names
11
More Metrics: Harvesting from ISI’s ResearcherID.Com Database
1,000 HKU researcher names
12
More Metrics: We collect data from several local databases/silos
Name & Contact Details HKU Communications Directory
Picture & Biography Departmental web pages
Media Spokesmanship HKU Communications & Public Affairs Office
Metrics Scopus & RID
We harvest each of these from their own silos Visual Studio Excel XML Hub

Media Spokesmanship: We highlight the areas for which faculty members can be called upon to give advice, etc.
16
We highlight how each faculty member compares with others and make it easy to access their writings:

Searching on names in the Hub
Hierarchy of Authority & Synonymy Authorized

Multi-script Synonymy Roman,
Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. (UTF-8)

Finding ResearcherPages in the Hub
Search on RP details
Expand buttons to show lists of researchers with RP in each dept & faculty
20
Getting faculty buy in: User Authentication in the Hub
HKU Single Sign-on (SSO / CAS)
21
Staff mode; each researcher can login to change only his details
Each RP owner can, Edit Add Delete

22
Researcher Buy-in
Hub provides what researchers want: Increased readership Increased offers of collaboration Advancement ammunition Recognition
The researcher has control over his own details
Same details shown for every HKU researcher Pride of Place; jockeying for position

Progress
University Admin requests each researcher to do, show and measure Knowledge Transfer
Researchers discover the many benefits of the Hub, and respond: Early days but.., 50% more responses and
faster, to our batch emailings
Can a real OA/IR mandate be far behind?
26
Future Enhancements
Download statistics, cumulated by month, year, item, and researcher
Monthly emails to researchers on download statistics of his papers
RSS, email alerts & twitter on Hub additions
Hub ingestion of all HKU research output citations
Research Grant details
Postgraduate student supervision; links to their theses
HKU patents
