[Pols-l] Improving Research Dissemination

Thu Sep 26 14:28:57 CDT 2019

Colleagues, since we are going back to PRO soon and the updated system will allow you to link your ORCID record it seems like it's a good time to share this again.

Some suggestions for you. I'd say for sure use Google Scholar and Research Gate. If you want Linda can set up these accounts for you.

Improving Research Dissemination
Specific actions and suggestions

1. Making sure to always upload your conference papers to the conference web site (even if the conference has already occurred).

2. Creating your own account on SSRN or other file sharing service that allows others to find your papers in searches and download them.

3. Working with Open Access at KU to make your published work available: see http://www.lib.ku.edu/openaccess/

4. Letting me know whenever you publish anything so that we can share it on social media and with the KU communications office.

5. Creating your own webpage and/or blog to share your research and ideas.  Some of you have already been doing this and it's great.  I realize this can be a fair amount of work but it can be a reward in and of itself beyond just bringing more attention and citations.  Herron and Lynch and speak to this specifically.

ORCID, Register for an ORCiD ID: https://orcid.org/register

What it does

ORCiD is an open, non-profit, community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. ORCID is unique in its ability to reach across disciplines, research sectors, and national boundaries and its cooperation with other identifier systems.

To register:

>From ORCiD home page, go to Registration page, add name, create password, be sure to make "default settings" (middle of the page) set to public.

Accept the terms of ORCiD

Hit "register" button at bottom.

New page will appear, note your ORCiD number on left side, confirm papers listed as yours if needed. Import or add your own papers - you can come back to do this.

Once you register for other sites you may have them mapped with your ORCiD-mine has ResearcherID and Scopus also listed on left. ORCiD allows you to do this from its site.

Google Scholar Citation Account
If you have not already done so, please do the following.
*      Establish a Gmail (Google) account: https://mail.google.com<https://mail.google.com/>
Once you have opened the account and logged in, acquaint yourself with the various services that are available through Google, especially "Scholar" (scholar.google.com), where you can create your own page.  The advantage here is that you don't have to enter most of your publications.

http://scholar.google.com

What it does

Tracks web-searchable references to your published works and citations to them as well as calculates citation statistics, e.g., H-index (the number of articles H cited H times).

You must have a Gmail account:

To set up a Gmail account go to gmail.com and create an account.

Once logged into your Gmail account, proceed to http://scholar.google.com and notice the option for "My citations" or an activation option.  Click on that and follow directions.

Confirm papers that are yours (or are not yours)

Research Gate
https://www.researchgate.net
This is the easiest one to use because it collects all of your publications for you once you have an ORCID account

Academia.edu
*      Establish an Academia.edu account: http://www.academia.edu<http://www.academia.edu/>
Fill out some information about your academic profile, e.g., title, research interests, upload a headshot (optional).  It also has a news feed based on your interests.  The downside is that you have to enter your publications (it's not automatically populated)

http://www.academia.edu

What it does

"Academia.edu is a platform for academics to share research papers. The company's mission is to accelerate the world's research. Academics use Academia.edu to share their research, monitor deep analytics around the impact of their research, and track the research of academics they follow. 3,853,925 academics have signed up to Academia.edu, adding 1,633,496 papers and 818,149 research interests.

http://www.researcherid.com/

What it does (plays nicely with ORCID and some of the other sites listed here.)

[Owned by Thomson Reuters,] "ResearcherID provides a solution to the author ambiguity problem within the scholarly research community. Each member is assigned a unique identifier to enable researchers to manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification. In addition, your ResearcherID information integrates with the Web of Knowledge and is ORCID compliant, allowing you to claim and showcase your publications from a single one [sic] account." NB: you can also register within ORCID once you have established your ORCID account.

Go to ResearcherID main page and look for option to register then "Join Now"

Fill out basic information.

Note options to add alternative names under which you've published or are known by.

On results page note your ResearcherID number and notice papers retrieved, or select option for it to retrieve your papers.

Notice the "exchange data with ORCiD" (on left) and the "add publications" on right middle in orange.

Manage your profile as well with additional information.

Poke around the options to see what is interesting

*SCOPUS

http://www.scopus.com

What it does

[Owned by Elsevier,] "Scopus [claims to be] the world's largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature with smart tools that track, analyze and visualize research. Easy to use and comprehensive, Scopus is designed to quickly find the information researchers need. Tools to sort, refine and quickly identify results help you focus on the outcome of your work. You can spend less time mastering databases and more time on research."
NB: you can also register within ORCID once you have established your ORCID account.

You can go to the Scopus site, and attempt to register (or from your ORCiD account link "import work" button in the middle of your ORCID page, to select other databases like SCOPUS to find additional work of yours). SCOPUS has the poorest coverage in the humanities. It is important to know what has been missed.

If starting in ORCiD Once you choose (SCOPUS) from the "import work" option in ORCiD, chose "Authorize".

Select papers that are yours (if SCOPUS finds any) and choose next-following the remainder of directions.
