Why Share?



                   • PhD scooped comic




rickwest@byu.edu
Why Share?
             • To increase your personal publicity and
               impact
             • To contribute to a collective creativity that
               you can then draw on yourself
             • Because we are scholars & teachers ... that’s
               what we do!
             • Because the public has funded our research




rickwest@byu.edu
Scholar’s Repository
       • You have the right, typically, to share the “pre-pubs”
         or your research
       • You have the right, typically, to share your data
         excerpts online in a blog/website

                     Academics need to be intentional about how, when,
                     and what shows up when someone uses a search
                     engine.
                   • If Google cannot find a faculty scholar's work, then
                     it is essentially irrelevant — even nonexistent.
                   • Building a web presence is more than simply having
                     a website and can make the difference in an
                     academic's visibility.

Questions To Consider
       •     Do you mostly work with your references online or offline?

       •     Do you work on multiple computers or one?

       •     Do you need to share references with collaborators? (what
             platforms?

       •     Are your sources usually online or offline? (library stacks,
             databases, Google Scholar, websites)?

       •     Do you use or need advanced features?

       •     Do you use Word or something else (Open Office, Google Docs?)

       •     What is your budget?

       •     Will you need to retain your references after graduation?

Mendeley: Step 1



                                       Download
                                      the desktop
                                         client




rickwest@byu.edu
Organize into Collections


                   Tip: consider making collections around topics, and then
                          also collections for specific research projects




rickwest@byu.edu
Step 2

          Create your
          Online
          Account


  Tip: Fill out your profile to
     increase networking
   possibilities. Upload your
      articles to the “my
  publications” collection for
        an online vita.


rickwest@byu.edu
Step 3
          Install the Web Importer - http://www.mendeley.com/import/




                                               Tip: works in all major browsers,
                                                     including Chrome!
rickwest@byu.edu
Step 4
                              Find Articles
          1. Import when on the web
          2. Export if needed to Refworks/Zotero (Refworks
          XML format), then import
          3. Drag PDFs into the desktop program or
          4. Download PDFs to a “watched” folder
          5. Search among the 45 million+ citations contributed
          by Mendeley users.



rickwest@byu.edu
Tip: tag your articles here to save time later.



rickwest@byu.edu
Step 5
                            Organize your PDFs




                   Tip: Don’t organize by titles, as they’re too long. Choose
                                 authors or journals or years.




rickwest@byu.edu
Step 6: Start Annotating
                        Tip: If you can’t
                        highlight, OCR
                        the document in
                        Acrobat Pro and
                          then open in
                           Mendeley.

                           Use tagging
                            liberally to
                        organize citations
                        into piles that can
                        become sections in
                          your literature
                              review.



rickwest@byu.edu
Organizational Methods
Step 7
            Insert into papers (Word, Google, OpenOffice, etc.)


              Copy a citation in Mendeley, paste into word
            processor, or install the Mendeley plugin for Word
                               or Open Office.


                   Tip: Use the plug-in if you like stopping your work flow
                     to fix problems. I think copy and paste works better,
                            pretty much for all citation managers.




rickwest@byu.edu
Step 8: Create Groups
 Private =
  pdfs +
   notes
 Public =
 citations

   Tip: become
  contacts first,
    groupies
     second

Step 9: Sync




                   Tip: Don’t rely on synching as a backup mechanism.
                         Backup regularly under the help menu.

Step 10: iPad/iPhone




                   “You can’t edit any of the metadata for your papers, but
                   don’t worry, we will be releasing a full version of  
                   Mendeley for iPhone in the near future” - Mendeley’s

Scholarship
Evaluation
Sorry.




rickwest@byu.edu
Evaluation is necessary




rickwest@byu.edu
The Old(?) Paradigm


       • Over-reliance on quantity over quality
       • Over-reliance on one statistic (AR or IF)
       • What challenges does this raise?




rickwest@byu.edu
Be Wary!
The Problem with
                    Impact Factors

       • 75% of education journals are missing from ISI
       • Doesn’t consider books, presentations, and other
         scholarship
       • Considers journal impact as a substitute for article/
         scholar impact




rickwest@byu.edu
It feels a bit like this ...




rickwest@byu.edu
Challenges with
                   Acceptance Rates
       • Difficult to find updated information
       • Does the journal count resubmissions as new
         submissions?
       • What level of quality articles does the journal receive?
       • International influx
       • Desk rejects can be quite high, and contribute to the AR
       • Quality of peer reviewers
       • Reviewers often disagree

Possible Solution


       • Multi-faceted, wholistic evaluation of scholarship
         based on multiple pieces of evidence tied to core
         scholarship goals

A Smarter Way to Research: Using Emerging Technologies such as Mendeley, Google Scholar Profile, and Publish or Perish to Improve our Scholarship

  • 1. Technologies & Research Richard West • 2012
  • 2. A little like this ... rickwest@byu.edu
  • 3. Orientation This workshop will focus on: • Over-arching principles related to finding, sharing/disseminating, and evaluating scholarship • Comparison of citation management tools • Hands-on with Mendeley, Google Scholar, and Publish or Perish rickwest@byu.edu
  • 4. Proposed Outline • Discussion: Scholarship Finding • Workshop: EBSCO Thesaurus, Tic Tocs • Discussion: Scholarship Sharing • Workshop: Mendeley • Discussion: Scholarship Evaluation • Workshop: Google Scholar/P or P rickwest@byu.edu
  • 6. How is the literature search going?
  • 7. A Knowledge Management Shift Or Some rights reserved (Att) by Mykl Roventine Some rights reserved (Att/NP) by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Puzzles Mysteries? rickwest@byu.edu
  • 10. How did we search for Scholarship in a “puzzle” paradigm? rickwest@byu.edu
  • 17. Recommendation Systems rickwest@byu.edu
  • 19. Why Share? • PhD scooped comic rickwest@byu.edu
  • 20. Why Share? • PhD scooped comic rickwest@byu.edu
  • 21. Why Share? • To increase your personal publicity and impact • To contribute to a collective creativity that you can then draw on yourself • Because we are scholars & teachers ... that’s what we do! • Because the public has funded our research rickwest@byu.edu
  • 22. Scholar’s Repository • You have the right, typically, to share the “pre-pubs” or your research • You have the right, typically, to share your data excerpts online in a blog/website rickwest@byu.edu
  • 23. Your Online Reputation Academics need to be intentional about how, when, and what shows up when someone uses a search engine. • If Google cannot find a faculty scholar's work, then it is essentially irrelevant — even nonexistent. • Building a web presence is more than simply having a website and can make the difference in an academic's visibility. http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/intentional-web-presence-10-seo- strategies-every-academic-needs-know rickwest@byu.edu
  • 24. Key Principles • Make it easy for people to find you, cite you, and read you • Make it easy to keep updated! rickwest@byu.edu
  • 25. Abstracts & Keywords We can do better!
  • 26. We may have to be OK with “open”
  • 27. We may have to be OK with “open”
  • 29. First, a word about Citation Management Tools rickwest@byu.edu
  • 30. Questions To Consider • Do you mostly work with your references online or offline? • Do you work on multiple computers or one? • Do you need to share references with collaborators? (what platforms? • Are your sources usually online or offline? (library stacks, databases, Google Scholar, websites)? • Do you use or need advanced features? • Do you use Word or something else (Open Office, Google Docs?) • What is your budget? • Will you need to retain your references after graduation? rickwest@byu.edu
  • 31. Comparison Learning Curve Functionality Endnote/Mendeley bes rd t to t o ha Endnote wo easy rst Refworks/Mendeley Refworks Zotero Zotero Large Library Management Collaboration Mendeley bes best t to Endnote to w orst wo rst Refworks Zotero Mendeley Refworks Zotero Endnote rickwest@byu.edu

  • 35. + = rickwest@byu.edu
  • 36. + = rickwest@byu.edu
  • 37. + + = rickwest@byu.edu
  • 38. + + = rickwest@byu.edu
  • 39. + + + = rickwest@byu.edu
  • 40. + + + = rickwest@byu.edu
  • 41. + + + = rickwest@byu.edu
  • 42. Mendeley: Step 1 Download the desktop client rickwest@byu.edu
  • 43. Organize into Collections Tip: consider making collections around topics, and then also collections for specific research projects rickwest@byu.edu
  • 44. Step 2 Create your Online Account Tip: Fill out your profile to increase networking possibilities. Upload your articles to the “my publications” collection for an online vita. rickwest@byu.edu
  • 45. Step 3 Install the Web Importer - http://www.mendeley.com/import/ Tip: works in all major browsers, including Chrome! rickwest@byu.edu
  • 46. Step 4 Find Articles 1. Import when on the web 2. Export if needed to Refworks/Zotero (Refworks XML format), then import 3. Drag PDFs into the desktop program or 4. Download PDFs to a “watched” folder 5. Search among the 45 million+ citations contributed by Mendeley users. rickwest@byu.edu
  • 47. Tip: tag your articles here to save time later. rickwest@byu.edu
  • 48. Step 5 Organize your PDFs Tip: Don’t organize by titles, as they’re too long. Choose authors or journals or years. rickwest@byu.edu
  • 49. Step 6: Start Annotating Tip: If you can’t highlight, OCR the document in Acrobat Pro and then open in Mendeley. Use tagging liberally to organize citations into piles that can become sections in your literature review. rickwest@byu.edu
  • 51. Step 7 Insert into papers (Word, Google, OpenOffice, etc.) Copy a citation in Mendeley, paste into word processor, or install the Mendeley plugin for Word or Open Office. Tip: Use the plug-in if you like stopping your work flow to fix problems. I think copy and paste works better, pretty much for all citation managers. rickwest@byu.edu
  • 52. Step 8: Create Groups Private = pdfs + notes Public = citations Tip: become contacts first, groupies second rickwest@byu.edu
  • 53. Mendeley as a Journal rickwest@byu.edu
  • 55. Mendeley as an Online DIscussion Image from class this year rickwest@byu.edu
  • 56. Mendeley as a class “Back Channel” rickwest@byu.edu
  • 57. Step 9: Sync Tip: Don’t rely on synching as a backup mechanism. Backup regularly under the help menu. rickwest@byu.edu
  • 58. Step 10: iPad/iPhone “You can’t edit any of the metadata for your papers, but don’t worry, we will be releasing a full version of   Mendeley for iPhone in the near future” - Mendeley’s blog rickwest@byu.edu
  • 59. For More Info Zaugg, B. H., West, R. E., Tateishi, I., & Randall, D. L. (2011). Mendeley: Creating Communities of Scholarly Inquiry Through Research Collaboration. TechTrends, 55(1), 32-36. doi: 10.1007/ s11528-011-0467-y. rickwest@byu.edu
  • 63. The Old(?) Paradigm • Over-reliance on quantity over quality • Over-reliance on one statistic (AR or IF) • What challenges does this raise? rickwest@byu.edu
  • 65. The Problem with Impact Factors • 75% of education journals are missing from ISI • Doesn’t consider books, presentations, and other scholarship • Considers journal impact as a substitute for article/ scholar impact rickwest@byu.edu
  • 66. It feels a bit like this ... rickwest@byu.edu
  • 67.
  • 68. Challenges with Acceptance Rates • Difficult to find updated information • Does the journal count resubmissions as new submissions? • What level of quality articles does the journal receive? • International influx • Desk rejects can be quite high, and contribute to the AR • Quality of peer reviewers • Reviewers often disagree rickwest@byu.edu
  • 69. ETR&D (2008) Submit to editor (inform them it’s unpublished, and not Blind Review (3-6 Minor Resubmit Accept Reject Seek New Journal 7/11 32/7 0/3 119/5 Agreement In Press (Edit proofs; fix All - 29% grammar/APA errors; sign 2 = 39% none=32%
