- 9. So many people, so many tools… Things to consider: ▪ Who do you want to reach? ▪ What tools are they using? ▪ How do they know you’re someone they should listen to? Why Scholars Use Social Media: http://bit.ly/1xsnT2C @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 10. Step One: Create Your Professional Identity • Create a website / departmental profile • Sign up for an ORCiD and ResearcherID • Choose an Academic Network • Choose a Social Media tool • Link them all together @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 11. Step Two: Link Content • Posters • Slides • Videos • Images • Datasets • Software • Conference Papers • Journal articles, book chapters, books * * Publication agreement? CCBY? @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 12. Use Cases: Computer Engineer • ORCiD | ResearcherID • Institutional profile • ResearchGate • Twitter • Dryad | GitHub @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 13. Use Cases: Sociologist • ORCiD | ResearcherID • Personal Website • ResearchGate • Twitter • Figshare @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 14. Use Cases: Historian (Humanist) • ORCiD | ResearcherID • Blog with personal page • Academia.edu • Twitter and Facebook • SlideShare @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 15. Step Three: Engage Use your voice to build trust • Discuss your research • Share other's works • Share your work • Tweet at #conferences and #workshops @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 16. Can you share your work? ● In most cases, you can share pre-prints and post- prints. ● It’s rare that you can share publisher’s final version (unless it’s Open Access) ● Use SHERPA-RoMEO to check or journal’s author posting guidelines: www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/
- 17. Criticisms of Researchers Using the Social Web “How do you have time to do actual work?” “Blogging is a waste of time” “P&T committees don’t care about your tweets” Formal publication is just one part of the research process, and citations are just one part of your impact story. @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 18. Tracking Your Impact research question discussion | blogs, tweets, shares analysis | blogs, tweets, shares publication | DOIs dissemination | upload & link citations | views, downloads, etc. ? @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 19. Altmetrics Potential advantages: • Provide a window of the impact of web-native scholarly products (datasets, software, blog posts, videos, etc.). • Show how scholarly products are read, discussed, saved, recommended, and cited • Indicate impacts on diverse audiences • Provide evidence of impact in days instead of years Adapted from Piwowar 2014

Altmetric examples Category Metrics Examples Usage Downloads Views Book Holdings ILL & Document Delivery PLoS WorldCat Vimeo DSpace Captures Favorites Bookmarks Saves Readers Groups CiteULike Slideshare GitHub Mendeley YouTube Mentions Blog Posts News Stories Wikipedia Articles Comments Wikipedia Facebook SourceForge Social Media Tweets +1s Likes Shares Ratings Facebook Twitter Google+ Citations Citation Counts PubMed Scopus
- 21. Altmetrics A Few Tools: • Altmetric.com | Bookmarklet • Scopus • ImpactStory Keep in Mind: • All data require context • Altmetrics are still relatively new but moving towards normalization @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher
- 22. Telling Your Impact Story • Your blog posts developed into dissertation chapters, which were published as articles / your first book (Ben Schmidt, “Sapping Attention”) • Someone’s tweet about your conference presentation led to a guest blog post, which led to a peer-reviewed journal article • Your discussion on Twitter gave a name to an idea, which developed into a start-up with grant funding (Priem = “altmetrics”)
- 23. Quick Tips • Building an audience and finding your voice can take time • Share early, and share often • Save yourself time: • Limit blogs to manageable lengths • Use TweetDeck or HootSuite • Auto-tweet, -blog, -post @NickoalEichmann @MSU_Libraries #socialresearcher

- Who: Your peers, primarily (these are the people most likely to cite your end products) What: Where are your peers? Are scholars from specific disciplines more likely to use one tool over another? Geographic considerations; The academic networking site could depend on who you want to reach and where they are active How: Build your identity (personal website, choose an academic networking site, cross link with consistency). This is the foundation to your research platform
- Website: This could be a WordPress site or your departmental profile page (ex. MSU Libraries’ Faculty Profiles, Graduate Student Profiles); Purpose is to let curious peers (or whomever) learn more about you as a scholar (and maybe about your personality); Networking site meant to be a snapshot, while a dedicated site, even a blog, will give people more insight and information ORCiDs and ResearcherIDs: Helps with metrics, both traditional and alternative (will come back to this); helps with name disambiguation; get credit for your work Network: choose based on who you want to reach (consider discipline, geography, where institutional peers are) Social Media tool: what are they using? What kind of “reach” do you want to have? Mostly academic? Public/general readership? Consider who to follow (also discipline specific) Link: Link all of your presences together (Cross channel consistency with all your profiles)

- Formal publication is just one part of the research process, and citations are just one part of your impact story. Which brings us back to the research cycle
- Altmetrics = attention metrics, but correlate with actual citations For traditional metrics workshops at MSU Libraries : D. Lee’s “Who’s Citing You?”
