  1. Queensland University of Technology Janet Baker, QUT Library

  2. 2013: Research Income = $86m, HDR completions=325, Researchers around 1,600 active

  3. Measuring up! Bringing everything we know together to make the researcher profile “sing”

  4. Platforms bringing research information together Examples of Commercial Platforms - CRIS Systems: Current Research Information Systems • Pure ( Elsevier) • Symplectic (Digital Science ) • Vivo • ConVeris ( Thomson Reuters) and there are “Find an Expert” information systems – commercial and home grown

  5. QUT Academic Profile

  6. Examples of web profiles with integrated citations, plus links to publications, research data, co-authorship trends, esteem measures, media releases, social media activity, interest beyond academia…

  7. More examples – but researcher can find themselves with many researcher profiles to maintain

  8. Main Challenges 1. Author ID -Disambiguation- Author has to claim publications, - Author request merging, and maintain over time- Multiple IDs over time2. Research outputs- THE REACH –increasing interdisciplinarity- Document type-creative works, books, reports, working papers, - Tracking affiliated institution- Tracking funding agency, grantmaker3. Impact - Citation metrics- Attention metrics, media releases, - Beyond Academia - importance of creating a narrative4. Time -increasing pressure for early signals of return on investment/ significance/ productivity/ performance

  9. Disambiguation

  10. 1. Disambiguation - sample of author ids now • Thomson Reuters (ResearcherID) • Elsevier (Scopus Author Identifier) • Google Scholar (My Citations) • ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor ID) • arXiv Author ID • eRA Commons Username: • National Library of Australia and Australian National Data Service • ISNI - ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier • QUT ePrints ID - Institutional unique identifier

  11. ORCID Journals, funders, institutions are moving to ORCID ( PLOS, Nature, Elsevier, Wellcome Trust, NIH) ORCID integrators - API can be embedded in your RIS and Institutional Repository workflow ORCID provides a central registry with metadata about researcher Which author identifier ?

  12. Google Scholar Citations Profile – author managed • Easy steps – create gmail account • Make public – visible to others • Create Alerts • Opt for automated updates • three metrics - h-index, i10-index and the total number of citations. • Author has to monitor

  13. 2. Research Outputs - Accuracy of publication counts • Depends on discipline • Google Scholar - most complete • Web of Science - ( 18,843 journals and conference papers) Science and Engineering • Scopus – (29,566 journals and conference papers)Social Sciences, Interdisciplinarity • Considerations- document type, language, patents? Devices? Procedures?

  14. 3. Impact measures to include Citation Metrics Institutional Repository - all publications - open access full text - link to research data repository – links to Data Sets and to registry of metadata descriptions – Web of Science and Scopus citations (API). Other Outputs -software, devices, patents, new processes, changed behaviours, policies, media Community impact such as legislation, regulation, change to national discourse Esteem measure such as Awards, Invitations to Commercial Partnerships, Funding, Collaborations, Chairs in Industry, to Review Panels Collaboration analysis for Trends and Comparison/Benchmarking Altmetrics Visualizations of trends in income and output

  15. 4. Time - influence on the profile • Timeframe for acceptance e.g. in high impact journals • Varying citations behaviours per discipline • Time for all citations to accumulate • Collation of media and “celebrity” portfolio • Collaborative networking grows organically • Community relationships – building social enterprise

  16. Customise views of the Profile Authority levels Public web - WS/OAI--‐PMH ( open access interoperability) Researcher - can edit, add biography, update supervisions, projects, interests, social media Administrator - Support Institutional workflows – tenure, promotion, census, assessments, budget tracking, safeguard intellectual property and commercial and licensing concerns.

  17. Best Practice for QUT authors now • Awareness of their Author Identifier • Deposit all publications in Institutional Repository and include accepted version full-text file • Create a Google Scholar Citations Profile • Make this public and link to • Link to University Academic Profile

  18. Thank you
