UCD Library and UCD Research Collaborations
• Research Repository UCD – Research Management System
• Sharing bibliometrics tools – InCites & SciVal
• Quality Review support for Schools/Institutes
• Digital Technologies workshops
• Altmetrics

Altmetrics
Altmetrics?
M. Ladisch & J. Greene, UCD Library
June 2015
• New way of measuring different, non-traditional forms of impact
• Helps researchers to get credit for a broad range of impact activities
• Complementary to traditional citation-based analysis
Benefits:
• More timely
• Societal impact
• Capturing non-traditional
outputs
Caveats:
• No standards (yet)
• Limited use of social media in
research (still)
• Open to gaming

Research Repository UCD and Altmetrics
• Queensland U. of Tech.: ‘Impact and Interest’
feature (OR2014)
• Uses free APIs to include Altmetric data (badges,
or ‘donuts’)
• Only top three mentions available when using free
API or without institutional subscription
• Low risk implementation: easy and free to add

RRU and Altmetrics
• Queensland U. of Tech.: ‘Impact and Interest’
feature (OR2014)
• Potential to draw attention to RRU, increase
uploads
• Built locally to include downloads, Scopus citations
and Altmetric.com’s (free) API
• Only top three mentions when using free API
• UCD Research saw potential at institutional level
• Mentions in gov’t policy papers = direct
evidence of societal impact
• Purchased one year subscription

RRU and Altmetrics
• Built locally in Nov. 2014 to include downloads,
Scopus citations and Altmetric.com’s (free) API
• Potential to draw attention to the repository,
increase uploads
• Only ‘trick’ is embedding the DOI dynamically
(other identifiers can be used)

RRU and Altmetrics
• Demonstrated to UCD Office of Research in
December 2014
• UCD Research saw potential at institutional level
• Mentions in gov’t policy papers = direct
evidence of societal impact
• Purchased one year subscription in early 2015

Altmetric for Institutions
Implementation
• UCD Research took up one year subscription
• UCD Research provided DOIs for tracking

June 2015

Altmetric for Institutions
Pilot phase
• UCD Library provides “training” for individual
researchers, research administrators
• Tab on Bibliometrics LibGuide
• Informal working group (UCD Research/UCD
Library) on use of altmetrics
• UCD Research working group Communication
Supports for Enhanced Dissemination

The main challenges facing universities and authors in moving to OA for journal articles are achieving compliance, managing costs, and realising the benefits of OA. This session will outline Jisc services that help, from submission of an article, through acceptance, to publication and use. It will show how these services build on existing infrastructure, where possible, to provide a solution that, while tailored to UK circumstances, is more widely applicable.

The session will present the key findings of a joint Loughborough University and Taylor & Francis project looking at postgraduate user experience in the digital library. Using the findings from ten research students’ diaries collected over an eight-month period, we will focus on the findings as they relate to the academic journal and article including: evaluating different publishers’ platforms and their UX; identifying the approaches and skills needed in identifying papers relevant for their research; and approaches to storing papers.

The presenters will talk about their journey from a traditional library catalogue (Voyager) to an open source system (Koha). They will focus on how they ensured that the new system is clear and accessible – a key requirement as an arts institution with a high number of dyslexic students. They will highlight the opportunities and challenges of an open source system and report on where they stand seven months after implementation, including feedback from students who have been using the new system.

The University of Hertfordshire (UH) implemented a new commercial Resource Discovery Service at the same time as it changed to the Koha Open Source Library Management System. In doing so it moved away from using Google Scholar, as its main platform, at a time when many universities are deciding to only use Google Scholar. Hear about the debate between commercial and non-commercial services and why UH made the decisions it did. After 18 months was it the right decision? What has been the impact on library services and library users?

It appears highly probable that immediate open access publishing will become the default mode for scholarly publishing – for the biosciences first, other sectors later. ‘Immediate’ open access means unfettered publication as soon as a scholarly work is ready, with no embargo period. The costs of making a scholarly artefact available can be reduced without sacrificing quality. This interactive session will sketch the argument for these claims and will present several value-added services that publishers could develop to thrive in an open access world.

In autumn 2013 the University of Derby Library launched its discovery service – Library Plus – exclusively for HE students. Two years later the Library launched a second discovery service – Discover – for FE and Access students. This presentation will describe the creation of Discover, the problems encountered during implementation, and the successes and lessons learnt from introducing a discovery tool in an FE institution. Discover presented the Library with new opportunities to look at the functionality of Library Plus, and how to promote it more effectively to HE students. It also highlights the challenges of maintaining two similar but altogether different systems for the needs of an increasingly diverse student body.

Today’s publishing environment is evolving. New University Presses (NUPs) and Academic-Led Presses (ALPs) play an increasing role in the shift in scholarly communication. In 2016 Jisc conducted a landscape study to provide a unique view of the motivations, models, policies and future direction of these new presses. This session will report on the findings of the research. It will also discuss the next steps Jisc are taking to provide support in this rapidly developing area, such as new methods of publishing and scholarly outputs and advice and best practice for existing and new presses.
