BibApp 1.0: Campus Research Gateway and Expert Finder
No full textResearch institutions, particularly universities and colleges, often face challenges in understanding the range of research, publications, and collaborations occurring within their boundaries. They often struggle to keep up with the research and collaborations happening. Faculty and researchers are sometimes at a loss to find fruitful collaborations on campus. Libraries often lack the data to truly understand the publication patterns and trends among faculty. Repository managers spend much time trying to identify publications that can go into a repository. Faculty and departmental web pages are inconsistently complete and sometimes out of date; annual reporting processes are still sometimes paper-based or are not integrated into an institution-wide workflow. Grants and contracts offices generally can only provide a view of the departments that are heavily reliant on grants. There is seldom one place where an administrator, a faculty member, a funder, a potential graduate student, a subject librarian can go to better understand the research occurring on campus. Within this environment a number of tools are in development to help fill gaps in managing, displaying, searching, and mining the publication and citation data that are byproducts of the scholarly communication process. Cornell’s VIVO (http://vivo.cornell.edu/), Harvard’s Catalyst (http://catalyst.harvard.edu/), MIT’s Citeline (http://citeline.mit.edu/), and the BibApp, the subject of this paper, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Wisconsin at Madison (http://bibapp.org with a pilot installation at http://connections.ideals.illinois.edu/) are all examples of such tools
Enhancing Statistics: Google Analytics and Visualization APIs
Get PDFUsage statistics have been an important topic in the repository community for some time. From Minho's DSpace additions, through Interoperable Repository Statistics, to @mire's Solr based contribution do DSpace 1.6, there have been many approaches to providing statistics. One technique that has been used in a few places is to set up a Google Analytics account. These have several advantages - free, independent of repository (and it's architecture), proven scalability, excellent tools for visualizing the data. But it has historically had its problems too - doesn't understand the structure of the repository (for displaying totals or top views/downloads for an arbitrary grouping of the content), doesn't track downloads without additional work (or those directly linked from search engines), and the reports are locked behind an authentication wall and can't be opened up to general repository users. With the [April 2009] release of an API to retrieve data from Google Analytics, that has changed. Data that has been calculated in Google Analytics can be pulled back into the repository, so that it can be viewed within context, and by anyone that can access the repository (or not, depending on implementation). This presentation shows how Google Analytics can be integrated with the repository, techniques for capturing data that wouldn't normally be available with Analytics, and making the data comprehensible through visualizations. Whilst the implementation presented here was initially conceived using a DSpace repository, the techniques can be replicated in any repository software. Further, the visualization methods are independent of the analytics data themselves, so can be adapted for other sources of data
Portal Workflow Integration: Cardiff University I-WIRE Project
Get PDFThe I-WIRE project is designing and developing an enhanced deposit workflow that will be presented to Cardiff University's researchers via our Modern Working Environment portal. Presenting the workflow in this way gives us opportunities to integrate the deposit process and data with other research-related process and systems. We are also exploring DOI deposit, and a Web of Science import, within the same portal, all of which is aimed at making it easier for academics to deposit their publications
