Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate

No full textIn this recording, author Albert Watkins Key, aka Watt Key, is interviewed by Ruby Staten about his experiences spending time in the wetlands of the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta for his book, Among the Swamp People.

Key Issue - How to share and discuss your research successfully online
No full textWhen I first started working in the field of online dissemination of academic research, about
four years ago, I asked a lot of questions around why it is important to share your work
online. Over the years, my questions have now shifted away from ‘Is this an important thing
to do?’ (Yes, it is), to ‘How can we do this important activity well?’
As I work with researchers at the University of Huddersfield across all disciplines, one of
the first things I learnt was that the success of online dissemination and promotion requires
different tools, methods and approaches depending on the subject area covered and the
aims of the researcher. That said, there are certain central tenets that, if applied in a tailored
way to your online activities, will help you to expand and engage your networks more
successfully. I am going to cover five of these, and apply them broadly across a range of
online platforms that you might be considering using

Author Impact: Evaluations, Predictions, and Challenges
No full textAuthor impact evaluation and prediction play a key role in determining rewards, funding, and promotion. In this paper, we first introduce the background of the author impact evaluation and prediction. Then, we review the recent developments of the author impact evaluation, including data collection, data preprocessing, data analysis, feature selection, algorithm design, and algorithm evaluation. Third, we provide an in-depth literature review on the author impact predictive models and the common evaluation metrics. Finally, we look into the representative research issues, including author impact inflation, unified evaluation standards, academic success gene, identification of the origins of hot streaks, and higher-order academic networks analysis. This paper should help the researchers obtain a broader understanding of the author impact evaluation and prediction and provides future research directions

Connecting key competencies and social inquiry in primary social studies pedagogy: initial teacher education students' planning decisions and reflections.
No full textOver 2007-2009 we have worked with the national curriculum's key competencies to establish their place and purpose in the social sciences learning area. As a result, our initial teacher education (ITE) primary social studies programmes involve pedagogy that conceives key competencies as analogous to social inquiry thinking and skills processes. Our team was keen to research ways ITE students identify and embed key competencies in their social inquiry planning decisions. The research also sought student reflection of how engagement with key competencies might influence their future social studies teaching and learning. The article offers a storying of ways the curriculum element of key competencies has been developed, implemented, researched and reflected upon within ITE primary social studies curriculum
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
