Understanding and Securing Your Author Rights When You Publish - Special Session with Eric Halpern of Penn Press
No full textWhen you publish, you will be required to sign some sort of publishing agreement, but what does that agreement actually say? What rights are you giving away, and what rights do you retain? Can you post your article to your website? Can you use it in the classroom? Can you send it to colleagues?
This workshop will feature Eric Halpern, Director of Penn Press, who will discuss the main clauses of a book publishing contract, and Sarah Wipperman, Scholarly Communication & Digital Repository Librarian, who will discuss journal agreements, retaining your rights, and ways you can share your work
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Decoding and Negotiating Publisher Contracts: Know What You\u27re Signing Away When You Publish
No full textYou wrote an article, and it was accepted to a journal. The publisher sends you a Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA) or some other type of publishing agreement to sign, but what does that agreement actually say? What rights are you giving away, and what rights do you retain? Can you post your article to your website? Can you use it in the classroom? Can you send it to colleagues?
This workshop will: look at a variety of CTAs across different disciplines give you tools to understand general journal policies on when and how you can post articles show you ways that you can negotiate with publishers to retain more rights to your work discuss ways that you can share your work, such as using our full service deposit to Penn\u27s institutional repository, ScholarlyCommons, and posting to researcher profile sites like Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and SelectedWork
Creative Commons: A License to Share
No full textSarah Wipperman will be leading a discussion on Creative Commons (CC) licenses, how to assign them to your work, & how to find CC material –images, texts, & other original works—to use in your own teaching, writing, & scholarship
Building an IR Toolbox for Targeted Marketing, Education, Training, and Outreach
No full textInstitutional repositories (IRs) provide a plethora of services for researchers – article deposit, data management, project archival, publishing, conference management, and more – so much so that presenting the institutional repository as a general service can be a daunting and overwhelming task. By piecing out different uses of the repository, an IR manager can create a “toolbox” of services that can be used individually or combined in different ways for more targeted marketing, consultations, outreach, training, and education. Having an IR toolbox allows repository services to be easily integrated with other researcher services on campus and facilitates more meaningful interactions with researchers, liaison librarians, and other stakeholders.
In this presentation, I discuss how we have developed a toolbox for ScholarlyCommons, the University of Pennsylvania’s institutional repository, and some of the ways in which we are utilizing that toolbox within the Penn community. Presenting and promoting our institutional repository in this way has allowed for better education and training for liaison librarians, resulting in a greater number of projects coming into the repository through liaison relations, and has additionally enabled more constructive consultations, resulting in better metadata and quality assurance during new series setup and population. As Penn continues to develop its suite of researcher services, we are working to integrate repository services into various internal and external systems, which, in turn, increases the number of “tools” in our IR toolbox. This integration with other researcher services enables wider dissemination of ScholarlyCommons as a resource for the Penn community and promotes its use throughout the research process
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
