 Okay. Should have started. Okay, now it's starting to record. So, welcome to strategic publishing. I hope you guys learn a lot. And yeah, we'll get started. So, before we officially start, I'd like to recognize and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we're meeting and pay respects to elders both past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. I'm in Sydney at the moment and I am on Gadigal land. So, strategic publishing is one of the parts in the research process, which is very important. When you are ready to publish and you have finished your manuscript or your research or any kind of work that you have been working on you really need to think about where you want to publish. Now, this presentation focuses on strategic publishing, but notice how I've done a little gradient in the research cycle there. Strategic publishing impacts your promotion, and it also impacts measuring your impact. And what you can see here is that we will be talking mostly about strategic publishing but I will also be touching on promoting your research and how strategic publishing can help. And I will be slightly touching on measuring your impact because it is all interlinked. I'd also like to note that there will be a session on metrics and measuring your impact right after this session the details will be at the end of this session. So if you'd like to go to that. You can. And I encourage you to it's going to be a fantastic session. Okay. So, this is what we're going to be talking about so publication, promote and measure, we're going to give you tools and advice to help you to decide where to publish your author identity management and different ways for assessing for success. And this is our advice to you. We will talk about each aspect through this presentation will be talking about aiming high making a research available findable and will also kind of touch on priority publishing, as well as orchids do is reaching different audiences and looking for different kinds of impact. So first off, aiming high. So where you publish matters. It matters because some journals are of higher quality wider readership, and it holds some weight in your research. Okay, and this would naturally lead to our next point. How do I judge what a high impact journal is. The way to do that is through journal metrics. Now, journal metrics are a measure of quality which is based on citations. They are proxy measure for a journal's importance in the field because presumably researchers will cite high quality research more frequently. So we assume that the more citations those journal gets those journals get the more important the journal is for that field. So the higher quality of research the greater the research, the readership sorry. Metrics will often come in form of a score which tells you on average how many citations and article published in that journal will attract. As you can see, there are a variety of metrics available, which are calculated using different data sources, and may or may not be normalized to take into the account the citation habits of the field. So one of the ways the citation habits of the field is different fields of research will have different citation habits. So, for example, in stem subjects particularly health and science. Traditional citations practices are usually done, unlike the arts where there might be different citation practices so that's what field normalized means. Let's look at that into account. More of the journal metrics will also be explained in our metric session coming up. So the key takeaways though that there are a variety of metrics and you should use more than one because it will tell a story. Another thing to add that it's actually about context and not the scores that are important. Okay. So here we have journals which are ranked by a metric called SJR, the skimago journal rank. It is field normalized and weighted so citations received from a prestigious journals are worth more. You can read off each of the scores to get an idea of an average prestige for each article, but it's more meaningful when you do the rankings according to discipline. Okay, so here are the rankings for nursing right here. As you can see over here. World Psychiatry is the top nursing journal, and it's going to SJR of 15.5. However, if you look at the rankings for community and home care for and the top journal is public health reviews. The SJR is only 1.6. Okay. So the scores for these journals, the ones at the bottom right here, and naturally going to be lower because you're looking at a sub discipline so a smaller, more specialist grouping of research. If you look at the scores alone so comparing 15.5 to 1.6. It's not going to tell much of a story you might think that these journals are lower impact. However, both are also q1 journals. Okay, which means they're the top 25% of their field and sub discipline respectively. Now I'm going to show you a demonstration on how to find this information. So just bear with me while I escape and show you how to do this. So a simple Google search for SJR. Okay. And we're going to go into you can search a journal on its own if you like. For example, the example that we use. I spelled that right. And it comes up and you can go and look into the journal metrics here. And as you can see my online shopping habits I apologize. But there's our q1 journals. You can also go back into the homepage and go into journal ranking. And here we have all the journals so this shows you all subject areas with your SJR and the top journals in the world at the moment. Now we can go through subject areas. Let's just, for example, go into arts and humanities. And our top journal is this the administrative science quarterly at 17.35. It's a q1 journal. But then we can also go into subcategories into the classics. Let's see what turns up. The comparison between the SJR score itself is miles apart, but it's still a q1 journal, which means if you were writing a paper or some kind of research in ancient philosophy and that's part of this field. This would be a great place to publish in because it is at the top of their field, despite it being despite it being, you know, a smaller SJR score. You can also have a look by region as well if you would like. At the end of the day, it really depends on what you want from your research. If you want to go into a more broader journal, you can, if you need to, if that's your aim for your research. Can you all see the slide again? Yes, okay, cool. Moving on. The next thing you should look at is your journal scope. If your paper doesn't fit into the journal scope, then it will not be accepted. It helps to think about audience as well, like I mentioned before, does your topic have a broad appeal that a broad range of readers will be interested in, meaning that you can consider titles that focus on multidisciplinary aspects of your research, or does it require a specialist knowledge to understand, meaning that you will need to target journals with a narrow scope. Okay, there are tools that are designed to help you discover journals that might have a suitable scope and can be good to bring to your attention to options that you might not necessarily have been aware of. A lot of publishers products can be useful for providing details like acceptance rates and time to publication, times of publication. So some tools are journal author name estimator, so Jane, Elsevier Journal Finder is one, Springer Journal Suggester is another one, and Manuscript Matcher by EndNote. These are all available via Google as well. And all you would have to do is just copy and paste the abstract of your paper into them, and it comes up with a list of suggestions. I chose to focus on Manuscript Matcher today only because, you know, we provide, the library provides all students and researchers and staff with EndNote, and it comes with our subscription to it. If you Google EndNote Manuscript Matcher, you'll find it very easy to use, and in fact, you should also have it in your Word if you have EndNote installed onto your computer. It will only work if you've been using EndNote for your citations though, okay? Otherwise, you can use the online version and copy and paste your abstracting as well. Okay, so the next step is making your research available, and in this step we'll be focusing on Open Access Publishing. Now, Open Access Publishing removes price barriers, subscriptions, licensing fees, and paper view fees. And all, like, and permission barriers, most copyright and licensing restrictions. It means that anyone can view your research through the internet and there's no paywall, so your article will reach a wider audience. Some of the drivers for Open Access Publishing is government grants and HMRC and ARC requirements. It is a requirement that you publish Open Access. So it's something you should consider. And also, there has been a push towards Open Access Publishing as well. And it's just a great way of publishing because it means that your research is reaching more people and making a bit more social impact. A bit of Open Access Glossary before we get started. There are some terms that we use during Open Access Publishing. One of them is Open Access Models, which I'll explain on the next slide. Another is article processing charges that you might have heard of. So it's an APC and it's usually a fee charged by the publisher to an author to make your work open access. So this means that the fee that you pay pays for making your research available, indexing all of that stuff and formatting and making sure that your work is available to everyone. That's what that fee usually covers. Another term that you might hear with an Open Access is embargo periods. It's a period of time after an article that has been published and can be made as open access. What that means is that sometimes when you publish, you can't make your article open access straight away. And this would depend on the publisher and the journal that you publish in embargo periods are usually six to 12 months. Okay, so open access models. Here we have three open access models. Our first open access model is brain open access. And it allows the author to keep the non-commercial rights to the article so you can be posted in an open internet archive such as your institutional repository. And there is an embargo period of six to 12 months. An example is the Lancet. So what that means is when you submit your article into a green open access. The non-commercial rights. So the article before it's been sent to your publisher and they format it to make it look like a part of their journal. That pre-published version can be put into an institutional archive, into the institutional repository. But you would have to wait six to 12 months for it to become open access via the institutional repository. And the embargo periods might depend, might be longer, might be a little bit shorter depending on the publisher again. Next we have your hybrid or hybrid gold open access. This is when one or more articles in a journal is open to anyone on the internet, even though the rest of the content is only available to people with paid subscriptions. And you need to pay an APC for this one as well. An example is nature. And then there's pure open access, so gold open access. Journals in which all articles and content are open access available to anyone on the internet without any subscription fees or sign in. You will need to pay an APC for this one as well. And an example would be plus one. Do you have any questions regarding our open access models yet? How much is an APC? It depends on the publisher actually. And that's something you would need to contact the publisher for to find out and you can sometimes find it on their websites as well. Does CDU have support for this? Yes, they do. I will touch on that in a bit, Alison. Okay. Okay. So, I'm going to show you how to find your open access journals and how to figure out what type of open accesses it is and what you need and the publication process for some of these open access journals. Now there are two websites which you can do this on, which is Doash. So the Director of Open Access Journals. And also Sherpa Romeo. These are two very great websites which you can use to find which journals you would like to publish on and find out how those journals function. Just going to go back in and, you know, Google Works is the best way to find Doash. And we're going to go into Sherpa Romeo as well by Google. Okay. And this is what they look like. Here's, this is a journal that I've selected. And it's just going to search. You can just click here and it'll take you to this. And there you go. Different journals would of course have different policies and you just need to look them up. So this journal here, Web Ecology. No publication fees. But it's an open access in 2000. You can see what their CC license is. And all their open access statements and terms and conditions. And how much copyright you retain as well. Okay. You can go into Sherpa Romeo directly from here. They often have the link or you can just search it there. I'll just click here so I don't have to type it up again. And here's all the publisher policy. And it tells you if there is an embargo period, if there's any fee involved, and the different versions you can submit. Some journals will have like published version A, published version B, published version C, and that would depend by the license. It's how much you're willing to give up on your license and of your copyright. So there's different policies for different journals, just a FYI. A great thing about Sherpa Romeo is if you go back in, you can even browse. So browse by publisher rather than just journal name. Let's just say you want to go into Wiley, but go into that one or that one, whatever you choose. Sorry, it's taking some time. There we go. And you can have a look at all the journals that Wiley publishes. Okay. Let's just choose this one. And you can have a look. So, like I said, there's a pathway C pathway B pathway A. And it tells you if you need a fee or not and how much of your copyright you can keep. Okay. Moving forward. So we as a university at CDU have free open access publishing. We have been negotiated by call, which is the Council of Australian University Libraries. And as a member we have negotiated free open access publishing, which is with little barriers like no embargo periods and article processing charges. And we have agreements with CSI republishing Cambridge University Press, bring a nature Oxford University Press and Wiley. And if you would like more information on this, there is a lead guide that we have created for you, feel free to scan it. And it will take you to this page where you'll explain this depth and give you details on who to contact about them. Okay. So for more details and more information on APCs, we do have help for CDU researchers, they are conditions to receiving that kind of help in terms of your article processing charge to find out more. Do you visit the RIS landing page for researchers. And they're called open access. And if you scan that it will take you straight to their page. And it'll tell you the process of applying for those APCs and how to get that funding. I'll just give you some time if you wanted to copy down the URL or go into the website. Okay, moving forward. One of the reasons we publish open access is that openly accessible research gives you a citation advantage. Okay, and in most cases anyway it would also give your research a boost in attention. Consider if groups of people outside of academia would be interested in your research such as professionals policymakers and the general general public. And this is to measure engagement is a tool called called out metric and this is the out metric dashboard for an open access article about alcohol use and burden. If your article is open access more people can have a look at it more people would be able to read it. And this would increase your attention score that you can see here. This article has been mentioned in 326 new stories and has been referenced on Wikipedia five times. This is good to know because it means you have an audience beyond academia who are interested in and engaging with your research. And a large part is because people can actually access and read the article because it is open access. Okay, now CDU does not have institutional access to our metrics yet, but in the meantime you can use a toolbar which I'll show you in a bit and add it to your bookmarks. And there's another QR code that you can scan or just go into that URL, or you can even just Google out metric free tools and it'll come up and the out metric tool, the free tool looks a bit like this. Okay, and every time you go into an article, that's all this will show up. If you click on the bookmark, this will, the metric session will go more into depth and how to do this as well. Our metrics is one way of measuring alternative metrics on social impact and all that stuff, but also plume x via scope as well does this. If you go into the metric section of an article and click plume x it'll give you all of this information as well. Okay, moving forward predatory publishing. So, what is predatory publishing. So in an online environment, there are predators, we all know this, and they have taken advantage of this digital publishing world that we have created. And it's generally motivated by profit. So what that means there might be some publishers out there that really don't follow standards they don't have a proper peer review process and they're just pretending to be a legitimate publisher. Okay. And most a lot of the times they can seem like legitimate publishers so that's why you need to be careful. Now some funding bodies are paying for publication costs associated with making articles open access to to make sure that you don't end up publishing in predatory journals. So when you do get some kind of help from the university or your research institution for APC funding. They will look into where you are publishing and that's kind of a way to stop you from publishing in a predatory journal so more commercial opportunity is more exploitation, unfortunately. We have an amazing website here called think check submit.org. And if you go into it there is a checklist that you can follow to make sure the journal you have chosen is not an open access is not a predatory journal, sorry. This checklist do do recommend using things like I've showed you like DoAge, Sherpa Romeo to figure out if the journal is legitimate as well. So I do have a look it's thinkchecksubmit.org. You can also Google this and it'll come up. When you have chosen your journals, it is best to ask yourself you know do your colleagues know the journal. Have you read articles. Is it index in the database that you use so on and so forth do you recognize the editorial board can you easily Google for this information. It would be a good idea to to do some detective work on the journal that you have chosen. And like I said DoAge and Sherpa Romeo is a great place to find out if a journal is not is predatory or not. There's a great article that you can read predatory journals what they are and how to avoid them. It's it it states out a list are much larger list than what I've given you on you know how to identify them and quite as the title suggests how to avoid them. There have been cases where people have published in predatory journals if you just do a Reddit, believe it or not a Reddit search about the experiences of researchers. In the journals it is really sad unfortunately so like it's always good to be well informed and get the help that you need to identify them. Okay. And the next thing is is you need to make your research findable. Okay. And what that means is to make sure that you have your indexing. You have chosen a journal that is index in the place that you want it to be in. So it's worth looking up which database will index your journal and you can do that by using a directory called Ulrichs which is available through the library website. I'll also show you how to do this. So you might ask yourself how can I get my article into PubMed. It's the other way around if you want to get your article into PubMed you need to publish in a journal which is indexed by PubMed. So every database has indexing rules which decide what content appears in the database and these rules relate to subject matter, scope and quality. Especially in medicine and the health sciences where most searching is done in the database. And I'm going to show you right now how to get into Ulrichs. We're going to go into library search, database, Ulrichs. There we go. Just let it sign in. Now I'm going to do it here as well. The example that we used. And it's right there. And you can see details about that journal including they even give you the link. And abstracting and indexing. You can also look at the book where this journal is being indexed. So super handy this tool. You can also look at other things like the subjects, the classification, but most of these you would have already done in your research through Dowage and Sherpa Romeo anyway. So that's how you can kind of use all these three tools together. You can find Ulrichs again, sure. So you just go back into the library website databases, you and Ulrichs periodical directory. And it'll take you. Some other tips, effective titles are short, straightforward and reflect reflect how people will search for your paper. Effective abstracts are clearly accurate use synonyms include multiple keywords and consider readers from non English speaking backgrounds as well. And author keywords use as many relevant author provided keywords as possible, considering the general and specialized vocabulary of your audience is likely to use. Make sure you includes variations of language and phrasing and consider commonly used acronyms with within editorial guidelines. So that's done with our publication section of our presentation. Do we have any questions. All good. Okay, so moving on. We're going to going to promote. And this is the outreach part of the workflow. And in addition to promoting your research, this is about how making sure that you as a researcher are findable. So not only does your work need to be findable, you need to be findable as well. Okay, now you should if you don't already have one you should get yourself an orchid ID, and an orchid ID are permanent identifies for researchers. And the key benefit of an orchid ID is to eliminate author disambiguation, and it links to scopers web of science and other databases. And orchid allows you to identify all your publications and get proper attribution it's like an online CB, you can add it to email signature conference presentations grant applications. And you being control of your online presence and use it to engage with your discipline online, not just offline. So, Alison was that how do you find your orchid. I mean, yes. Okay, so you actually have to sign up for an orchid. And I'll show you in a bit. So this is what an orchid profile looks like. Okay, more or less, that is a unique identifier these digits right here. It's something that is just for you. And on an orchid profile, you can put your work, you can put all your publications. Okay, you've been employed, and all the grants that you have received so on and so forth, and I will show you right now. And I'm going to actually show you an orchid profile my one, even though it doesn't really have much on it because I have not published anything but this is what it will look like. You can sign in and register through here. When you do register register, you will register with your CDU email, of course, but then you can go into your settings and then add in another email so your personal email. And you do that because just in case you end up changing institutions and you have, you no longer have access to your CDU email. Okay. And I've signed in. And this is my orchid profile. I don't have any publications like I said I haven't published anything. But you can put your works here all your membership to your different, whatever it could be could be like a research society if you wanted to put that in all your funding information. So it's like a really good online CV. Okay, and notice how I've got my personal email there as well. And this is what you will look like all you simply do is just sign up to your orchid ID. And when you do publish. Oh, when you're, when you do publish your publisher will most likely ask for your orchid ID as well. So, one of the reasons we do have an orchid ID like I've mentioned before is to make sure that you are not confused with other people. And also you don't end up having multiple profiles for your research. And notice here in this example now, I can't show you a live example of this anymore because the profiles have been merged and fixed, but he is an example that we found a researcher by the name of Stephen Garnett. He's got three profiles. And what can happen is if, if, if these profiles aren't put together and because there is a lack of orchid ID is that when we come to measuring your impact through Syval, or even scope is here is that your metrics will be inaccurate, could be inaccurate. And this is a less severe example of author disambigurity. Sometimes it can happen with someone from a completely different university and a completely different person as well. Okay, and we don't want that to happen to make sure that your metrics are all mixed up and something's been published under someone else's name by pure accident. Those things can be fixed. So if it has happened to you, it can be, it can be fixed. So, so don't worry about it too much, but to make sure that the process is more steeped. Streamlined, you would use an orchid ID to make sure that it doesn't happen very often. Okay. Some other research profiles is Google Scholar, your CDU faculty and your HDR profiles if you have any. You can also get academia.edu and research gate as well if, if you prefer. Okay, and these are all things that you just sign up for by Google just go into their websites and click sign up. DOI, Digital Object Identifiers. These are very important because they will make sure that everything is linked and it will make sense in a bit when I show you at the end why you would need a DOI for your work. Most of our work is online. A DOI is a unique identifier, which provides a persistent link to identify your publication. So it's consistent and that is the keyword. Okay. It's because URLs can be broken. And that's why DOIs are minted. And a DOI doesn't get lost. Okay. Your audience can always access your work even when it's moved to another site as well. Okay, so maybe if not for journals, if you have a DOI for, let's just say you're an architecture research and you have made this amazing plan and you've minted a DOI with it. If you wanted to move it to another website, it won't, it won't get lost in the internet highways. Okay, because you have that DOI, anyone can find it even if another website goes missing or another URL is created. Okay. And like I mentioned, it's permanent. The impact of your work can also be measured through any kind of altmetric. A DOI, if your DOI is there, it can measure, altmetric can measure it. And you can get a DOI from your institutional repository. CDU does mint DOIs and I will tell you how to do that in a moment. So here's an example of a DOI. That's what it looks like. Sometimes it only has the numbers at the end, like after the forward slash. So what will happen is sometimes, even if it just has the numbers in the end, if you copy and paste the numbers and put it into a search bar in Google or Firefox or whatever browser you're using, this article will come up no matter what. Okay. If you want more information on DOIs, we do have, we have created a lib guide for that as well. It goes more into depth about what a DOI is, why do you need it, who can get it and where you can get it as well. Okay. So I'll just give you some time if you wanted to use the QR code or copy and paste the lib guide. The next thing is in your promoting era of strategic publishing is reaching different audiences. As a researcher, you want to make sure that your researcher is reaching different audiences that different people are reading it and, you know, it's making an impact. So this is a spring onion. I thought it was a leak, but oh well. To be a successful academic, you need to be able to pitch to different audiences and, you know, what are the broader implications of society, policy, commercial and educational. That comes that come from your research. So you need to be able to write for different audiences. Okay. So that's your research. And those are all the different ways. You can talk about your research, whether it be in a conference, if it's, you know, if you're in the media, if you're in an academic journal and a professional networks, you would talk and write about your research in different ways. Okay. So here is another article medical student education in the times of COVID-19. A lot of COVID-19 articles are grateful out metrics because people do mention them and it's been relevant in the past two years. And you can see in which news articles, it's been mentioned in. As long as a DOI is mentioned, this will be met. This it will go towards your out metric school over here. Okay. And Twitter as well. You can promote your research via Twitter and be like, Hey, look at this amazing, you know, research that I've done just make sure you attach your DOI to it and people can retweet it. And, you know, get the conversation started. So that is a way to make sure that is a way to make sure that your out metric school goes higher as well. And by publishing strategically in places, this would also increase it as well. Lost my mouse there for a moment. And that's the end of our outreach section. Do we have any questions? So moving on is to our measure of it. I'm not going to go too in depth with this, as I mentioned before, only because we do have another session on measuring your research outcome. But we will also talk about it briefly a little bit. So, let's have a look at this. So here is an article that I found. The first one is a citation based measure which is evidence for your research has academic impact. These are easily tracked through citation numbers and percentiles which give you an impression of context and magnitude of achievement right here on this side. Okay, citation metrics takes time to mature once you publish. You won't be seeing citations until a long time after. Okay, it does take some times, unless it's something absolutely, absolutely mind blowing. It's going to take some time. Okay. And the second one is engagement is your measure of success. So out metric right here. And it often leads to societal impact of your research. And, like I said, we can measure this throughout metric where they use a DOI right here. Okay. For example, you can see that this article has been mentioned in three policy documents. Okay. 24 news outlets. And it's even being used in Wikipedia. These measures are immediate, but they often require some detective work to examine the context and then prepare a narrative about the kind of impact it has. Okay, so if you are applying for any kind of grant or promotion or even trying to pitch to industry, you have to examine the context and write the story for your research. For example, it doesn't really seem much if you say you've been cited in Wikipedia, but you can go in and say that your research contributes to a societal understanding of this phenomenon. Okay, your research is being explained to the masses to people that aren't in academia that don't understand. That are whether it be like scientific jargon or any kind of, you know, social science study. So by having your work cited in Wikipedia, it's a good thing because it means that normal people can understand it. Okay. But the common thread to linking the ability to track all these achievements are DOI's and orchids. Okay. Right here. When you get to the stage you can contact a librarian for assistance, but an important thing to point out is what underpins the ability to track these kinds of measures is I will stress a DOI and an orchid. They are the common thread running behind all the data when you get to this evidence gathering stage, and you will be grateful to your past self for having the four sides to get to use them. Okay. So just make sure you get your orchid and when you do publish get a DOI for any kind of research output. Okay. In summary, for your publication stage, you found your orchid number but none of your research is linked on it. You will have to add that yourself, Alison. Okay. I will give you some contact details at the end of this presentation and if you want to contact a librarian to help you out. You can. Okay. So in summary for your publication stage you publish in the highest impact journal, you can for your discipline or topic. Look at ways to make your work open access to maximize research and make sure key databases index your journal. Okay, this will impact your outreach as well. You sign up for orchid to ensure accurate metrics to capture the engagement of your research. And you also have to assess it in for your academic and societal impact as well. We have created a research support guide, which explains everything that I've just talked about in more depth. It's got some interactive videos on it and some cool H5P things that you can click on and play around with. Do visit it. It's, it's within the library website, and it is a work in progress as well. So we are constantly updating it with new information with more and information that can be better explained as well. So it will be there. Up next is the traditional and emerging metrics. And there's the bedroom. You can also open it up in the QR code. I'll give you like a few seconds to do that if you would like. And I'm sure Crystal has put it into the chat as well at the beginning of the session. We also have more workshops coming up on Monday the 8th of August this year. It is another strategic publishing workshop and another traditional emerging metrics workshop in our library calendar. So please encourage your friends and fellow researchers to do sign up for them and turn up. We would love to have you all here with us. And if you ever need to get in touch and you have more questions, and you need some help with your research profiles and understanding our metric a little bit more and, you know, what a Q1 journal is. We're only a phone call away. You can always email us the library at cdu.edu.au. That is possibly the best way to get in touch with us by email. And we have a fantastic team of librarians that can always help you out. Okay. And yeah, that's that's it for today. That's all I've got. If you do have any questions, feel free to use the chat, use your mic. We did finish 10 minutes early. So if you would like to ask questions go ahead. No problem. I hope you enjoyed that. I'm going to stop the share right now. And I'm also going to stop recording.
