How can the scholarly field measure individual research impact with regards to their publications and presentations?
Digital Footprints
Digital footprints emerge as we communicate and interact online over social media, content sharing platforms, and by using and subscribing to tools and services (Bodhani, 2012).
Will you be “Googled well?” asks Richardson (2008). Let’s find out.
How well will Google represent the you the researcher, teacher, etc.?
{Good question.}

The Digital Scholar• Impacts for digital scholarship include the
quantity of peer-reviewed online information sources, the growth of social, peer academic networks, and the variety and range of content to draw upon for research that has broadened to include drafts of publications, conference presentations, blog posts, video and audio (Weller, 2011).
Assessment of Research Performance
Literature Review• What is shared through networks may not
always be the true story. (Latour, 1986)• Challenge with assessing scientific
performance at the individual level (Vieira & Gomes, 2011)
• “move the evaluation from the power of the scientific journals to the quality of the single researcher (Castelnuovo, Limonata, Sarmiento & Molinari, 2010, p. 111)

The Social (Media) Scholar
Beyond these specific scholarly platforms, we have seen an increase in social networking use, academic blogging or microblogging (e.g. Twitter), and online sharing of images, videos, and audio for both data and research distribution.

“Academics should utilize these emerging platforms to increase their influence and reach beyond traditional publishing forums. These researcher identification and citation tools are not “just for geeks,” but rather a growing expectation for scholarship development and publication notation. It is a critical time to rethink how research is produced, distributed, and acknowledged.”
