Some Questions for you…

•Consider…– How many of you have an ORCID?– How many of you have LinkedIn?– How many of you have SlideShare?– How many of you have published >3 papers?– How many of you share your work online?

•Maybe after this it will change…

Office of Research andDevelopment

Who markets your work???If not you, then who?

•“It's not the job of researchers to becomeexperts in public relations — that's whyuniversities have press offices, says MattShipman, research communications lead atNorth Carolina State University in Raleigh.But he recommends scientists toot theirown horns as well. ”

My Hopes for Today

• Encourage you in the “era of participation”• Provide an overview of some tools available • Share some stories, statistics and strategies• Encourage you to “share for the sake of

community/science as well as for yourself”

• OUTCOMES• You will claim an ORCiD• You will invest ~2 hours per month on your profile• You have a bigger “Impact” online….

ORCID – The Scientists SSN

Office of Research andDevelopment

What’s the value of ORCID?

• ORCIDs are now expected for many publications

• Single click through to your ORCID page – how rich is your ORCID biography??? See

Publishers Requiring ORCIDs…https://orcid.org/content/mandating-orcid-publication-workflows-open-letter

Office of Research andDevelopment

It’s a Scientists SSN – use it in various places

Office of Research andDevelopment

Use ORCID on all products• Use your ORCID on everything you produce that will be indexed:–Presentations–Posters–Your profiles

Office of Research andDevelopment

Google will index all of your works…even if ORCID doesn’t

Office of Research andDevelopment

Think about it…

• 100s if not 1000s of hours of research behind a paper. How much work is the PUBLISHER going to do to make sure people find out about your article?? How do you find out about an article???

• Shouldn’t YOU and your CO-AUTHORS invest some time in getting it out to the network???

• A presentation given to a small room of people has a lifetime of “20-30 mins”. A presentation shared online for all to see lives a lot longer. An article shared in the network has a much wider audience.

What I said…http://www.nature.com/news/kudos-promises-to-help-scientists-promote-their-papers-to-new-audiences-1.20346

…choose two or three social-media platforms, invest the time to get them set up, and then spend perhaps two hours a month keeping them current. If nothing else, he says, build a LinkedIn profile as an online CV, claim and update an ORCID ID, and log peer-review activities on Publons.com.

…a research paper is itself the end product of an extraordinary investment of time and energy. It takes thousands of hours of research, data analysis, writing and peer review, he says. “Shouldn't you put at least 10 to 20 hours of work into making sure that you can get the message out to relevant people?”
