Xin Shuai, Alberto Pepe, Johan Bollen et al. We analyze the online response of the scientific community to the preprint publication of scholarly articles. We employ a cohort of 4,606 scientific articles submitted to the preprint database arXiv.org between October 2010 and April 2011. We study three forms of reactions to these preprints: how they are downloaded on the arXiv.org site, how they are mentioned on the social media site Twitter, and how they are cited in the scholarly record. We perform two analyses. First, we analyze the delay and time span of article downloads and Twitter mentions following submission, to understand the temporal configuration of these reactions and whether significant differences exist between them. Second, we run correlation tests to investigate the relationship between Twitter mentions and both article downloads and article citations. We find that Twitter mentions follow rapidly after article submission and that they are correlated with later article... - Mr. Gunn

Pages: 10. Huina Mao, Scott Counts, Johan Bollen et al. Financial market prediction on the basis of online sentiment tracking has drawn a lot of attention recently. However, most results in this emerging domain rely on a unique, particular combination of data sets and sentiment tracking tools. This makes it difficult to disambiguate measurement and instrument effects from factors that are actually involved in the apparent relation between online sentiment and market values. In this paper, we survey a range of online data sets (Twitter feeds, news headlines, and volumes of Google search queries) and sentiment tracking methods (Twitter Investor Sentiment, Negative News Sentiment and Tweet & Google Search volumes of financial terms), and compare their value for financial prediction of market indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, trading volumes, and market volatility (VIX), as well as gold prices. We also compare the predictive power of traditional investor sentiment survey... - Mr. Gunn

Altmetrics. Clifford Tatum, Paul Wouters et al. The possibility of an Open Access Citation Advantage (OACA) continues to inspire researchers and advocates. The question of a citation advantage has important implications not only for Open Access as an alternative scholarly publishing model, but also for the careers of individual researchers. In both cases, increased citation translates into increased impact. However, in the efforts to improve upon studies of OACA, increased methodological rigor seems at the same time to remove much of the cultural context of openness. As factors of Open Access such as self-selection, collaboration proximity, and publication of draft texts, are found to influence citation, they are often eliminated from subsequent studies. With a conception of Open Access defined so narrowly, many important dimensions are rendered invisible. In an increasingly polarized debate[1], improvements in the validity of data and methods may have come at the expense of gains in... - Mr. Gunn

ECS EPrints Repository (2006). R Oppenheim C Brody T Hardy, S Hitchcock et al. A primary objective of this research is to identify a framework for universal citation services for open access (OA) materials, an ideal structure for the collection and distribution of citation information and the main requirements of such services. The work led to a recommended proposal that focuses on: • OA contents in IRs rather than on wider OA sources. • Capture and validation of well-structured reference metadata at the point of deposit in the IR. • Presentation of this data to harvesting services for citation indexes. The aim of the proposal is to increase the exposure of open access materials and their references to indexing services, and to motivate new services by reducing setup costs. A combination of distributed and automated tools, with some additional effort by authors, can be used to provide more accurate, more comprehensive (and potentially free) citation indices than currently exist.... - Mr. Gunn

Profesional de la información, El (2007). Volume: 16, Issue: 2. Sonia Jiménez Hidalgo, Javier Salvador Bruna et al. Los blogs, weblogs o bitácoras son herramientas que permiten la edición de cualquier tipo de contenidos en internet de manera sencilla y rápida. Estas virtudes han hecho que también sean utilizados por la comunidad investigadora y académica para el intercambio de ideas, convirtiéndose, de esta forma, en un nuevo canal que la ciencia y el conocimiento académico dispone para la difusión y confrontación de sus avances. No obstante, y como sucede en otros medios de comunicación científica más tradicionales, parece necesario y positivo el establecimiento de una serie de criterios de calidad que permita determinar en qué medida dichos medios son una forma fiable de intercambio de información. En este artículo se analizan aquellos aspectos de la calidad relacionados con la estructura formal de los blogs que incorporan contenidos de carácter científico y académico, sin tener en... - Mr. Gunn

Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on the Design of Cooperative Systems (COOP 08), (2008). Dario Taraborelli et al. Online reference managers are extraordinary productivity tools, but it would be a mistake to take this as their primary interest for the academic community. As it is often the case for social software services, online reference managers are becoming powerful and costless solutions to collect large sets of metadata, in this case collaborative metadata on scientific literature Published using Mendeley: The library management tool for researchers - Mr. Gunn

ECS EPrints Repository (2006). S Harnad et al. The online-age practice of self-archiving has been shown to increase citation impact by a dramatic 50-250%, but so far only 15% of researchers are actually doing it. If a country invests R billion Euros in its research, this translates into the loss of 50% x 85% = 42.5% or close to R/2 billion Euros’ worth of potential citation impact simply for failing to self-archive it all. It is as if someone bought R billion Euros worth of batteries and lost 42.5% of their potential usage simply for failing to refrigerate them all before use. Europe is losing almost 50% of the potential return on its research investment until research funders and institutions mandate that all research findings must be made freely accessible to all would-be users, webwide Published using Mendeley: The reference manager for researchers - Mr. Gunn

Altmetrics. Samuel Arbesman et al. Scientometrics is no longer simply the domain of the analysis at the level of the publication. Due to the advent of vast computational resources and storage capacity available to scientists and automated science [1–4] , there is now the potential for a new type of scientific measurement: quantitatively examining scientific discoveries themselves. This study of discoveries, rather than simply scientific publications, offers the opportunity to understand science at a deeper level. In a previous paper, this discovery-based approach to scientometrics, which we termed eurekometrics, was explored [5]. Here I briefly explore eurekometrics and its potential growth, as well as how eurekometrics and discoveries can be integrated into the altmetrics framework.

Serials Review (2004). Volume: 30, Issue: 4. Stevan Harnad, Tim Brody, Francois Vallieres, Les Carr, Steve Hitchcock, Yves Gingras, Charles Oppenheim, Chawki Hajjem, Eberhard R Hilf et al. The research access/impact problem arises because journal articles are not accessible to all of their would-be users; hence, they are losing potential research impact. The solution is to make all articles open access (OA, i.e., accessible online, free for all). OA articles have significantly higher citation impact than non-OA articles. There are two roads to OA: the 'golden' road (publish your article in an OA journal) and the 'green' road (publish your article in a non-OA journal but also self-archive it in an OA archive). About 10% of journals are gold, but over 90% are already green (i.e., they have given their authors the green light to self-archive); yet only about 10-20% of articles have been self-archived. To reach 100% OA, self-archiving needs to be mandated by researchers' employers and... - Mr. Gunn

Proceedings of the 73rd ASIS&T Annual Meeting. J Priem, K L Costello et al. Scholars are increasingly using the microblogging service Twitter as a communication platform. Since citing is a central practice of scholarly communication, we investigated whether and how scholars cite on Twitter. We conducted interviews and harvested 46,515 tweets from a sample of 28 scholars and found that they do cite on Twitter, though often indirectly. Twitter citations are part of a fast-moving conversation that participants believe reflects scholarly impact. Twitter citation metrics could augment traditional citation analysis, supporting a “scientometrics 2.0.” Published using Mendeley: The digital library for researchers - Mr. Gunn
