1. Beyond the paper resume and how to develop an online profile as a scientist

2. Who in the room has an ORCID (and did you set it up yourself?)
Questions to Start…
Who in the room has an ORCID (and did you set it up yourself?)

3. Questions to Start…
Who in the room has an ORCID (and did you set it up yourself?)
Who has NOT heard of AltMetrics?

4. And one selfish one…
Who in the room has an ORCID (and did you set it up yourself?)
Who has NOT heard of AltMetrics?
Who hasn’t used ChemSpider yet???

5. How much work? How much work is done generating and analyzing data?
How much effort to represent your science – presentations, publications?
How long does it take to write a publication?
How much work does it take to go through the peer review process?
Does anyone now argue against Open Access?
What about the future of Open Data?

6. …and do you market it???
How much work do you put into your own profile (versus other aspects of you on Facebook )
Even if you are not going to be a scientist your online profile is increasingly important.

7. The Power of Social Media

9. The Power of Blogs

10. The Power of Blogs (from Sean Ekins, @collabchem)

11. Is exposure important???
Does a highly viewed paper mean better science? CLEARLY NO!
If AltMetrics is one of the new measures clearly visibility and discoverability is important
Considering the investment made in the science is there a downside to investing in exposing it?
YES…it can be called “gaming” or “savvy”

12. Visibility Means Discoverability
Q: Does a Social Profile as a scientist matter?
You are visible, when you share your skills, experience and research activities by:
Establishing a public profile
Getting on the record
Collaborative Science
Demonstrating a skill set
Measured using “alternative metrics”
Contributing to the public peer review process
There are many ways to become “visible”

13. My entry into social media
I was NOT a follower into the world of social media
I am actually this guy…
But challenge me and I get a “little vocal”

14. Learning about blogging the hard way
ChemSpider was a “hobby project”
Housed in a basement and running off three servers – one bought, two built
Sensitive to weather and power stability
Went live at ACS Spring 2007 in Chicago

20. Your Profile as a Scientist
If you are an active scientist – i.e. already published, active researcher, generator of data, early, mid- or late career there is lots to do!
If you are a junior scientist the benefits of investing time now will provide a strong foundation for your future!
So what do I do??

21. Maybe you should be a brand?
If you are going forth into the social network adopt a “brand name” throughout the network
Search Google for your “brand name”
Choose a unique brand or be yourself
BRAND: Collabchem, ChemConnector
YOURSELF: egonwillighagen, joergwegner

22. Branding: I am ChemConnector

23. My Online Profile Shared on..
Places I am viewable:
Online CVs
LinkedIn
Google Scholar Citations for citations
Microsoft Academic Scholar for papers
ImpactStory

28. Are you a-tweeting on Twitter?
140 characters to connect and communicate
Use your “brand name” on Twitter – it has high frequency here…
Greatest value for me – bite-sized nuggets into information of interest and leading people into information I wish to share including my posts, my activities
Faster responses than commonly!

29. You should be LinkedIn LinkedIn for “professionals”
Expose work history, skills, your professional interests, your memberships – your profile WILL be watched!
Who you are linked to says a lot about who you are. Get Linked to people in your domain.
Professional relationships rather than just friendships. FaceBook-it for friends

40. Scientists are “Quantified”
We are quantified, stats are gathered and analyzed
Employers can find them, tenure will depend on them and these already happen without your participation
Scientists Impact Factors, H-index and many other variants.

Containers for compounds, reactions, analytical data, tabular data
Algorithms for data validation and standardization
Flexible indexing and search technologies
A platform for modeling data and hosting existing models and predictive algorithms

73. My views of the future “Altmetrics” is going to be big
ORCID will be very important
Scientists, and especially young scientists, can “get in early” and build reputation
It takes effort driven by participation…

74. Contribute to Your Profile
The representation of YOU on the web is going to become increasingly important…
Engagement and participation is a choice…
Consider the value to both you and to your community regarding contribution
Open Data, Curations, Annotations etc.

75. RSC Activities of interest
We have adopted ORCIDs, are working with Kudos, display AltMetrics scores, have embraced Open Access and micropublishing
Our Global Chemistry Network project:
Will provide a path to profile management
Will open a data repository for your data
Will help in feeding data to AltMetrics tools
Will facilitate collaborative science

76. I recommend… Register for an ORCID ID Develop your LinkedIn profile
Publish to Slideshare
Track Google Scholar Citations (for now)
Choose: ResearchGate or Academia.edu
Participate in building your profile
