DESCRIPTION

As a result of the advent of internet technologies supporting participation on the internet via blogs, wikis and other social networking approaches, chemists now have an opportunity to contribute to the growing chemistry content on the web. As scientists an important skill to develop is the ability to succinctly report in a published format the details of scientific experimentation. The Royal Society of Chemistry provides a number of online systems to share chemistry data, the most well known of these being the ChemSpider database. In parallel the ChemSpider SyntheticPages (CSSP) platform is an online publishing platform for scientists, and especially students, to publish the details of chemical syntheses that they have performed. Using the rich capabilities of internet platforms, including the ability to display interactive spectral data and movies, CSSP is an ideal environment for students to publish their work, especially syntheses that might not support mainstream publication.

How will the internet influence you?

• How many of you visit the internet/check your email less than a dozen times per day?

• Where do you go for fact-checking?• How many of you “Bookmark” anymore?• How many on Facebook? How many on Twitter?• How many of you are working on building a

scientific profile online?• How many of you online now???

As a Young Scientist…

• It takes a while to bring up a strong publication profile

• Writing, submitting, getting reviewed, getting published could be many months!

• But it’s easy to become an Online Scientist today!

• Contribution to science is a few keystrokes away – sharing, part of the likesonomy culture

So back to the title….

• “Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers”– The internet has changed what it means to “publish” – In terms of recognition of publishing online the

internet is now a publisher– Publishing is not just papers – commentaries, data,

reports, presentations, videos etc. All are valuable– But DOI’ed publications are still good for the CV!

Tweets are “publications”

Places to “Publish” for Profile

• Blogs – easy to setup, generally free, part of the portfolio of contribution

• Twitter, Facebook, Google+, YouTube, etc.• Contributions to Wikipedia • A myriad of chemistry communities• Publish chemicals, syntheses and data• AND be rewarded and recognized via AltMetrics

Page 14: Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers

Blog• Opinions, procedures, observations, experiences • Rich environment for delivery and engagement

Presentations

Presentations, Videos, Report, Pre-publications

Page 16: Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers

YouTube/Vimeo/SciVee

• Presentations are easy to turn into movies and publish to these services

• Literally “gives you a voice”

Data & Curations to ChemSpider

• 28.5 million chemicals and growing daily• The Royal Society of Chemistry free database• Amenable to community contribution

– Deposit structures, property data, spectral data– Collections of data– Associated directly with the depositor– Annotations and curations all logged to user

Page 20: Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers

ChemSpider

Page 21: Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers

Deposition of Data

• Deposit structures, spectra, properties, data collections (thousands of compounds etc)

Page 22: Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers

Being a Data Source

Page 23: Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers

How much data is lost?• How many reactions in a thesis never get

published?• How many spectra of common materials could

be shared?• How many properties are measured and lost?• What stands in the way of sharing?

– Is it technology? – Permissions? “The Boss”, Licensing?

Is it working?• Show of hands…

– How many of you know CSSP?– Have any of you submitted to CSSP?

• Low submissions but some dedicated authors

Is it working?• What reasons are there you would not publish?

– Time– Approval from supervisor– Need to keep the science quiet– Publishing on CSSP prevents future publishing?

Rewards and Recognition

• The badgesonomy culture of recognition is growing.

• Badges are commonplace– FourSquare – Klout

Page 40: Engaging students in publishing on the internet early in their careers

Rewards and Recognition

• Rewards and Recognition starting with CSSP then expands to other platforms

• Including paths to expose such recognition on AltMetrics platforms – in discussion…

Benefits of “Publishing“ Early..

• Publishing is changing and has many forms• Data, figures, reports, videos, and… • Online exposure develops reputation, benefits

the community, engages discussion and collaboration.

• RSC Platform open to chemistry data: chemicals, property data, spectral data, syntheses etc.
