SCOOP.IT/CytomicsWorldCTCUSA 2012 November • Information overload + more and

more grey literature)But when there are 200 000 000 tweets per day or

more activity on the web in 60 seconds than you could produce in a whole life, how to be sure your online strategy is still efficient

• How to surf the internet information wave? Published papers open source or not....– Universities: Personal solutions– Companies: Press reviewing

• University duty: helping colleagues and students

Access to black and white, and coloured literature...

• Scientific publications– After Current Contents!– Publishers databases (Web of

Science, ScienceDirect)– PubMed

• Patents databases• Company Websites

Grey Literaturesince end of 90's,

• Thesis, Reports• Patents• Scientific News Magazines (GEN) • Press releases, Press agencies• Internet

– Websites, Blogs, Tweets?– Social networks (Facebook,

Linkedin..)...RSS flux– So much information... it becomes

grey

Connectivism

Connectivism: a theory of learning based on the premise that

knowledge exists in the world rather than in the head of an individual

One aspect of connectivism is the use of a network with nodes and connections as a central metaphor for learning. In this metaphor, a node is anything that can be connected to another node within a network such as an organisation: information, data, feelings, images.

Connectivism sees learning as the process of creating connections and developing a network.

Curation...

.... the process of establishing and developing long term repositories of digital assets for current and future reference by researchers, scientists, historians, and scholars.

Enterprises are starting to utilize digital curation to improve the quality of information and data within their operational and strategic processes..

• ..... is expression, action and passion!

Curation tools

• Google news• Pearltrees, Paper.li, Pinterest, TumblR• Scoop.it

– Individual (5 topics, 1 curator)– Educational plan (30 topics, n

curators)– Business– Posts proposed by robot, pages found

by curator, posts edited by curator

Scoop.it .... CYTOMICSIs Curation the answer

– Purpose: Knowledge watching – Material: information on internet

• From « dog manure » to GOLD digging

– Methods:among other tools• Choice of Scoop it

– Results: one year experience– Future: U to B (University to

Business)

Science/Knowledge watchingon Scoop it

• A day to day duty for scientists and researchers like « Walking the dog »

• Scoop it: a virtual space– to collect and keep highly selected

informations • As well as others scooped by other

curators in your community

– to find them when required

Summary

• Probably the best curation tool on the web• A virtual scientific news « journal » and

database easy to browse with pictures• The « Search » function is far better than

evoked

• The human factor of curation is the added value compared to robots (SEO Search engine optimization)

UtoB (University to Business)Benefits for a company

Information is selected according to your interets by specialists of the field

You do not miss specific informations from scientific or grey literature

You can post specific informations about your own products to be visible

If somebody does it for you! All the betterWhy not become a partner

if you are interested by our topics?
