Good afternoon and thank you for having me here and I want to say hi to friends from the Middle East so this is like muscle care so this is getting into the evening. I kind of follow the thread of my presentation will be less of a
00:25
programming part it would be from more from the user experience and also from the qualitative even though I love data with some descriptive data it's very I promised for a lot of data in my abstract but family application and I
00:45
just came back from standing in to organize a conference in Abu Dhabi giving like one month to finish doing that so in November earlier so I'm sorry that this will be less data but I hope I that it will be informative nonetheless. So
01:12
overview my question has to do with really much of kind of to see where our
01:22
researchers live we ask a lot of student other people where do they live in terms of on the web so this is the same idea where our users who are researchers spend their time contributing paper and such thing it's
01:41
also this is an overview so I'm going to look at some overview and looking at the population and I take a smaller sample set so that I can really get acquainted with the with the qualitative data from the we have
02:02
each year we have a faculty publication that the Office of Research has produced the latest in 2012 because we have a lot of admin change and I have some so that's the latest data I have so far and I also select only a
02:22
few research ID system but balancing between the professional services like LC name authority VIAF and ISNI and then the other side is a what people have been self-register system such as research gate and Google scholars so
02:44
these are very much at the preliminary findings because I just look for what kind of stories and these data telling me I'm not interested in so much of the quantitative but looking at the qualitative side of thing
03:00
looking at the implication filling data environment and also what else that I need to look for so I have more question our dispersed data set then I going in so that will be shared with you too so why is this topic this is some of my research interest early on I look at projects that
03:25
mapping for data visualization presenting what interconnected mapping the knowledge domain I also had some practical work using his side which is
03:41
software that using web of science data to extract to see how the genealogy research seminar papers and mapping the research domain and I use that to support a practical project for human trafficking research for our researcher
04:00
in in the u.s. why I was working for six years there my current interest really is this last year is my first time to come to sweet and a lot had happened since then when I went back from sweet 14 in born I wrote a
04:23
paper for the admin to to cut a map the planning for the future the libraries in the big frame a link data context I have three conference presentation one for our army counted work in just the American University system in Middle
04:43
East and Europe and also I went to Abu Dhabi to organize a conference for innovative user group which is a library system you circle and we discuss the thing data there as well and this paper is the third one so sweet 14
05:02
really have this much impact for my work now so then the pilot study really I just say okay what's going on with our researcher how do they distribute their data how do they share their scholarly publication and creative works and hand and names identify in different author identifier
05:26
system on the web so the goal is to explore how best to present their data as linked data so the population and the AC faculty who have publication in the records and this can be conference paper creative work
05:43
books and journals or anything that are publishable. The sample set I used this also this publication for that 2012 calendar year so I have 55 faculty in
06:16
this data set and I select using the random sampling to 45 so making sure
06:25
that they cut across different discipline and school but with a smaller department I can include them all for ten faculty so I have a look at different site for this not everything that I listed in the abstract I want
06:40
to get into to look at how their names are presented also whatever data that comes to my reading that would inform me so it's very open and no hypothesis nothing it's just really totally exploratory at this point so my notes on the data gathering and analysis this book alone is only 2012
07:11
so it's limited to that year publication when I went out to Google Scholar or other things I need to look at the whole research profile so I
07:22
ended up using the faculty profile in most university if you are required to publish and no report there's something called digital master which is a platform that you submit your citation and different things so you see profile
07:42
is using the same tool it's called the repertoire so we every year we have to submit our publication and update CV so that's where I have to look because the 2012 alone is not enough to identify any name in in the registry
08:04
so I use different things the names the profile photos even because I know this faculty by face we live in a close-knit community and the institution also because they move around we have a high mobility group here publication
08:22
and other CV information and that's a limitation of the profile once you leave the campus that profile would be down so this would be the implication for web archiving as well and the data is not open because this is from the database and it's also limit to learn English language publication
08:44
because there you see language is official language is English so I look at two tiers of service professional service and the LC name authority virtual international authority find the international standard of national
09:03
identity and name identity and Google Scholar so because these are better with the multilingual data the services does service on the other hand scholar themselves use English for their profile even though they may have other
09:21
publication in different language and I limit to open data so anything like Google or any search engine can find the authors are also identify themselves as in romanized name so if they have Arabic name I learned enough Arabic to write find that in the system but not but they're not
09:43
going to publish that in Arabic on the professional side so I want to
10:05
Congress authority is an item at virtual international authority fire isn't I through VIF research gate and also Google Scholar the last two other one that researcher which is third himself now I'll see if you are librarian you
10:28
are familiar with this but I can't assume that for everybody so these are the system that is there with one form of heading with reference from the other form using research and publication as a way to reference the
10:44
name so for example this is a very short one professor and Gilga share she has only one reference to her book so in her own profile you get across
11:03
longer we have is a bit better because it does integrate national
11:27
libraries around the world and it's a single or OCLC hosted name authority services so you can see that these are we have contributors from around the
11:43
world the other one I look at we have already linked with the international standard name identifier so in we have if you search in in we
12:19
have you already will find the ISNI in it too now the other system so those
12:31
are the one that the professional create for the researcher now I found a lot of my researcher live here in research get it's a new system found in
12:43
2008 they say this is for research scientists for scientists and it is right now in Germany is found by the physician doctor Dr. Elliot Mandish and also Dr. Soren Halfmeyer right now it is not an open access you can see from
13:07
Google but to get the paper you have to sign in to get that chairing going with your colleagues but it's free but not innocent I put that in there because Bill Gates and other company invest in research gate because they can
13:22
get the research data for their own use so this is like a lot of money I think going into research gate so for example you can see why the user will like this I have the professor Clement Henry he has to profile one as
13:44
an emeritus in Texas one for AUC and he has one of the high ranking score his citation score is much higher than the others so and it's not by the age he's retired but he has like in everything in LC Authority in real in
14:02
research getting Google Scholar so he really established himself and he got a lot of followers and you can see that that's a social media function and so on the analytics so if you like to feel good about your research products
14:22
and project this is something you get update research gets sent me too many emails I used to have my paper in digital commons I get it tells me how many get download who download and from different countries so those are nice to have but research get report almost every interaction you have with
14:45
anyone but it is this social network function that make this to be attractive and give the incentive to people to deficit their data in this system so
15:03
also I have to proclaim in here claiming has to double identity just
15:25
to make sure that you understand AUC is not a research institute but it has research lab and high profile it has about six thousand five hundred in the enrollment and also grab and with the p.s. some p.s. these new so it's not
15:46
really high ranking but that's enough of the faculty who get into LC and so I try to get to data and conclusion and my time so the faculty has 40% US
16:04
nationality 40 Egypt 40% Egyptians and roughly 20% international the language of instruction is English these are my data and in the sample we have the
16:23
school the big the two big schools are humanity and social science it has more presence in this system and the other one is the school of science and engineering but you can see that when you compare this data when they have
16:41
this across the board so the random sampling should be a representative so we have performed the highest so the 55 faculty they have more presence in second in LC and if and see five but between research getting Google
17:02
Scholar research get has more presence and is in I is the third one so I have to say okay so what's happening here so we have to separate two category professional service by LC and we have and also the cell which
17:23
is the service the perfect other across they're gonna have the present across the board but the discipline will also make a difference in in the humanity and social science they are better present in LC so has has 15
17:42
and the engineering school has only three but they are at high level in we have because of the conference proceeding so publication type is also but some of us are not perfect author we may have book chapters so these are not
18:06
going to be presents because in the in the OCLC record we are not included as a main author or additional also this some of these are some example so some
18:24
implication from my finding so we had to do some local record enhancement for our faculty who has book chapters encourage others to also register for something like or CID to create their own profile even in Mandarin or
18:44
Google Scholar or research game the other two ends mobility and mobility if someone pass away or move away the profile at the institution also be wipe away so this way if we have another remedy so in link data to challenge how
19:05
do we map the linkage among the size for on the one hand for professional service and the other hand for the self-register service I want to point out that we invest a lot I mean OCLC and folks in VF and I assume I had
19:26
done a great job linking and creating this linkage but researchers also live and have more fulfilled profile in self-register service so the pros of self-register service is they can create their own research identity
19:44
their one is of use they like that automatic update who interact with them email and also uses statistics list to put that in the 10-year ranking and review and it was free they like it better too and they also like the
20:06
citation metric and graphs and they also want to protect their work so it has to be somewhat closer research gate it's good that it it shows Google to see okay these are the citation but not the paper itself you had to register to share the paper the social network function they love that
20:25
collaboration and citation linkage but the con part is that these are English language dominant we have professor who published in Roman script and also in Arabic script so we need to look into those issue incomplete data because
20:43
they don't update sometime and publication lists are not inclusive so they may or may not be updating their own site over time so I have a lot more work to do so I go back to my data and include more if my researcher are
21:06
not in any of these system and they in acts IV in other in other side so I need to look for more of those the name variants type publication 10-year ranking and all of those and include more from different faculty but that's
21:26
also an implication we are with Amical consortium of 25 countries of the American liberal arts institution so if we can create some kind link data platform to link all of Amical institution together we can really
21:46
create much better collaboration so this is a link data elements that these research hopefully can take it so my conclusion is researcher in the 21st
22:02
century tend to have more scattered identities at their local institution and other professional and self-register services the challenge as we go forward to link data model is how to maintain the multiple identity for each researcher cross-link the data and provide access to the ID system
22:22
across the board not only to the more horrific writers and creators. Two more works so I did link try to look at Karen Smith-Yoshimura research from OCLC on research identities and that's also a good article on the relationship
22:45
between ASNI and VF by Anjali and her team so I want to add that thank you very much I'm sorry I'm between you and the coffee breaks
