Using VIVO and Other Tools to Achieve a Strategic Vision
收藏资源简介：
A globally interconnected research world is the norm. This offers great opportunities for communication and collaboration across fields of research, but it also comes with great challenges, in particular for systems interoperability. Many technology products, systems and tools have been created to help universities and other research organizations meet these challenges while achieving their strategic goals. This is creating a new challenge: a confusing stack of technology for users to assemble into a functional research ecosystem.<br>This panel will explore how one university, Texas A&M, selected and implemented a technology stack and is using it to achieve their strategic plan, “Vision 2020: Creating a Culture of Excellence.” Their stack includes:• VIVO• ORCID• Repositories, Vireo & DSpace • PlumX <br>The panel will discuss the components and the interactions between them, to provide the audience concrete examples of a working, interconnected research ecosystem. <br>Texas A&M will describe its process for defining its technology needs, who was engaged, and the questions that drove decisionmaking. They will describe their current technology stack, and the connections between the components. One cross-platform connector used by Texas A&M is the ORCID ID, which is allowing them to integrate information about researcher works and affiliations across various systems and present this information in their VIVO instance. <br>ORCID will describe how ORCID identifiers are being used at universities to assert researcher affiliation, and how universities may benefit from integrations by publishers and funders. Consortia approaches to implementation and adoption will be discussed, as well as the use of ORCID in federated identity management systems such as eduGAIN, and how ORCID interacts with identifiers for works and organizations. <br>Green open-access institutional repositories are a key component of a research ecosystem. It is the container for the research output conducted at the university. Recent studies have shown that opening up access to research creates more usage and citations for that research. Texas A&M implemented Vireo for theses and dissertations and DSpace for faculty research. <br>How is all of this enabling Texas A&M to measure progress toward its strategic goals? As a component of its tech stack, Texas A&M has integrated PlumX to track research metrics in five categories: usage, captures, mentions, social media and citations. Sometimes this is referred to as altmetrics. This part of the panel will include a discussion of what Texas A&M has discovered by tracking metrics across disciplines including output for the humanities. It will also showcase some other use cases of metrics in institutional repositories, analytics reports and researcher dashboards.
全球互联的科研环境已成为常态。这为跨研究领域的沟通与协作提供了广阔机遇，但也带来了诸多挑战，尤其是在系统互操作性（systems interoperability）方面。 诸多技术产品、系统与工具应运而生，旨在帮助高校及其他科研机构应对上述挑战，同时达成其战略目标。但这也催生了新的难题：用户需将繁杂的技术栈（technology stack）整合为可用的科研生态系统（research ecosystem），过程颇为棘手。 本次专题小组讨论将探讨德州农工大学（Texas A&M）如何遴选并部署技术栈，以落实其《2020愿景：打造卓越文化》（Vision 2020: Creating a Culture of Excellence）战略规划。该校采用的技术栈包括：• VIVO • ORCID • 仓储库（Repositories）、Vireo与DSpace • PlumX 本次专题小组将剖析各组件及其交互关系，为参会者呈现一套可落地的互联科研生态系统的具体实例。 德州农工大学将介绍其明确技术需求的流程、参与方及驱动决策的核心问题，并阐述当前的技术栈与各组件间的关联。该校使用的一款跨平台连接器（cross-platform connector）为ORCID标识符（ORCID ID），借此可整合不同系统中研究者的成果与隶属关系信息，并在其VIVO实例中展示这些内容。 ORCID机构将介绍高校如何利用ORCID标识符确认研究者隶属关系，以及高校可从出版商与资助方的集成服务中获得哪些收益。讨论还将涉及实施与采用的联盟模式，以及ORCID在eduGAIN等联合身份管理系统（federated identity management systems）中的应用，还有ORCID如何与成果及机构标识符实现交互。 绿色开放获取机构仓储（Green open-access institutional repositories）是科研生态系统的核心组件，用于存储高校产出的科研成果。近期研究表明，开放科研成果的获取渠道可提升其使用量与被引频次。德州农工大学针对学位论文（theses and dissertations）部署了Vireo系统，并为教职员工的科研成果搭建了DSpace仓储。 上述部署如何助力德州农工大学衡量其战略目标的达成进度？作为技术栈的组成部分，该校集成了PlumX系统，以追踪五大类研究指标（research metrics）：使用量、获取量、提及量、社交媒体数据与被引频次，这类指标有时也被称为替代计量学（altmetrics）。本环节将讨论德州农工大学在跨学科（包括人文社科领域成果）追踪指标时的发现，同时展示指标在机构仓储、分析报告与研究者仪表盘（researcher dashboards）中的其他应用场景。
