Aligning HKU’s Library Sponsored Institutional Repository (Knowledge Hub) with the University’s Mission & Vision Tony Ferguson & David Palmer The University of Hong Kong a 1
The HKU Scholars Hub/Institutional Repository June 2009: 25, 000+ items OA fulltext, including 17, 012 thesis 4, 125 journal articles 2, 165 conference papers Good, but we should be able to do a lot better! Scopus receives 3, 000/yr from HKU 2
But how to populate it even more? Lacked sufficient carrots or sticks NO Mandate, no stick Some question the OA Advantage’s value as a carrot And getting authors to submit is already difficult: “What is the author’s manuscript? ” “Why use an Author’s Addendum? ” 3
Then, suddenly a Gift from Heaven !! 4
Research Councils UK Pronouncement on the importance of Knowledge Transfer/Exchange “Knowledge transfer describes how knowledge and ideas move between the knowledge source to the potential users of that knowledge. “ The [UK] Research Councils encourages knowledge transfer by supporting schemes and activities to transfer good ideas, research results and skills between, for example, universities and other research organisations, business, the third sector, public sector and/or the wider community. ” http: //www. rcuk. ac. uk/innovation/ktportal/default. htm 5
That is the UK, but why is Knowledge Exchange so important in Hong Kong? Hong Kong’s higher education sector continues to reflect its colonial past and so they are now emphasizing Knowledge Exchange/ Transfer. Consequently, in Hong Kong our University Grants Council has HK$50 million/yr to distribute to ENCOURAGE the 8 universities to do more in the way of Knowledge Exchange 6
And so the U of HK has included Knowledge Transfer in its 3 main goals 1) Teaching & Learning, 2) Research, and 3) Knowledge Exchange (KE) 7
HKU has decided it needs a Database of Visible Research This Database should showcase the University’s contributions and include: ♦ Metrics from citation databases ♦ Listing of Research Output & Grants, etc. ♦ An expanded OA Strategy That Database of Visible Research is HKU’s Scholar’s Hub 8
We believe this need to demonstrate HKU’s contributions to Knowledge Transfer provides us with the sticks and carrots we need Universities with fewer citations gets fewer grants 9
But we need Metrics to demonstrate HKU’s Effectiveness: Harvesting metrics from Scopus 1, 000 HKU researcher names 10
More Metrics: Harvesting from ISI’s Researcher. ID. Com Database 1, 000 HKU researcher names 11
More Metrics: We collect data from several local databases/silos Name & Contact Details HKU Communications Directory Picture & Biography Departmental web pages Media Spokesmanship HKU Communications & Public Affairs Office Metrics Scopus & RID We harvest each of these from their own silos Visual Studio Excel XML Hub 12
Roman & Chinese names Title Variant Names Research Interests Picture Contact Details Personal Page Biography 13 Collapse Button Expand Button
14 Mouse. Over on “R” produces popup
15 Media Spokesmanship: We highlight the areas for which faculty members can be called upon to give advice, etc.
We highlight how each faculty member compares with others and make it easy to access their writings: Bibliometrics Deep Linking 16
OA fulltext items in the Hub for this author “ ” indicates there is an Researcher Page. 17
Searching on names in the Hub Hierarchy of Authority & Synonymy Authorized headings Variant headings Multi-script Synonymy Roman, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. (UTF-8) 18
Finding Researcher. Pages in the Hub Search on RP details Expand buttons to show lists of researchers with RP in each dept & faculty 19
Getting faculty buy in: User Authentication in the Hub HKU Single Sign-on (SSO / CAS) 20
Staff mode; each researcher can login to change only his details Each RP owner can, Edit Add Delete Hide 21
Researcher Buy-in Hub provides what researchers want: Increased readership Increased offers of collaboration Advancement ammunition Recognition The researcher has control over his own details Same details shown for every HKU researcher Pride of Place; jockeying for position 22
Prof. Tam, Paul K. H. Dept of Surgery, Head Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research) Hub appears first in Google, above even entries for Scientific Commons and Surgery Dept 23
One of Prof Tam’s articles in the Hub Scopus: 3 citations Wo. S: Co-citers list(Prof Tam in his paper, and others (cociters) in their papers, have cited the same 3 rd party papers) Google. Scholar Search for Cited-by Example 24
Progress University Admin requests each researcher to do, show and measure Knowledge Transfer Researchers discover the many benefits of the Hub, and respond: Early days but. . , 50% more responses and faster, to our batch emailings Can a real OA/IR mandate be far behind? 25
Future Enhancements Download statistics, cumulated by month, year, item, and researcher Monthly emails to researchers on download statistics of his papers RSS, email alerts & twitter on Hub additions Hub ingestion of all HKU research output citations Research Grant details Postgraduate student supervision; links to their theses HKU patents 26
