Title: Aligning HKUs Library Sponsored Institutional Repository Knowledge Hub with the Universitys Mission
1Aligning HKUs Library Sponsored Institutional
Repository (Knowledge Hub) with the Universitys
Mission Vision
- Tony Ferguson David Palmer
- The University of Hong Kong
ad
2The 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
3But how to populate it even more?
- Lacked sufficient carrots or sticks
- NO Mandate, no stick
- Some question the OA Advantages value as a
carrot - And getting authors to submit is already
difficult - What is the authors manuscript?
- Why use an Authors Addendum?
4Then, suddenly a Gift from Heaven !!
5Research 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
6That is the UK, but why is Knowledge Exchange so
important in Hong Kong?
- Hong Kongs 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 HK50million/yr to distribute to
ENCOURAGE the 8 universities to do more in the
way of Knowledge Exchange
7And so the U of HK has included Knowledge
Transfer in its 3 main goals
- Teaching Learning,
- Research, and
- Knowledge Exchange (KE)
8HKU has decided it needs a Database of Visible
Research
- This Database should showcase the Universitys
contributions and include - Metrics from citation databases
- Listing of Research Output Grants, etc.
- An expanded OA Strategy
- That Database of Visible Research is HKUs
Scholars Hub
9We believe this need to demonstrate HKUs
contributions to Knowledge Transfer provides us
with the sticks and carrots we need
Universities with fewer citations gets fewer
grants
10But we need Metrics to demonstrate HKUs
Effectiveness Harvesting metrics from Scopus
- 1,000 HKU researcher names
11More Metrics Harvesting from ISIs
ResearcherID.Com Database
- 1,000 HKU researcher names
12More 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
13- Roman Chinese names
- Title
- Variant Names
- Research Interests
- Picture
- Contact Details
- Personal Page
- Biography
- Collapse Button
- Expand Button
14- MouseOver on R produces popup
15- Media Spokesmanship We highlight the areas for
which faculty members can be called upon to give
advice, etc. -
16- We highlight how each faculty member compares
with others and make it easy to access their
writings - Bibliometrics
- Deep Linking
-
17- OA fulltext items in the Hub for this author
- d indicates there is an Researcher Page.
18Searching 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)
19Finding ResearcherPages in the Hub
- Search on RP details
- Expand buttons to show lists of researchers with
RP in each dept faculty
20Getting faculty buy in User Authentication in
the Hub
- HKU Single Sign-on (SSO / CAS)
21Staff mode each researcher can login to change
only his details
- Each RP owner can,
- Edit
- Add
- Delete
- Hide
22Researcher 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
23Example
- 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
24One of Prof Tams articles in the Hub
- Scopus 3 citations
- WoS 3 citations
- WoS Co-citers list(Prof Tam in his paper, and
others (co-citers) in their papers, have cited
the same 3rd party papers) - GoogleScholar Search for Cited-by
Example
25Progress
- 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?
26Future 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
27- Terima Kasih??????????? ??????????c?m on
b?n???????Se e??a??st? ?????????????Thank You
HKU Colleagues ????
