Main Take-Aways
Go where your community is – your lab homepage is not
enough
Interact and collaborate with your community
Be aware of metrics and communication around your work
Don‘t just be a Me-former, be an informer
4
Pre-Prints
Depositing your work in a repository prior to submitting it to
a conference or journal

Gives others immediate open access to your work
Makes your work visible to the world immediately
Starts the discussion even before publication
Caveats
Need to check journal/publisher policies
Finding an appropriate preprint archive

Self-archiving research outputs
Publishing other kinds of research outputs (data, source
code, images, posters, slides…) on the Web
Benefits
Enables others to build on top of your work
Makes your output available to others in a citable format
Your outputs receive a Digital Object Identifier
Caveats
Make sure that you have the legal right to publish these outputs
Assign a permissive license (CC-BY or CC0) and document to
maximise potential for reuse
Choose a service known to your community

Self-archiving research outputs: Benefits

Posting to Social Media
Announcing your work and interacting with your peers on
social media
Benefits
Provides a forum for scholarly communication outside of
journals and conferences
Enables quick interaction with your peers
Amplifies your message and gives you the possibility to break it
down to the main messages

Altmetrics
Altmetrics: alternative metrics based on data generated in
online systems
Benefits
Assess publications quicker and on a broader scale
Consider all outputs of research, not just papers
Allow you to track the reception of your work
Caveats
As with any metrics, treat these numbers with caution
You need a unique ID (DOI, arXiv-ID, Pubmed ID) to play
