    Faculty Profile Systems: New Services and Roles for Libraries
    (portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2017-04) Mangiafico, P; Macklin, LA; Givens, M
    Many universities have implemented faculty pro le systems that capture faculty and researchers’ scholarly outputs and activities. These systems usually include public pro les and tools to help nd collaborators or experts. They may be used to create reports for faculty annual reviews or for promotion and tenure, or to assist faculty with complying with open access policies by facilitating deposit in institutional repositories. In many universities, libraries play a central role in the implementation of these systems. This paper explores three case studies showing how and why libraries came into this role and examines some of the consequences of this trend.

    Research Information Management at Duke University: A Researcher-centered Approach
    (Works in Progress Webinar, 2017-02-23) Mangiafico, P
    Duke University Libraries have worked collaboratively with other campus units to aggregate and manage research information to make knowledge produced by Duke researchers more broadly and openly available, help researchers build their reputations, archive copies of Duke scholarship, and to help researchers find collaborators, students find mentors, and journalists, policy makers, and the general public find experts. In order to achieve these goals, Duke is using the Symplectic Elements research information management (RIM) system, seamlessly integrating it with VIVO researcher profiles and the campus DukeSpace institutional repository. Researcher profiles are created automatically, populated with information sourced from both internal and external sources, and customized by profile holders or others delegated to do this on their behalf. Publication metadata are collected from numerous bibliographic sources such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and ArXiv, and Sherpa/Romeo integration assists librarians and scholars in navigating the complex rights landscape. Today the Scholars@Duke researcher expertise portal publicly features the scholarship, research, and activities of Duke faculty and academic staff. Duke faculty can conveniently upload full text versions of their publications for permanent archival and broader access, and links to open access versions of their work are integrated into their citations and public profiles alongside links to the published versions In implementing and promoting these services, Duke has taken a researcher-focused communications strategy, emphasizing how these services directly benefit scholars by saving them time and increasing the visibility of their publications. The libraries have also collaborated with units such as the Office of News & Communication to help embed links to open access versions of referenced research in campus press releases to maximize and measure impact. Widgets and an open API also enable easy reuse of Scholars@Duke information on campus and researcher web pages, as well as in library catalogs and Google Scholar, providing further convenience to the campus and global research community.

    Should you #DeleteAcademiaEdu? On the role of commercial services in scholarly communication
    (London School of Econonomics Impact Blog, 2016-02-01) Mangiafico, P
    Reflecting on the recent surge of criticism about the commercial motives of scholarly social media platform Academia.edu, Paolo Mangiafico argues this is now an ideal opportunity for scholars to make informed choices about their work. If you are comfortable with the trade-offs and risks, and willing to exchange those for the service provided, then don’t #DeleteAcademiaEdu. But consider whether alternatives exist that will meet your needs while also preserving your ability to keep control of your work.
