1 Game Changers for Researchers: Altmetrics, Big Data, Open Access What Might They Change? Kiki Forsythe, M.L.S.

2 Definition of Game Changer A newly introduced element or factor that changes an existing situation or activity in a significant way.

3 Big Data & Text Mining What a Pair! Big data a hot concept 3 V s of Big Data Volume of Data Velocity of Processing Data Variability of Data Sources Text mining a necessity to deal with the 3 v s Text mining offers new approaches to analyzing information Life Science - 1 st Human Genome Sequence

4 The Parable of Google Flu: Traps in Big Data Analysis

5 Scientific Validity Did Not Compute

6 What Went Wrong with GFT?

7 Was GFT Useful at All?

8 Google Constantly Improves Its Search Engines

9 Lesson Learned: Data Transparency and Replication

10 Understanding the Undiscovered

11 Large Data Sets: Medicine Genetic data such as pharmacogentics Electronic health records Epidemics - Ebola

12 Text Mining from Big Data: Pharmaceutical Companies

13 Text Mining and Health Care Large scale studies

14 Technologies for Mining Text from IBM and NuMedii IBM accelerated drug discovery solution Platform aggregates patents, scientific literature, basic chemistry, biology knowledge Search tool to discover compounds for specific diseases 16 million unique chemical structures Information gathering on 7,000 diseases Drug repurposing using existing drugs

15 Mining Existing Resources = BIG DATA Big Data casts a wide net to identify Leads Big Knowledge quickly selects variables to test

16 Health Care s New Approaches via Data Analysis Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research Pharmacogenetics data, cell signaling, clinical research, environmental studies 3 v s Volume of Data, Velocity of Processing Data, Variability of Data Sources

17 Big Data Must Suggest New Scientific Hypothesis

18 Altmetrics = Alternative Metrics Only 5 % of researchers familiar with Altmetrics

19 NISO - New Mechanisms Needed Traditional Metrics - Print Impact Factors not kept pace Online Reader Behavior and Network Interactions Citation Analysis not reflecting Social Networking

20 Altmetrics - UK Snowball Project Researchers, Publishers, Librarians Initiatives to incorporate metrics into workflow data Surveys to assess awareness and utility Academic/ Corporate Publishers uptake

21 Almetrics = New Definitions Outputs such as software, data sets or performance Research data, social impact and gaps in data collection Reproducibility of metrics across providers Academic and Corporate publishers providing new types of usage assessment tools to authors and subscribers

22 Article Usage Statistics Article Metrics show you how many people are reading and sharing a Science article online

23 H-Index: Google Scholar The H-index measures the impact based on the scientist s most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications

24 Open Access Befriends Quality Research Young researchers gravitate to OA Top scholars need to site work in OA journals Web-based publishing offers exciting and interative presentations of data SAGE journal OA journal data visualization

25 Open Access More Research to a Wider Audience

26 Financial Challenges - OA

27 Open Access: Science Advances Science Editorial, 19 February 2014

28 This is the start of something big!

29 2015 Science Advances Debut Open access, digital-only, peer review, rapid publication, wide readership Funder s mandates Life, physical, engineering, computer, environmental, mathematical, and social sciences Original transformative research

30 Game Changers = Scientific Progress Change is one thing, progress is another. "Change" is scientific, "progress" is ethical; change is indubitable, whereas progress is a matter of controversy. Bertand Russell Philosopher, Mathematician
