This document summarizes a presentation given by Antony Williams about helping chemists create an online presence using freely available resources over the past five years. Williams discusses the importance of claiming an ORCID ID to connect contributions such as research datasets, software, publications, and presentations. He demonstrates how to use tools like LinkedIn, Google Scholar Citations, ResearchGate, and Academia.edu to build an online profile, highlight projects, and track publications and citations. Williams encourages participants to share their work online to achieve a wider audience and impact, and recommends specific actions for developing an online presence.

6. Five Years, ~100 Talks
• Encouraging the “era of participation”
• Providing an overview of some tools available
• Sharing stories, statistics and strategies
• Encouraging “sharing for the sake of
community/science as well as for yourself”
• OUTCOMES
• Lots of people have claimed ORCiDs
• People have been building profiles and benefiting
• I HOPE they are now having an “Impact” online….

7. You can be evaluated based on
these contributions…
•Research datasets
•Scientific software
•Publications – peer-reviewed and many others
•Posters and presentations at conferences
•Electronic theses and dissertations
•Performances in film and audio
•Other forms of research
•CONNECT THEM to your ORCiD

8. ORCID – The Scientists SSN

9. ORCiD as an Online CV

10. The MOST BASIC Career Networking Tool

11. Can Also Function as an Electronic CV

12. Ability to Highlight Projects

13. Manage Articles Here Too…

14. Your Postings Get Networked
It’s All Networking,
Networking……..

15. Ask for “Endorsements”, or get them…

16. Presentations

17. Think about it…
• A presentation given to a small room of
people has a lifetime of “20-30 mins”. A
presentation shared online for all to see
lives a lot longer. An article shared in the
network has a much wider audience.

18. Sharing your works online

19. Slideshare – Highly Accessed

20. Slideshare – NOT Just Slides

21. Google Scholar Tracks Publications
and Citations
http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=O2L8nh4AAAAJ

22. ResearchGate for Networking and
Citation Tracking

23. ResearchGate

24. Academia.edu

25. Credit for Reviewing Papers?

26. Research Paper Amplification
• Kudos connects papers to social media platforms such as Twitter for
amplification

27. Explain

28. The Article…

29. Enriched…

30. What about “Data Sharing”?

31. Supplementary Data Access

32. Alt-Metrics Manifesto

37. What Next?
My Recommendations
• Register for an ORCID ID
• Enhance your LinkedIn profile
• Use Google Scholar Citations and curate
• Choose: ResearchGate or Academia.edu
• Use: Kudos and Publons
• Participate building your profile – share
data, papers, presentations, etc..
