“If I have got it, I will just share it. It is easier than having them go track it down, even if I have got the citation.”
“It’s not like I’m giving away something that they could not get anyhow. But it never dawned on me that in effect, you know in theory, I am violating copyright.”

My feeling is that I’ve written this, this is my work, they’re publishing it. I’m not getting paid for this, they’re benefiting from this. I’m a little fish . . . Let them come for me.
The main point should be that I share a version that is evidentially the peer-reviewed version (with the publisher and the journal stamp on it).

Understanding our users • Representation of objectives and behaviors of
real users • Fictional but synthesized from data collected
with surveys, focus groups, interviews • Focuses on users instead of focusing only on
tasks • Helps us understand human interactions with
systems

Senior Faculty: “Charles Todd”
o Sharing Behaviors
• Heavily favors informal sharing methods such as email and internal networks.
• Will use formal methods to share more than his peers who work independently of research groups.
• Makes use of a wider variety of sharing resources than researchers in non-academic settings.
• PhD in Social Sciences. • Over ten years as a
faculty member. • Most of his work is done
in a research group.
![Page 28: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“Charles Todd”
“When I share papers I do it with other colleagues that have access to the same databases as I have, it happens mainly in the following scenarios: I am doing literature search on a subject we are working as a group and find some papers that are interesting to my fellow colleagues working with me, I send them the pdf papers so they can also read them...”

Junior Faculty: “Leslie Bryant”
o Sharing Behaviors
• Reaches a large number of individuals through email or internal network.
• Relies on Research Social Networks such as ResearchGate or Academia.edu more than any other demographic.
• Rarely uses Reference or Learning Management Software to share. She is not likely to share with her students.
• PhD in Mathematics. • Less than ten years as a non-
tenured faculty member. • Most of her work is done
independently of a research group.
![Page 30: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
“Leslie Bryant”
“Pay gates to research content is frustrating when it isn't accessible via the university. The whole point of academic research is to share knowledge.”
![Page 31: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Doctoral Student: “Hikaru Midorikawa”
o Sharing Behaviors
• Sharing is limited almost entirely to email.
• Mostly unaware of Creative Commons and other copyright restrictions.
• When he does share, he can potentially reach a wide range of individuals with a small number of posts.
• PhD student in engineering. • Less than ten years as
adjunct faculty. • Most of his work is done in a
research group.
![Page 32: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Persona 4: “Hikaru Midorikawa”
“There is a lot of pressure to make research publically available, especially federally funded research, and also at the same time, not share full-text articles from the journals unless you order reprints from them directly. I want to honor both of these, but it is very difficult. There is much confusion on how to do this and the need to share research quickly, usually by email, ends up winning.’”
![Page 33: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Sharing is a natural behavior
• Sharing supports research & disseminating results
• Convenience is a key concern
• Sharing channels chosen for fit to
work style • New policies and measures must
fit preferences & likely behavior

Calculating sharing metrics: Possible approaches
Lorraine Estelle Director, Project Counter
Library Connect Webinar Dec. 3, 2015 How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services
![Page 35: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Range of Systems Key findings include: • Lack of global usage data standards makes quantifying sharing
problematic.
• Difficult to obtain data on authors’ sharing via email and cloud services.
• Data obtained is likely to be out of date rather quickly.
![Page 36: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Center for Information and Communication Studies
Two suggested approaches
1. Data-based approach employing usage data from publishers and citation data – where such data is comprehensive and reliable.
2. Survey-based approach using an online community as a basis for monitoring sharing behavior over time.
![Page 37: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Center for Information and Communication Studies
A data-based approach to measuring the extent of scholarly materials sharing
1. Data on article sharing by formal and informal methods will be difficult to collect reliably owing to the large number of channels used and the lack of global standards
2. The mix of sharing methods used varies from discipline to discipline and from year to year
3. It would make sense to supplement a data-based approach to measuring post-download usage with regular surveys of the scholarly community
![Page 38: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Full-Text Sharing Calculator • Can a calculator be derived from the
findings? • If not, can a suggested range of
“sharing” be derived from the findings?
Problems: • Ranges and SE
are high • Outliers skew
results • Demographics
matter a lot
![Page 39: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Center for Information and Communication Studies
A range of sharing, in lieu of a calculator, may be the answer. This range can come in the form of an overall range (derived from all respondents) or categorized ranges (derived from selected identifying categories).
![Page 40: How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services | December … · 2016-02-17 · How researchers share articles: impact on library resources and services](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070800/5f0246827e708231d4037469/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Demographics sometimes matter…
• Researchers age 39 and younger share less through formal methods
• Researchers age 40-59 rely more on formal sharing methods and post slightly less, but to outlets that reach more people

Alternatives • Any estimate on number of times an article is shared per
download depends on many things.
• An alternative to an exact calculator would be to apply a Confidence Interval to the findings and provide an estimated “range of sharing,” with a lower bound and upper at a 95% level of confidence.
• This range could in turn be combined with download
numbers to estimate a level of actual, post-download usage.

• SCNs are platforms that allow researchers to develop and maintain professional relationships
• Typically they enable
- Discussion or research and information exchange - Sharing of research results, articles and data
• SCNs have grown substantially* in recent years, particularly in the “big”
three – Academia.edu, ResearchGate, and Mendeley
• STM working group identified 40+ such networks
*CCC/CLA Report on Scholarly Collaboration Platforms, M. Ware, November 27,2014 (CCC/Outsell)
Social Collaboration Networks (SCNs)

STM assembled a working group in September 2014 to examine the current landscape of article sharing via SCNs and publishers’ role
Ten publishers, both for profit and not-for-profit, and some of whom owned or interacted with SCNs, took part
They produced the draft set of “voluntary principles for article sharing on scholarly collaboration networks” and posted it for a two-month STM Open Consultation in early 2015, and invited wide participation among all stakeholder groups
STM Consultation on Article Sharing

The principles are meant to: • clarify how, where and what content should be shared using
these networks and sites
• improve the experience for all stakeholders
• encourage publishers and SCNs to work together to facilitate sharing, which benefits researchers, institutions and society as a whole
• All comments and a summary posted on the STM website • Key recommendation: Principles should be clear, simple, uniform
Voluntary Principles for Article Sharing on SCNs

• Publishers commit to facilitate the dissemination and discovery of their authors’ scholarly articles.
• Sharing should be allowed within a research collaboration group (to be defined by the group) - Allow article sharing between subscribers and non-subscribers
within the group - Include members of the wider public participating with the group - Include commercial researchers, subject to publisher policy or
appropriate licensing • Publishers and libraries should extend their collective use of standards
such as COUNTER to quantify article use on networks.
• Publishers and standards organizations should continue to work together on tools that facilitate sharing (article versioning and access rights metadata).
• Publisher policies on research collaboration group sharing and public posting of articles should be clear and easily discoverable.

Publisher posting policy - Several publishers (e.g., NPG, Wiley, Elsevier) have issued policies that address posting via SCNs
Article tagging project - To support implementation a sub-working group is tasked with demonstrating a technical solution based on tagging xmp metadata in scholarly articles
The SCN working group continues to reach out for wider involvement, including non-publisher-owned networks
