- ItemOpen AccessAcademics' online presence: Assessing and shaping your online visibility(2012-10) Goodier, SarahIn our digital world, if you use the web, you have an online presence. And academics are no exception. Universities have webpages profiling their staff. Academic networks, like LinkedIn, Academia.edu and more, are used by researchers around the globe to keep in contact with colleagues and collaborators. And social media are everywhere you turn. As an academic, you want your research outputs to be found and read. Making a difference and having an influence is almost a job requirement. Nowadays, the expectation is that you can be found online. So, what can you do to be aware of how you appear online? And, what can you do to increase your visibility? This will be a session for academics wishing to find out how they can review their existing digital footprints and shadows, make decisions about what kind of online presence they would like and plan how they can achieving it. Several different potential ways of increasing the visibility of themselves, their research and their outputs will be discussed.

- ItemOpen AccessAltmetrics and Emerging Measures of Impact(2012-11) Willmers, MichelleThe internet has transformed the way we seek and use information, enabling scholars to communicate research findings more rapidly, broadly and effectively than ever before. This evolution has placed scholarly communication at the centre of the research endeavor, raising challenging questions around how to optimally assess the impact of scholarship. This is particularly relevant as expressions of scholarship become more diverse. Traditionally published research articles are today increasingly accompanied by: The sharing of ‘raw science' like datasets, code, methodology and tools. Semantic publishing (or ‘nanopublication') where the citable unit is an argument or passage rather than an entire article. Widespread self-publishing via blogging, comments and annotation. This seminar will provide an introduction to the Altmetrics movement, which aims to expand our current view of what ‘impact' means and better understand what kinds of scholarship are making an impact. Exploring implications for both traditional and non-traditional outputs, it will introduce participants to new tools and approaches for impact analysis, and examine implications for traditional peer review and citation.

Open access emerges.

- ItemOpen AccessDemystifying Open Access(2012-10) Czerniewicz, LauraOpen access has received a great deal of coverage in the press and blogosphere of late with the recent policy announcements by bodies such as the European Commission, DFID and Research Councils UK that all research that they fund must be available open access in coming years. What does this mean? This presentation will address common myths about open access and answer questions including: What is the difference between the green route and the gold, and how do they each work? How is open access funded? Are open access journal articles peer reviewed and ISI listed? Is open access only about journal articles; what about other types of scholarly outputs? How does open access link to other forms of openness such as open education resources and open research? Does open access mean giving away your copyright? How does open licensing work? In essence the talk will explain the opportunities open access provides academics to improve the online visibility of their outputs.

- ItemOpen AccessThe details and construction processes of the Fallingwater House(2014-09-22) Sanya, TomThe information presented here is taken from teaching architectural technology in the 2nd Year of the UCT Bachelor of Architectural Studies programme in 2010. The underpinning idea is that architectural technology is part of this hierarchical framework: conceptualising (architectural concept)-structuring (structural system)-placement and layering (components)-detailing (connections). The details, processes and descriptions of the Fallingwater House presented here demonstrate that in this framework, architectural technology is seen to be inextricably interlinked to the entire building and its spatial-aesthetics.
