    Adventures in Bibliometrics: Research Impact and the CTSI
    (2016-10) Chew, Katherine; Bakker, Caitlin
    Objectives Bibliometrics, the application of quantitative analysis to publications, is of growing importance for institutions, departments, and research centers. This paper describes one library's collaboration with a Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) to employ evaluative bibliometrics to determine research impact. Methods The Libraries were approached by the CTSI Monitoring & Evaluation Team to engage in a process of identifying and implementing the most appropriate bibliometrics for evaluation purposes. This initiative leveraged the library's understanding of NIH's Public Access Compliance Monitor, Scopus, Web of Science, and research networking systems such as SciVal Experts and Pure. Using grant information, a strategy was developed to identify CTSA-funded publications and to calculate and represent effective measures of impact. Results For the first time the CTSI had the ability to benchmark supported publications against research publication productivity at the University, at other universities, across disciplines, against six other CTSA sites and track progress across the years of the CTSA grant. Conclusions The Libraries was able to contribute high quality, standardized metrics to evaluating the University CTSI’s impact in clinical translational and team science of their contributions to advancing health research that can make a difference to individual and population health. In addition, provide useful information for their recent grant applications where standardized bibliometric analytics will be very valuable in strengthening the proposals.

    Data Underlying "Is the open access citation advantage real? A systematic review of the citation of open access and subscription-based articles"
    (2021-06-03) Langham-Putrow, Allison; Bakker, Caitlin; Riegelman, Amy; cjbakker@umn.edu; Bakker, Caitlin
    This data underlies a systematic review project: "Is the Open Access Citation Advantage Real?" This project considers whether materials that are published open access receive a greater number of citations than materials published in subscription-based resources. The data here are extracted from 134 relevant studies. The data also include a risk of bias assessment that considers the methodological quality and flaws of the included studies.

    Data underlying (The relationship between methodological quality and the use of retracted publications in evidence syntheses)
    (2022-09-08) Bakker, Caitlin; Theis-Mahon, Nicole; Brown, Sarah Jane; theis025@umn.edu; Theis-Mahon, Nicole; University of Minnesota Libraries
    Data consists of two csv files for a set of 310 systematic reviews/evidence syntheses (methods of identification outlined in Brown et al.) Methodological quality of the systematic review/evidence synthesis was assessed using AMSTAR 2 criteria. Citation meaning was assessed using previous mapping of the Retraction Watch Database’s reason for retraction to a modified version of Bar Ilan and Halevi’s taxonomy of reasons for retraction.

    Ethical and Practical Considerations of Open Data Sharing when Conducting Research with Human Participants
    (2019-03) Bakker, Caitlin; Hunt, Shanda; Hofelich Mohr, Alicia
    The Libraries and LATIS will present on the conflicts that can arise when attempting to balance the protection of participant privacy with expectations for open data. Restrictive language in IRB protocols, consent forms, and participant agreements designed to protect privacy can limit researchers when sharing, storing, or archiving the resulting data. Ethically, what is the appropriate course of action

    Information Science Solutions to Communicating Public Health Research Findings to the Public
    (2018-05) Bakker, Caitlin; Hunt, Shanda
    We conducted a needs assessment of public health researchers November 2016 - January 2017. The aims of the study were to capture the evolving needs, opportunities, and challenges of public health researchers in the current environment and provide actionable recommendations. Participants (N=24) were recruited through convenience sampling and one-on-one interviews were audio recorded. Qualitative analyses were conducted using NVivo 11. The data revealed that researchers recognized the need to communicate the significance of public health research findings to the public, yet felt they lacked the skills and resources necessary. Many researchers questioned the value of making articles, research data, and other outputs openly available. They expressed their frustration in trying to make complex data sets and research findings easily digestible by broad audiences. Finally, they did not make the connection between their professional marketing activities and dissemination. Information professionals can assist public health researchers in modernizing and broadening their dissemination practices by considering alternative forums, such as repositories and open education resources, and by utilizing formats, such as data visualizations, that more effectively convey research findings. Libraries can also introduce researchers to plain language summaries of research outputs and ways in which social media is being used to communicate to the public. These strategies could advance public health communication to the public, practitioners, and policymakers, as well as contribute to open science.
