Item Measuring Impact With Altmetrics: Is There One Tool To Rule Them All?(2018-10) Bakker, Caitlin; Chew, Katherine; McBurney, Jenny; Reed, Del; Aho, MelissaItem Something to Smile About: Librarian Support for Evidence-Based Dentistry(2018) Theis-Mahon, Nicole R; Bakker, Caitlin JPurpose: This poster examines the impact of librarian-led faculty development in research methods as a component of the Dental Education (CDE) Certificate Program in Contemporary Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry level III course. Setting/Participants/Resources: The Certificate Program in Contemporary Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry is a three-part CDE course for dental practitioners who are interested in increasing their knowledge of esthetic dentistry. The third level of this series involves conducting research and writing a paper on a topic in restorative or esthetic dentistry. Description: Librarians have been invited instructors in this course and presented on searching the literature and finding evidence since 2013. In 2018, the role of librarians expanded to instructing about the publication process and understanding the structure and design of a research paper. The librarians developed and delivered a course on how to write and critically appraise a research paper for dental practitioners who were new to research. Outcomes: This poster outlines the opportunities for librarians to engage with new researchers about the research process and how to write a research paper. It presents ideas for engaging with practitioners who are new to research. Evaluation: Feedback from former participants has referred to the program as “a turning point for me professionally” and noted that “it got me outside of my comfort zone.”Item How Data and Publishing Intersect for Public Health Researchers(2018-03-22) Hunt, Shanda L; Bakker, Caitlin JWe 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), whose interests ranged from statistics to social sciences, were recruited through convenience sampling, and qualitative analyses were conducted using NVivo 11 Pro. Six themes emerged - two focused on data management and publishing. Overall, data management was an afterthought for participants; most named at least one aspect that was significant to them, but they did not grasp the breadth of data management or its long-term importance. This lead to frustration with data sharing mandates, as they were unprepared when it came time to submit the data to a repository. Participants also had a preference for publishing articles via traditional methods; simultaneously, they placed a high value on disseminating their research findings beyond articles and did so via multiple avenues, including presentations, webinars, white papers, stakeholder reports, and code sharing. They expressed interest in new ways of disseminating their work which included data sharing, social media, and data visualizations. This presentation will detail the intersection of these findings and outline strategies to mitigate challenges and support researchers in their dissemination of research data in the publication process.Item Bibliographic records of retracted publications in the mental health literature(2017-12-27) Bakker, Caitlin J; Riegelman, Amy; cjbakker@umn.edu; Bakker, Caitlin JOur data is comprised of one CSV file in which we record observations of 144 previously retracted articles. These articles were identified through the Retraction Watch database. We conducted searches across seven bibliographic databases (publisher sites, MEDLINE via Ovid, PsycINFO via Ovid, EBSCO databases, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed) to determine how the retracted status of these publications was represented.Item An Information Science Needs Assessment of School of Public Health Researchers at the University of Minnesota: Summary Report(2017-08-04) Hunt, Shanda L; Bakker, Caitlin JItem QuARCC: The Quality Assurance Research Reproducibility Collaborative(2017) Hegstad-Davies, Rebecca L; Sayre, Franklin D; Laube, Katrina; Bakker, Caitlin; Shimizu, YItem Big Splashes & Ripple Effects: Research Impact Services Across University Libraries(2017-06) Bakker, Caitlin J.; McBurney, JennyItem Where in Academia are ELNs? Support for Electronic Lab Notebooks at Top American Research Universities(2017-03) Sayre, Franklin D; Bakker, Caitlin J.; Johnston, Lisa R; Kocher, Megan; Lafferty, Meghan; Kelly, Julia A.Item Evaluative Bibliometrics Meet the CTSI(2016-05) Bakker, Caitlin J.; Chew, KatherineItem Responding to Data Management and Sharing Requirements in the Health Sciences(2016-05) Bakker, Caitlin J.Item Exploring Disciplinary Differences in Data Management Practices(2015) Bakker, Caitlin J.; Farrell, Shannon; Neeser, AmyOur poster will compare and contrast the differences in requirements and practice of data management plans in the broad disciplinary fields of life sciences and health sciences. We will discuss the similarities and differences in both the researchers’ attitudes and approaches to data management plans, the potential barriers to adoption, and practical strategies for librarians to address these potential needs and obstacles. Further, we will consider differences in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) data management requirements and how they impact researchers, including faculty members, post-docs, students, and staff. The libraries at our large, research university are in the process of collecting information about researchers’ data management needs in a variety of disciplines. Further, we are reviewing researchers’ submitted data management plans in order to examine trends and potential opportunities for service development. We are examining the broad differences both between and within disciplines, in order to better equip both researchers and library staff to develop better data management practices. To that end, we are currently developing more robust training for both researchers and library staff in order to address identified areas of need and create a culture shift where data management becomes an integrated part of researchers’ work flow.
