The Role of Literature in the Research Workflow
Adapted from Laura Croft @ Nature
Case Study 2: A researcher wants her group to collaboratively develop a list of new articles for a monthly journal club to read.
Case Study 1: A researcher has a lot of papers they need to read. The researcher commutes and has a lot of free time on the train to read, but is stuck with print-outs or .pdf’s.
Case Study 3: A researcher needs to quickly make an annotated bibliography from a folder of .pdf’s.
Case Study 4: A researcher wants to use social media to satisfy his ‘Broader Impact’ requirements, but doesn’t have time to blog, use facebook, or tweet.
Case Study 5: A researcher wants to get credit for work that hasn’t been “published”, but which may still be useful to the scientific community.

Reproducibility InitiativeAddress the reproducibility of your research in a blind, fee-for-service validation
Validated studies receive a Certificate of Reproducibility acknowledging that their results have been independently reproduced.
figshare.comShare research components to make them discoverable & citable; get metrics
Altmetric(s)Capture overall impact of a publication in blogs, tweets, mentions, news, etc.
Crowd-Funding ScienceFunding science may no longer rely upon government. Interested people, engaged by social media presence, are key to raising money from the crowd.
