    De binnenkant van organisatieverandering – Thijs Homan from Hans Mestrum on Vimeo.

    vimeo.com/8725116
    Hij stelt daarbij vragen die je direct kan relateren aan je eigen verander- of innovatie-case.

    Homan betoogt dat de focus van veranderingen meestal gericht is op de structuur, de processen en de systemen, terwijl er niet stil wordt gestaan bij wat werkelijk bepalende is bij de verandering.
    Deze lezing gaat vooral over een derde aspect, naast doel en instrument, namelijk het “off-stage behavior” van de medewerkers. Homan noemt dat de “betekenis wolken” die werkelijk aangeven wat de medewerkers ervan denken.
    Verandering vindt volgens hem alleen plaats in het spontane domein en dus niet in ‘een bedachte wereld’. De ‘betekenis wolken’ zijn niet te beïnvloeden door lineaire verandering op basis van een plan, terwijl ze essentieel zijn voor het veranderingsproces. Zijn oplossing: “Er zijn in de ‘betekenis bewolking’ ook altijd kleine wolkjes die een andere mening hebben en hoe kan je die verder onwikkelen of laten groeien?”.

  • New ways for online Academic Peer Review

    “What we’re experiencing now is the most important transformation in our reading and writing tools since the invention of movable type,” said Katherine Rowe, a Renaissance specialist and media historian at Bryn Mawr College. “The way scholarly exchange is moving is radical, and we need to think about what it means for our fields.”

    For professors, publishing in elite journals is an unavoidable part of university life. The grueling process of subjecting work to the up-or-down judgment of credentialed scholarly peers has been a cornerstone of academic culture since at least the mid-20th century.

  • Trends in Science 2.0

    Trends in Science 2.0

    Onderstaand artikel gaat over de trends in Science 2.0

    Link: http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2961/2573

    Met dank aan: Wilfred Mijnhardt

    Samenvatting:

    • Iedereen is auteur en schrijft blogs en tweets (microblog): artikelen met workflow “werk, schrijf, publiceer” daalt. (publish-then-filter approach)
    • Meer gefragmenteerde wetenschappelijke output met ‘draft’ status
    • Open peer review/discussies van deze wetenschappelijke fragmenten (“Liquid science”)
    • Hiervoor moeten alle wetenschappelijke fragmenten publiekelijk toegankelijk zijn
    • Alle wetenschappelijke fragmenten worden relationeel met elkaar verbonden, ook de discussies en commentaren zijn waardevol in het wetenschappelijke kenniscreatie proces.
    • Wetenschap wordt vergeleken met de “cultural goods market”; wetenschappelijke output met muziek in de entertainment industrie. Wetenschap gaat dezelfde trend door als de entertainement industrie die zich kenmerkt door i) uncertain demand; (ii) short period of profitability; (iii) infinite variety of supply; and, (iv) vertical differentiation of markets.
      • Zoals in de creatieve industrie regelen wetenschappelijke communities de distributie en peer review van de wetenschappelijke fragmenten zelf.
      • De rol van uitgevers als “quality control gatekeeper” wordt op de proefgesteld. Zij moeten het gaan hebben van peer-review services.
    • Information overload en reputation management: “trusted filter services” zorgen ervoor dat de juiste persoon de juiste schifting in informatie krijgt aangereikt.  Referenties en links naar deze wetenschappelijke fragmenten vormen het nieuwe reputatie model.
    • Reputatie managment wordt het allerbelangrijkste in thet wetenschappelijke communicatie proces. Hiervoor is het van belang dat er zeer betrouwbare reputatie management systemen komen, die open en transparant te werk gaan. (MV: Google is niet open genoeg?) (MV: een betrouwbare Digital Author Identifier is van belang) (MV: horen usage statistics ook bij deze reputatie?)
    • Nieuw wetenschappelijk beleid is noodzakelijk om het nieuwe reputatie model niet de overhand te laten krijgen, waar in die lijn, met resources/budgeten gestuurd wordt richting instellingen en individuen met de meeste reputatie. Het niewue beleid moet ervoor zorgen dat “second-tier science” (MV: HBO?) een kans krijgen de wetenschappelijke kennis door te laten vloeien in de rest van de maatschappij.

  • OR2010 – Dspace 1.6 – Usage statistics

    This slideshow could not be started. Try refreshing the page or viewing it in another browser.

    @mire has build a GUI for statistics on Dspace at the administrator side.

    User requirments: a survey has been held. Repository managers would like to see the popularity of items, collectiions or communities.

    Technology: They use Apache Solr (fork of Lucene) for indexing and fast search and faceted browsing.

    Advantages: statistics are context aware. This means the items are aware of the D-space hierarchy, group items, bitstream and pageviews

    Visualize: using the SOLR faceted search, the popular items, collections and communities can be easily shown in matter of milliseconds. This can be represented in charts, and data tables.

    Reporting: Also an reporting function is available where the administrator can create reports with the facets they like by the press of a button. This can be exported in different wordprocessing formats and dataformats.

    thoughts and possibilities

    Within Knowledge Exchange “Usage Statistics” strand the country initiatives PIRUS (UK), OAstatistik (DE) and SURE (NL) are working together to create Guidelines to facilitate the exchange of Usage Statistics. These statistics come from distributed repositories and will be stored in a central database. This database will provide an API where the statistics data can be used in GUI services.

    OpenAIRE is creating a GUI with the datavisualisation API’s from Google. (Like we have seen in the presentation about Usage statistics and Google Analytics) However, according to Ben Bosman it is very risky to rely on third party visualisations you cannot control. API specifications can change and the visual design can change.

    I was thinking about using the GUI from @mire. In theory it could work, becouse their internal format for storing usage events look very similar to the OpenURL Context Objects. However Ben was very reserved when this idea was postulated. He told me that their GUI is tightly integrated with the Dspace  framework. The eye-candy of their module is great, but it is not OpenSource. This might not be a deadend. We could discover some posibilities.

    What is needed to create a GUI with either OpenAIRE or @mire

    1. User requirements study: what type of person/role needs what type of information.
    2. @mire GUI: A repository tab in the administrator GUI
    3. @mire GUI: the xml format they are using for usage events needs to be mapped to the KE format for OpenURL Context Objects. It is quite similar so an XSL might do the trick.

    Tip for the people who are implementing OAI-PMH statistics services on repositories. (Dspace, Fedora, eprint)

    If you want transmit the Geo location of countries or Cities with the OpenURL Context Objects before scrambling the ip-address, you can use GeoLite. A free version of the mapping of ip-addresses to countries and cities. An API implementation can be used.

  • Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action

    Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question “Why?” His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers … (Filmed at TEDxPugetSound.)

    In 2009, Simon Sinek released the book “Start With Why” — a synopsis of the theory he has begun using to teach others how to become effective leaders and inspire change.
