The power of images

I originally created the Academic Library 2.0 Concept Model for a presentation because I was having trouble expressing the idea verbally. I hadn’t completely understood the explanatory power of diagrams until the great response I received both from my class and now here on the web. I am glad I took Systems Analysis. I got a solid background in how to display ideas through diagrams. They are definitely a great way to translate concepts between groups. I just noticed another post focusing on how the model can be used for explaining the concept.

I have found that the visual image of Web 2.0 – the extended mindcloud – has been a great visual starter at sessions I have run. ‘Participation’ and ‘Remix’ provide two good concepts to open up the discussion with people, before actually going into showing and discussing social software. I am also adding Michael’s Academic 2.0 concept model to my discussion pool.

Research Trends - Sparking debate
From article about SNIP - "Across a subject field as broad as scholarly communication, assessing journal impact by citations to a journal in a two-year time frame is obviously going to favor those subjects that cite heavily, and rapidly. Some fields, particularly those in the life sciences, tend to conform to this citation pattern better than others, leading to some widely recognized distortions."
Research Trends A question of prestige
From article: "Prestige measured by quantity of citations is one thing, but when it is based on the quality of those citations, you get a better sense of the real value of research to a community. Research Trends talks to Prof. Félix de Moya about SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), which ranks journals based on where their citations originate."
