What is the title of your talk?

Research published over the last week

What is your talk about? (1 paragraph)

Please supply one paragraph describing your talk and how it relates to the theme of Engagement. (Please also declare any conflicts of interest. )

With thousands of research publications coming out each day, it is hard to keep or even get an overview. I will provide a guided tour around research from various fields that was published over the week prior to the session, highlighting (i) how to find such publications, (ii) what can be learned from them in such a short time span, (iii) how to engage with them and (iv) lessons that authors, readers, publishers and others involved in scholarly communication can draw from the experience. The talk will be given on the basis of https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/events/blob/master/FORCE-2018-research-published-last-week.md .

Anything else we should know?

This talk is closely related to the one at https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/events/blob/master/FORCE-2018-research-performed-last-week.md on research performed last week, and I would have strongly prefered the two to be scheduled back to back in the same room (either before a session covering scholarly communication more broadly, or before a break), but that other submission did not make it into the program.

Structure of the session

  • Why focus on "last week"?
  • Which definition of "last week"?
  • Research published over any week in the past
  • Research formally published over the last week
  • Research informally published over the last week
    • with notes on research performed last week

Here's the query for research published this week last year. Adapting it to this year is left as an exercise to the reader.

Browsing history

During the session, we made heavy use of online resources, and I tried to keep track of the main ones by leaving the respective browser tabs open. Those open tabs have now been incorporated in the notes here.
