本文旨在指出学术图书馆员的新角色和责任，并有可能更好地将图书馆融入研究过程。为了找出如何提高教师个人及其附属机构的在线声誉和可追溯性，作者与美国和欧洲的研究人员并肩工作，探索，创建，修改和消除各种软件应用程序中的学术档案。为了理解和组织学术社交媒体，包括新的替代指标，作者回顾并分类了主要的学术概况平台，突出了每个平台固有的重叠元素，优点和缺点。人们的共识是，考虑到大量的潜在问题，在所有这些平台上保持个人资料的最新和准确将是耗时的，这也在本文中详细讨论。然而，它是一个惊人的发现，不愿参与学术社交媒体可能会导致研究人员的学术成就的歪曲，并可能带来不可预见的后果。作者声称，目前的技能和能力可以确保学术图书馆员在研究工作流程中发挥重要作用，通过监测和导航学术社交媒体中的研究人员资料，以最好地代表其主办机构的学术。
This article aims to point out emerging roles and responsibilities for academic librarians with the potential of better integrating the library in the research process. In order to find out how to enhance the online reputation and discoverability of individual faculty members as well as their affiliated institutions, the authors worked side-by-side with researchers in the United States and Europe to explore, create, revise, and disambiguate scholarly profiles in various software applications. In an attempt to understand and organize scholarly social media, including new, alternative metrics, the authors reviewed and classified the major academic profile platforms, highlighting the overlapping elements, benefits, and drawbacks inherent in each. The consensus is that it would be time-consuming to keep one’s profile current and accurate on all of these platforms, given the plethora of underlying problems, also discussed in detail in the article. However, it came as a startling discovery that reluctance to engage with scholarly social media may cause a misrepresentation of a researcher’s academic achievements and may come with unforeseen consequences. The authors claim that current skills and competencies can secure an essential role for academic librarians in the research workflow by means of monitoring and navigating researcher profiles in scholarly social media in order to best represent the scholarship of their host institutions.
