Notes From The Library, Issue No. 122

Abstract

[evdate 2022-11-01] Issue No. 122 November 2021 https://library.ust.hk/ ROM Symposium: A Series of Fruitful Online Discussions In last month's Research Data Management (RDM) Symposium, hundreds of HKUST researchers joined the online seminars to explore research data integrity, publishing and retractions, open science, and reproducible research. In four seminars, speakers brought different perspectives. In Seminar 1, Prof. Anirban Mukhopadhyay, our Associate Provost, talked about detecting research publishing misconduct from his experience as a journal's editor-in-chief. To complement his angle, Dr. Rebecca Grant from the publisher Fl 000 explored how publishers can support research integrity. Dr. Ivan Oransky, who co-founded Retraction Watch, told us the story of the Retraction Watch blog and the database in Seminar 2. With the retraction data, he showed us an overall picture of research misconduct which leads to retractions. In Seminar 3, Dr. Florian Markowetz of the University of Cambridge approached data management from a researcher-centered angle. He highlighted 5 "selfish reasons" for researchers to make their work reproducible. This theme was nicely echoed by Dr. Laurent Gatto, associate professor at the UCLouvain, Belgium, in Seminar 4; in which we also had a voice from a librarian, Dr. Marta Teperek, from TU Delft Library, the Netherlands. These two speakers conducted an interactive, conversational talk that emphasized how scientists can work towards more open and reproducible research, and how support staff in labs and libraries can support the journey. In addition to the guest speakers, we had HKUST professors to lead the discussion after the talks; they helped ground the conversation to our local context and interests. Prof. Jean Hong, Prof. Stuart Gietel- Research Data Management Symposium 2021 Basten, and Prof. King Chow contributed greatly to making these seminars an inspiring discussion and a fruitful learning. The RDM Symposium also included 2 sessions of a Data Management Plan workshop conducted by expert trainers from the Digital Curation Centre in the UK. Each session was well-attended by about 40 research students. The Library will mount the program recordings and/or presentation slides at https://lbcone.ust.hk/ sc-sem/. We believe the event has successfully raised HKUST researchers' awareness on the importance and benefits of managing research data. I Library Achievements 2020-21 Every summer, the Library has a staff retreat to take stock of the previous year and make plans for the future. This helps with accountability and sharing information among our staff, and helps us to prepare our annual report. But who reads an annual report? In order to share what has been done with HKUST students and staff, we also post some of our most significant achievements on a special page: Library Achievements https://library. ust. hk/ achievements/. Here are some of the highlights of 2020-21: • E-book Use Jumped 22% & E-Journal Use 17% • Library Instruction Attendees Topped 10,000 This year the attendance of Library instruction sessions reached a record breaking 10,052 over 296 sessions. All the sessions were in online mode. • 400 New Vibrant & Comfy Study Carrels Added The Library completed a Research Carrels Replacement Project: new carrels on LG3 were ready in spring 2021 and a few months later on LG4. 400+ new study carrels with a modern and vibrant design were in high demand for = __ - exams and the spring. ~ ~- • Self-Service Hygiene and Q --- s . ~T ecunty - .

This new generation comes with a beautiful interface along with some cool features compared to the old one: Search type: Conducts an "All" search to find substances, reactions, references, and suppliers that match your query in one go. Search history: SciFinder-n remembers all your searches. You can edit or rerun any of your previous queries. Sorting: Search results can now be sorted by Relevance which was not possible on the old platform. Citation map: Graphical representation that shows the citation relationships between one paper and other papers. Retrosynthesis planner: A computer-aided synthetic design tool that helps creating a full retrosynthesis plan including expected yields and reagent costs. Patent Pak: Fu ll-text patents associated with your search query are now accessible for download - from 46 global patent offices. Chemscape analysis: Visualizes the similarity and patent landscape for a set of substance resu lts. The location of the substance bar in the visualization corresponds to the similarity of the substance to the query, and the height of the substance in the visualization corresponds to the number of patents in which the substance has been published. 0 - Cl )( C Q Ii •<>f-•"-<>>.C<f,."-<>pt/l,._,ol-,y_oct•"5~~7t~•-lf....,,o...,,t._l>ll!>'••llm,l09lDlk>ouow......_,.,._.d•~a,nL * :tr. .;_ : CAS !? •- * i!>.2..CPCIPC0~ ,;, - I; ,-~· .

I Comfort Paws Program @Library University life can get truly stressful with a heavy load of ass ignments and exams. Research* has shown that therapy dogs have a positive effect on students' wellbeing, particularly reducing stress and anxiety. Given this impact, the Dean of Students' Office (DSTO) piloted its first therapy dog program in UG Residence Halls in 2019. The program brought together university students, trained therapy dogs, and handlers in an effort to reduce stress and combat homesickness. Students have been very supportive of the program.

I Library's 5th Withdrawn Book Sale Proves Popular Books flew out the door in the 2nd week of September during the Library's 5th Withdrawn Book Sale, when 83% of the almost 4,000 books were sold to members of the HKUST community. Held in the LG4 Multi-Function Room from September 14-16, the Library offered for sale a selection of old and long-unused, and duplicate copies in all subjects that had been withdrawn from the collection. In addition, old (but good condition) binders and magazine boxes were offered for free. The price (HKD 10 per book) was attractive and library staff are pleased that these books have been given a new lease on life, being taken home by HKUST students and staff. The funds from the sale will be used to acquire new library materials. I i;~XJt- ~M~Jtlf it~-t"i!-11£/& Blessings of Auspicious Treasures Celebrating the University's 30th Anniversary, the Library and MTPC will jointly present The Blessings of Auspicious Treasures: Oracle Bone Calligraphy Exhibition of Xie Chunling this fall.

You're Back! Library Occupancy The Library's data analytics platform really shows the explosive change in Library usage once the campus was able to return to face-to-face teaching. We track of a variety of physical and virtual usage metrics, including entry gate counts, WiFi connections and usage, and off-campus e-resource a_ccess. See our data dashboards for details: https:// library. ust. hk/ about-us/ statistics/ analytics/. Since the start of term, gate counts have jumped back up to well over 1 Ok per day, from l -3k earlier in the year and the 3pm headcount-a true measure of your library use - shows a similar massive change, even more than we had expected.
