PubMan and Imeji: Self-archiving platform for researchers' outreach activities
Shin‐ichi Todoroki · Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB) · 2011
My outreach activities based on NIMS eSciDoc system (PubMan \& Imeji) since Nov. 2008 is presented. Top two downloads during the past three years are postprints submitted for subscription-based peer-reviewed journals. The values of about 1500 must be the result of being accessed by readers beyond my specialty including researchers of social science. In addition, disclosure of research-related video clips on YouTube was effective in attracting non-specialists attention. In order to activate researchers' self-archiving activities, the system should provide them with attractive feedbacks and functions making their daily tasks easy including time-series analysis of download statistics and manuscript writing support.
