Rise and Shine: Tips and Tricks for New and Aspiring Managers

Moderator, Blanca Chou, Director, Information ResourceCenter, Otsuka Pharmaceutical

Are you a new manager or interested in climbing up to a managerial position? There’s a huge difference between the work
of an individual contributor and managing employees or information centers. Managing requires a different skill set. For
many new managers, that doesn’t come as easily as doing the work and they often feel overwhelmed. The good news:
Managing is a skill that can be learned. New managers Caren Torrey from Biogen and Eric Stubbs from Otsuka will talk about
their backgrounds, share stories, and offer tips for success, lessons learned, development opportunities, and more. Their experiences
will provide valuable real-world insight about what it’s like starting out in this role and guidance to help you achieve your potential or
leap confidently.

Update on RA21 Authentication Pilot Project

Helmi Fournier, Manager, Ontologies and Content Operations, AbbVie; Ralph Youngen, Director, Publishing Systems Integration, American

The primary objective of the RA21 initiative is to improve the user experience when accessing scholarly content by offering seamless authentication means that are not dependent on workflow or location. This session will explore the benefits offered by federated authentication that enhance security, permit customizations, and enable the collection of accurate usage analytics from both the library and publisher perspectives. The issues of accessibility, privacy, and security are addressed through multi-stakeholder pilot projects which will be showcased during the session. Feedback from user surveys and early recommendations emerging from the three pilot results will be shared. Results are being collected now and focus on guidance around the user experience as well as best practices for the security and privacy of user data. The final results of this project will be a set of best practice guidelines based on the real-world experienced developed through the pilots

KOL Identification - A Case Study Using Programmatic Access

Jeff Clovis, Global Head of Training, Clarivate Analytics

Companies like yours need to continuously identify and collaborate with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in your areas of focus. Published articles are a primary source used to identify KOLs. Citation analysis adds another dimension to publication analysis, whereby research impact can be gauged in addition to publication volume. Tools like the Web of Science and other search and discovery databases are used for KOL identification for all biomedical topics all over the globe. Pharmaceutical companies around the world need to stay current on the who’s who of cutting edge research, using metrics like an author’s total citations, average citations, h index, category normalized citation impact, percent of industry collaborations, and percent of highly cited and hot papers. There is an increasing need and interest in using programmatic data and APIs to perform such KOL identification. APIs enable companies to integrate author data directly into internal systems used for KOL identification and relationship management. Join us to learn how companies like yours are using this database programmatically to enhance their KOL workflows.

Bringing Insight to Data: Info Pros’ Role in Text- and Data-Mining

Mary Ellen Bates

Information professionals, knowledge workers and librarians have a long familiarity with large sets of information. What has changed is the development of sophisticated tools for text- and data-mining (TDM) of disparate data sets. Info pros can bring a unique perspective to TDM projects; we understand how information is used within our organizations, how and when our clients seek information, and how to make that information more discoverable and hence more valuable. We bring a creative mindset to every TDM project and a broad perspective of available data sources, tools and approaches. In this session, Mary Ellen Bates will offer insights into how info pros can raise their role in TDM projects within their organizations by better appreciation for what aspects of TDM most benefit from an info pro point of view and how info pros can best leverage their professional expertise in this new field.
