Tajuk-tajuk berita:

'Admin WhatsApp' boleh dipenjara -   BERITA HARIAN – 27/4/2017


“ADMIN KUMPULAN WHATSAPP” PERLU BENDUNG AHLI SEBAR FITNAH – BERITA HARIAN – 27/4/2017



Isu Penyebaran Maklumat atau Berita Palsu Melalui Aplikasi Pesanan

Menurut SKMM, perbualan pada aplikasi permesejan seperti WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, Viber dan sebagainya adalah bersifat persendirian. Siasatan hanya akan dilakukan sekiranya terdapat aduan mengenai apa yang dikongsikan atau disebarkan pada perbincangan kumpulan dalam aplikasi berkenaan.

Kesalahan ini tertakluk kepada kesalahan penyebaran maklumat palsu dibawah undang-undang Malaysia, termasuk seksyen 233 AKM 1998.

    Adalah menjadi kesalahan bagi seseorang untuk menggunakan perkhidmatan aplikasi seperti Whatsapp, untuk membuat dan memulakan penghantaran apa-apa komen, permintaan, cadangan atau komunikasi lain yang lucah, sumbang, palsu, mengancam atau jelik sifatnya dengan niat menyakitkan hati, menganiayai, mengugut atau mengganggu orang lain.

Secara tidak langsung, ini bermakna siapa sahaja yang bersalah menyebarkan maklumat palsu akan didakwa – dan bukannya khusus kepada pentadbir sesuatu kumpulan berkenaan sahaja.

Walaubagaimanapun, menurut SKMM, seseorang pentadbir akan dipertanggungjawabkan sekiranya:

  • Apabila pentadbir sendiri membuat komen, permintaan, cadangan atau komunikasi lain yang lucah, sumbang, palsu, mengancam atau jelik sifatnya dengan niat menyakitkan hati, menganiayai, mengugut atau mengganggu orang lain, yang merupakan kesalahan di bawah seksyen 233 AKM 1998;
  • Apabila pentadbir, walau pun dengan sendirinya tidak membuat komen tersebut, meminta komen sedemikian daripada yang lain;
  • Apabila pentadbir membantu, melalui hasutan, mana-mana orang lain dalam kumpulan untuk membuat komen tersebut;
  • Apabila pentadbir menghalang siasatan terhadap komen sedemikian oleh mana-mana agensi penguatkuasaan.

Seperti biasa SKMM menasihatkan pengguna menggunakan sebarang aplikasi permesejan atau media sosial secara berhemah, dan tidak menyebarkan sebarang maklumat palsu. Disamping itu, SKMM juga sedang mempertimbangkan keperluan menyediakan garis panduan untuk menggunakan aplikasi permesejan dan seumpama dengannya.

Academic social media : Which is better Academia.edu, Linkedln, Mendeley.com, Papers or ResearchGate?



What exactly are academic social media? Academic social media are social media networks aimed primarily at academics and researchers. In addition to the usual functions of social media – connecting and communicating with peers and sharing and discovering information – they also offer the ability to document and share your publications. As such they function as informal repositories for their members.

  • Academia.edu – Academia is the internationally recognized establishment of professional scholars and students, usually centered around colleges and universities, who are engaged in higher education and research.

  • LinkedIn – looks similar to other social networking sites, but is more carrier-oriented, you can put any publications there, and link them to either your homepage or arXiv or whatever, or don't link them at all, that's up to you.
  • Google Scholar CitationsGoogle Scholar Citations provide a simple way for authors to keep track of citations to their articles. You can check who is citing your publications, graph citations over time, and compute several citation metrics. You can also make your profile public, so that it may appear in Google Scholar results when people search for your name.
  • Mendeley is a desktop and web program for managing and sharing research papers,[1] discovering research data and collaborating online. It combines Mendeley Desktop, a PDF and reference management application (available for Windows, OS X and Linux) with Mendeley Web, an online social network for researchers
  • ResearchGate – I have no true experience with RG since it's not so popular amongst my colleagues. But it seems to me that you can both put the whole article there, or just put the reference there with the option that people can ask you to send them the paper. This is very nice since you need not to break any journal's policies to make it work.
It depends what you are looking for. 

If you are looking for a place to get distribution and recognition for your research, Academia.edu is the place for you. If you are looking for a place to organize papers that you have stored on your hard drive, Mendeley is the place for you.

ResearchGate and Academia.edu
The two best known academic social media are ResearchGate and Academia.edu. These two are also The Connected Leiden Researcher's focus for August. While both networks offer roughly the same features, the difference between them is one of emphasis. ResearchGate is more closely focused on collaboration and interaction, while Academia.edu often functions more as an academic version of LinkedIn, with an online CV a.k.a. a bibliography in the case of academics and as a place to share your publications. You can find a closer examination of both of these networks in the In Depth section.

In many ways Academia.edu and ResearchGate also function as a digital CV, listing research experience and different forms of publications, whether it pertains to academic papers or other forms of publications, such as conference papers or blogs. But if that's true, why would an academic bother setting up a LinkedIn profile?

Other networks
Of course there are more networks than just ResearchGate and Academia.edu. Most of these however are more narrowly focused, for example MyScienceWork seems to be more oriented towards the Sciences, Labroots for the Life Sciences, orBiomedExperts for the biomedical sciences. Connected Researchers offers an overview of different social networks for academics. 

What is their benefit?

Academic social media allow you to connect to other researchers in your field, share your publications and datasets, get feedback on your non-peer-reviewed work, and to stay current with news and events in your field of interest. It gives you another place to establish your name and research and perhaps even collaborate with others.

Academic social media and impact?

Academic social media tie into altmetrics mostly indirectly, through making your work more widely discoverable and, if you've uploaded a copy, more easily available. They also provide an additional source for impact data by tracking the number of views and downloads your uploaded papers get. ResearchGate has developed its own additional metric called the RG Score, which isn't just based on your contributions (papers, Q&A's, data sets, negative results), but also on your interaction with others on the site; this means that who looks at your research is as important as how many people look at your research. The RG Score and the other data aren't automatically incorporated in the altmetric aggregators such as altmetric.com and Plum Analytics.

Difference in audience

The answer would largely lie in the fact that academic social media networks have a different audience than LinkedIn. ResearchGate or Academia.edu are interesting to build a (collaborative) network of academic peers, while LinkedIn allows networking on a broader scale, also reaching out to the private sector and civil services. And of course it doesn't have to be either/or. In fact, these can most definitely be used as complementary profiles.

Profile, network, promote
If it were truly a contest between ResearchGate and Academia.edu versus LinkedIn, then it would end in a draw. All of them have their own focus and audience and if you want to reach a broad spectrum of people and have all your pertinent information easily available to peers, funders, and the public then having multiple profiles to network on would seem the surest course. And remember to let people know you are there, so they can find you!

Review of ResearchGate : Pros and cons and recommendations


About ResearchGate - Founded in 2008 by physicians Dr. Ijad Madisch and Dr. Sören Hofmayer, and computer scientist Horst Fickenscher  


ResearchGate is a networking site for researchers, particularly those engaged in broadly scientific research.

Let try whether it is worth using.  I did a little research and tested it myself https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ahmad_Faizar_Jaafar

Pros
ResearchGate is free to join and currently has about 3 million users mainly in the sciences.  It offers the following benefits to researchers:
  • Sharing publications
  • Connecting with colleagues
  • Seeking new collaborations
  • Obtaining statistics and metrics on use of uploaded publications
  • Asking questions of researchers around the world that have the same set of interests
  • Job seeking or recruitment

ResearchGate incorporates many elements of familiar social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn:
  • Creating profiles https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ahmad_Faizar_Jaafar
  • Liking and following researchers and their publications
  • Endorsing the skills of others
  • Ability to bookmark favourites
  • Ability to comment or send feedback
  • Ability to share news items and updates easily and quickly

ResearchGate links researchers around selected topics and specialisations – these can be chosen or edited at any time by members.  Members can track and follow the research publications of others in their field.

Members can upload copies of papers (either pre- or post-review) and the associated raw data.  All will be searchable.  Non-peer-reviewed material can be added only through manual file upload.

Researchers are encouraged not only to upload successful results but also those results from failed projects or experiments – the latter are stored in a separate but searchable area.

ResearchGate finds publications for members from a number of major databases, for example, PubMed, arXiv, IEEE, RePEC and CiteSeer enabling automatic creation of a publications list.  Lists can also be created or added to manually or importing from a reference management database such as EndNote.  


ResearchGate offers the ability to search and filter on a variety of topics: author, institution, journal, publication, and so on.
Members can request a copy of a paper from the author if it is not freely available.

Full text publications uploaded to ResearchGate are indexed by Google.
ResearchGate contains useful information about journals, such as impact factors, metrics and some details of open access policy – in this respect it is useful for bringing information together into one place.

Cons
ResearchGate claims to have 3 million users but it is not clear how many of these are active accounts that are maintained and updated regularly.

A high percentage of ResearchGate members are postgraduate and other students (may be a drawback for established researchers).

Some members have complained about unwanted email spamming.  To avoid receiving several emails a day, unwanted updates or followers, be sure to manage your Notifications and Privacy settings both of which can be accessed through Account Settings.

Many of the publications that are available through ResearchGate are actually uploaded illegally in terms of publisher open access policy.

Putting a copy of your paper on ResearchGate will not mean that you are compliant with funder policy.  On the contrary, you may be in breach of publisher policy. 


Recommendations
The more effort you put into maintaining and regularly updating your profile, the more you will get out of ResearchGate.


The extent to which ResearchGate will be useful to individual researchers depends on the researcher’s aims.  If the aim is to promote work then ResearchGate alone will probably not suffice.  Consider using ResearchGate in conjunction with other sites such as Academia.edu, Mendeley, Google Scholar or figshare.  Activity and membership varies from one site to another and from one discipline to another, so researchers will need to investigate for themselves in order to evaluate potential value.

What Are We Doing With Social Media?

Socialmedialandscape

What Are We Doing With Social Media? | From the Bell Tower

It's now been several years since academic libraries began dabbling in social media. Are we are any closer to strategically capitalizing on it to improve our relationships with students?

Steven Bell, Associate University Librarian, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA Jun 2, 2011 

The application of social media in higher education is in the news because of the attention being garnered by John Maeda, university president at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). It seems that Maeda, a tech savvy design expert, sought to have an open, transparent presidency driven by frequent blogs posts and tweets. Maeda played out the strategy well, taking advantage of blogging, Twitter, and YouTube to constantly share his thoughts with students and faculty. It didn't work out. In this case social media flopped. Maeda now acknowledges that his strategy conflicted with the culture of RISD.

"I ate the Jell-O, I drank the Kool-Aid. But now I realize that what I thought could work in the digital era doesn't have the same impact locally as it does globally," he said in an interview. "People don't want more messages; they want more interactions. There's no perfect memo where you can press send and get connected, or Facebook group you can join to be committed."

Librarians sip the Kool-Aid
Early on the academic library community became interested in social media. At first it was MySpace and Facebook, and we rushed to establish a presence in hopes that our students would eagerly seek our virtual friendship even if they were lukewarm to getting to know us personally.

By 2006, our literature began to reflect the movement, with Brian Mathews sharing his experienceat attempting to connect with a segment of students at this institution. Since then there are multiple studies aiming to answer questions related to the impact of social media in academic libraries orwhether students even want to have social media contact with librarians. Academic librarians have also explored YouTube as a vehicle for reaching students virtually, and while most are of questionable value, a very few have gone viral.

Since those early efforts to connect with students in social media, real breakthrough developments have yet to be seen. Yet we still keep plugging along with social media.

What are we up to now?
In more recent years our social media behavior is changing. Rather than simply establishing a presence and hoping students will notice, we're developing strategies for making the best use of our time in social networks. I've taken note of some academic libraries that have social media teams that plan out approaches for different media, recognizing they have unique qualities and that one strategy for all of them may not work.

At my library, a group has worked this spring to establish a more concrete social media plan, and they just recently issued guidelines for coordinating our strategies and establishing a core of social media journalists within the library.

Also, this blogger shared the results of his poll to learn more about libraries using incentives to encourage community members to interact with the library. For example, one academic library has a special gift for any student who becomes Mayor of the library. Another held a contest for the best tweet about the library. At LJ's recent Day of Dialog preceeding BEA, a panel of experts discussed what librarians need to do in order to truly engage their communities using social media. Just throwing tweets out willy nilly or randomly posting to Facebook and then dropping away is unlikely to result in a robust community in either forum. The panelists provided suggestions for creating more engaging content, but the overarching message is that getting results with social media depends on well planned strategic deployment.

Facebook rules
A new report sheds some light on the state of social media in higher education. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) produced a report titled Best Practices in Social Media. Nearly 1000 colleges and universities were asked how they use social media in order to better understand its use in marketing and the extent to which the tools are being used.

Among the findings, 96 percent used Facebook, 75 percent use Twitter, and 40 to 60 percent use YouTube, blogs, and Flicker. In a bit of a surprise, the main audience for social media is neither current nor prospective students but alumni. By a wide margin Facebook is most heavily favored, and it provides the best results.

One question asked respondents to rank the major barriers to an effective social media strategy. Number one was insufficient staff for managing the day-to-day media strategies. That's a problem for academic libraries as well. We have great ideas and strategies, but lack the necessary staff to make a social media librarian a more common fixture in academic libraries.

Lessons worth learning
Despite some of the uncertainties about where we are headed with social media we should continue to explore how it might be best used to promote the library, provide a student-preferred communication channel, and contribute to growing a loyal user base. Along the way, we may make some mistakes. When it comes to social media the landscape is littered is bad choices and serious misuse. In his Inside Higher Ed essay titled Beyond Tweets and Blogs, Kevin Tynan reflects on the problems of social media as a higher education marketing tool. He cautions institutions to move carefully with blogs and video, and to avoid worrying about keeping up with the latest trendy social media resource.

With all trends indicating that social media is spreading across all age demographics and becoming a regular part of our daily routines, we can ill afford to pass up opportunities to leverage these tools to connect with our communities. Increasingly, the library plays an important role in supporting social network use as well. In a recent presentation, The Networked Librarian, Lee Rainey shared the latest data and trends in social networking and libraries, and told the audience that "librarians are well adapted for supporting this." According to Rainey, when librarians engage in social media, through our blogs, videos, and tweets, we serve as content creators and this is going to be increasingly important to our work if we want to engage with all the other content creators out there.

For those of us not already doing so, it's time to start approaching social networking and the use of social media more strategically to connect its use to specific outcomes. The days of dabbling and experimenting should lead us to a new phase, one in which social media is used with intentional design to improve our libraries. But let us remember the lessons learned the hard way by Maeda. Stay focused on the culture of the community, and remember that people want more than messages—they want engagement and interaction.

Enhancing academic reputation with new social media

20110606-enhancingacademicreputationnewsocialmedia

Program : “Enhancing academic reputation with new social media”
Tarikh : 06 Jun 2011 (Isnin)
Masa : 10.00 pagi - 11.00 pagi
Tempat : Auditorium 2, iLQAM
Penceramah : Prof Casey Chan, Adjunct Professor at YLL School of Medicine & Faculty of Engineering, National University of Singapore

Learning objectives:

At the end of this workshop you should be able to:
·    Set up an academic blog focused on your research interest and public outreach
·    Learn how to use Twitter and Facebook to increase your post- publication publicity
·    Create discussion groups on Facebook
·    Use WizFolio to share references with your colleagues and the public
·    Use WizFolio to upload your publications to the Internet.

Synopsis:

Social media has expanded beyond personal connectivity into mainstream branding and customer outreach for all the major consumer brands. Its impact on political change is self-evident. Partly due to unfamiliarity and partly due to the association of social media with disrepute academics have been slow to embrace this medium.

In this talk, the role of social media in academic reputation will be discussed. For academics, social media is a new media is a new way to rapidly disseminate their research work and enhance their online presence. The use of the new media has to be carefully managed to avoid pitfalls.

In this workshop, tips will be given on how to utilize conventional social networking platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to integrate with the new generation of reference managers. In addition to discussions on CiteULike, Mendeley and Zotero, Prof Chan will demonstrate the use of Wizfolio to create an online presence by coupling with the new media. 

About the Speaker:

Casey Chan is an adjunct professor at the YLL School of Medicine and Faculty of Engineering at the National University of Singapore. He is active in teaching and research in both faculties, and regularly mentors the younger academic staff and graduate students on their career development. WizFolio, the journal reference management software he has developed, is widely used by undergraduate and graduate students for their final year projects and graduate theses. Prof Chan has led the effort to integrate WizFolio with resources from Scholarly Portal, a consortium of 21 university libraries in Canada.
