Greetings from the Office of Research
|
| |
We hope your summer is going well and that you are having a restful time. Based on interactions with our office, it is clear that many of you are working on your Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (RSCA). Please know that the Office of Research is always here to help you complete your RSCA goals and that as the summer winds down, now might be the perfect time to schedule out your plans for the fall and spring.
As we prepare for a new academic year, the Office of Research is planning new efforts to engage faculty and spur interdisciplinary collaborations. Look for specifics about our Research Café series in the August newsletter, as well as information about the calendar for internal grant initiatives and Research Development workshops.

Associate Vice President for Research

Summer
Grant Getting Workshop — Managing Your Scholarly Identity and Using Pivot
|
| |
The summer is a great time to be sure you know how to use SJSU’s "go to tool" for finding funding — Pivot. Please join us for our one workshop of the summer, Managing Scholarly Identity and Using Pivot, tomorrow, July 19 from 10:30 A.M. - Noon.
In this virtual workshop, you will learn how Pivot can be used to locate funding opportunities to support your research, scholarship, and creative activity, and the “next steps” once you find a funding opportunity. The workshop will also cover how to search for potential collaborations with colleagues, how to create a researcher profile, and the benefits of managing your online scholarly identity, specifically with a unique researcher ID called ORCID.
Ahead of this workshop, we recommend that attendees, (1) register for an ORCID iD if they do not already have one, and (2) sign up for a PIVOT account.

NSF SBE Program Officer to Visit SJSU in August — Save the Date!
|
| |
 Dr. Enrique Pumar, National Science Foundation (NSF) program officer from the Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) is coming to SJSU on August 10 or 11 (Exact date —TBD). Dr. Pumar plans to spend the entire day at SJSU. During his visit, he hopes to demystify NSF, and motivate all faculty working in areas funded by SBE to apply for agency funding. He specifically hopes to encourage researchers to apply to SBE’s Build and Broaden program. Other minority serving institutions will be invited to join the August meeting. Time will be set aside to address SJSU faculty questions. Exact meeting date, time, and location will be sent in a later notification.

CSU STEM-NET Collaboration Potential
|
| |
The
CSU STEM-NET program is looking to identify faculty from SJSU interested in developing collaborative proposals in STEM (research grants, education grants, development, etc.) over the next 6-9 months. STEM-NET has been involved in over 32 collaborative proposals in the past two years, half of which were funded. These collaborations are an excellent opportunity to help grow interdisciplinary research and identify collaborators from across the CSU (and beyond). Please email Matt Leineweber (
matthew.leineweber@sjsu.edu) with your interest and questions.

Looking for Ways to Increase Your Scholarly Web-Based Presence?
Consider the following recommendations:
First, create your
SJSU ScholarWorks profile.
SJSU ScholarWorks is SJSU’s institutional repository designed to make your research and creative works available for the world to discover and use. SJSU ScholarWorks contains a broad range of scholarship, creative work, archival collections, and more. Each year, users from more than 200 countries download over 1.4 million items from SJSU ScholarWorks.
Second, showcase your academic publications on the web and increase your “googleability” by claiming your
Google Scholar profile. Choose to make it public and track who is citing your articles. Google Scholar will calculate your h-index and i10-index. The h-index is calculated by counting the number of author publications that have been cited by other authors by at least that same number of times. The i10-index is used only by Google Scholar and reports the number of publications that have been cited a minimum of 10 times.

Export Control Alert
On June 9, 2022 the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) amended the Cuban Assets Control Regulations. If you will be visiting Cuba for a conference, RSCA activities, or educational travel, please contact the
Research Compliance Unit right away.
Authorship — Who, Where, How Many?
While disputes over authorship do not meet the
federal definition of research misconduct, they can still be emotionally distressing and damage relationships between colleagues. Here are a few things to consider that may prove helpful as you navigate the questions around authorship.
- Several professional organizations have created tools to determine whether an individual’s contribution merits authorship. You can find a comprehensive list of these resources on the Research Compliance website.
