“…This situation can present a quandary for practising librarians with faculty status seeking promotion and tenure, since they are advised to publish in the top journals in the category (Best and Kneip 2010). This aspect perhaps reinforces the academic-practitioner gap detected in LIS (Ardanuy and Urbano 2019) and the need to publish in fields outside LIS, and puts additional pressure on academic librarians to collaborate with scholars (Borrego et al 2018).…”

The interdisciplinary nature of library and information science (LIS) research has been highlighted for some time now. The term "interdisciplinary" is used primarily in the LIS literature as a general concept with different meanings that refer either to the coexistence of researchers from different scientific fields or to cross-disciplinary collaboration expressed in the form of coauthorship. This study analyses the disciplinary profile of LIS researchers with a view to ascertaining the actual level of cross-disciplinary collaboration and identifying all fields involved. Because of the complexity of identifying accurate affiliations at knowledge area level, the study was limited to authors from France, Germany, Spain and the UK. This analysis of authorship affiliation was performed based on research published in LIS serial titles indexed in Scopus during the 2010-2017 period. A rigorous and laborious process of identifying author affiliations was carried out. This involved checking the authorship of each paper and complementing this with information from websites, scientific social networks and other research endeavours whenever ambiguous situations arose. We observed that LIS departments produce barely a third of the research published in serial titles in the LIS subject category. Cross-disciplinary collaboration among all of the scientific fields involved is low, and even lower in LIS than in other fields. The low level of cross-disciplinary collaboration in LIS contradicts the interdisciplinary nature of LIS highlighted in the literature.

“…Kolaborasi merupakan aktivitas berbagi ketrampilan, pengetahuan, dan pengalaman seseorang kepada orang lain yang bertujuan untuk membangun komunikasi dan kerjasama. Melalui kolaborasi, pustakawan dapat meningkatkan pondasi keilmiahan ilmu perpustakaan dan informasi, melahirkan pengetahuan baru, dan memberikan kontribusi pada pengembangan profesi pustakawan di masa mendatang (Borrego, Ardanuy, & Urbano (2018). Dalam kolaborasi di kegiatan penelitian, ada beberapa tahapan yang perlu dilakukan oleh pustakawan, diantaranya: (1) penemuan gagasan-pencarian literatur, penulisan tinjauan pustaka, mengembangkan koleksi, memberikan pelatihan penelitian, meningkatkan literasi informasi; (2) pendanaan/ persetujuan-mendukung informasi pengajuan hibah dan pendanaan; (3) eksperimentasi-kurasi data, manajemen data, metadata; dan (4) diseminasi-repositori kelembagaan, akses terbuka, bibliometrik, penilaian penelitian, dukungan untuk publikasi.…”

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: (1) platform Dataverse dan RIN; (2) pengelolaan data penelitian dengan Dataverse RIN; (3) pemanfaatan data penelitian dengan Dataverse RIN; dan (4) tantangan pustakawan dalam manajemen data penelitian. Jenis data kajian ini bersifat deskriptif – kualitatif dengan sumber data studi dokumen/literatur dan simulasi melalui Dataverse RIN. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Dataverse merupakan platform database RIN yang bersifat open source dan dapat digunakan untuk efektivitas pengelolaan, penyimpanan, dan berbagi data penelitian; (2) pengelolaan data penelitian dengan Dataverse RIN dapat mengadopsi konsep RDM UK Data Service; (3) Data penelitian di Dataverse RIN dapat dimanfaatkan untuk pengembangan iptek dan peningkatan kualitas data penelitian berikutnya; dan (4) Pustakawan sebagai pengelola data dan depositor di Dataverse RIN perlu belajar lebih banyak tentang konsep penerapan pengelolaan data penelitian berdasarkan karakteristik lembaga dan harus siap menghadapi tantangan sebagai ‘pustakawan data’. Rekomendasi kajian ini yaitu: (1) perlunya peningkatan kompetensi pustakawan sebagai pengelolaan data penelitian; dan (2) keaktifan pustakawan dalam penyusunan kebijakan pengelolaan data penelitian dan berkolaborasi dalam kegiatan penelitian lembaga.

“…The peculiarity of university LIS researchers should be emphasized. In addition to conducting research focused only on the library activities, there is a need to conduct research in various disciplines relevant to their institutions (Borrego, Ardanuy, & Urbano, 2018;Kolesnykova, Matveyeva, Manashkin, & Mìshchenko, 2019;Lazarev, 2019;Dash, Sahoo, & Mohanty, 2015). At the same time, scientific cooperation among lecturers and scientists, yielding the co-authorship of scientific results, is one of the possible ways to demonstrate the correspondence of a library to the institution's mission.…”

Objective. This study aims 1) to acquire new information on alternative conference formats, including in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS), which have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on physical communication; 2) to clarify the role of such a communication channel as Conference proceedings within the scientific ecosystem, as well as the concepts "proceedings paper" and "conference paper". Methods. Examining the new conference formats and special features of the Conference proceedings involved the content from the web-sites of international conferences in the field of LIS and related sciences, the analysis of subject-specific papers and data from the bibliographic and abstract databases such as Scopus and the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS). Results. It has been proven that over the year 2020 the online and hybrid events have become an alternative format of physical conferences. It has been confirmed that the Conference proceedings from the influential international conferences refer to the types of publications categorized as "high-quality papers". The peculiarity of LIS university researchers is that, in addition to studying problems focused only on the library activities, there is a need to conduct research into various subjects that are major for their institutions. Conference proceedings can be published as a book (a series of books), in a journal, or as a serial publication. Papers from them may be indexed by WoS (as "proceedings paper") and/or by Scopus (as "conference paper"); however, the impact factors of the publications themselves are not available in these databases. Conclusions. In the year 2020, the new pandemic reality, representing a circumstance of irresistible force, stimulated the flourishing of creative and technological solutions for online conferences. For international conferences, it is mandatory to publish the materials presented by their participants. Proceedings paper (conference paper) in journals are similar to standard journal articles in their structure but they have a less rigorous review process, they are published faster at a lower scientific impact (citation level).
