With a new, modern library on the horizon, the Health Sciences Library is interested in hearing from you.

Our goal is to support the needs of our users in the years ahead. To aid in our planning, we are seeking input from MU students, faculty and staff. Survey participants will be asked to rank what they value most in their library.

Take our short survey here.

The survey shouldn’t take longer than 5 minutes. Thank you for your time and input.

New episodes drop every Tuesday

Increase your Research Impact: Preprints, Postprints, and Conference Posters

By Taira Meadowcroft Posted in J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library Resources and Services

Posted on August 27, 2022September 22, 2022

As a researcher, there’s a lot of work you do that doesn’t get the traditional treatment aka doesn’t get published. This doesn’t mean that this knowledge isn’t less valuable, it means it hasn’t been through the peer review process. Traditional publishing is standard, but it does take time to get your work published and for someone else to cite your research and get published themselves. Citations can help you measure your research impact, but they aren’t the only way. With the creation of online repositories, you have tools available to place your research online outside of the traditional publishing realm.

When you submit your preprints, postprints, conference poster, etc., you make your research more discoverable, therefore increasing the chances that others view your work. According to impactstory.org, scientists report getting citations for preprints in articles that are published before their articles are, and citing others ahead of their article’s formal publication. This also helps accelerate science and discovery allowing others to build upon your work more quickly.

At Mizzou Libraries, you have access to MOSpace which is a freely available online repository for scholarship and other works by University of Missouri faculty, students, and staff. You retain your copyright, and we provide access. Once items are submitted, the platform can provide statistics like number of downloads and which countries those downloads come from. Materials freely available on the web often reach a wider audience than those available in high-cost journals.

For example, a postprint of the following article was added to MOspace in 2018.

Fisher, P. J., & Yao, R. (2017). Gender differences in financial risk tolerance. Journal of Economic Psychology, 61, 191-202. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joep.2017.03.006
Postprint in MOspace: https://hdl.handle.net/10355/62875

Since the post print was added, the article has 3,441 downloads from all over the world, which is up from 2,611 in October 2021.

Posted on July 26, 2022August 19, 2022

The Health Sciences Library is embarking on an exciting renovation projected to start Spring 2023. Over the next several months, we will work with architects to design a more functional and accessible modern library.

This library redesign will focus on library spaces for student work including improved access to technology, collaborative and individual study spaces, and innovative furniture concepts that are appropriate for today’s technology needs.

We are working to ensure that our new, modern library will meet the needs of our community as well as make sure your needs are met during any building closure.
