Hi, I've lurked on the list for a while. I have a research background in information science and I'm interested in how bibliometrics can inform metrics for appraising research data value, including its discoverability, e.g. in terms of how the usage and citation of data affects other research outputs and vice versa . I coordinate the guidance publications that we produce in the Digital Curation Centre. I write some of them, though as it happens not the one that's probably most relevant to list members - Alex Ball, Monica Duke (2015). 'How to Track the Impact of Research Data with Metrics<http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/how-guides/track-data-impact-metrics>'. (I've published on more general aspects of evaluating research data management services). At some point in the near future we'd like to publish examples of some approaches libraries are taking to track the usage and impacts of research data that's shared through their own or other repositories.

We are: * Nathalie Cornee, London School of Economics and Political Science * Sally Dalton, University of Leeds * Katie Evans, University of Bath * Elizabeth Gadd, Loughborough University * Stephen Grace, London South Bank University * Sam Gray, Manchester Metropolitan University * Ruth Harrison, Imperial College London * Michael Norris, Loughborough University * Charles Oppenheim, University of Northampton * Karen Rowlett, University of Reading We met for the first time last week and have lots of interesting and exciting plans for the group. Some of the feedback we had from the Lis-Bibliometrics survey last year related to members feeling uncertain about posting to the list because they were unsure who was 'lurking' and feared feeling foolish. In attempt to overcome this, we would like to invite all Lis-Bibliometrics members to introduce themselves and ask about one thing you always wanted to know about bibliometrics but were afraid to ask! Having met many of you at bibliometrics events over the past few years, I can reassure you that we're a friendly bunch and are all feeling our way with this. To give you a taster of some of the things we have planned: * A Lis-bibliometrics blog with contributions from the community * A related resources page * An event (hopefully in June) around the theme of what it means to be a bibliometrician. If you have any thoughts on these, or other suggestions, please let us know. And finally, if you are a tweeter and ever tweet about bibliometric matters, why not use the hashtag #LisBibliometrics so we can develop a Twitter community too? Looking forward to hearing your introductions!
