Dear all, I am one of the two partners at Science-Metrix, a company dedicated to supporting the decision-making, strategic planning and outcome assessment processes of S&T-related organisations. As VP Bibliometrics, I am in charge of bibliometric analyses and various other quantitative studies. This is why I am following this list with great interest. I will be pleased to contribute, when relevant.

Although I am familiar with webometrics, I am fairly new to the world of Bibliometrics. My task is to look at researching and analysing Metric data to provide high-level expertise on the use of Bibliometrics and other related research performance indicator for the understanding and assessment of the quality of the University's research. Additionally, I will be undertaking bibliometric and related exercises at all levels at the University, by offering training, guidance, and promoting Metrics. So I am hoping to get some guidance and to look at sharing of best practice with others.

Introduced to the list by Lizzie in her guise as ARMA Metrics Special Interest Group Champion. I'm a Research Manager and Administrator rather than Librarian... although some aspects of my role appear to be little blurred these days - particularly with Open Access, Metrics, Benchmarking etc. I've dabbled a little bit in metrics and (with my ARMA hat on) was one of authors of The Metric Tide report than some may have seen/heard about/even read... ;-) My one question... hmm... why doesn't everyone use Snowball Metrics? Or to put it another way, why don't we (still) yet have a snowball metrics exchange...? Simon PS Happy Easter!

Particularly interested at the moment in how we measure the impact/influence of open research data. Previously associated with King's College London, Wolverhampton and Loughborough (as an undergrad), soon to be looking for a new post.

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!
