Dear Lizzie,
On behalf of the Snowball Project, please let me know how the Snowball team could contribute and help with this initiative. In the meantime, the Snowball Metrics recipe book may be a good resource to review and can be found at
https://www.snowballmetrics.com/wp-content/uploads/snowball-recipe-book_HR.pdf. Please note the 3rd edition is currently in preparation which will include a number of new recipes/updates and will be available for free download at the Snowball
Metrics website in the near future.
Best wishes
Peter

Subject: Possible practitioners guide to bibliometrics book
Dear colleagues,
The Lis-Bibliometrics Committee and friends are in discussion with Facet Publishing with a view to writing a practitioner’s guide to bibliometrics. In one sentence, it should guide the practitioner through the strengths and weakness of
the key bibliometric tools and indicators, helping them to apply bibliometrics sensibly and avoid the many pitfalls that can accompany this type of work. We are considering this partly in response to feedback following the development of the
Bibliometric Competencies from individuals wanting help developing or improving their skills. It would very much be a practitioner-to-practitioner guide and would be available both as a printed
and ebook, and as a series of Green OA AAMs linked to The Bibliomagician.
In the light of this, we’d welcome your feedback on the following:
-
Does a book of this nature sound like something that might be useful to you/your colleagues?
-
What topics would you particularly like to see covered?
-
Would you like to volunteer or recommend a particular case study that might be of interest?
We look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks
Lizzie
