Hi Nancy, Birgid, and Maria,
You are absolutely right. The Lis-Bibliometrics Forum have long been aware of the need for some kind of MOOC or online training in this space. The challenge is finding the time and resources to develop it. We'd certainly be interested in talking to other organisations about a collaboration and will investigate web-streaming of future events. In the short term, we will continue to signpost other resources on our resources page and make the slides from our events available.
Best regards
Elizabeth

There would be a lot of interest in the US from all types of libraries. It is a possible cooperative effort with the Special Library Association.

Dear Lis-Bibliometrics
colleagues,
I’m pleased to announce that booking is now open for the pilot Statistics for Responsible Bibliometrics course.
This
course has been designed with Bibliometric, Library and Research Office staff in mind for whom bibliometrics
is now a part of their role, but who have had little or no statistics training. In one intensive day, the course aims to introduce a set of statistical approaches that can be incorporated into common bibliometric analyses to help with the responsible interpretation
of those analyses. Delegates will have hands-on statistical practice using the open source software package ‘R’. No prior experience with R is necessary. While an overview of basic statistical concepts will be provided, please bear in mind that this course
is not intended as a traditional introduction to statistics. Instead, the focus is very much on using statistics specifically in a bibliometric context—and a lot of that is not about using the statistics you would learn in most introductory courses, hence
the reason we are running our own bespoke course for the community! The event will be free of charge in return for detailed feedback about the course to help inform its development. The course is being co-taught by Mike Thelwall, Ian Rowlands, and Abigail
McBirnie.
Please note that because
places are extremely limited, this event is restricted to one place per institution. Although you will receive
an automated notification of booking, please do not make any travel arrangements until your place has been confirmed separately by email.
ARMA have
kindly offered to manage bookings for us, but places are being advertised only to Lis-Bibliometrics members
in the first instance. To book, please follow this
