altmetrics19. BYOR: Bring your own research altmetrics19 ( <http://altmetrics.org/altmetrics19> http://altmetrics.org/altmetrics19) is part of the altmetrics workshop series organized since 2011 and will take place in conjunction with the 6th Altmetrics Conference (6:AM; <http://www.altmetricsconference.com/> http://altmetricsconference.com) Stirling Court Hotel, located on the University of Stirling campus (Scotland, UK) on 11 October 2019. This time, altmetrics19 encourages the community to bring their own research and set their own topical foci in contributions. This will allow us to simultaneously discuss the state of the art of research in altmetrics and social media-based metrics as well as to detect new research fronts. Together with the workshop participants we would like to reflect on current research approaches as well as to look at future horizons of altmetrics research and practice. Call for contributions We are soliciting empirical and theoretical contributions for short presentations and as a basis for discussions, which will be the main focus of the altmetrics19 workshop. Submissions can focus on empirical analyses, novel theoretical frameworks, original datasets or represent a position paper. The goal of the workshop is to discuss, exchange and foster collaboration on social media metrics and altmetrics. While a short paper is not a requirement to attend the workshop, we strongly encourage prospective participants to submit a contribution to seed the discussions. The organizers will give priority to submissions linking to original research artifacts and bearing potential for deeper reflection on altmetrics use and research. All accepted submissions (as an extended version) will be considered for publication in the Journal of Altmetrics [ <https://www.journalofaltmetrics.org/> https://www.journalofaltmetrics.org/] should the authors agree, otherwise they will be made available via the workshop website. How to submit Please provide short papers (1,500-3,000 words) presenting the objectives, questions, methods and results of your altmetrics research. Short papers in PDF need to be submitted via <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=altmetrics19> EasyChair by 15 July 2019. Please include a link to any relevant artifact (e.g., a dataset, plots, slidedeck) you wish to present and discuss, after archiving it via an appropriate repository (e.g., Zenodo, Dryad, figshare, GitHub, SlideShare, etc.). Upon completing a review process and complying with required revisions, papers submitted to the workshop will be considered for publication in the Journal of Altmetrics [ <https://www.journalofaltmetrics.org/> https://www.journalofaltmetrics.org/]. The Journal of Altmetrics is an Open Access Journal, sponsored by the Levy Library at Mount Sinai, and currently waives authors’ fees for publications. All papers receive a DOI and are tracked for impact metrics. Authors of selected papers from the altmetrics19 workshop, as well as from the 6:AM Conference, will be asked to provide an extended version of their presentation/short paper, which will then be re-reviewed and published in a special issue dedicated to the conference and workshop. For more information about the journal please visit <https://www.journalofaltmetrics.org/> https://www.journalofaltmetrics.org/ More information on the workshop can be found on the website: <http://altmetrics.org/altmetrics19> http://altmetrics.org/altmetrics19. We are looking forward to receiving your submissions!
