In a correction to my original email, there are at least THREE sources of data on the market that can provide “co-authorship with non-academic partners as a proportion of total outputs” indicators 😊

Have a lovely weekend all,
Lizzie

Subject: Bibliometrics make it into the KEF - & new OA book on gaming metrics

Dear Lis-Bibliometrics colleagues,

You might be interested to see that UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) announced the Knowledge Exchange Framework<https://re.ukri.org/knowledge-exchange/knowledge-exchange-framework/> (KEF) metrics last week.  One of these is a bibliometric indicator not currently used in any other assessments (as far as memory serves) and that is “co-authorship with non-academic partners as a proportion of total outputs”.  The data provider is to be decided, but I’m guessing it can really only be one of two.  This has led to some interesting discussion on Twitter<https://twitter.com/LizzieGadd/status/1217855015500599298> around the validity of this indicator and the systemic effects it might have.

Whilst on the topic of gaming…you might be interested in a new OPEN ACCESS edited collection called Gaming the Metrics<https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/gaming-metrics> resulting from a conference held at UC Davis. Some great authors included!

All best
Lizzie
