Dear Colleagues
We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the 1:AM Altmetrics conference (http://www.altmetricsconference.com/), to be held in London on the 25th and 26th of September this year.
This conference is the first of its kind to be held in Europe, and we invite librarians, funders, publishers, researchers, and anyone interested in new forms of research communication, evaluation and impact assessment to join us for what is sure to be an interesting few days.
The aim is to provide an opportunity to share ideas and discuss how and why altmetrics are or should be applied in the scholarly arena. We will hear from publishers, funders and institutions to learn about their experiences (good and bad), and encourage delegate feedback and input in the group workshop sessions.
James Wilsdon, Chair of the HEFCE steering group on Metrics, and Todd Carpenter, Executive Director of the National Information Standards Organisation in the US, will both be on hand to give an update on their altmetrics initiatives.
We are also inviting delegates to share their ideas and experiences in communicating research or the application of altmetrics to their workflow in an informal poster session. It’s a great opportunity to show off some of the activity that’s been taking place within your organisation – see http://www.altmetricsconference.com/posters/ for details.
Organised (and kindly supported by) representatives from the Wellcome Trust, Altmetric, PLOS, Elsevier, Springer and eLife, delegate fees are just £15.
Applications are currently open for researchers and librarians (or other institutional delegates) to apply for travel grants – please see the registration page for details.
We’d love to have you join us: you can register online now at http://www.altmetricsconference.com/registration/.
Kind regards,
Cat Chimes
Head of Marketing, Altmetric
