AN INTRODUCTION TO ALTMETRICS
The latest webinar from STM's Library Relations Group
Wednesday , October 1, 2014
11:00am EDT (New York)
4:00pm BST (London)
This webinar will provide delegates with a quick introduction to altmetrics, looking at the range of alternative ways currently being deployed to measure the impact of published research. In particular the session will aim to:-
* Give an insight into the extent to which altmetrics are currently being provided
* Assess both the additional insights which they can bring over and above longer standing measures like citation, as well as their limitations and constraints
* Discover how they are currently being used or how their use is currently being considered by libraries, publishers, and end users
* Look at how they are compiled and derived, exploring the extent to which seemingly similar metrics are (to use the original COUNTER mantra) genuinely consistent, compatible, and credible
* Summarise current efforts to introduce cross sector standards into this emerging field
