Yet another lurker. Retired now (sort of) but with an abiding interest in the topic.

Hi all,

I’m a lurker on the list and have been involved with bibliometrics for a while. I first became aware of the area thanks to colleagues at UCD and through MyRI (http://myri.conul.ie/).

As bibliometrics is only a small part of my job, I’ve never had the time to move beyond the basics so this list is great. Open access and subject support are also parts of my job.

Best wishes,

Dan

Hello All,

Greetings from Austria. I am new to this mailing list and in part new to bibliometrics. My job at the library is the first to include bibliometrics among a number of other responsibilities. I am given the opportunity to define what bibliometrics will entail at our library. I work closely with the department of quality management at the university which is tasked with some aspects of bibliometrics, i.e. analysis on an institutional level. Now that the second year in this job has begun a first concept for my own department is slowly emerging.

I am so glad that I found this list. It allows me both to stay informed and be in contact with other people involved in bibliometrics.

Best wishes,
Clara Ginther

Hello All,

I’m part of a team who run regular workshops on tools for research impact.  The list is fantastic.  It helps me keep myself informed- thanks for sharing the recent article about the Kardashian Index I truly enjoyed reading, while gauging the popularity of some initiatives such as Leiden Manifesto and now Snowball Metrics.   It is certainly a set of measures part of our training when we cover Scopus.   Let’s see what happens when REF rules are announced.
Best wishes,

Hi, I’m also very new to bibliometrics as it’s only a very small part of my role.
I am a research and open access librarian mainly involved in supporting researchers with open access payments and information literacy training. Most of the bibliometrics is handled by our research office although we are increasingly being asked to support this.

Also a recent lurker…
Introduced to the list by Lizzie in her guise as ARMA Metrics Special Interest Group Champion.
I’m a Research Manager and Administrator rather than Librarian… although some aspects of my role appear to be little blurred these days – particularly with Open Access, Metrics, Benchmarking etc.
I’ve dabbled a little bit in metrics and (with my ARMA hat on) was one of authors of The Metric Tide report than some may have seen/heard about/even read… ;-)

My one question… hmm… why doesn’t everyone use Snowball Metrics?  Or to put it another way, why don’t we (still) yet have a snowball metrics exchange…?

PS Happy Easter!

Dear All,

A brief introduction from a long time lurker:

Webometrics researcher (and author of 'Web Metrics for Library and Information Professionals'), with an interest in bibliometrics more generally. Particularly interested at the moment in how we measure the impact/influence of open research data. Previously associated with King's College London, Wolverhampton and Loughborough (as an undergrad), soon to be looking for a new post.

David Stuart

Dear colleagues,

Following expressions of interest late last year, it is with great delight that I can now introduce your new Lis-Bibliometrics Committee. We are:

•         Nathalie Cornee, London School of Economics and Political Science
•         Sally Dalton, University of Leeds
•         Katie Evans, University of Bath
•         Elizabeth Gadd, Loughborough University
•         Stephen Grace, London South Bank University
•         Sam Gray, Manchester Metropolitan University
•         Ruth Harrison, Imperial College London
•         Michael Norris, Loughborough University
•         Charles Oppenheim, University of Northampton
•         Karen Rowlett, University of Reading

We met for the first time last week and have lots of interesting and exciting plans for the group.  Some of the feedback we had from the Lis-Bibliometrics survey last year related to members feeling uncertain about posting to the list because they were unsure who was ‘lurking’  and feared feeling foolish.  In attempt to overcome this, we would like to invite all Lis-Bibliometrics members to introduce themselves and ask about one thing you always wanted to know about bibliometrics but were afraid to ask!  Having met many of you at bibliometrics events over the past few years, I can reassure you that we’re a friendly bunch and are all feeling our way with this.

To give you a taster of some of the things we have planned:

•         A Lis-bibliometrics blog with contributions from the community
•         A related resources page
•         An event (hopefully in June) around the theme of what it means to be a bibliometrician.

If you have any thoughts on these, or other suggestions, please let us know.

And finally, if you are a tweeter and ever tweet about bibliometric matters, why not use the hashtag #LisBibliometrics so we can develop a Twitter community too?

Looking forward to hearing your introductions!

All the best
