Altmetric and ScienceOpen will be co-hosting a webinar on July 4, 2016, at 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM BST titled 'The future of altmetrics.'
Altmetrics are non-traditional metrics that can be used as alternative measures of scholarly impact. As an article-level metric, they contain information about how research is shared and re-used in a digital environment, such as mentions in tweets, blogs, or Wikipedia pages. They are becoming increasingly important for researchers as they offer a much richer understanding of how their research is being used by broader communities.
The European Commission Expert Group on Altmetrics recently launched an open consultation entitled 'Next-generation altmetrics: responsible metrics and evaluation for open science.'
The expert panel, which includes James Wilsdon of Sheffield University, Stephanie Dawson, CEO of ScienceOpen, and Euan Adie, Founder of Altmetric, will cover the technical, political, and practical implications of altmetrics and the development of next-generation metrics.
Registration with a valid email is required to obtain webinar information. The webinar is free of charge and without restrictions.
