The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) is seeking comments on the draft Altmetrics Definitions and Use Cases document, NISO RP-25-201X-1. The draft is an output of the NISO Altmetrics Initiative, a two-phase project aiming to address limitations and gaps that may hinder the adoption of altmetrics, an expansion of tools available for measuring scholarly impact of research in the knowledge environment.
Draft output from one NISO altmetrics working group studying data quality was released for comment earlier this month, and further draft outputs from a third working group addressing specific output types, including data metrics and use of persistent identifiers, will be released soon.
The draft Recommended Practice is open for public comments through April 20, 2016. Interested parties may download the draft or submit online comments by visiting the NISO Altmetrics Initiative web page at http://www.niso.org/topics/tl/altmetrics_initiative/.
