ASSESSING CONTRIBUTION, ASSESSING USAGE: METRICS IN A NEW CONTEXT


NFAIS Virtual Seminar
Friday, March 28, 2014
10:00 am - 3:00 pm EDT


Why are scholars and researchers, institutions, and funding bodies re-thinking the assessment of value and contribution?  In this full-day virtual event you’ll learn:
How current metrics fall short in supporting the creation, discovery and dissemination of new knowledge
New tools for clarifying the contribution and value of the artifacts of research
What changes are needed in our publishing practices to deliver article-level metrics and meet user needs
What data needs to be gathered and which behaviors should be tracked to avoid skewing subsequent use
How new technologies and guidelines for funding and disseminating research might affect the scholarly communication process and tenure
How the information community is collaborating in the development of new metrics to satisfy both the researcher and the institution
