NFAIS one-day workshop, <i>Assessing the Usage and Value of Scholarly and
Scientific Output: An Overview of Traditional and Emerging Metrics</i> will
take place on November 10, 2010. Experts from around the globe will gather in
Philadelphia, PA to discuss the new methods that are becoming increasingly
important for measuring the usage and value of scholarly and scientific
content, including large scientific data sets, and how those measures
complement the more traditional, well-known approaches<i>. Registrations for
virtual and onsite attendance are still available.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

meeting will open with Oliver Pesch, Chief Strategist, EBSCO Information
Services, providing a look at what‘s new with Project COUNTER and
SUSHI. He will be followed by Ross MacIntyre, Senior Manager, Mimas,
University of Manchester, UK, who will describe a relatively new initiative,
PIRUS 2,that takes COUNTER statistics down to the article level. Todd
Carpenter, Executive Director, National Information Standards Organization
(NISO), will provide an update on Project MESUR, and Dr. Robert D. Chen,

new indicator of journal citation impact, denoted as source normalized impact per
paper (SNIP). Dr. Peter Binfield, Public Library of Science, will describe the
article level metrics that are currently offered by PLoS, and Jeff Dougherty,
Thomson Reuters Healthcare & Science, will talk about the traditional and
proven citation approach to measuring usage and value with a look at citation
indexes, journal metrics and the impact factor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
