Redefining research impact

Let’s look forward and explore the intersection of some emerging trends that are shaping the future. Altmetrics are web-based metrics for measuring research output. They are becoming a phenomenon in both, the scientific community and the publishing world. Their characteristics bring a lot of potential. They allow an early evaluation of articles and assess the many outcomes of research besides just the paper (data, source code, presentations, blog posts etc. )

Panelists:

Andrea Michalek, President and Co-Founder of Plum Analytics

Robin Champieux, Scholarly Communications Librarian, Oregon Health & Science University
