PSP Seminar Series: Metrics, New Metrics, and Their Significance

  • Start date: October 19, 2016
  • Location: New York, NY
    Come see our presentation about the expanding universe of metrics

Plum Analytics President and Co-Founder, Andrea Michalek will be hosting the altmetrics seminar as part of the PSP Committee for Digital Innovation’s seminar series on ‘Metrics, New Metrics , and their significance’ on Wednesday, 19th October – 12:00-1:30 pm in New York.

Andrea will talk about how publishers are under increasing pressure —pressure to provide more services to authors, pressure to demonstrate impact of published articles and pressure to better manage issues and journals and how altmetrics can help on all of these fronts.

Background: Since 2010, when the term “altmetrics” was a Twitter hashtag to describe non-citation metrics, the field has grown up to provide real value to publishers and those they serve. Andrea Michalek will present the trends in altmetrics that everyone should know about. Hint: one of them is “The Universe of Metrics is Expanding.” That is right, what is considered an alternative metric has changed a lot over the years, and now even include a new type of citation called a Clinical Citation. Come to this session to learn what that is and about more altmetrics trends.
