We participated in a free Research Information webcast about Measuring Impact with Altmetrics on October 14th.

Here is the description of the webcast:

Altmetrics is a major buzz word at the moment and many publishers and others are experimenting with adding additional impact information to their papers. This webcast is a rare opportunity to hear founders of three key altmetrics start ups – Impact Story, Altmetric and Plum Analytics – talk about how they assess impact, what altmetrics mean and what they have observed so far. This webcast will be of interest to researchers, librarians, publishers and others who are either new to altmetrics or want to gain a deeper insight into the potential opportunities and challenges.

It’s fairly long.  Our part of the webcast begins at minute 34:13.  (Not that you’d want to skip ahead, but just sayin’.)
