Fwd: Registration open for JISC-BL DataCite Workshop - "Research data metrics for impact and citation"

[Norman Gray]

Greetings, all.

The following workshop might be of interest to Data Curation and Preservation people, especially in the light of Christophe's remarks at the interop yesterday, about Thomson-Reuters and their marketing of their Data Citation Index.

Best wishes,

Norman

> About the Workshop:
> 
> Developing effective means of measuring the impact of data publication
> is essential if data is to become recognised as a first class research
> output. The field of data metrics is still in its infancy, although both
> established indexing services and 'altmetrics' providers are now
> offering services which measure aspects of data use and impact.
> 
> 
> 
> In this workshop we will look at the role of metrics from the
> perspectives of various stakeholders and consider whether established
> means of evaluating the impact of journal articles can be applied
> equally to datasets and other non-traditional outputs. The role of the
> DOI as a tool for aiding citation and other measures of impact will also
> be considered alongside other metrics.
> 
> 
> 
> Who should attend?
> 
> The workshop will provide an opportunity for those charged with managing
> research data to gain an overview of the current state of the metrics
> landscape, as well as to hear the views of a range of stakeholders on
> how research data should be measured.
