Presentation Transcript

  1. Altmetrics and an agile academe: Fitting frameworks for future filters NFAIS annual conference, 24 Feb 2013

  2. In the beginning was the letter slow expensive much duplication best solution given available technology

  3. Oldenburg publishesPhil. Trans; applies the best available technology (printing press) to vastly improve dissemination. In 1665, the first revolution:

  4. The First Revolution promoted homogeneity of outputs. The standardized article was born of the need for industrial-scale replication and interchangeability.

  5. The Second Revolution will promote diversity of outputs. With publication nearly free, it becomes trivial to capture the missing pieces of the scholarly record.

  6. Instead of moving paper products faster, we can createweb-native science.

  7. conversation stories analysis data

  8. Web-native science means we can start making public, not merely "Publishing."

  9. But how do we filter?

  10. Build boats. Don't turn offthe taps,

  11. Here's my journal:

  12. Here's how I publish: The Decoupled Journal article: a case study.

  13. But how do we measure it?

  14. The old way: countin' citations

  15. But citations only tell part of the story Spotting emerging research fronts will require tracking "formal and informal communication" (Kuhn, 1977) Heart of scholarly communication is "visits, personal contacts, and letters." (Bernal, 1944) "...there are undoubtedly highly useful journals that are not cited frequently." (Garfield, 1972) 

  16. Impact has multiple dimensions: Audience: Engagement type:  scholars, public views, discussion, saves, citation, recommendation

  17. Impact has multiple dimensions:

  18. Bibliometrics measures citation

  19. Altmetrics measures impact:

  20. Bibliometrics mined impact on  the first scholarly Web. altmetrics mines impact on the next one.

  21. An open-source, nonprofit startup to gather and share altmetrics. Heather Piwowar Jason Priem

  22. Why altmetrics? Because impact is more than this: bad. good.

  23. The second revolution has started. Once we have altmetric data, it’s too useful to ignore; alternative filters and even certification paths based on this data will open. As Peter Vinkler says, citation graph data is like Chekhov’s gun: once on stage, it has to be fired.

  24. A wise man, that Chekov.
