  2. What is Plum building? • Next generation impact analysis metrics for scholarly research. • Aggregating artifact and author level metrics into a researcher graph. • Metrics captured and correlated at the group/collection level (think: lab, department, museum, journal, etc.) This graph will power intuitive research directories and visualizations.

  3. The Library • Supporting institution’s research output more important than ever • Perception of the library as integral to research process has declined in last 10 years • Trend away from collections model and towards service model • Academic Libraries more and more interested in open access • Hope to reduce ever-growing subscription prices • Some starting to earmark part of collection budget to author fees • Mandating IR deposits

  4. Benefits for the institution • Recruiting rising stars • Capturing current metrics for grant funding support • Providing more data for department funding decisions • Which repositories work best for showcasing research output • What promotion methods work best • How researchers and departments stack up against peers

  5. Metrics are not the same

  6. Different types of metrics • Usage • Downloads, views, book holdings, ILL, document delivery • Captures • Favorites, bookmarks, saves, readers, groups, watchers • Mentions • Blog post, news story, Wikipedia article, comments, review • Social Media • Tweets, Google +1s, likes, shares, ratings • Citations • Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic Search, confined citations

  7. Some of the challenges • Many APIs for metrics not built yet, closed, or not available at scale • Different versions of artifacts can be in many places • Authors and funders want to know combined usage • What constitutes one artifact? • Pre-print, associated dataset, online video • Different paths to the same artifact • Direct linking, link shorteners, link resolvers
