ABOUT THE WEBINAR

As scholars increase their usage of Web 2.0 tools like CiteULike, Mendeley,
Twitter, and blogs, there is an opportunity to create new filters. These
metrics show web-based traces of research communication like citations from
social networking links, press coverage, comments, etc. These metrics are
complementary to COUNTER, impact factor and eigenfactor reports. Realizing
this, many authors have begun to call for investigation of these metrics
under the banner of "altmetrics." Specifically, altmetrics is the creation
and study of new metrics based on the Social Web for analyzing and informing
scholarship.

Join NISO for the November 13 webinar where speakers explore the topic of
altmetrics and how they can be used.
