ABOUT THE MEETING

 

This is the last open meeting for Phase 1 of the NISO project to explore,
identify, and advance standards and/or best practices related to the
development and adoption of new assessment metrics (altmetrics) in the
community. Such metrics can include usage-based metrics, social media
references, and network behavioral analysis. In addition, the project is
exploring potential assessment criteria for non-traditional research
outputs, such as data sets, visualizations, software, and other
applications.

 

The agenda of the one-day January 23 meeting will include a short opening
keynote on the topic of assessment, lightning talks on related projects,
brainstorming for identification of topics for discussion, and prioritizing
of proposed work items.

 

FREE LIVESTREAM AVAILABLE

For those interested in this work, but unable to attend in-person, NISO will
be live streaming this event. Credentials for login will be provided closer
to the event date; please make sure to designate your attendance as
"virtual" in the RSVP form <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HJNX95Z>  so that
we may be sure to communicate that information to you.
