[Sigmet-officers] Conference call

[Judit Bar-Ilan]

Dear All,

Thanks to Cassidy for the detailed summary of the call, and to all who were
able to attend. Here are my comments:

1 d.   We should definetely try to get some support for the workshop from
Elsevier again. And perhaps also from Thomson-Reuters (7 a)

4 a. Panels at ASIST. Last year we put together a proposal for an
altmetrics panel with an excellent group of people (in my objective
opinion), but our submission wsa not accepted. We had people from PLoS and
Mendeley, which was an excellent idea in my opinion, but the reviewers
thought that the panel was not objective, even though we emphasized that we
are going to discuss the pros and cons (perhaps we did not emphasize this
point sufficiently). Do you think that we should try again???

6. Workshop - We should definetely follow up on the dataset proposal by
Elsevier.

Webinar to introduce the dataset is a good idea. We could also publish
something on this in the ISSI newsletter, and probably also something in
Research Trends. We have to coordinate this carefully with Elsevier,
becausee it seemed to me that they were rather sensitive about who could
use the planned common dataset.

A workshop at ISSI does not seem feasible to me, the deadline for workshop
proposals has already passed. We could however distribute flyers at the
conference (again after discussing this with Elsevier and asking permission
from the conference organizers - but this should not be a problem). Maybe
we could produce a poster or a roll-up and place it somewhere in the
entrance hall (again we need permission for this).

I am in favor of not waiting until 2014 to produce results, but to present
results at the forthcoming SIG/MET workshop in Montreal. If we get the
dataset later spring-early summer, this should give us enough time to
produce something. If we feel that we can do further studies on the
dataset, we can reuse the set for the next AM as well. The idea of the
common dataset that came out at the last workshop, was an excellent idea,
and we should show its feasibility and value as soon as possible and not
wait for another year.

The challenge option was discussed at the workshop, and we felt that it is
too early to work on defined tasks, perhaps we can do this at a later
stage, after we understand what can be done with such a dataset.

10. Publications - special collection with PLoS 1 - we should keep in mind
that in order to publish in PLoS1, the authors have to pay a rather
substantial sum.

Regards,
Judit

Please note that there is an additional relevant conference in September in
Berlin

We can try to advertise our workshop and SIG/MET in general there as well.
