From krpowel at emory.edu Tue Aug 12 12:04:01 2014 From: krpowel at emory.edu (Powell, Kimberly Robin) Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:04:01 +0000 Subject: [Sigmet-officers] No Student Papers! Message-ID: <0725b09bfc1d47259ec82f0c6ad6d049@BLUPR0501MB866.namprd05.prod.outlook.com> So bad news, SigMet officers, The proposed deadline for the Student Paper contest is tomorrow (August 13th). And the one entry we had submitted back in late-June has since been withdrawn by the author. So... We have no student entries! It's my understanding the VISAs for travel into the USA for those that need it can take 6weeks to process- so we would want to have the process started for any winners no later than the week of September 15th. How late do we think we can push back the submission deadline in order to gather more interest? Any other thoughts or suggestions? ~Kim ----- Kimberly R Powell, MIS Life Sciences Informationist Woodruff Health Sciences Center Library 1462 Clifton Road, NE Atlanta GA 30322 (404) 727-3961 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <6ef4ad724a13476da0407b17eee3bed9@BLUPR0501MB866.namprd05.prod.outlook.com> Please Note Deadline Extension! Student Papers must now be received by Monday, September 1, 2014. Please feel free to re-distribute. 2014 ASIS&T SIG/MET Student Paper Contest Are you tired of preparing papers which immediately migrate into your professors' files and have not been seen ever since? Recover your papers and give them a life and a great opportunity for yourself. Send your most promising papers to the 2014 ASIST SIG/MET Student paper contest where you have the chance to present your work in front of an interested audience, discuss it with established researchers, and win the ASIS&T SIG/MET Best Student Paper Award. This is the fourth annual student paper contest for SIG/MET, the Special Interest Group for the measurement of information production and use (http://www.asis.org/SIG/met.html)of the Association for Information Science & Technology (ASIS&T). The contest is designed to recognize promising student research relating to the measurement of information, publication, and research and gives students a forum to meet the leaders of the field. Purpose SIG/MET seeks to encourage the development and networking opportunities of all those interested in the measurement of information. It is holding this contest to foster student growth and promote the generation of new ideas and research in metric-related topics, including bibliometrics, scientometrics, informetrics, altmetrics and other related domains. Eligibility The first author of the paper entered into this contest must be a full-time student at the time of submission, irrespective of ASIS&T or SIG/MET membership. Only solo or first authored student manuscripts will be accepted, in order to ensure that the student made significant contributions to the work. SIG/MET reserves the right to request proof of enrollment as part of the submission and evaluation process. Submissions should not have been published work, although they may be submitted to a journal at the time of submission to the contest. Theme Papers should discuss theories, methods, policies, case studies, etc. on aspects of the measurement of information production and use. Topics could include, but are not limited to, the following core areas: * Metric-Related Theory * Methods and new techniques * Citation and co-citation analysis * Indicators * Webometrics * Information visualization * Research policy * Productivity * Journals, databases and electronic publications * Collaboration/Co-authorship * Patent analysis * Knowledge and topic diffusion * Altmetrics Selection Papers will be reviewed by SIG/MET officers and advisors to the SIG/MET workshop. At least one winner will be chosen. In the past, we have also given commendation to other particularly outstanding papers. Selection criteria include those that would be considered in traditional peer review: that is, the quality of the research, the presentation of the results, and the originality of the research question. Prizes The winner will be awarded a one-year individual membership to ASIS&T and a cash prize, sponsored by Elsevier. If of sufficient merit and pending available funds, two winners may be announced: one for the best first-authored paper and one for the best sole-authored paper. Authors of highly rated papers will be invited to submit a short biographical piece to be featured on the SIG/MET website. In addition, these authors may be invited to present their research under their own expense at the SIG/MET pre-conference workshop at the 2014 Annual ASIS&T Meeting. Format Submissions can be of any length and format, but should ideally reflect typical standards of a journal article (i.e., approximately 6,000 words and in an appropriate citation style for the social sciences). Submission & Deadline Authors are invited to submit manuscripts by midnight EST on Monday September 1, 2014, to the following website: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigmetspc2014 The students will be notified about the results by September 1, 2014. For inquiries and further information please contact Kim Powell (krpowel at emory.edu).

It is designed to foster student research in metric-related topics: bibliometrics, scientometrics, atlmetrics, etc. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
