Hi Tim,

maybe we should ask the whole sigmet-list?

Would be nice to see a bibliometrics article here.

Thanks to those of you who have responded to my request with bibliographic
citations! You have one last chance - please send your SIG's nominations for
key or high impact papers by August 10th. The original request is below: 

 

I'm writing to you, a SIG officer, in my capacity as Chair of the ASIST 80th
Anniversary Advisory Group. This group is advising Wiley (the JASIST
publisher) on their project to identify key and high impact papers in
JASIST.  For their part Wiley conducted a bibliometric study of highly cited
papers, ranked by decade. As part of this initiative the 80thAG is
soliciting nominations of JASIST papers that have been central to your own
work, or to that of your SIG. Wiley realizes that articles can be quite
useful without attracting bibliographic citations, so we are asking your
opinions! 

 

In early September, all ASIST members will have a chance to vote on the most
significant JASIST paper for each decade. The papers span the years
1956-2017.

 

The outcome of this initiative will be a Wiley-hosted website that features
access to select papers. ASIST members will be able to add comments and
images. This website will launch during the upcoming annual meeting in
Washington, DC. 

 

Please send your paper nominations (in the form of a citation) by August
15th to klabarre at illinois.edu
