*METRICS 2012 -- WORKSHOP ON INFORMETRIC AND SCIENTOMETRIC RESEARCH*

*CALL FOR ABSTRACTS*

The ASIS&T Special Interest Group for Metrics (SIG/MET) will host a 
workshop on Friday, October 26, 2012 preceding the ASIS&T Annual Meeting 
in Baltimore. This workshop will provide an opportunity for 
presentations and in-depth conversations on metric-related issues, 
including the latest theories, approaches, applications, innovations, 
and tools. Submissions in any area of metrics research will be accepted 
for review. The workshop is envisioned as a combination of short 
presentations and open discussion.

SIG/MET is the Special Interest Group for the measurement of information 
production and use. It encourages the development and networking of all 
those interested in the measurement of information. It encompasses not 
only bibliometrics, scientometrics, informetrics and webometrics , but 
also measurement of the Web and the Internet, applications running on 
these platforms, and metrics related to network analysis, visualization, 
and scholarly communication.

The workshop is endorsed by the International Society for Scientometrics 
and Informetrics (ISSI) and sponsored by Elsevier.
