Submissions for the third annual SIG/MET Workshop on Informetric and
Scientometric Research are due by August 15! This successful workshop will
have a new element this year: Elsevier has agreed to provide workshop
attendees with a specific dataset covering Elsevier humanities journals.
Elsevier representatives will introduce the dataset at the workshop and
attendees will be encouraged to conduct research on this shared dataset.
More information on this will be distributed in the call for participation.

 Call for Abstracts

The ASIS&T Special Interest Group for Metrics (SIG/MET) will host a
workshop on Friday, November 1, 2013 (9am – 5pm) preceding the ASIS&T
Annual Meeting in Montreal, Canada. 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. New to this workshop will be the
introduction of a shared dataset from Elsevier as part of the Elsevier
Bibliometrics Research Program. Following the presentation, registered
participants will be invited to participate in analyzing the shared dataset.

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, webometrics and informetrics, but also
measurement of the Web and the Internet, applications running on these
platforms, and metrics related to network analysis, visualization,
scholarly communication.
