[Sigmetrics] altmetrics15: registration and call for contributions

[Stefanie Haustein]

*Appologies for cross-posting.*


*altmetrics15: 5 years in, what do we know?*

*altmetrics15 *is a follow-up to the successful *altmetrics11*, *altmetrics12
*and *altmetrics14 *workshops and will encourage collaboration and
cross-pollination between research and practice, combining academic
presentations with group discussions. The workshop is co-organized with the 2nd
Altmetrics Conference 2:AM <http://www.altmetricsconference.com/> and will
take place on *9 October 2015* at the Amsterdam Science Park
<http://www.amsterdamsciencepark.nl/>.

*Registration *is now open: http://altmetrics.org/altmetrics15/#register

We are soliciting *empirical and theoretical contributions* for short
presentations and as a basis for discussion groups, which will be the main
focus of the workshop. Submissions can focus on empirical analyses, novel
theoretical frameworks, original datasets or represent a position paper and
should be submitted as an extended abstract (max 1,000 words) via EasyChair
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=altmetrics15> by *1 September 2015*
.

While an abstract is not a requirement to attend the workshop, we strongly
encourage prospective participants to submit a contribution to seed the
discussions. All accepted submissions will be made available via the workshop
website <http://altmetrics.org/altmetrics15> prior to the workshop. A
limited number of contributions will be selected for short presentations.
