[Sigmetrics] Fully funded PhD studentships in scientometrics at the Knowledge Media institute, UK

[Petr.Knoth]

The Knowledge Media institute, The Open University, UK is currently offering fully-funded PhD studentships. The following topic might be of a particular interest to the members of this list:

- Web-scale research analytics for identifying high performance and trends: data-driven approaches to scientometrics.
It is expected the research will use a combination of bibliometric, altmetric and article full-text data to develop new research metrics. The research will analyse how predictive they are with respect to peer-review judgements. A very large dataset of publication full-texts (millions of articles from all disciplines), a large citation network (500M+ citation links) and altmetric indicators, and peer-review judgements from across disciplines is readily available.

Deadline for applications: 20th June 2016.

The offered stipend of 14,057 GBP per annum plus waived student fees is offered for 3 years. Prospective applicants should contact me and Prof Zdrahal directly at petr.knoth at open.ac.uk<mailto:petr.knoth at open.ac.uk> and zdenek.zdrahal at open.ac.uk<mailto:zdenek.zdrahal at open.ac.uk> prior to application.

Best wishes,
