[Isabella Peters]

Next-generation altmetrics: responsible metrics and evaluation for open
science 

 

***************************************************************

Call for evidence #eosc #opensciencecloud - Please distribute widely!

***************************************************************

 

As a contribution to its Open Science Policy Platform 

(http://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/index.cfm?pg=open-science-policy-p
latform), 

the European Commission has recently established an expert group to advise
on the 

role of metrics and altmetrics in the development of its agenda for open
science and 

research. 

 

This group is keen to consult widely and draw on the knowledge and
experience of a 

range of stakeholders. This call is an invitation for you to contribute
evidence, 

insights and analysis that can inform the group’s work, and strengthen its
findings 

and recommendations, which will be published towards the end of 2016. 

 

This website 

https://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/index.cfm?pg=altmetrics_eg 

sets out a brief rationale for the expert group’s work, within the context
of 

the Open Science agenda, details its members and terms of reference, and 

highlights some specific questions and topics, on which it would welcome
input. 

 

Please send responses to RTD-Open-Science at ec.europa.eu 

 

by 16:00 on 13 July 2016. 

 

We will consider all responses received by this deadline. 

 

Evidence should be provided in the form of a short position statement (3
pages 

maximum). Please make it clear whether you are responding as an individual
or 

on behalf of an organisation, and your role within the open science agenda. 

 

If you have any queries about the work of the group, please also contact us
at RTD-

Open-Science at ec.europa.eu. Thank you for any contribution you can make to
our 

deliberations. 

 

Yours sincerely, 

Professor James Wilsdon 

Chair, European Commission Expert Group on Altmetrics

(and Judit Bar-Ilan, Robert Frodeman, Elisabeth Lex, Isabella Peters, and
Paul Wouters)
