ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Initiated by Olle Persson and Peter Ingwersen, bibliometric researchers in the Nordic countries have arranged annual Nordic workshops on bibliometrics since 1996. The general scope of the workshop is to present recent bibliometric research in the Nordic countries, to create better linkages between the bibliometric research groups and their PhD students, and to link bibliometric research with research policy. The workshop language is English and the workshop is open to participants from any nation.

PRE-WORKSHOP ON NOVEMBER 2nd
The main workshop takes place on November 3rd<x-apple-data-detectors://2> and 4th. This year NWB also offers a pre-workshop on Wednesday November 2nd in the afternoon<x-apple-data-detectors://3>. The theme is the 'Appropriate use of research metrics for the evaluation of academic, and broader social, economic and environmental impact.' and the pre-workshop is organised in collaboration with Digital Science and Plum Analytics.
