ASIS&T WORKSHOP ON INFORMETRICS AND SCIENTOMETRICS RESEARCH Workshop sponsored by ASIS&T SIG/MET ASIS&T 2017 Annual Meeting Friday, October 27, 2017, 9:00am?5:00pm at the Hyatt Regency, Arlington, VA CALL FOR ABSTRACTS The ASIS&T Special Interest Group for Metrics (SIG/MET) invites contributions to the METRICS 2017 workshop, which will be held in Washington D.C. (Crystal City, Virginia) prior to the ASIS&T Annual Meeting in October. The workshop will provide an opportunity to present and discuss metrics-related research, including the latest theories, methods, case studies, and tools relevant to the fields of informetrics, scientometrics, bibliometrics, altmetrics, as well as information retrieval. The workshop continues the successful SIG/MET workshop series held annually since 2011 and is envisioned as a combination of short presentations, posters, and open discussions among experienced researchers, young academics, and practitioners. We invite abstracts related, but not limited to: * New indicators and methods * Applications of indicators * Theories of the publication process, citations, and social media in scholarly communication * Metrics in a library setting * Open access, open science, and metrics * Tool development * Limitations, misuses, and adverse effects of metrics * Interdisciplinarity * Visualizations of scholarly impact measures and analyses 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 and, thus, encompasses not only bibliometrics and scientometrics, but informetrics in a larger sense including measurement of the (social) Web and the Internet, applications running on these platforms, and metrics related to network analysis, visualization, and scholarly communication. Submissions Submissions should be in the form of a two-page extended abstract using APA style. Conceptual, empirical, and works-in-progress will be accepted for submission. Where appropriate, up to three figures/tables can be provided. Two types of submissions will be accepted: posters and presentations. Please indicate the type of submission in bold at the beginning of your submission. The requirements for both formats are the same. Posters will provide scholars with a format for presenting works-in-progress and works that are best presented visually. Every poster will be introduced in a poster pitch-format. The presentations will be an opportunity for researchers and professionals to present and discuss research that is more fully developed. The abstracts of accepted papers and posters, as well as the presentation slides, will be published on figshare (http://figshare.com). Figshare allocates DOIs to uploaded content and each publication will be linked from the SIG/MET website to enhance visibility and retrievability of presented research. Please submit as a PDF to: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigmet2017 Each submission will be reviewed and brief feedback will be given in narrative format. Awards This year we are proud to announce sponsorships by Elsevier (https://www.elsevier.com/), Altmetric.com (www.altmetric.com), and Figshare (https://figshare.com/). Altmetric.com and Figshare have kindly offered to award cash prize for the best overall paper. The best paper will be selected by a committee from all accepted (non-student) workshop papers regardless of their topic. Elsevier has kindly offered to award a cash prize for the best student papers. The first author of the paper entered into this contest must be a full-time student at the time of submission, irrespective of ASIS&T or SIG/MET membership.

Johnson, and Inga Ivanova Abstract Whereas the generation of Shannon-type information is coupled to the second law of thermodynamics, redundancy?that is, the complement of information to the maximum entropy?can be increased by making further distinctions. The dynamics of discursive knowledge production can thus infuse the historical dynamics with a cultural evolution. Providing the information with meaning first proliferates the number of options. Meanings are provided with hindsight at positions in the vector space, as against relations in the network space. The main axes (eigenvectors) of the vector space map the codes of the communication spanning horizons of meaning; the codes structure the communications as selection mechanisms. Unlike hard-wired DNA, the codes of non-biological systems co-evolve with the variation. Discursive knowledge can be considered as meta-coded communication which enables us to entertain models of the processing of meaning and information. This reinforces the hindsight perspective and can turn codification reflexively into coding anticipation. The dynamics of information, meaning, and knowledge can be evaluated empirically using the sign of mutual information as an indicator. ** apologies for cross-postings https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3030525 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loet Leydesdorff Professor, University of Amsterdam Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR) loet at leydesdorff.net ; http://www.leydesdorff.net/ Associate Faculty, SPRU, University of Sussex; Guest Professor Zhejiang Univ. , Hangzhou; Visiting Professor, ISTIC, Beijing; Visiting Fellow, Birkbeck , University of London; http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ych9gNYAAAAJ&hl=en -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The colloquium will be held at the National Academy of Sciences Beckman Center in Irvine, CA on December 4-5, 2017. NAS funded Sackler Colloquia address topics at the forefront of science that are of broad intellectual interest. These Colloquia are typically designed to cut across traditional scientific disciplines (http://www.nasonline.org/programs/sackler-colloquia/about-the-sackler-colloquia.html). They provide unique opportunities for leading researchers in rapidly developing fields to meet and interact with one another, and to thus chart the future of interdisciplinary fields. This colloquium brings together researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to present, discuss, and advance computational models and visualizations of science and technology (S&T). Existing computational models are being applied by academia, government, and industry to explore questions such as: What jobs will exist in ten years and what career paths lead to success? Which types of institutions will likely be most innovative in the future? How will the higher education cost bubble burst affect these institutions? What funding strategies have the highest return on investment? How will changing demographics, alternative economic growth trajectories, and relationships among nations impact answers to these and other questions? Large?scale datasets (e.g., publications, patents, funding, clinical trials, stock market, social media data) can now be utilized to simulate the structure and evolution of S&T.? Advances in computational power have created the possibility of implementing scalable, empirically validated computational models. However, because the databases are massive and multidimensional, both the data and the models tend to exceed human comprehension. How can advances in data visualizations be effectively employed to communicate the data, the models, and the model results to diverse stakeholder groups? Who will be the users of next generation models and visualizations and what decisions will they be addressing.

A special issue of the journal BiD aims to gather reflections on the challenges in scientific communication in thematic, geographical, social or linguistic spaces that are perceived as peripheral or marginal. We invite contributions that explore how ongoing transformations towards open science and the re(appraisal) of societal contributions may affect scientific communication in these local and professional spheres. Journal: BiD: textos universitaris de biblioteconomia i documentaci? Paper length: 4,000 words Submission deadline: 15th October 2017 A workshop with some of the papers submitted will be held in Barcelona in January 2018 Theme of the special issue We are witnessing the birth of a new paradigm in scientific communication, brought about by factors such as the impact of ICTs, the information explosion and open science, on the one hand, and by growing demands for research to be socially responsible and to communicate with professional spheres in order to contribute to well-being, on the other hand. In other words, the birth of a new system of scientific communication runs parallel to the emergence of a new system for the appraisal and assessment of research. For the last two decades, concepts such as ?excellence? and ?international visibility? have dominated the selection criteria in research publishing and management (Vessuri et al., 2014). The prevailing idea has been that both science and scientific journals are organized (like sports competitions) in ascending strata from less to more quality, in which the most international journals publish the most important studies. However, in recent years, this universalist perspective, which associates international visibility with quality, has come under growing criticism. First of all, because it is an elitist vision that may favour narrow disciplinary research and may discriminate against studies that are important from the viewpoint of socially responsible research (Stilgoe, 2014; Bianco & Sutz, 2014). Second, because it favours topics of interest in dominant countries and marginalises other types of research, in languages other than English (Pi?eiro & Hicks, 2015; Vessuri et al., 2014). This special issue aims to collect articles that reflect on how, in an open science context, local scientific communities develop journals or other communication tools to address topics with a low coverage in the main international journals. Contributors are invited to explore how these journals are rated in the assessment systems ? and their possible effects in downplaying research with a local and social focus (see principles 2 and 3 of the Leiden Manifesto; Hicks et al., 2015). We are particularly interested in exploring the aspects of scientific communication that target professionals, that is, technologists, communicators and librarians. These professionals are also knowledge users and generators, but from the viewpoint of the specific and contextual use of knowledge (Chavarro et al., 2016). This means that the research that practitioners find most useful is rarely the most visible internationally. Finally, we also aim to discuss how systemic transformations in research data (such as Figshare), bibliographical search engines (such as Google Scholar), the proliferation of alternative scientific and technological indicators (such as ImpactStory), and the concentration of renowned journals in the hands of large publishers (Larivi?re et al., 2015) may influence the role of scientific communication in local communities.

According to its methodology description, roughly half the score for a university in the Arts&Humanities ranking of THE is based on the university's research performance as represented in a single database, namely, Scopus. Publications (2/3 of this) count only if they appeared in journals indexed in Scopus, and Citations (another 1/3 of this) only if they occur in publications published in journals indexed in Scopus. As I pointed out two years ago, bibliometric indicators are likely unable to produce any meaningful results at all(!!!!) unless the data source used is roughly 80% complete and accurate - for all entities studied, that is. But for both publications and citations in most of the social sciences and the arts and humanities, bibliometric databases are generally considered excellent if they cover even (a highly skewed) 50% of publications in the field; significant social science research communities have even been measured at a mere 10% or worse coverage in these databases, and it is unlikely that the arts and humanities fare much better than the social sciences in this regard. This makes the ranking worse even than random: half of it is skewed completely by effects of institutional and national culture and the degree to which they enforce acceptance of the primacy of the journals indexed in citation databases as publication venues. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280924322_An_8020_Data_Quality_Law_for_Professional_Scientometrics -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
