Hi all,

Still have a proposal in mind you didn't have time to pull together? Good
news -- we've extended until this Friday, October 24.

The details of the symposium are below. Please forward to any interested
colleagues. We look forward to seeing your proposals!

The CINF Division of the ACS invites proposals for a symposium at the March
22-26 ACS National Meeting in Denver: Defining 'Value' in Scholarly
Communications: Evolving Ways of Evaluating Impact on Science

DEADLINE EXTENDED: October 24, 2014
SUBMIT HERE: http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/spring-2015.html

With the shift to digital workflows for online publication, the expansion
of research into a worldwide multidisciplinary undertaking, the explosion
of research from emerging economies, and greater competition for less
funding, we are confronted with a scholarly communication ecosystem that
must reevaluate is definitions of “value” and “impact.” This symposium is
dedicated to examining questions of value and impact in all aspects of the
scholarly communications process, including researcher workflows and
evolving technologies, emerging measures of individual and group
performance, new ways of disseminating content and alternative forms of
outputs, and competing definitions of “value” in emerging versus
established markets.

Topics areas to consider are:
- Disruptive technologies
- Alternative publishing models
- Alternative ways of measuring impact
- Evolving definitions of impact
- Impact of funder/government mandates
- Alternative research outputs (data, etc.)

For questions about the symposium or your proposal please feel free to
reach out to symposium organizers Teri Vogel (tmvogel at ucsd.edu), Sara Rouhi
(sara at altmetric.com), and Jeffrey Lancaster (jeffrey.lancaster at columbia.edu
).


Many thanks,
