Much like Lil Bub, we’re bushed. Our Open Access Week 2014 was very eventful–we spoke with more than 100 researchers and librarians in 9 countries over 5 days. Here’s how we spent our time.

Throughout the week, Stacy hosted several sessions of “The Right Metrics for Generation Open: a guide to getting credit for Open Science,” where she talked about how Generation Open’s needs are evolving beyond that of previous generations of scientists. Altmetrics are particularly well-suited to meet those needs. You can view her slides on Slideshare, and read a long-form blogpost based on the presentation here on our blog.

Tuesday saw Stacy talking with faculty and librarians at the University of Alberta and the University of Memphis, where she explained “Why Open Research is Critical to your career”. (tl;dr: Change is coming in scholarly communication–so you should get on board and start making the most of the great opportunities that Open Science and altmetrics can offer you.) Check out her slides on Google Docs.

On Wednesday, Stacy had the pleasure of hangin’ virtually with librarians and library students at the University of Wisconsin, where they talked about the fact that “Altmetrics are here: are you ready to help your faculty?” After all, who’s a better neutral third-party to help faculty navigate this new world of altmetrics than librarians? Slides from that presentation are available on Google Docs.

Jason gave his popular talk, “Altmetrics & Revolutions: How the web is transforming the measure and practice of science” to researchers at the University of New Brunswick on Thursday. His slides are available on Google Docs.

Stacy rounded out the week by chatting with researchers and librarians at the University of Cape Town on Friday. Her presentation on the basics of altmetrics and how to use them–”Altmetrics 101: How to make the most of supplementary impact metrics”–is available for viewing on Google Docs.
