This year, we’re talking Open Science and altmetrics in an Open Access Week 2014 webinar, “The right metrics for Generation Open: a guide to getting credit for practicing Open Science.” We’re also scheduling a limited number of customizable presentations for universities around the world–read on to learn more!
Register for “The Right Metrics for Generation Open”
The traditional way to understand and demonstrate your impact–through citation counts–doesn’t meet the needs of today’s researchers. What Generation Open needs is altmetrics.
In this presentation, we’ll cover:
- what altmetrics are and the types of altmetrics today’s researchers can expect to receive,
- how you can track and share those metrics to get all the credit you deserve, and
- real life examples of scientists who used altmetrics to get grants and tenure
Scientists and librarians across all time zones can attend, because we’re offering it throughout the week, at times convenient for you:
