Altmetrics: Alternative Metrics for Measuring the Impact of Research
April 10 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
Room 213, Ellis Library
It takes time for your work to be formally cited by other researchers and common citation indexes do not work equally well for all disciplines and research methods. Altmetrics (alternative metrics) are faster and wider-ranging measures of the impact your work is having on other researchers and the general public. This workshop will introduce you to current altmetrics tools and how they’re being used to demonstrate the value of research.
