BORED– Journal-level Metrics (infamous Impact Factor)

– Citation-only Analysis (unreliable h-Index)

– Metadata focused repositories

COOL– Identifiers

– Article Level Metrics (ALM)

– Altmetrics (not only ALM)

BETA– Profiles

• Composite indicators

• Visualization

• Rankings

AGENDA

Standard Identifiers are badly needed!

A model for I-Metrics

WEBOMETRICS

Number of times the URL of a document/author

webpage is linked from another webpage

ALTMETRICS

Number of times the elements are mentioned

(shared) in websites, wikis, blogs, social bookmarks

and networks (incl. Twitter) or search engines

USAGEMETRICS

Number of times the document is

read/visited/downloaded from its publishing place (incl.

websites)

BIBLIOMETRICS

Number of times the bibliographic record

Sources– Commercial bibliographic databases (WoS, Scopus,…)

– Public Web search engines, incl. academic ones (GS, MS AS, Mendeley)

– Social Web platforms (Academia.edu, ResearchGate, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, …)

– Personal (and group) webpages

– Repositories

Metrics– Activity: Formal (peer-reviewed papers/chapters/monographs), Informal

– Visibility: Inclusion in repositories, bibliographic databases/search engines

– Impact: Citations, Links, Mentions (incl. likes, discussions & similar)

– Usage: Visits, Visitors (incl. followers), Downloads

Integration (and visualization)– ImpactStory Plus Plus

From Profile to Portfolio– Institutionally hosted

• Prestige, authority, long-term preservation

– Caring about Identifiers

– Not only Metrics

• Beyond CV: Rhetorical introduction

• Updated frequently: Twitter, Blog or similar

• Outlinks rich

But also Metrics– APIs based: Objectivity, Reliability

• Absolute and relative (rankings) figures

– Network visualization: topics, colleagues, institutions

– Public (interactive) dashboard

• Current standard Google Analytics needs to emerge

IMHO … Personal Institutional Webpage
