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
(identifier) of a paper/book is cited in another similar
formally published paper

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
