Enroll in "Introduction to Scholarly Metrics" from Amigos Library Services

  • 1.  Enroll in "Introduction to Scholarly Metrics" from Amigos Library Services

    Posted Jun 15, 2021 05:19 PM

    This online course will provide an introductory overview of tried-and-true bibliometric indicators, including citation-based metrics such as Journal Impact Factor and h-Index. We will also cover the web-based metrics known as alternative or altmetrics. Scholarly metrics is a rapidly evolving field, so we will also identify some newer bibliometrics and altmetrics tools.

    Students will come away from the workshop being able to:

    • Identify basic bibliometric and altmetric indicators used in research evaluation processes
    • Generally explain the data underpinnings of altmetrics versus bibliometrics
    • Locate and use sources for scholarly metrics available for free on the World Wide Web
    • Use scholarly metrics appropriately and responsibly
    • Know emerging trends in scholarly metrics and scholarly communication

    To continue their learning, students will be asked to complete a "treasure hunt" worksheet after attending the webinar presentation.

    This course consists of one two-hour session: Tuesday, June 22, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. CDT
