About the Webinar

(This 90-minute webinar is a rebroadcast of the live Webcast of November 14, 2012.)   

Increasingly, many aspects of scholarly communication—particularly publication, research data, and peer review—undergo scrutiny by researchers and scholars. Many of these practitioners are engaging in a variety of ways with Alternative Metrics (#altmetrics in the Twitterverse). Alternative Metrics take many forms but often focus on efforts to move beyond proprietary bibliometrics and traditional forms of peer referencing in assessing the quality and scholarly impact of published work. Join NISO for a webinar that will present several emerging aspects of Alternative Metrics.

Slides and Q/A from the session are already available online!  To preview these resources or to read more details of the conference, please point your browser to http://www.niso.org/news/events/2012/nisowebinars/alternative_metrics/
