NISO Webinar 14 December 2017
Mission: To inspire wonder, discovery, and responsibility for our natural and cultural worlds.
Research department visibility and value to institution
Perception of institution’s value to all
Measurements to back up statements and reasoning
Libraries, Archives, and Museums are challenged to demonstrate 21st century usefulness
* New Media Consortium Horizon Report: 2015 Museum and Library Editions
Focus on ‘digital museum’
Social media presence
Strategy: capture visitor before, during, and after
Traditional metrics – citation counts, impact factors utility
New tools: scientometrics/altmetrics – Priem, Hemminger 2010
“Altmetrics expand our view of what impact looks like, but also of what’s making the impact” – Priem et al 2010 http://altmetrics.org/manifesto/
Challenge: harness online chatter for value of research
Answer: altmetrics
Journal impact factor is a citation ratio

• Identifies attention to research articles without press releases from NHMLAC Communications office
• Enables Communications office to more easily identify potential future promoters of NHMLAC research and activities
• Realization of attention to research by variety of interested parties around the world including:
• Research journalists
• News outlets
• Bloggers and other social media users with high count followers
• Provides easy way to gather attention of researchers’ work for grants, etc.
Use of any metrics to analyse published research not well received by researchers
Doesn’t reflect quality of work, just what’s ‘popular’
Doesn’t capture all published research
Doesn’t capture all the online discussions of research projects
Manipulation and gaming of system potential
