Overview:
Do you really know what an Impact Factor is? Many of us think we know, but do we really? What about the Eigen factor and the H-index? These are three different metrics that tell us something about the usefulness and value of the journals we publish; wouldn't it be great to truly understand them and know how to use them to promote our publications? Two of the industry's leading experts will share their knowledge and help bring us to the next level.
Program:
- How should the Impact Factor be used?
- What pitfalls should be avoided in using it?
- What are the H-index and Eigen factor?
- How do they differ from the Impact Factor?
- What do they tell us?
- What do usage reports and download counts tell us?
- As we move forward from the impact factor and other metrics , what can we learn from other measurements of quality and usefulness?
- What does the future hold in store?
Who should attend:
This workshop is designed for publishers, editors, librarians and academics who truly want to understand bibliometrics and how to put them to the best use. |
