Workshop Proposal: Scholarly Evaluation Metrics: Opportunities and Challenges

这次研讨会的目的是聚集文献计量学、信息计量学、网络和网络科学、数字图书馆、学术政策和开放知识库等领域的顶尖科学家和从业人员，就学术影响和出版物价值的定量评估进行公开讨论。在科学研究方面。学术影响和价值的定量评估历来是以引文数据为基础的。这种方法并不总是合适或准确的，因为学术的快节奏、开放和跨学科性质在很大程度上依赖于数字数据和来源。研讨会的目的是为进一步制定科学影响和价值的衡量标准提供指导和研究议程。研讨会的学术价值在于确定了科学标准和目标，这些标准和目标将导致更广泛的社区--接受各种影响衡量标准。随着数字研究环境的发展和吸引更多的参与者，传统上衡量的科学的影响正在发生根本性变化。获得社区认可的新颖影响衡量标准可能会导致更多样化和更平衡的科学图景，在这种情况下，更大和更多样化的社区的贡献得到更平等的认可和重视。

This workshop aims to bring together leading scientists and practitioners in the domains of bibliometrics, informetrics, network and web science, digital libraries, academic policies, and open repositories for a public discussion on the quantitative evaluation of scholarly impact and value of publications. on scientific research. Quantitative evaluation of scholarly impact and value has historically been conducted on the basis of citation data. This approach is not always appropriate or accurate in the fast-paced, open, and interdisciplinary nature of scholarship which is, to a large degree, dependent upon digital data and sources. The workshop is meant to provide guidance and research agendas for further development of metrics for scientific impact and value. The workshop's intellectual merit is found in defining the scientific criteria and objectives that would lead to a more general community-acceptance of various impact metrics. The impact of science as traditionally measured is at the point of fundamental change as the digital research environment grows and attracts more participants. Novel impact metrics, that gain community acceptance, may lead to a more diverse and balanced scientific landscape in which the contributions of a larger and more diverse community are more equally recognized and valued.
