Beyond Alt-Metrics: Identities & Influence Online
The document discusses the concept of 'knowledge abundance' in the context of networked scholarship and education, emphasizing the shift from data accumulation to data handling. It highlights the reputational economies and logics within academic networks, where personal identities and visibility play crucial roles in influence and contribution. Lastly, it poses questions about the implications of these dynamics for education and scholarship in the digital age.

Second, it no longer is necessary to store within the human brain all of the information that humans need. Education needs to be geared toward the handling of data rather than the accumulation of data.” - Berlo, 1975

Editor's Notes
- #4 Well yes, I say. There’s scholarship. And there’s what people had for lunch. And I study the intersection of the two.
- #15 And it’s more than just putting work online.. It’s a stretching beyond your institutional role to create identity positions within audiences and networks you may not have known were there…through ongoing networked practices.
- #20 Influence is how we determine the reputation and credibility and essentially the status of a scholar. There are two ways we assess influence: there’s the teeny little group of people who understand what your work really means…and then there’s everybody else, from different fields, who piece together the picture from external signals: what journals you publish in, what school you went to, your citation count, your h-index, your last grant. Things people recognize and trust.
- #21 Reputational logics
- #22 When we talk about influence and reputation and credibility, we are always talking about tangibles and intangibles. In institutional structures and in networked structures. Each of you here has a pretty clear sense of what influence markers count in your field: how to be a credible academic within the institutional context. But influence that has its origins not in premier journals and gatekept structures, but in the free-for-all of online networks?
- #30 New technologies gives us new ways of signaling to each other
