Traditional metrics, such as the h-index and journal impact factors, are used to measure the scholarly impact of research. However, in the current climate of accountability by funding providers, fund recipients would benefit from a more comprehensive impact management system (IMS) to facilitate the capture and reporting of narratives (including metrics) about research impact in the academy, on social policy, in industry, and ultimately with the public.
Librarians have always been good at telling and facilitating stories. Research support librarians can use their storytelling skills to contribute to the implementation and administration of an impact management system. Being able to translate research impact into harvestable and reportable metadata is the key.
The Right Metrics for Generation Open [Open Access Week 2014]Impactstory Team
The traditional way to understand and demonstrate your impact–through citation counts–doesn’t meet the needs of today’s researchers. What Generation Open needs is altmetrics.
In this presentation, we cover:
- what altmetrics are and the types of altmetrics today’s researchers can expect to receive,
- how you can track and share those metrics to get all the credit you deserve, and
- real life examples of scientists who used altmetrics to get grants and tenure

h index: Benchmark of productivity and impact of researcher AJAY SEMALTY
In the Indices of research series h index is discussed here. The h-index (sometimes called the Hirsch index or Hirsch number) is one of the several research indices which is used to measure the productivity and impact of of a researcher/ research group/ institution. It’s an index which increases on the basis of citations and number of papers continuously with the passage of time. It is the major benchmark used by the employers for selection/recruitment and/ or assessment of Researchers. This e-module will let you know all about the h index: What, How, Who, why......about h index will be answered here. In the very next video we will cover how to identify h index of a researcher in various platforms.

ALTMETRICS : A HASTY PEEP INTO NEW SCHOLARLY MEASUREMENTSaptarshi Ghosh
The term ‘Altmetrics’ was proposed by Jason Priem, a PhD student at the School of Information and Library Science at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill through a tweet. [https://twitter.com/asnpriem/status/25844968813].
Altmetrics is the combination of two words such as: ‘Alternative’ and ‘Metrics’ in which the ‘alt-‘part refers to alternative types of metrics (that is alternative to traditional metrics such as citation analysis, impact factor, downloads & usage data etc.).
Altmetrics is the creation and study of new metrics based on the Social Web for analyzing, and informing scholarship (http://altmetrics.org/about/). It is the study of new indicators for the analysis of academic activity based on Web 2.0.

Writing an article for online distribution in a way that maximized the chances of citation hits, is different from preparing one for print journals in some small, but important, respects. To be cited, articles have to be visible in an electronic environment. Therefore, publishing a high quality paper in scientific journals will be a halfway of receiving citation in the future. The rest of the way is advertising and disseminating the publications by using the proper “Research Tools”. Familiarity with the tools allows the researcher to increase his/her h-index in the short time.
The number of citations has over 30% share in academic ranking. Hence, most of the scientists are looking for a method to increase their citation record. Nader developed and introduced a method for increasing the visibility and impact of the research which directly effects on the number of citations. This talk tends to introduce some of the key points for improving the citation trends in developing countries by presenting the current situation and the future trends.

Altmetrics to track the impact of datasetsPat Loria
There are many good reasons why researchers might track the impact of their datasets. To provide supplementary evidence of influence for the next grant application or performance review or promotional opportunity. Or to track impact on the academy, on industry, on society or public policy. Could people or organizations engaging with a dataset become potential partners or collaborators?
Altmetrics provide quantitative evidence of impact or influence by reporting scholarly and social online engagement with research datasets. They can be tracked using a range of services, from the more traditional citation databases to data and institutional repositories, and of course from altmetrics aggregator services.
But we need to be careful not to create additional administrative burdens on time-poor researchers and also of the limitations in data citation practices or the lack thereof. One way we can achieve the former is to harvest altmetrics into our institutional repositories or data discovery services, saving time for the researcher by providing a systems solution.
"Open Access: recalibrating the relationships" Neil Jacobs, DARTS4ARLGSW
Neil will focus on the lessons from the Jisc-APC pilot, and how the workflows around all forms of OA are changing the roles and responsibilities of information professionals within and beyond the HEI. There are new drivers (eg the HEFCE REF OA policy), new points of contact / transaction (eg Gold OA payments of various kinds), and new opportunities (eg to populate repositories). The talk will explore the workflows that are emerging as effective in addressing these changes, and their implications for all concerned.
"Designing practitioner research for impact" Miggie Pickton, DARTS4ARLGSW
Miggie will highlight the growing importance of impact in research generally including impact case studies in the REF, funders’ demands for impact statements in research proposals, and employers requiring impact on service. This section will make a link between librarians supporting researchers and doing (and using) research themselves. This will lead on to looking at opportunities for making an impact in practitioner research.

Even as the pace of society, business, and the Internet continue to increase, many budgets and time lines continue to decrease. To compound this issue, there is a serious disconnect between business goals, user goals, and what visitors actually do on your site. UX practitioners need a simple and efficient way to reconcile these diverse needs while taking action on their data. Join us to learn about a new method for incorporating quantitative data such as web analytics and business intelligence into your qualitative user experience deliverables: personas, wireframes, and more. This presentation will include discussions of online business models, feedback loops for ensuring cross-discipline collaboration, and ongoing revisions.

Into the wild: research 'impact' and the curious world of public policyJulian Dobson
Higher education institutions are increasingly concerned to demonstrate the 'impact' of their research on society. But what happens to research and evidence in the real world of public policy? Using examples from the context of the UK, this presentation outlines some questions researchers and institutions should be asking.
This presentation was part of a talk given to doctoral students at the University of Sheffield in May 2015.
The School of Physical Sciences offers degree programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Access to our Undergraduate degrees is by application to the Central Applications Office (CAO) or the International Office Directly for non EU applicants.

Altmetrics attempts to provide timely measures of an impact through the use of metrics from HTML views and downloads of scholarly articles, blog posts, tweets, bookmarks, etc. Publishers of scientific research have enabled altmetrics on their articles, open source applications are available for platforms to display altmetrics on scientific research and subscription models have been created to measure the use that research articles receive online. This presentation reviews some of the current models for providing altmetrics along with information on a selection the providers that have made altmetrics available for general use.

Altmetrics: the movement, the tools, and the implicationsKR_Barker
The October 2015 iteration of the class created and taught by Andrea Denton and Kimberley R. Barker, both of the UVA Claude Moore Health Sciences Library.
Modern research metrics and new models of evaluation have risen high on the academic agenda in the last few years. In this session two UK institutions who have adopted such metrics across their faculty will share their motivations and experiences of doing so, and explain further how they are integrating these data into existing models of review and analysis.
Altmetrics: the movement, the tools, and the implicationsKR_Barker
Measuring scholarly impact has traditionally been tied to the calculation of a scholarly article’s number of citations and the Impact Factor of its journal. Today, however, scholarly contributions take many forms: computer code, data sets, blog postings, tweets, practice guidelines and beyond. As the products of research evolve, so will the way in which credit is measured. This class will provide an overview of “altmetrics”, the movement to assess influence of both traditional and non-traditional scholarly contributions. We will define altmetrics, discuss why it is important in today’s digital scholarly environment, and demonstrate tools available to measure influence. After completing this course, the learner will be able to define altmetrics and compare it to traditional forms of measuring scholarly impact; name examples of scholarly contributions that are alternatives to traditional methods (e.g. datasets, blog postings, tweets, etc.); name examples of alternative means of measuring scholarly contributions (e.g. download counts, tweets about, etc.); discuss why today’s online, social environment necessitates a change in the way scholarly contributions are measured; name resources to learn more about altmetrics such as altmetrics.org; and name tools to measure alternative scholarly contributions such as Altmetric.com, Impact Story, Plum Analytics, etc.
Gather evidence to demonstrate the impact of your researchIUPUI
This workshop is the 3rd in a series of 4 titled "Maximize your impact" offered by the IUPUI University Library Center for Digital Scholarship. Faculty must provide strong evidence of impact in order to achieve promotion and tenure. Having strong evidence in year 5 is made easier by strategic dissemination early in your tenure track. In this hands-on workshop, we will introduce key sources of evidence to support your case, demonstrate strategies for gathering this evidence, and provide a variety of examples. These sources include citation metrics, article level metrics, and altmetrics as indicators of impact to support your narrative of excellence.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
