AROSIM 2018 Full day Workshop - January 26, 2018
The main objective of the AROSIM 2018 workshop is to create a forum to disseminate the latest works on altmetrics for measuring research impact and scholarly information management. The workshop will investigate how social media based metrics along with traditional and non-traditional metrics can advance the state-of-the-art in measuring research outputs.
The goals of the workshop are:
To promote the exchange of ideas and encourage potential collaborations amongst scholars from both computer science and information science disciplines, as well as with librarians and industry;
To investigate challenges and explore solutions for cross-metric exploration and validation,while considering disciplinary differences related to measuring research outputs;
To showcase innovative altmetric tools, methods, and datasets;
To provide a discussion platform for the academic communities, librarians, policy makers,publishers, as well as grant funding agencies.
We hope this workshop will help to inspire new research ideas as well as encourage future collaborations amongst the different disciplines and industry stakeholders.
We invite submission of ten pages (including references), representing original research, preliminary findings, new research proposals, position papers and also opinion papers. Student papers are also invited. A Best Paper Award, sponsored by Altmetric, will be given to the author(s) of the most outstanding work.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Altmetrics, informetrics, scientometrics, webometrics
Non-traditional metrics
Article-level metrics
Traditional bibliometric approaches and metrics
Scholarly information management
Design of Altmetrics systems and tools
Tools and methods for cross-metric validation and visualization
Altmetrics data modelling and datasets
Bibliometrics/Altmetrics-based information retrieval and recommender systems
Altmetrics-related information analysis
Models and theories of scholarly communication
Social network analysis of scholarly communication
Impact metrics for diverse research outputs, e.g., source code, research datasets

Critical discussions on (alt)metrics and research evaluation
Perspectives from policy makers, grant funding agencies, libraries, and publishers
Submission Instructions:
All papers will be peer reviewed (double-blind) by the program committee and judged by their relevance to the workshop, especially to the main themes identified above, and their potential to generate discussion.
