Tools for measuring and analyzing institutional research output are proliferating, with new options available from both commercial vendors and the open source software community. These tools enable tracking of faculty and student research, publications, citations, and downloads; provide key metrics on grants and awards; expose opportunities for cross-campus collaborations; allow comparison of metrics between institutions; and support the development of public faculty research and publishing profiles.
In this workshop we will learn why librarians need to know about these tools, how these tools might help librarians engage in campus-wide conversations about institutional research activities, hear from both product experts and librarians who have used these tools at their own institutions, and explore how you can apply what you have learned to your own institution.
Presenters include:
Jay Schafer, University of Massachusetts Amherst Julia Hawks, Thomson Reuter (InCites) Ann Devenish and John Furfey, MBLWHOI Library (BibApp) Erik Moses and Joanna Kilpatrick, Elsevier (SciVal) Ellen Cramer, Cornell University (VIVO) and more!
After the morning's presentations and a networking lunch, we will break into roundtables for in-depth discussions of the need for information about research and publishing in our institutions, for a closer look at the tools, and for discussions of what's happening on our various campuses. We'll also share ideas for applying these tools and for partnering with others on our campuses that share our interest in research analytics.
