Workshop on Scholarly Evaluation
Metrics
I'm very pleased to share this workshop announcement with the CNI
community. The workshop will take place the day after the fall CNI
meeting. I think this will be an important opportunity to look at the
state of the art in measuring the impact of scholarly work and to
shape the research agenda. I'll be moderating the closing panel.

NSF-funded Workshop "Scholarly Evaluation Metrics:
Opportunities and Challenges"
Registration is now open for "Scholarly Evaluation Metrics:
Opportunities and Challenges", a one-day NSF-funded workshop that
will take place in the Renaissance Washington DC Hotel on Wednesday,
December 16th 2009. Participation in this workshop is limited to 50
people. Registration is free at http://informatics.indiana.edu/scholmet09/registration.html.
The topic of the workshop is the future of scholarly assessment
approaches, including organizational, infrastructural, and community
issues. The overall goal is to identify requirements for novel
assessment approaches, several of which have been proposed in recent
years, to become acceptable to community stakeholders including
scholars, academic and research institutions, and funding agencies.
The impressive group of speakers and panelists for the workshop
includes representatives from each of these constituencies.

Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Johan.
