DESCRIPTION
O Public Knowledge Project (PKP) está lançando uma aplicação da métrica em nível de artigo da PloS (PLOS’ Article Level Metrics, ALM) focado em periódicos do mundo em desenvolvimento. O serviço tem o potencial de alcançar milhares de periódicos que utilizam o Open Journal System que, caso bem sucedido, pode incentivar editores de periódicos a orientar suas revistas a um público mais amplo. A apresentação apresenta o novo serviço ALM da PKP e os desafios encontrados, bem como um primeiro olhar para as métricas de todos os artigos publicados no SciELO Brasil em 2012. A apresentação fornece o primeiro e inédito olhar nas métricas em nível de artigo de um país Latino Americano e convida editores de periódicos e publishers a participar usando o Open Journal Systems, inscrevendo-se para ter acesso ao serviço.

assert the bias
@juancommander
against developing countries
and now...
@juancommander
there are
alternatives!
@juancommander
@juancommander
what do they mean for the SOUTH@juancommander
and what are our motivations
@juancommander
and what is my motivation
@juancommander
what should be ourmotivation
for caring about altmetrics/ALM
@juancommander
• new ways gaining visibility• new ways demonstrating visibility
• good articles can stand out from journal• researchers can stand out for good work
@juancommander
• counting some forms of public impact • being rewarded for other kinds of impact
• incentive to gear research to public(local?) interests• move away from dependencies on measures biased against the South
@juancommander
¡¡CAUTION!!

using
@juancommander
our plan
@juancommander
make these metrics prominent
on article pagesthe tried and true “shove it in people’s faces” approach
@juancommander
hopefully: •change culture around communicating research
•open minds to alternative measures of impact
•attract readers to a different group of journals
•give an incentive to do research of public interest
@juancommander
We are actively looking for journals
especially from Latin America
