1. today’s lineup…
How do we measure impact in different contexts/fields? How do we rank people and things? How do we determine expertise?
How do we traditionally look at “impact” in science and academic realms? (bibliometrics and citation analysis)
Are traditional methods of measuring impact changing? If so, how?

15. what is citation analysis?
utilizes quantitative analysis and statistics to describe patterns of publication within a given field or body of literature
[Write on board: relationships amongst reference lists]

16. what do you do with citation analysis?
researchers may use bibliometric methods of evaluation to determine the influence of a single writer, for example, or to describe the relationship between two or more writers or works
production and productivity
impact
co-publication patterns
connections between subject areas

17. useful to you…right now
Articles that cite the article you found may be of similar interest
some databases include info/links (cited in this database)
Google Scholar also offers this feature

18. useful to you…right now

Google Scholar also offers this feature
If other publications are citing a source, that may lend credence to its importance/impact
useful in evaluating a source

19. After watching the first Web of Science video, I discovered what citation tracking was and how it can be beneficial for researchers.
But, what I thought was interesting was that an article could be cited hundreds of times and this could mean the article was either really good or maybe really bad.
How can you tell whether an article is receiving attention and being cited frequently for correct or incorrect information? It would be easy to assume that because an article is cited many times that it means it was accurate and interesting.

Journal final version
Scholarly communication process
What’s captured traditionally
Only one version is captured, and the same community then pays to buy back access to article

38. How is scholarly communication changing?
Think of scholarly communication as continuous process instead of single product (journal publication).
Capture significant changes/versions of a work.
Include all criticisms and comments about work (all stages).
Support normal scholarly discourse, including authors responses as well as others’ comments.
Add reviewer’s quantitative rating of material to allow better filtering based on absolute quality metric during retrieval.
Add machine (automated) reviews.
Include other forms of information (audio, pictures, video, graphs, datasets, statistics)

39. My question regarding that is if this increased cloud sourcing will help or hurt? Having more eyes on something normally means it reviews better, but as the article stated you are at the whim on the mob masses.
If it is seen by the wrong eyes it may not be vetted correctly. Is the trade off worth it for more eyes to review the literature if someone of those may not be qualified?

Supports your case/research
Avoid plagiarism
Places your work within scholarly dialogue
Use reference lists to find additional/relevant material
Look for material that cites your source – will be more recent
