Abstract: "Traditionally, scholarly impact and visibility have been measured by counting publications and citations in the scholarly literature. However, increasingly scholars are also visible on the Web, establishing presences in a growing variety of social ecosystems. But how wide and established is this presence, and how do measures of social Web impact relate to their more traditional counterparts? To answer this, we sampled 57 presenters from the 2010 Leiden STI Conference, gathering publication and citations counts as well as data from the presenters' Web "footprints." We found Web presence widespread and diverse: 84% of scholars had homepages, 70% were on LinkedIn, 23% had public Google Scholar profiles, and 16% were on Twitter. For sampled scholars' publications, social reference manager bookmarks were compared to Scopus and Web of Science citations; we found that Mendeley covers more than 80% of sampled articles, and that Mendeley bookmarks are significantly correlated (r=.45) to Scopus citation counts.

new perspective in journal metrics from Elsevier

Social networks are researched and lived (to a lesser degree). Will Vivo become the Facebook for scientists?

on country level, WoS and Scopus coverage is extremely correlated

The workshop centered on projects investigating or proposing new metrics, including the MESUR project, Eigenfactor, h-bar index, and PLoS ONE's article-level metrics.

One of the many comparative studies in the field of business and management which point to the conclusion that to see the full impact of HBS faculty article output (as judged by citations) needs to take into account GS (Harzing's), WoS and Scopus.

According to Christina Pikas, a doctoral student at the University of Maryland College of Information Studies who performed a cluster analysis on science blogs, communities generally form within scientific disciplines.
