Author Identifiers in Scholarly Repositories | Warner | Journal of Digital Information - 0 views

Bibliometric and usage-based analyses and tools highlight the value of information about scholarship contained within the network of authors, articles and usage data. Less progress has been made on populating and using the author side of this network than the article side, in part because of the difficulty of unambiguously identifying authors. I briefly review a sample of author identifier schemes, and consider use in scholarly repositories. I then describe preliminary work at arXiv to implement public author identifiers, services based on them, and plans to make this information
Article-level metrics at PLoS - 0 views

The Public Library of Science (PLoS) is the first publisher to place transparent and comprehensive information about the usage and reach of published articles onto the articles themselves, so that the entire academic community can assess their value. We call these measures for evaluating articles 'Article-Level Metrics', and they are distinct from the journal-level measures of research quality that have traditionally been made available until now.

Formerly, the impact of authors and their scientific production was measured by the average citation frequencies of journals publishing their research: the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), calculated by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) in the United States and published annually in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR)-the most frequently used quantitative indicator to measure the quality/value/impact of research works published in the core international journals. It has been suggested that, by calculating the number of webpages pointing to a given site, analogously, a Web Impact Factor can be calculated as a way of comparing the attractiveness of sites or domains on the World Wide Web.
Prospects for Systemic Change across Academic Libraries (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE - 3 views

Proposes a new way of looking at library organization and services, with three specific areas, reduce redundant collection and storage with a "national network of "last copy" print repositories," throw efforts toward National Digital Library such as proposed by Darnton, coordinate depository and data sharing initiatives, consolidate technical services operations regionally, and establish an LIS R&D for data collection, data sharing, decision making and development of useful information applications.
