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.

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
