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.

and some good studies came out of it
@juancommander

10. and they mostly
assert the bias
against developing countries
@juancommander

11. and now...
@juancommander

12. there are
alternatives!
@juancommander

13. @juancommander

motivations
@juancommander

16. and what is my
motivation
@juancommander

17. what should be our
motivation
for caring about
altmetrics/ALM
@juancommander

18. • new
ways gaining visibility
• new ways demonstrating visibility
• good
articles can stand out from journal
• researchers can stand out for good work
@juancommander

19. • counting
some forms of public impact
• being rewarded for other kinds of impact
• incentive
to gear research to public interests
• move away from dependencies on measures
biased against the South
@juancommander
(local?)

20. ¡¡CAUTION!!
@juancommander

@juancommander

29. launched an

using
giving priority to the small publishers
@juancommander

30. our plan
@juancommander

31. make these metrics
prominent
on article pages
the tried and true “shove it in people’s faces” approach
@juancommander

32. hopefully:
• change
• open
minds to alternative measures of impact
• attract
• give
@juancommander
culture around communicating research
readers to a different group of journals
an incentive to do research of public interest

33. We are actively looking for journals
especially from Latin America
sign-up your OJS journal here!
