Monday, November 9, 11:00 AM: Dr. Peter Binfield, Managing Editor of PLoS ONE, will describe PLoS’s motivation for creating article-level metrics; how they are being implemented; and why you should care about them. The “impact factor” of a journal is commonly used by scientists and administrators as one indicator of the quality of individual articles within that journals. But the impact factor only works at the journal level, and cannot measure the reach of an individual article. With the advent of the internet it is now possible to measure the worth of an individual article via “Article-Level Metrics” (metrics which include citations, usage, bookmarks, blog coverage, and post publication commentary for a single article). In this respect the Public Library of Science (PLoS) leads the world in providing the data to follow this analysis.
