Hi all,
Still have a proposal in mind you didn't have time to pull together?
Good news -- we've extended until this Friday, October 24.
The details of the symposium are below. Please forward to any
interested colleagues. We look forward to seeing your proposals!
------
The CINF Division of the ACS invites proposals for a symposium at the
March 22-26 ACS National Meeting in Denver: Defining 'Value' in
Scholarly Communications: Evolving Ways of Evaluating Impact on
Science
DEADLINE EXTENDED: October 24, 2014
SUBMIT HERE: http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/spring-2015.html
With the shift to digital workflows for online publication, the
expansion of research into a worldwide multidisciplinary undertaking,
the explosion of research from emerging economies, and greater
competition for less funding, we are confronted with a scholarly
communication ecosystem that must reevaluate is definitions of “value”
and “impact.” This symposium is dedicated to examining questions of
value and impact in all aspects of the scholarly communications
process, including researcher workflows and evolving technologies,
emerging measures of individual and group performance, new ways of
disseminating content and alternative forms of outputs, and competing
definitions of “value” in emerging versus established markets.
Topics areas to consider are:
- Disruptive technologies
- Alternative publishing models
- Alternative ways of measuring impact
- Evolving definitions of impact
- Impact of funder/government mandates
- Alternative research outputs (data, etc.)
For questions about the symposium or your proposal please feel free to
reach out to symposium organizers Teri Vogel ([log in to unmask]), Sara
Rouhi ([log in to unmask]), and Jeffrey Lancaster
([log in to unmask]).
Many thanks,
The symposium organizers:
