4. Adding a social angel to relevance: Altmetrics
(Maybe) common sense:
• ALM = better than to
have only peer review
and citation counts
How do they compare?
• Peer review + citations =
done by a few experts
on research topic of
article in question.
• Bookmarks, Tweets,
Likes, usage data... =
broad, but diffuse.

...and not just on journals articles,
but also

8. Identified authors = authors we know more about
Thanks to interoperable
identifiers, we gain
knowledge from different
sources:
• Institutional („research
information systems“),
• Personal („Facebook for
scientists“, cf. VIVO),
• Publishers, repositories (cf.
ORCID)
• Research libraries,
• Citation analysis
• etc.

statements from researchers on topic
• Relevance B: (Number of) statements
from researchers on topic in total

14. What identifiers do we need to make that happen?
Interoperable Identifiers for
• researchers
• any kind of scholarly objects (+ collaborative, dynamic objects)
• organizational structures of academia (beyond grant numbers)
• in some cases, even for things (e.g. telescopes)
14
15. What identifiers do we need to make that happen?
Identifiers that can be used/enriched by
• their „owners“ – e .g. authors with their ORCID
• Institutions – e.g. librarians linking objects to ORCIDs when
their owners can`t/won`t
• others – e.g. citation references (+ bookmarking, tweeting...)
15
16. What identifiers do we need to make that happen?
As a result, identifiers shouldn`t be private property (but need to
be in the public domain).
And perhaps most important:
We need a broad awareness of identifiers and relation types
that are already in use, and a culture of reuse across different
application types (publishers, researcher network services,
institutional research information systems, and libraries).
Linked Open Data may be helpful in that way.
