Symposium on Mapping and Measuring Scientific Output - May 10 - Santa Fe

[#1]

Hello,

Since one of the ACS CAP subcommittees is covering this topic, I wanted to be sure that those who might be interested received the invitation to attend this symposium.  You are encouraged to forward to interested parties at your institution/organization and beyond.  I know it may be difficult to travel to New Mexico for just a one day meeting, but if you can, I am sure you will find it worth your time.

The Los Alamos National Laboratory Research Library & Elsevier invite you to: A Symposium on Mapping and Measuring Scientific Output, May 10th, 2011 At Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza.

Measuring the impact and value of scientific publicationsis critical in times of information overload and budget constrains. Through theyears, several methodologies and metrics have been developed in order toaddress some of the many factors that can be taken into consideration whenassessing scientific output.

This symposium will address traditional and emerging metrics as well as the development of scientific maps and visualization tools and explore their different uses.

Join us for a day lead by world renowned speakers to hear and discuss the metrics that are used to evaluate the value and impact of research publications and how to increase the visibility of yours. Learn how scientific trends are being mapped and what are the latest visualization tools that are used to discover emerging scientific directions.
